Thailand Travel Review: Culture, History, 9 Nights

It was a well-planned trip. Zicasso’s travel specialist really listened to our likes and dislikes and tailored the trip accordingly. We received competing proposals initially and the plan prepared by the travel specialist was clearly tailored to us and far superior to the more “canned” approach proposed by others.

Thailand Tour Review: Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Elephant Sanctuary, 10 Night Trip

Our overall trip was exactly as we had planned. Arrival into Thailand was a little confusing, but Zicasso’s travel specialist helped right away. The information he gave us about arrival was on the travel statement, just small print at the bottom of the page, and I didn’t notice it. Correspondence with the travel specialist was excellent from start to finish, with all questions answered promptly.

Thailand Tour Review: Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Phuket, Elephant Rescue Facilities, 13 Nights

This trip was planned out perfectly to all my wants and desires. Zicasso’s travel specialist created one of the best experiences we've had. Having been on trips planned by other travel groups, I think this surpassed them by cost and coordination.

All the guides were excellent and we were never left without someone to contact. All the drivers arrived on time (even early) and we were contacted ahead of time about who and where to meet each person (sometimes with photos of who would be picking us up).

The independent excursions that were arranged were excellent, with knowledgeable and personable guides.

The transfers to and from the airport were coordinated to perfection, and the travel specialist’s office contact even did the check-in process for the flights from Chiang Mai to Bangkok to Phuket. She also completed the immigration form for us for arrival in Thailand.

I can go on and on, but I can't say enough good things about the travel specialist’s coordination of our trip and how beautiful Thailand is in country and people.
