Cambodia, Laos Trip Review: Angkor Wat, Luang Prabang, Battambang, Alms-Giving Ceremony, 20 Days

We had a fantastic trip to Cambodia and Laos!!! Zicasso’s tour company went above and beyond our expectations.

Every guide and driver was awesome. They were prompt, informative, helpful, and, most importantly, very personable. If there were any concerns, the guides handled the issue in a professional and timely manner.

The hotels and accommodations were always five-star and exceeded our expectations.

On our trip, we journeyed from the hectic life of cities to the simple subsistence life of remote villages. We learned about local history, culture, religion, and food. We saw Angkor Wat, literally one of the wonders of the world, as well as seeing the horrors of the reign of the Khmer Rouge.

In Cambodia and Laos, this trip was full of wonderful experiences, education, and excitement. It broadened our understanding of the world, just as travel should. Thank you for recommending this travel company to us.

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.
