Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team were amazing to work with to plan our ideal trip. We were impressed that every transfer and excursion was right on time and exceeded all our expectations. We felt taken care of during our entire trip and were impressed with how they were able to create an itinerary that met all of our requests. I would use them again and highly recommend them for any travel adventures!

New Zealand Tour Review: Milford Sound, Timber Trail, Rafting, Hiking, Kayaking, 3-Week Trip

Unless we spent hundreds of hours researching a trip to New Zealand ourselves, we would have never found all the special places that Zicasso’s travel specialist booked for us. Our three-week adventurous trip went very smoothly. We even had kiwis we met ask for the travel specialist’s contact number!
