New Zealand Trip Review: Queenstown, E-biking, Maori Festival, 12 Nights

We had a wonderful time and we appreciate the efforts of Zicasso's travel specialists. Unfortunately, our trip was severely impacted by the weather in the south and several planned events did not happen. The support we got from the agency was very comforting and helpful while we faced uncertainty. They helped us manage as best as we could and I am grateful for their efforts and assistance. What we were able to do was worth doing and remembering, and I certainly could only say positive things about New Zealand, its inhabitants, and our agency following my experience.

Australia, New Zealand Vacation Review: Tasmania, Queenstown, 16 Nights

From the first discussions about what we wanted in our trip to helping us cope with weather-related air-travel disruptions, Zicasso’s travel specialist and the travel company were marvelous. They guided us to the perfect itinerary that had us enjoying the things we really like in destinations without the giant crowds.

The tour companies and guides they selected were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They all customized our tours on the fly to ensure we had the best tours possible. The sites and accommodations the travel specialist selected for us were some of the best we have ever experienced.

If you are thinking of a trip to Australia or New Zealand, and you want a truly customized trip with wonderful tours and accommodations, you must contact them.

Australia, New Zealand Tour Review: 1 Month

This was a trip of a lifetime! We had wanted to go to Australia and New Zealand for 40-plus years and this trip did not disappoint.

Zicasso's trip expert was fantastic. When first beginning to plan the trip, he spoke to us by phone and email numerous times to get to know us and find out what we liked, wanted, and were physically able and not able to do. He really listened and planned our trip accordingly.

While we were traveling, he was always instantly available for anything we needed or any questions we had.
