They are absolutely excellent. Our tour was great; drivers and guides became friends. They were excellent.
Zicasso's travel specialist was quick to respond when our plans changed with the ferry schedule and we needed to change plans due to rough seas.
Zicasso's travel specialist was amazing. Another team member and her crew kept in touch with us the entire time. Not only that, but they rearranged and helped out with the several unexpected events that occurred. We were well taken care of.
As for the trip, it more than met our expectations. We enjoyed a perfect combination of sightseeing and personal contact with the people and their culture.
My husband and I had the best experience working with our travel company and it has been our favorite vacation to date.
Zicasso’s travel specialist has excellent customer service. She’s very thoughtful in her recommendations for each city and checked up on us regularly, leading up to it and during our trip. I’m not exaggerating when I say everything went according to plan, no hiccups or delays. The weather was perfect too!
My family had an amazing trip customized by Zicasso's travel specialist. Wow, the time and organization that went into planning our trip by our specialist, the communication, the attention to detail... it all came together and we had a trip of a lifetime to England!
Organized, smooth transfers, professional interactions by all. We only had one driver who was late, but the winery made up for the inconvenience.
From beginning planning to our departure home, our travel company, Zicasso’s travel specialists, and all of the wonderful guides and drivers could not have been more accommodating, caring, and communicative. Each day of touring was filled with wonderful, experienced guides who personalized our visits.
Our Zicasso travel company was excellent in both the planning and execution of our vacation. They were extremely knowledgeable and also listened to us in setting the itinerary. The selection of hotels, guides, and travel options were all excellent.
Our trip was fabulous! Zicasso's travel company planned and scheduled an amazing itinerary, hotels, and transportation.
Zicasso's travel specialist planned a beautiful 14-day trip for our first visit to Greece. Along the entire year-long planning period, our specialist provided invaluable advice and expertise. The hotels were exquisite, and the attractions and excursions were perfectly suited for our interests.
Excellent company! The trip was fantastic, which satisfied and exceeded all our expectations.
We had an excellent experience working with Zicasso's travel specialist to plan our Italian vacation.
Starting with our first conversation, our specialist listened to us on where we wanted to go, which was the Dolomites, Rome, and Sorrento, what we wanted to see and do, and, most importantly, the kind of experience we hoped to have. He then planned different custom-tailored itineraries for us to choose from.
We were traveling with our mother, who is an active senior, and these itineraries took this into consideration. The accommodations, transportation, and activities were thoughtfully chosen so she could participate comfortably and fully enjoy the active and varied itinerary.
His support continued throughout the trip. Having someone knowledgeable and responsive available when things didn't go according to plan gave us tremendous peace of mind. For example, there was a planned train strike on the day we were traveling. Luckily, it didn't go through, but our specialist was monitoring the situation closely and ready to give us an alternative solution so that our trip would not be disrupted.
Communication throughout the entire process was excellent. Our specialist was transparent and responsive. He was only one phone call away at any time, which is a wonderful change from the automated system one gets these days.
Thank you for being our partner on our family trip to Italy. We came back home well rested and with wonderful memories of our trip.
Everything went as expected. It actually surpassed our expectations. They got us from point A to point B in all five-star accommodations. Everything was wonderful.
My Italy trip was nothing short of amazing. Every detail was thought of prepared for. I couldn’t have asked for better guidance. I will always recommend memorable.
Our travel company is a top-notch agency. Zicasso’s travel specialist took the time to get to know us personally and then designed a thoughtful custom tour for us. Refined and adventurous 30th anniversary trip.
Luxury hotels that met our travel needs and itinerary. Extraordinary arrangements for local tour guides that offered a true feel for the country. Reservations for restaurants and recommendations for local spots that were easy to find in the app. Rental car reservations and daily driving directions in the app made travel stress-free.
Overall impression of our specialist and her team... “Thoughtful and thorough.” We give our full recommendation of our travel company and our gratitude for a spectacular trip.
Zicasso's travel specialist did a great job by meeting my initial expectations and goals for the trip. He then exceeded my expectations for the itinerary; I would 100% recommend booking through Zicasso.
The trip was amazing. It was everything I could have asked for. Zicasso's travel specialist was fantastic. Her recommendations were great and she was so thoughtful about my elderly parents and all of the details that made the trip such a good experience for all of us. Ten out of 10 would definitely book with her again.
Zicasso's travel specialist was a pleasure to work with and made the traveling so easy... it was comforting to know that I could contact her while in Croatia and she helped me immensely. The hotels were perfect and our tour guides were wonderful.
What a wonderful stress-free trip we enjoyed through our travel company! From the initial contact to the end, everything went smoothly. Our group of six appreciated all concerns or questions and prompt responses through WhatsApp.
We visited Athens, Crete, Santorini, and Naxos. Our tours and accommodations were great, but our private villa in Santorini overlooking the caldera blew us away! We loved being together and the pool was a treat with the incredible view! I highly recommend staying there.
Every guide was phenomenal and many were personable. Kudos to our guide at the Parthenon, our guide in Crete at the 7 Villages of Apokoronas, and our host at lunch who sent us on our way with birthday gifts! Also, our guide at Knossos Palace, our driver to Heraklion, who was full of information, the crew on our caldera catamaran, and one especially sweet team member! (Sorry if I missed anyone. Everyone was so nice!)
So, to Zicasso's travel specialists and all associated with our travel company, a huge thank you from me, my husband, and I know our friends, too. I have already recommended your company to some other friends.
Trip exceeded my expectations! Everything was perfect and smooth. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend our Zicasso travel specialist and her company.
We had an amazing time on our trip planned by Zicasso's tour company. All of our hotels and activities were amazing, and all of our transfers went smoothly. They even helped us work around a last-minute cancellation by our airline. The next trip we book for Italy will 100% be with this company.
Zicasso’s travel specialist was instrumental in designing our amazing trip to Italy. She was flexible in adapting to changes in our itinerary whenever I decided to change at the last moment, and most important of all, she offered constant support and personal availability when questions and issues seemed to pop up while traveling.
Thanks to the excellent planning and assistance by Zicasso's travel specialist, we had a marvelous time that exceeded our expectations! Our visits to Athens, Corinth, Crete, and Santorini were all so different and memorable.
From our first contact with our specialist, we knew we had been blessed with a wonderful, competent travel agent. She listened to us well, planned an excellent itinerary that reflected what we had communicated... and more, and was very responsive to every message and call. We have no complaints, only praise for her! We have already referred her to some of our friends who are hoping to go to Greece and told them to consider no one else except our specialist.
We had the best vacation. Having personalized attention made our trip that much more enjoyable. Our accommodations, minus one small hiccup, were perfect. Our transfers and tours were wonderful.
The attention to detail is spectacular. It was wonderful knowing we could reach Zicasso's travel specialist if needed on the cell phone they provided. We met other travelers at dinner in Chania who our specialist assisted, and they were just as delighted as we were.
The tour guides were fantastic and especially helpful. Greece is a little tough for those with limited mobility, so that is one thing to ask anyone traveling to Greece or anywhere that has many steep steps. Luckily, we are still very mobile, but I would caution other travelers who may need extra help.
We are looking for our next adventure.
Zicasso's travel specialist listened well and asked good questions. She built an itinerary that fit our desire to be active and out of the typical tourist fray. She was in touch throughout planning and while we were traveling, always responsive!
Zicasso's travel specialist put together a fantastic trip for us. The best part was the guides, who were not just knowledgeable about the places we were going and sites we were seeing, but open and thoughtful about their lives, their country, and its history.
The whole experience was wonderful. Every detail was thought of by Zicasso's travel specialist and the company. He was the perfect host! He brought history and love of Portugal into our encounters.
Everything was seamless, from airport pickups to drivers, guides, and itinerary vouchers.
Zicasso's travel specialist and her team put together an absolutely amazing trip for us! This was my first time using a travel agent, so the entire experience was new to me, and I can honestly say I don't think we'll ever go back to planning trips on our own.
From start to finish, the team took incredible care of us. Every detail was thoughtfully coordinated, from transportation and event schedules to ensuring we knew exactly who we would be meeting and when. They even provided helpful guidance for navigating the airport, including which ticket counters to use.
I have never felt so supported while traveling, which was especially meaningful as we were bringing my mother to a foreign country. Having that level of care and attention gave us tremendous peace of mind throughout the journey.
Most importantly, our specialist and her team were always kind, patient, and responsive, no matter how many questions I had or how often I asked them. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made this trip truly unforgettable. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Zicasso's travel specialist planned an amazing trip to Italy for my husband and me.
Itinerary outstanding, balancing popular sites with less "touristy" sites. Zicasso's travel specialist was easily accessible when we encountered questions.
Drivers were excellent, on time, and, mostly, interactive and kind. One driver seemed like he would rather be alone than driving us!
The trip was amazing. Zicasso's travel specialist was terrific at answering all our questions and updating us as necessary. The selection of guides, drivers, and skippers was perfect. I would recommend our travel specialist to anyone interested in going to Croatia, a beautiful country.
The lodge was beautiful. Our Zicasso travel specialist was wonderful. He was patient and helpful and provided great assistance when glitches arose. He was in constant contact throughout the trip and made us feel taken care of.
The trip was challenging due to bad weather and strong winds. One of our flights got canceled, so we had to take a boat. The next boat we took, the ocean was so choppy everyone on the boat was getting sick or throwing up. Through our whole trip, our excursions were being canceled.
Through all those challenges, Zicasso's travel specialist was amazing. He guided us through all the changes and made sure we were able to enjoy other activities that were available. The trip would have been worse if not for our specialist. He was so good to us and made us feel well taken care of. I'm truly grateful for him and his kindness. If we go again, we will definitely choose our specialist, and I will also refer my friends to your company.
Greece was beautiful and all the hotels were great, and loved that our specialist had all of our transportation taken care of. Very friendly people in Greece, and food was spectacular. Loved all the freshness of the meals. The baked goods were also very, very good. Glad we got to experience Greece.
Thank you for all your help; we do have some good memories.
We had a great time. All the guides and drivers were on time every time we were to be met or picked up. Our two guides were with us for two days and four days, respectively. They both went above and beyond. Anytime we mentioned something, they were there for us or arranged it happening. This included caring for one in our group having digestive problems.
We would recommend our travel company and specifically the two previously mentioned guides for anyone wanting to see Japan.
Zicasso's travel specialist did a great job organizing our trip!
The trip was extremely well planned. We were provided meticulous details for each day. The communication was great. The hotels were excellent. We were very pleased.
We found our travel company, Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team, so insightful and a delight to work with. She listened to our requests, budget, and time frame, and defined a plan that accomplished all the highlights and destinations we asked for. Their recommendations on experiences, sights, restaurants, logistics, and accommodations couldn’t have been more well suited to our personal preferences and style.
All along the way I was assured that they were there for support of any kind. Always quite responsive. And the efficiency of their transfer partners, guides, and tour operators was spot on. Once again, I am pleased with the quality of the Zicasso partners and they have never disappointed us!
Zicasso's travel specialist went above and beyond with our group of six for a three-week trip to Australia. He really listened to us and made multiple changes and great suggestions in planning our itinerary and accommodating each person in our group's "can't-miss" stop!
And he answered questions while we were traveling promptly, even on a Sunday when we did not expect an answer until the next day. I would not hesitate to use his services again or recommend them to any of my friends!
Everything was amazing! All went super-smoothly and we enjoyed everything. Thank you!
We cannot say enough positive things about our travel company. From the first communication with Zicasso’s travel specialist planning the details to the whole team that made the entire trip seamless. Every step was a true joy. They did not miss anything and worked to anticipate what we would need, making recommendations that worked best for our family of six.
Every single team member was like family for us during the trip, so attentive and responsive. A special thanks to one team member, a true joy to work with. We will absolutely recommend our travel company to anyone we know is going to Italy.
Absolutely loved this trip and the tours/accomodations Zicasso's travel specialist recommended. Followed exactly what we were looking for on this trip with ease and within budget as well. Would highly recommend!
The trip exceeded all expectations. Every detail was planned to perfection.
Our travel company delivered exactly what we were hoping for from our 35th wedding anniversary trip. The entire experience across four different locations was meticulously planned and seamlessly executed, providing an experience that was fulfilling yet perfectly paced.
We loved the convenience of sharing what kind of trip we wanted and how relaxing we wanted it… and the option of adding or removing some suggestions to better personalize it for ourselves. We highly recommend using Zicasso if you’re planning a vacation.
The Zicasso travel company's team was outstanding. From the hotels to the guides and the app, it was truly spectacular in every way. Highly recommend them for any trip you're planning to Italy!
Zicasso's travel specialist organized a wonderful trip to Tuscany. Everything was lovely. She was easy to work with, responsive, helpful in making decisions on where to go, and making suggestions to enhance our trip.
Our hotels were wonderful, clean, and well located; our drivers were professional and on time; we enjoyed all of our tours and activities; and the itinerary was perfect for our style of travel.
When our returning flights were canceled and we had to stay an extra day, our specialist was invaluable. She had to do a lot of work to get us a hotel room in Florence and arrange for a driver to get us to the airport at 4 a.m. We highly recommend our specialist and our travel company.
We had a wonderful trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe! Zicasso's travel specialist did a superb job in planning the details of our trip, from airport transfers to hotels, tours, internal flights, and restaurant recommendations. I would highly recommend the travel company.
We stayed in boutique hotels, each with its own character, and all provided lovely staff and good restaurants. The safari lodge was outstanding. Our tour guides/drivers were friendly and knowledgeable throughout the trip.
The only thing we would change is the e-bike wine tasting tour in Franschhoek. The bike route was very rough and therefore dangerous. The guides accommodated our request to revise the itinerary and take us on a better route with less biking time. They also arranged for a van to pick us up at the end of the wine tasting.
The team tailored our trip and made it a memorable 25th anniversary celebration. Trip planning was flawless.
Above all, when travel logistics changed in real time due to delayed trains and volcanic activity from Mt. Etna, the team mobilized and took action at all hours. They made sure we were safe and found all of us alternative transportation options. It was impressive to witness and we are grateful we chose them. Excited to book our next trip with them soon.
Our two-week Italy trip was perfectly planned and executed by Zicasso's travel company. The accommodations and guides exceeded our expectations. It was a fun, relaxing adventure.
Just got back from a two-week trip to Italy. Every detail was planned by Zicasso's travel specialist and her team was on top of every detail while we were there. So organized and always accessible. We will for sure be using them again!
Wow. What a trip. Zicasso's travel specialist created an amazing itinerary within our budget. We hit so many must-see Italy locations it's impossible to say what was our favorite.
You don't think you need assistance when everything goes well, but our specialist's response when we hit a few transportation issues was invaluable and she got us where we needed to be. I wish she could plan all my future travels. I have already recommended our specialist to friends planning to travel to Italy.
We visited Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Rome, Tuscany, Florence, and Venice with guided tours and private drivers.
I'm copying and pasting exactly what I wrote to Zicasso's travel specialist: Thank you and your wonderful team for putting together a great trip for us: the breathtaking sights, the beautiful experiences, the lovely hotels, the delightful guides, and the seamless transitions made for an unforgettable 10 days. Every single person we dealt with, including the van drivers, was lovely.
Our vacation to Greece by Zicasso's travel specialist and the team went beautifully. It was seamless and so easy. All transfers and tours were on time and put together so well. We would highly recommend our travel company.
I can’t say enough about Zicasso's travel company. Our travel experts were both amazing. They planned the most amazing trip and stayed in constant contact. I highly recommend using them for your trip to Italy
We cannot say enough good things about our 10-day trip to Italy! We can't wait to go back and will be working with the same company next time.
They listened to what we wanted and provided top-class service with a custom trip which exactly fit our needs. It was so refreshing to give minimal guidance on our likes and dislikes about travel and have them find the perfect itinerary. Every driver, tour guide, and winery they set us up with were the best! We really enjoyed our e-bike ride in Sorrento. Our guide grew up there and was able to show us things off the beaten path.
All hotel accommodations were excellent and felt like we got the "best" rooms at each location, no doubt due to the relationship that our travel company has built with each hotel.
We had never used a travel agency before to help us but now will never travel without one.
Excellent; very well organized. Everything went as promised; certainly would recommend this Zicasso company. The trip plan provided offline was well done, including maps as needed.
Zicasso's travel specialist put so much attention to detail in our trip. The communication was over the top. She created a trip of a lifetime for us.
Everything from the hotels, drivers, ferries, tour guides, restaurants, flying dress photoshoot, and all of the people she connected us with were all first-class, professional, friendly, and it was obvious they had some background on our likings. This was the best trip I have ever been on because it was so well organized that it was seamlessly perfect in every way possible!
Our trip was fabulous, thanks to Zicasso's travel specialist and her company! All of our tours and both hotels were excellent. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more. Thank you!
Our travel company planned what can only be described as the adventure of a lifetime for us.
This trip was especially meaningful because we were celebrating our 10-year wedding anniversary, and from beginning to end, everything felt incredibly well thought out. We started in the Seychelles, where we had a few days to unwind before heading to Tanzania for an unforgettable safari through Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Northern Serengeti.
The safari was beyond anything we could have imagined. We saw elephants, lions, zebras, cheetahs, and both white and black rhinos, along with so much other incredible wildlife. Every location felt different, every camp was special in its own way, and the entire experience flowed seamlessly from one place to the next.
We finished our trip in Zanzibar, first exploring Stone Town and then spending our final days on the beautiful white-sand beaches. One of our favorite surprises came at the very end, when the team arranged an anniversary dinner for us through our hotel. After such an incredible journey, it was such a thoughtful and meaningful way to celebrate our anniversary and finish the trip.
A special thank you to Zicasso's travel specialist, who worked closely with us to make sure the trip was exactly what we wanted. She even checked in with us while we were on safari to make sure everything was going well, which says a lot about the level of care they put into their trips. We also want to thank the team for coordinating all of the logistics beforehand and making sure every reservation, transfer, and detail was taken care of before we left.
Planning a trip like this across multiple countries, safari camps, flights, transfers, and hotels could easily have felt overwhelming. Instead, we were able to simply enjoy the experience because our travel company had taken care of everything.
Ten years from now, we will still be talking about this trip. We cannot recommend our travel company highly enough, and we would absolutely work with them again for another African adventure.
We had a great trip. Our travel company was extremely helpful and responsive to our wants and needs both before and during our trip. We would recommend our travel company to others and would use them again for any future trips to Italy.
My wife and I had a blast on our European honeymoon because of the help of our travel company. They laid out our whole plan for us and if anything had gone off course, they did their best to accommodate. They also checked in regularly during our trip, which was very appreciated. We would definitely recommend, especially with the attention to detail for our 2.5-week-long trip.
Trip was amazing and Zicasso's travel specialist was fabulous. Expectations were high and all were exceeded. We gave very clear input as to what we were looking for and she nailed it!
They listened to what I wanted and tailored a trip that was perfect to what we hoped to see and do. The guides were super-friendly and knowledgeable. It was easy to communicate if there was any confusion or need to change plans. Everyone was prompt and made sure that we made it to all our connections with plenty of time.
This is our second trip to Italy with our travel company, and again, it was amazing! Zicasso’s travel specialist is by far the best tour operator we’ve ever worked with. She was always there when we needed her and her level of expertise is simply remarkable.
We highly recommend our travel company and will definitely use their services for our next trip to Italy.
Zicasso's travel specialist planned the perfect trip. Every detail was perfect!! I will be booking my trip to Italy in May using Zicasso. Thank you!!
Everything was well planned and organized.
Zicasso's travel specialist and everyone at our travel company we worked with are absolutely fantastic! Our specialist worked with me to put a marvelous itinerary together and it sure surpassed our expectations. The hotels they chose are stunning, as are the sites we saw. Our specialist really understood our travel preferences and helped customize an unforgettable trip.
Also have to mention our dedicated driver, who was with us the whole 11 days. He drove us extremely professionally and safely through the very chaotic Moroccan traffic. He was also available to us at any time we wanted to go somewhere in a place to explore. Our driver did something few people can accomplish: he made us feel like royalty and family at the same time.
Overall, our experience with our travel company was absolutely flawless.
We could not have been in better hands throughout our trip. Our guides were all wonderful and well informed. They were so welcoming and accommodating with our slow walking. We loved every minute and had such a great time. The team checked in with us to make sure we were doing OK.
Our accommodations were fabulous with wonderful views. Zicasso's travel specialist was super in planning our trip and making recommendations. The restaurants were top-notch. We especially loved one restaurant, where we felt like family. The food was excellent at all of them.
We asked if it would be possible to visit La Grande Brera on our own. No problem. Tickets were ordered for us and placed in our trip app. We so appreciated that assistance to make that possible.
Our trip to Scotland (and London) was absolutely amazing and it’s all because of Zicasso’s travel specialist. He took the time to listen to what we were looking for, made all of that happen, and his response time on everything was unbelievable. Every detail was perfect.
The guides that we had in Edinburgh and Inverness were just incredible. They both were a wealth of knowledge and extremely enjoyable to be with. There wasn’t enough time, as always, to see everything that we wanted to see.
We will definitely be getting in touch with our specialist again for our next trip to Scotland! Thanks again, Zicasso, for introducing us to a fabulous travel agent.
Zicasso's travel company was very organized in planning and execution. Everything went very smoothly considering the amount of logistics involved. All of the tour guides and transfers (and transfer tour guide combos) were first-class.
It was a wonderful trip and all of the planning we did with Zicasso’s travel specialist worked out well. Our specialist was very responsive when a few unexpected glitches did occur. I would highly recommend our travel company to others. I also liked knowing that Zicasso and its travel specialist were following along with us.
Our trip to France was fantastic! All the arrangements and details were spot on. Zicasso’s travel specialist provided support as needed throughout our journey. Her attention to detail for everything was great, as well as the pre-travel suggestions that she made. We highly recommend our specialist to anyone traveling to France.
Our travel company and Zicasso’s travel specialist were incredible to work with. Our specialist was helpful, detail-oriented, and answered all of our questions. She was always available and willing to help wherever and whenever needed.
Our dream honeymoon was brought to life, and our specialist and our travel company played a huge part in that. Would highly recommend!
The trip was excellent and our travel company was very supportive. The planning process went smoothly and they accommodated all of our requests. We stayed in touch by WhatsApp and they were almost immediately available to us to answer any questions we had.
The guides they assigned to us were very knowledgeable and friendly, and the hotel was exactly what we wanted, and frankly even better than we expected. Our day trip to a castle/winery was a highlight: the tour, the tastings, and the setting were all just perfect. Even our driver was an experienced sommelier who gave us some great insight about the wines. We would plan a trip with them again in a heartbeat.
Our trip to Iceland, featuring jaw-dropping sights like this massive glacier, was truly unforgettable! We saw incredible landscapes, ate incredible dishes, and met fantastic people along the way.
We did have a bit of a rocky start to our trip, but Zicasso's travel specialist and his team stepped up immediately. Our specialist worked quickly to rearrange our itinerary on the fly, turning things around seamlessly and ensuring our vacation got right back on track.
We are so grateful for their dedication to fixing the hiccup so smoothly. If you're looking for an agency that handles unexpected bumps with efficiency and keeps the adventure on course, our specialist is your guy!
It was a wonderful trip. Doing the three countries together was perfect as history ties them all together. Our trip was very well planned and Zicasso's travel specialist continually checked on us throughout the trip.
Everything went well. Our accommodations were good, all the guides were excellent.
Zicasso’s travel specialist was amazing! Right from the beginning, he listened to our requests and followed through with a fantastic agenda. Our specialist followed up with us throughout our visit in China and gave us a very memorable experience!
My wife and I absolutely loved our Africa trip and are so grateful to Zicasso for connecting us with our travel company. Zicasso's travel specialist was exceptionally thoughtful and attentive from the very beginning. She listened closely to our wishes, travel style, and interests, then developed an itinerary that felt truly tailored to us. Her guidance in choosing the right safari destinations was invaluable; they turned out to be exactly the right fit for the experience we hoped to have.
The preparation was equally impressive. Thorough pre-trip information and a detailed walkthrough made planning easy and helped us feel confident heading into our trip. Although the agency does not arrange international flights outside Africa, our specialist connected us with a company they work with, which made that part of the process easy as well.
Once we arrived, everything ran smoothly. A streamlined app kept our daily itinerary and important details readily accessible, and we had in-country contacts available around the clock if anything needed attention. That level of organization and support allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience.
The accommodations were incredible, and we especially appreciated the upgrades and thoughtful perks the agency arranged along the way. From hand-selecting wonderful guides in each location to securing reservations at exceptional restaurants, their attention to detail was evident throughout.
It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. We feel that both Zicasso and our travel company went above and beyond, and we would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Africa.
It was a pleasure to work with our Zicasso travel specialist, and all the personnel we worked with were friendly, professional, and on time, so we never had to wait.
This is the first time using Zicasso and we were very pleased. We had a very lovely time in France. Our travel specialist did a wonderful job arranging everything for us. I highly recommend her to anyone.
Our trip to Vienna and Austria was just what we had hoped. Our travel company worked with us to design the trip with excellent hotels, great restaurant recommendations, fun tour guides, and other special activities. All of it was organized through an app that had every piece of information we could need. It was thorough and easy to use.
With our one little hiccup (it was my fault), our travel company immediately got to work and helped us straighten it out. I would recommend them to anyone for future trips.
All hotels and tours and guides were great. Falconry was the highlight of our trip. Would have been fine with a smaller car. Thanks.
We truly had the trip of a lifetime, and we have our wonderful travel company to thank for it! They took the time to understand what would make the trip special for us and put so much thought and care into every detail. Everything was seamless, and we were able to relax and enjoy every moment.
We came home with memories we'll cherish for years to come. We're so grateful and can't wait to work with them again! We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to create a truly special and unforgettable trip.
Our trip turned out great. Zicasso's travel specialist was responsive to our requests around the pacing we were looking for and our guides and drivers were prompt, friendly, and helpful.
Dragan with Unlimited Croatia was fantastic!!
He took his time and listened to our thoughts and wishes.
Dragan put an extensive and well planned itinerary together.
Each and every detail worked out exactly on-time for the entire 15 days.
He reached out and checked on us many times, I believe he was doing the same behind the scenes.
We stopped in at least 20 locations and Croatia impressed us in each.
Stunning beauty and history!
The 5 different accommodations were each super special at each location.
Drivers, guides, staff everywhere we went were extremely polite, friendly and helpful.
They all played a part in my wife and I having an unforgettable Super Anniversary!
Thank you to all.
Zicasso and its travel specialist were a huge help to me to plan an unexpected vacation in Australia after my husband was sent there for six weeks for work, with only three weeks’ notice! I knew that I would be too overwhelmed trying to plan it myself (and quickly) while still trying to wrap my head around the fact that my husband was going to be gone from home for six weeks.
Our specialist was fantastic, and she and I really clicked, almost from the start. She really listened to what we wanted to do and when there were areas of the itinerary we wanted to change before finalizing. She was very communicative during the entire process and checked in several times during our vacation to send updates about various things or just to see how we were liking everything she had helped us plan.
From start to finish, the entire planning process through Zicasso and with our specialist was wonderful and easy. I would recommend both for anyone needing help with planning a trip.
Everything was seamless: hotels, transfers, assistance with baggage for trains, and private tours with exceptional guides. Zicasso's travel company provided excellent support and was very responsive. We would use them again without hesitation.
Zicasso’s travel specialist was fantastic. She listened to our preferences and met our requests. Her team kept us updated thoroughly and regularly throughout the process. I would highly recommend them to others.
My wife and I spent two weeks in Sicily and four more days in Rome. The trip was seamless: no glitches and no problems. Zicasso's travel specialist and others were promptly responsive, friendly, and cooperative. They made excellent suggestions and respected our preferences.
The transportation and the guides were all very good. The hotels were appropriate for our desires and budget. They provided wonderful sunset cruises in Palermo and Taormina, and they got us restaurant reservations for dinner each night at non-touristy places.
Surprisingly to us since we have been there before, Rome was especially enjoyable. The art in the Borghese Gallery and in the Pope's museum at the Vatican was overwhelming.
My wife and I have traveled extensively, particularly with agents obtained through Zicasso. They have all been good, and this one was one of the best. I can recommend our travel company without reservation.
Zicasso's travel specialist did an outstanding job of working with us to customize our trip to the wine country in South Africa, with two added safari nights. Our specialist was always in touch before and during the trip. No question or request went unanswered.
I cannot say enough good things about our trip and Zicasso's travel specialist! From top to bottom, every detail was perfectly planned out. I mean, every little detail. When I started thinking about this trip, I had a thousand questions and our specialist answered each and every one with kindness and patience.
We spent three weeks in Greece and Italy along with a cruise and were treated like royalty the entire time. We were picked up in beautiful cars, had guides who were extremely helpful and spoke English really well, and had friendly drivers who were prompt, professional, courteous, and more than willing to make sure we had a good time.
Our specialist even checked in on us when we started each new adventure. He wasn't invasive... just wanted to make sure things were going well, which we really appreciated. Our Italian help from the Italian travel agency did the same thing.
This was a trip that has been on our bucket list for a long time, so we wanted to make sure we had transportation lined up, hotels in nice areas, and guides who knew what they were doing, and our specialist made sure every box was checked. He even lined up people to walk us to places we wanted to go to in Venice, since there were no cars allowed on the island.
This trip was enjoyable because all the details were taken care of, and if we ever decide to go back to Europe, we wouldn't hesitate to reach out to our specialist again for assistance.
The planning and execution of our Iceland adventure was seamless, making for a memorable experience. Zicasso's travel specialist was wonderful.
Very enjoyable trip. Well planned and guided. Will definitely recommend to others.
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how wonderful our experience was! Zicasso’s travel specialist included all of the sites and activities we wanted and suggested others that enhanced the trip. Even though we were traveling to four different cities, the plan was perfectly coordinated to provide stress-free travel.
The agents, guides, and drivers were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and took excellent care of us. We would not hesitate to work with Zicasso's travel company again. They are a superb organization!
We can't say enough good things about the trip planned for us in Tuscany and Cinque Terre. It was the perfect balance of cultural (museums, artwork, architecture), historical (tours of towns, churches), food (culinary classes, olive oil mill, winemaking/vineyards), and outdoor activities (hiking, truffle hunting, sunset boating cruise). The uniqueness of some of the activities made this vacation one of the best European vacations we have ever experienced.
The guidance of Zicasso's travel specialists was so appreciated and was spot on for planning meals and when to leave open time. The guides and drivers they provided were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and very friendly. Even when we had major air travel issues getting to Italy, they immediately came to our rescue when we had to arrive in Florence instead of Pisa.
Also, all of the accommodations which they booked for us were comfortable, spacious, and within easy walking distance of local attractions. We highly recommend Zicasso. We are looking forward to being able to plan our next Italian adventure with them.
Our trip to Venice and Sorrento was planned through Zicasso, and Zicasso's travel specialist made all the difference. From the first conversation she listened to what I needed and how I wanted to experience Italy, and the itinerary she built reflected that. It didn't feel like a packaged tour. It felt like our trip.
The people we met along the way made it memorable. Our guides were knowledgeable, warm, and generous with their time. Our guide showed us Capri with real insight and personality, and our driver got us where we needed to go safely and comfortably while sharing local knowledge along the way. Every tour was personalized and informative, with the pace and focus matched to our interests rather than a standard script.
Two experiences stood out. The farm-to-table cooking class connected us directly to the food of the region, from ingredients grown on the farm to the meal on our table. At a local winery, we learned about the region's historic winemaking traditions and tasted wines with deep roots in the land. Both were hands-on, authentic, and exactly the kind of experience we hoped for.
What also stood out was the support throughout the trip. When problems or concerns came up, the Zicasso team was there to help us work through them quickly, so small issues never became big ones. Knowing someone had our back let us relax and enjoy Venice and Sorrento.
I'd recommend Zicasso, and our specialist in particular, to anyone who wants a trip to Italy built around how they actually want to travel.
Simply... a fantastic trip!
We had such an amazing experience working with Zicasso's travel specialists for our trip to Italy! From start to finish, everything was so well organized that my mom and I truly didn't have to worry about a thing. It made traveling to multiple cities in a foreign country feel incredibly easy and stress-free.
All of our transportation, hotels, tours, and activities were planned out beautifully, and everything went so smoothly. We absolutely loved the activities that were chosen for us and felt like we got to experience so much of Italy without ever feeling overwhelmed.
One of the best parts was simply being able to enjoy the trip together instead of constantly worrying about logistics, reservations, transportation, or what we were supposed to do next. We could just show up and enjoy ourselves!
This was such a special trip for my mom and me, and having everything taken care of made it even more memorable. I would absolutely recommend Zicasso to anyone planning a trip to Italy. We came home with so many wonderful memories and couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Zicasso's travel specialist planned an exceptional trip, with nice mix of activities. She was extremely responsive and communicative, and we especially appreciated the extra help she provided when our travel home was disrupted due to airport conditions. Fantastic all the way!
We had an amazing time, with only a couple of minor issues. We had one very unfriendly driver and on the sunset cruise, the boat captain brought us back into shore before sunset, so we didn't really have a sunset cruise. Other than that, it was spectacular.
Our 16-day trip through Venice, Florence, Tuscany, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, and Rome was outstanding in every detail. Every transfer ran on time, every guide was knowledgeable and warm, and every hotel was a great choice.
Our favorites were the private lagoon boat trip in Venice, the Brunello wine and cheese tour, the pasta class at a Tuscan farm, Pompeii, the Capri cruise, and the Vatican tour. We couldn’t have asked for better planning or support. We highly recommend Zicasso's travel company.
My wife and I took a 17-day trip to Greece. The team made our trip simply amazing and unforgettable. They were easy to work with in planning the trip and the whole experience was flawless. The itinerary was exactly like I requested.
The travel within Greece went extremely well and the tour guides were all highly professional. In addition, the accommodations that they chose were wonderful. Their planning had this trip exceed our expectations. Thank you!
The trip was amazing from beginning to end. Zicasso's travel specialist and the entire team were wonderful to work with and kept an eye on us the entire trip.
My overall comments include the following: Our travel specialist was exceptional in her assistance and planning, her responsiveness and willingness to follow through on all my requests and inquiries. She was fantastic and deserves a raise.
The company is incredible and as this is the first time I’ve used Zicasso, I can only say how impressed I am with the organization. The team is a class organization and I will definitely consider recommending them and Zicasso to anyone interested in a top-line vacation trip complete with all details carefully thought out. Thank you so much!
A+ in all aspects, including hotels, transportation, all logistics. Recommend to the highest degree without reservation.
Fantastic. We especially loved the personalized events. It was comforting having Zicasso's travel specialist available throughout our trip. Highest recommendation.
Zicasso planned our two-week trip to Sicily. We've traveled all over Italy and can attest that working with Zicasso guarantees wonderful experiences, knowledgeable guides, and personable drivers, with memorable service at our hotels.
Great trip: beautiful scenery, interesting architecture, and fantastic food. Zicasso's travel specialist put together a great trip. Organized, good guides, convenient hotels, and excellent communication. I would highly recommend her and this company.
Our trip was amazing thanks to the recommendations and itinerary from the team. Our travel specialist was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive during the entire process. The execution from drivers to guides went flawlessly.
Everyone was on time, nice, and provided a great and safe experience, especially all the guides. We would highly recommend Zicasso along with their partners for a trip to the Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria.
We had a wonderful time exploring Denmark and Norway. The entire trip was well organized and we still had adequate time to explore on our own. We enjoyed the tours and guides; specifically, our tour guide in Oslo was excellent, as well as the tour guide on Ærø Island.
The scenic boat ride on the canals was enjoyable, but the guide was not too knowledgeable about the area and history. We had a great balance of cities and countryside. The hotel locations were perfect and easy to find. Only, we may have preferred more boutique hotels. Our travel specialist was extremely responsive and available.
Beautiful country, friendly people, great food. Our Zicasso travel specialist was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and gave very good recommendations. We very much enjoyed our trip.
This was a fantastic experience! Shout-out to our wonderful travel specialist for crafting an amazing itinerary. We could only do eight days in Greece and our specialist provided wonderful recommendations. All the ferry rides, excursions, and travel outside of getting to and from Greece were provided.
In addition, the hotel selections were spectacular. Our hotels in Santorini and Mykonos both overlooked the Aegean Sea and the staff was absolutely wonderful. Our specialist was also super attentive to our requests mid-trip, which we were extremely grateful for. My favorite excursion was the catamaran/snorkeling/sunset cruise in the Aegean Sea. An incredible experience.
On the last leg of our trip to Athens we had ferry delays and hit traffic, but once again our specialist coordinated with our private guide at the Acropolis, who patiently waited for us and provided a wonderful tour. The last day in Athens we took a tour to the Temple of Poseidon. It was a longer than expected bus tour that took around six hours. In hindsight, we would probably have not chosen to do that; however, it is hard to complain as we had dinner watching the sunset over the ancient ruins.
We had a wonderful experience and truly appreciate Zicasso's wonderful team for making Greece a trip of a lifetime!
Working with our travel specialist to plan our trip was a pleasure; she shared additional recommendations throughout the process to ensure we finalized an exceptional itinerary that exceeded our wish list. The trip ran flawlessly, even though we visited multiple cities and locations.
Honestly hard to narrow down our favorite location, as each city or activity offered something different. Sydney is certainly very special, as was our Ghan train experience. But if we were to identify one highlight, it was our stay in Freycinet, Tasmania. The resort is spectacular, our villa spacious with incredible views across the bay and the staff amazing; nothing is too much trouble. The food at the resort is exceptional, each course with choices of Tasmanian wine.
We enjoyed all our experiences and activities throughout our trip, although strong winds when we took our helicopter flight out to a cay on the Great Barrier Reef meant we were unable to snorkel.
In summary, very impressed with Australia. Everything is clean, no graffiti (in any city we visited!) and everyone was so helpful and friendly. If we had one aspect we'd change, it would be to have added an additional day in Melbourne; it's a beautiful city with much to explore. Can't speak more highly of the team or our incredible trip.
Trip was well planned and hotels, staff, and guides were amazing.
Our trip to Scotland was superb and rates in the top three of all time (for me anyway). Everything went very smoothly with no hiccups, thanks to the team's adept planning and knowledge of the country. The staff are friendly, responsive, accommodating, and had everything we needed in place by the time we arrived, from the drivers to lodging and dinner reservations to tickets for the places and events we wanted to see.
This was a bespoke trip, not the canned variety you get from others. The drivers were great and are highly recommended if you are uncomfortable driving on the opposite side. The Highland scenery is spectacular and the people are wonderful. I could listen to their accents all day long!
I'll definitely go back and you can bet the first people I contact will be Zicasso!
Our travel specialist and his team were superb in every aspect of the trip planning and execution. First, our specialist is exceptionally knowledgeable. He knows Barcelona and the surrounding areas, and was able to make recommendations for the trip that allowed us to really experience the area as fully as possible within the eight days we were there.
Second, he responds quickly to communications, and always provides helpful information or suggestions. He makes it a policy to be available by text, email, or phone when he has clients on his trips. And indeed, since the Pope came to visit during our trip, and we were uncertain how it would affect our plans, we appreciated being able to reach him so easily.
Third, he really listened to our interests and needs, and customized the trip accordingly. We had some special requests and needs, and he incorporated those issues into the trip planning. He communicated with us throughout the planning process to discuss those requests and needs and how they fit into the plan for the trip.
Fourth, our specialist is a very kind and compassionate person. We needed to reschedule our trip at the last minute due to the serious illness of a family member. Our second attempt also led to a rescheduling due to my travel partner's back problems. Our specialist was patient and understanding. Fortunately, we made it to Barcelona on the third try! We are very grateful to him for his kindness throughout the process.
Fifth, the partners our specialist hired to serve as tour guides and so on were all excellent. He also timed things very well, such as on the day when we took trains to travel to Girona and Figueres. Everything proceeded perfectly, without a glitch. I cannot remember another trip that I took in which everything proceeded so perfectly. While things like the weather and lack of issues with the airlines were not under our specialist's control, everything that was under his control was also perfect. Thank you!
Zicasso's travel specialist took care of our every need and made the trip go incredibly smooth. They arranged some amazing experiences for us and made it the trip of a lifetime.
Double thumbs up!
Exceptional trip to Scotland! From the initial planning stages with the team to the actual trip guided by our expert, friendly, and entertaining driver, we couldn't be more pleased with our experience.
We will definitely be using Zicasso for our next Caledonian adventure. We couldn't recommend them more highly.
The Zicasso travel company did an excellent job arranging the hotels, tours, and transportation. The app was the best, with all the necessary information at my fingertips.
We had the best experience with Zicasso's travel company! We had never used a travel agent before but knew we wanted to book with one for our honeymoon to have the best trip possible. Our travel specialist set the bar very high for travel agents. She personally called us before sending us the initial itinerary to introduce herself and also ensure she understood exactly what we were looking for during our honeymoon.
She was so patient with us as we finalized the details of our trip. The whole experience felt customized to us. We even had to make a slight change of schedule due to some weather on our trip and our specialist made sure we adjusted the schedule so we could still have all the experiences in Greece we originally planned on.
Our specialist also books trips to Spain and Italy, and we will definitely be reaching back out to Zicasso when we are ready to travel there. We don’t have enough good things to say about our specialist. Book your trip now with Zicasso!
I don't even know where to begin. Our trip was so awesome. Our travel specialist was so easy to work with and answered all of our questions promptly. The timeline for all of our adventures and drivers were all perfect and on time.
I have already given friends our specialist's info because of all of the positive things I have shared with them. What a wonderful and memorable time well spent in Greece. Thank you so much!
Overall, the trip to the Dolomites and Austria was amazing. The team provided fantastic support before and during the trip. Communications were timely, accurate, and concise. There was never a time where we didn't feel supported or were unsure about trip details.
Hotels were top-notch and all in good locations. I will definitely use Zicasso again if the opportunity presents itself.
My trip to Croatia was terrific. Our travel agent did an excellent job listening to our requirements. It was not a "one-size-fits-all." We were pleased with the attention to detail.
Everything from the drivers (and their knowledge and history) to the walking tours and cooking class were perfect. We will definitely use Zicasso again.
We loved the hotel at Capo Vaticano! Beautiful view, dinner menu changed every night, violin player on the lawn. Incredible. Hotel in Lecce was very nice. Large rooms, terrace bar was pricey and lots of good restaurants nearby.
Our stay at the resort was our least favorite. The public areas were lovely; however, the deluxe rooms were very small and the dinner menu never changed and the dinner meals were not that great. The staff were all very helpful. This resort needs a remodel and redo of furniture and decor.
Excellent!
Our Zicasso travel specialist created an outstanding trip plan! Accommodations and excursions were excellent and hit the mark for our group. The communication and support that the team provided were excellent as well.
Zicasso's travel specialist did a fabulous job planning and executing our trip. She was thorough with details and wonderful at communicatimg with us.
I had reached out to Zicasso to help arrange an island-hopping trip in Greece. We were paired with a travel specialist who helped us design our trip. Later, we then also worked with other members of the team who also were amazing to work with.
Everything that was planned for us went completely as planned and their services were amazing.
Our travel specialist was amazing to work with. We have only positive things to say. The trip was perfectly orchestrated with fantastic guides and memorable experiences. We found this vacation to be totally relaxing, knowing that every detail was taken care of for us!
Our specialist’s quick responses and the thoughtful perks, such as a surprise cake at our anniversary dinner and a bottle of wine and olive oil after our bike ride, to name a few, were much appreciated. We would strongly recommend our specialist to anyone traveling to Croatia.
Amazing trip. Great service by the Zicasso travel company's team. They definitely exceeded expectations.
Our trip to Ireland was wonderful. Zicasso's travel specialist put together a great itinerary and all of the arrangements clicked. The accommodations were top-notch and the tours were excellent.
The accommodations were excellent and well located. The drivers were excellent and knowledgeable about the region's culture and history. The tours were also very good and always on time.
We were given ample opportunity to review and modify, if necessary, all activities prior to setting the itinerary. Transportation between stays was seamless, as was check-in at the accommodations.
Zicasso's travel specialist organized another flawless trip. Her suggestions are excellent and she is always so helpful. Highly recommended.
Our travel specialist did an amazing job with the trip to Italy. Not only did she pick great activities, but she really took into consideration the needs of my parents, who may not get around as well.
All of the drivers and tours were prompt and private and made us feel like family. I would recommend them to anyone traveling to Italy!
The trip was exceptional. It met all my expectations and more. I was fortunate enough to see every animal that I wanted to, never tiring of the incredible expeditions that were planned for me.
I was a solo traveler, and never felt lonely. Not for one minute. I highly recommend Zicasso's travel company.
Our travel specialist was remarkable. She planned a perfect trip for us. Most importantly, not a detail was overlooked and everything went smoothly.
There were many moving parts in our itinerary and every single person showed up on time, friendly and ready to get us where we needed to be.
Zicasso's travel specialist planned and executed a flawless trip. In the time we had, we felt we saw the real Icelandic life and amazing natural beauty.
We had a truly memorable time in Greece. Our travel specialist was readily available every step of the way, extremely responsive, accommodating, and thoughtful in her communication.
She curated experiences that perfectly matched our interests, and every transfer and hotel stay was seamless. We couldn't have asked for better support, and we will gladly recommend her to friends planning a trip to Greece.
The first half of the trip was absolutely beautiful and seamless. They took care of everything and the tours were fantastic.
Even more impressive was how they handled things when my husband was injured in a freak accident. We never could have navigated that without their help and they went above and beyond what was required to make a bad situation bearable. Thank you to the whole team!
The planning was on target and we really appreciated the focus on seeing great sites with limited crowds. Our Zicasso travel specialist and his company did a great job!
Great trip to Bhutan. Zicasso's travel company provided a great itinerary. We had an amazing and knowledgeable guide, and very capable driver. All made for a wonderful trip to beautiful Bhutan.
Zicasso's travel specialist was great. Listened to our goals... put together a great itinerary.
Our guides and drivers were all great. All connections went smoothly.
We had a great time!
Thanks.
The recommended excursions and private guides that accompanied them were excellent. Excellent organizational planning and travel logistics by Zicasso's travel company. Destination book is an extremely valuable tool for organizing, managing, and storing travel docs, tickets, passes, map directions, and contact information. It really made things easy!
The hotel selections were very good and well located. We would have preferred a slightly larger room in Vienna and Luzern; however, they were clean and efficient, with excellent staff. The dinner suggestions that we did follow were very good.
Our travel specialist was great to work with, had it dialed in. We look forward to working with the travel companty's team for our next trip to northern Europe.
Thank you.
The trip was fabulously planned by Zicasso's travel specialist. It exceeded our expectations.
Drivers and guides were top-notch!! On time and very pleasant. The hotel accommodations were excellent and well located for excursions and activities. Our Zicasso contact was very helpful when questions arose. All in all, it was a well-planned and unforgettable trip! Thanks to all!
Our group of 12 recently completed an unforgettable nine-day customized tour of Germany, staying in three cities and covering seven different cities, and we highly recommend this Zicasso travel company. From the initial planning stages to our final day, the trip was amazing, filled with all the adventures we asked for and much more.
What made the trip exceptional was the company owner accompanied us throughout the entire journey. Having him there as our personal tour director, translator, concierge, and new friend, ensured that everything ran like clockwork. The transfers were seamless, the private driver was excellent, and the local guides arranged for us in each city were incredibly knowledgeable and engaging.
If you are looking for a high-end, stress-free, and deeply personalized travel experience, look no further. Thank you for an incredible nine days!
Comments from fellow travelers:
"The company owner was very personable and knowledgeable, and each day was a great experience. What a wonderful trip.” Fondly, Teri K.
“The wine tour was our favorite as the wine was delicious and the winery owner most pleasant. His wine is so successful he has a vending machine of his wines on the road! There is no place in America that has this! Our tour guide, the owner of the travel company, was able to translate some of the conversation, which was most helpful. I highly recommend touring this winery and booking your travels through this company.” Jenny and Dennis W.
“We really enjoyed the miniature museum in Hamburg, especially the behind-the-scenes tour! The best hotel was in Berlin. All the guides were personable, knowledgeable, and good to answer questions. Thanks! We had a wonderful trip with you all!” Pam and Kevin S.
“We appreciated the company owner being there every step of the way. Coordinating the tour guides in the cities and helping to interpret when needed at the wine tasting.” Wendy and Larry A.
“Yes! We loved the hotel and dinner for our anniversary! Also appreciated the shift to the winery since the river cruise was cut short, and that he made the reservation for the brewery, with the hotel being so busy.” Dan and Kathy M.
“I had a wonderful time. Let’s do it again.” Robert K.
We had a fantastic trip through Croatia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, traveling from Dubrovnik to Hvar, Split, Plitvice Lakes, Rovinj, and Ljubljana, with day trips into Montenegro and other parts of Slovenia along the way.
Zicasso's travel company did an amazing job of helping us create the trip we wanted. From the beginning, they listened to our ideas, made suggestions, and worked with us as our plans evolved. Our travel specialist got everything started, another helped us fine-tune the itinerary and make several changes, and the third was always quick to respond and help while we were traveling.
Everything was seamlessly coordinated. We loved the hotels and excursions they selected, and the private drivers and tour guides added so much to the experience. Just as important was knowing that the company was only a message away if we had a question or needed anything while traveling. That kind of support gave us peace of mind and allowed us to simply enjoy the trip.
I’ve already recommended Zicasso and this travel company to others and will absolutely look to Zicasso when we’re ready to plan our next adventure.
Our trip was wonderful. Our Zicasso travel assistant was great. Helped me plan the perfect itinerary for what I wanted to do. Very good at responding to questions. Even helped with some issues while on the trip and helped us resolve them quickly. I would highly recommend him and the organization to anyone.
Our Zicasso travel specialist put together the perfect itinerary for our two-week trip to Croatia.
From our arrival in Zagreb to our visits to Rovinj, Plitvice National Park, Split, Hvar and Dubrovnik, we enjoyed our knowledgeable guides and drivers, and the special places we visited. These places included the Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, the cooking class and private lunch in Hvar, the oyster and mussel farm, and the Elafiti Islands.
We also appreciated that we had the opportunity to meet our travel specialist, who graciously gifted us a delicious bottle of Croatian wine.
Zicasso's travel specialist was wonderful to work with! She prepared a great itinerary within our budget. She has a keen attention to detail; everything went flawlessly! The guides were superb. We had a wonderful trip to Milan and Lake Como!
Our Zicasso travel agent was very warm and helpful. She truly listened to what we were looking for and surpassed our expectations. Her team of support was extremely helpful throughout our trip. They checked in daily to ensure things were going smoothly and booked a couple of evening activities we decided to add. We felt pampered and could not be happier. We highly recommend our travel company.
All aspects of our trip would be rated first class. Our initial interaction with the Zicasso company was prompt, informative, relatable, and overall excellent. Our representative was extremely knowledgeable on every level and his awareness of our wants and needs exceeded our expectations!
Working with Zicasso's travel specialist was the most wonderful and rewarding experience of all the trips that I have created for travel partners of mine. I do this for the benefit of friends and some, and I don’t get paid, so I really need someone to take my vision and foster it. The travel specialist not only did that, but she went above and beyond in so many ways that we’ve never had with a travel agent before.
Our Zicasso travel agent managed our transportation from the airport, our hotel arrangements, and provided us several tours before we embarked on a cruise. The guides were exceptional and it was a pleasure to have a guide to ourselves. Each one managed our pace, questions and interests. The customer service provided on this trip was exceptional from the agent.
Zicasso's travel specialist was incredibly attentive to every detail, resulting in a "glitch-free" experience of Norway's beauty and culture.
I would highly recommend our travel specialist and her team. Our itinerary and every aspect associated with it were excellent.
Zicasso's travel specialist was wonderful to work with. She was quick to respond and very helpful answering questions and making suggestions for our itinerary. I would highly recommend her and her agency to anyone traveling to Croatia and/or the surrounding countries. We had a great trip.
Zicasso's travel company did a fabulous job. Everything was coordinated well and the guides were knowledgeable. Just a perfect trip. Our time was utilized really well. We got to do and see so much. Plan a trip back. Will call the travel company and our specialist.
Zicasso's travel company planned our entire trip to Greece from start to finish. We appreciate all of the planning and details that went into it.
There was only one glitch and that was a bad view of our room in Santorini, but we were able to switch to another the next night. Our agent was extremely responsive to our needs.
We absolutely loved everything about our trip! The Zicasso travel company was wonderful to work with. They listened to what we wanted, were very attentive to our preferences, and stayed on top of our movements throughout the entire trip. Everything felt organized and seamless, which allowed us to relax and truly enjoy the experience. We would definitely recommend them and would use them for future travel!
My husband and I had a wonderful week touring central and northern Portugal with this Zicasso travel company. The itinerary developed by our travel specialist was excellent, as were the hotels she selected.
Above all, we appreciated our driver. He was kind, patient, and full of knowledge. He guided us through many sites and provided a history of each place we visited. He answered all our questions. We would never have had the depth of understanding on our own. He was also flexible if we needed to make changes and had the patience of Job driving through the busy streets of Lisbon and Porto, and through winding roads of the medieval towns... again, something we could not have done on our own.
Our entire trip was very personalized to our interests. We have already recommended the travel company to our friends. We look forward to coming back because we had such a beautiful trip.
Zicasso's travel specialist was very easy to work with. Had good communication and suggestions for activities and restaurants. They worked with me to tailor the trip to our needs and perfect wish list. All of the tours and guides were wonderful.
The overall experience was exceptional. Zicasso's travel specialists helped plan the perfect vacation to Italy and the support from the travel specialist in Italy was outstanding. The logistical support was seamless and the drivers, as well as the personal tour guides, were knowledgeable and talented. We could not have dreamed of a better vacation. Kudos to all those involved in our journey.
I would give it six stars if I could. Great plan. The Zicasso travel specialists were right there every step of the way if we had questions. They solved any problem that came up promptly. The plan and the hotels and settings were above expectations.
The trip was great in all regards. Zicasso's travel specialist was terrific to work with. She understood exactly what we were looking for and put together a great itinerary, with great hotels and tours.
Zicasso's travel specialists organized an unforgettable Northeast African safari. Our agent and her team meticulously crafted our itinerary, ensuring it aligned perfectly with our interests. The entire trip was seamlessly organized, with each stop providing a unique experience.
The camps and lodges we stayed in were exceptional. The food, accommodations, staff, and guides were all outstanding. The balloon ride along the Mara River in the Serengeti, canoe safari on Lake Manyara, and walking safari at a couple of our stops, in addition to the private game drives, added to the overall experience. The views from our rooms were breathtaking.
While we encountered an unfortunate event at the airport that wasn’t the agency’s fault, our agent's team was available via the emergency line and provided assistance.
Her expertise and attention to detail made our safari truly memorable. We wouldn’t have been able to arrange such a phenomenal trip without her assistance. We highly recommend our travel company for anyone seeking an incredible African safari experience.
We had an amazing trip! We loved the itinerary and everything went very smoothly. The Zicasso travel team was readily available on WhatsApp for any questions or clarifications.
We had an amazing honeymoon and everything was seamless from start to finish. Zicasso's travel company listened to our requests and delivered! We did not want to leave Italy and would definitely use them again.
We travel a lot and have done some wonderful trips, curated by some exceptional tour operators. This travel company surpassed them all.
The Zicasso travel specialist who put together our trip really captured what we wanted. She put together exactly the type of experience that we were looking for. Each and every day unfolded a new adventure that we loved. The trip was truly a magical journey that we will never forget.
Every hotel was special and we always had the best room in the house. The private tours were all excellent. Every tour was a genuine and unique experience that connected us with the local culture and people. If that is important to you, no company does it better than this one.
What enriched our experiences the most were the wonderful people that the company selected as our guides. All of them were super-nice, very knowledgable and, best of all, warm and caring people who we bonded with. In many cases the tours ran way over the scheduled time because we and the tour operators became friends and engaged in interesting conversations.
The service that we received from the staff was excellent. Before the trip, our travel specialist worked with us to make sure that every detail was perfect. During the trip, the instantaneous and super-friendly 24/7 support was beyond outstanding.
I could go on and on, but I will summarize by saying that the staff at this travel company are absolutely passionate about what they do and they truly care about ensuring that their clients' trips are exceptional, culturally enriching, and unforgettable.
On our last night, our travel specialists joined us for dinner in Athens and we had the privilege of having a wonderful time with two of the "superstars" of the company.
Overall, our trip was wonderful. Well planned and executed.
All of our travel connections went smoothly.
The accommodations in Dubrovnik and Split were lovely… Hvar was fine, great views and breakfast, but the hotel was not quite as nice (but we booked late and there weren’t many options).
Your guides in Dubrovnik and Split were fantastic… the boat and captain in Hvar were the trip highlight!
Only suggestions for improvement would be too much time scheduled for day trips to Ston (really only takes less than an hour to walk around and see the sights) and the Krka park walk to see the waterfalls is easily accomplished in an hour… also suggest you have travelers eat in Skradin as the park food is very limited and there is nothing to eat at the Lozovac entrance.
They have a great team taking care of all your needs throughout the entire trip! Super-helpful and extremely professional! I would never have been able to have this trip without Zicasso's travel specialists!
We couldn't have been happier with Zicasso's travel specialist and her company. The planning process was easy; she had great tips and suggestions; she planned wonderful experiences in line with our preferences; the hotel choices were spot-on; and, best of all, was the level of communication and support throughout our trip. She was in daily contact checking in, updating us with information on drivers and guides, providing restaurant recommendations, and making small adjustments that we requested. She was incredibly responsive and a total pleasure to work with.
Zicasso's travel specialists were very responsive to all questions during and prior to the trip. Had a wonderful time with the experience and the quality of the hotels. The Santorini hotel was exceptional. All transfers and travel during the trip were reliable and made our trip carefree. Would definitely recommend this travel service to others.
Process was smooth and I felt taken care of my entire trip! The tours were all so high quality. Would definitely recommend Zicasso's travel specialist.
Portugal and Spain were very well put together and assembled. Zicasso's travel company handled that part and handled it quite well. However, they partnered with a French company for the Paris portion and that experience was less satisfactory. Everything in Paris seemed quite pedestrian, whereas Portugal and Spain were first class.
Our only other impediment to a shining recommendation was the cost. They would not provide an itemized listing of costs, citing standard industry procedure. They said they only got paid a 10% commission, but when we assembled the costs of all the items they arranged, we had a hard time getting anywhere close to the total amount they charged. Not being willing to itemize their expenditures seemed like they were hiding being paid more than the 10% they claimed. Back of the napkin, we were getting something closer to 40-50%.
Overall, however, the trip was fantastic and but for the fee disclosure, our travel specialist was very helpful, available, and forthcoming.
Excellent communication. Seamless connections and tours. Great location choices, with very good activities planned, yet not overly busy. Good recommendations for free days. Fair to superior tour guides. Great ability to make adjustments, especially when our plane left without us and we were a day late. They handled everything flawlessly.
Zicasso's travel specialist was fantastic in helping with the plan and being available throughout our journey.
Everyone associated with our trip did a great job! It was seamless. All the drivers were wonderful and engaging. Questions and concerns were answered promptly and thoroughly. We loved working with our travel specialist She totally understood our travel style and planned everything with that in mind. Thank you, Zicasso and our travel company! Highly recommend.
Zicasso's travel company did an outstanding job of making this trip a memorable one for us. Our specialist's planning and attention to detail made for seamless travel between countries. We would highly recommend her to anyone traveling to Scandinavia.
Zicasso's travel company was beyond exceptional in the planning and execution of our customized 12-day trip to Rome, Sorrento, Florence, and Tuscany. From the creation of our initial itinerary through the entirety of our travels, they were extremely thoughtful and delivered incredible client service. Every activity, tour, driver, tasting, hotel, etc., planned by the team was amazing. We highly recommend the company to anyone interested in elevating their travel experience in Italy.
We had a great time, everything ran smoothly, only one driver was delayed for picking us up, but everyone else was on time.
The only issues:
The family cooking class: we only really made bread, which was fun, but we expected to help more in the cooking process.
The hotel has a beautiful view, but they have terrible signage on where you are versus where you would like to go. Got lost several time, as did other guests. Not sure how much more the hotel just outside of the castle wall would have cost, but it is a much better location for the city. Plus the information from checking in was very vague, so we wandered around the floors more than we should have. They also failed to mention that the shopping district was best accessed via the promenade versus city streets and huge stairs. But beautiful view.
Everything else was great, timely, and as expected.
My group of eight (four couples, all friends) had a great trip of a lifetime in Portugal! The travel company was absolutely amazing! From start to finish their very quick communication and attention to all the details was perfect.
We loved their travel app that kept us up to date on all of the day-to-day details. They were so helpful at every stage and it was a wonderful surprise to have them greet us at the airport and on our last day in Lisbon.
From the moment we spoke to Zicasso's travel specialist, we knew she would help us plan the perfect trip. She listened to what we were interested in doing, sent us at least five itineraries, and helped us narrow down what we wanted. Everything was perfect!
Our drivers and guides were knowledgeable, friendly, punctual, and interesting. Our guides made the trip very interesting and fun. The hotels were situated in ideal locations.
I would definitely recommend your travel company to anyone who is planning a trip to Italy and wants private guides along the way.
Zicasso's travel specialist was amazing. The entire trip was well planned. He communicated every day about our activities so we knew the next day's itinerary. He was amazing and we would highly recommend using him when planning any trip to Greece. He is very passionate about his work, and it is very obvious that he loves his work. If we could give him 10 stars, we would.
All events that were planned happened without a hitch, and the suggestions for sights to see on our own were spot-on. Drivers arrived right on time and were professional and courteous. We were very pleased and can recommend Zicasso to anyone looking for a well-planned and customized trip to London.
Zicasso's travel specialist was a pleasure to work with and was able to translate our travel plans into a very enriching experience. He anticipated problems and solved them in advance, and offered spot-on, recent recommendations for hotels and activities, which were extremely useful since we had not previously been to the areas we were visiting. This is our second experience with Zicasso and we have been very pleased with the results. Thanks!
Zicasso's planned a wonderful Greek island honeymoon and sailboat charter for us that I am still dreaming about. Everything was top-notch and truly unforgettable. I highly recommend working with this travel company for an exceptional experience.
We arrived home safe and sound after our wonderful trip, thanks in great part to our Zicasso travel specialist's thoughtful recommendations and seamless orchestration. We have multiple photos of our great experiences and will hold our memories close to our hearts.
We had a wonderful vacation. Zicasso's travel specialist set everything up perfectly and her colleague was super-responsive whenever we had a question. I would recommend this company to anyone traveling to Italy. They gave us the trip of a lifetime!
Zicasso's travel specialist and her team were outstanding. Attention to detail, listening to our wants, and creating a custom itinerary. Even when our international flight was canceled less than 24 hours before the flight, she handled the itinerary changes calmly and with patience
Really nice trip. Zicasso's travel specialists paid attention to our specific preferences and the hotels were lovely.
A five-star experience in every way! Zicasso's travel specialist and her team on every island were there for us every step of the way (and there are a lot of steps in Greece! LOL). The accommodations, drivers, guides, and excursion companies were all top-notch. The itinerary they put together for us was everything we wanted for our trip to Greece. Amazing.
We had a fantastic trip, all thanks to our travel specialist. We spent a few days in Siena, touring different Tuscan towns like Montepulciano, Pienza, and San Gimignano, and then we spent a couple of nights in Florence. All of our drivers and guides were very thoughtful that we had my two-year-old nephew with us.
Excellent recommendations and access to quality hotels and inns.
Zicasso's tour company planned a trip perfectly aligned with our interests. Throughout the trip, they were with us, easily available to offer restaurant suggestions, make reservations, and answer questions. I highly recommend them.
A huge thank you to our Zicasso travel specialist for the amazing trip we just had to Puglia and Calabria and all the towns in between! We had the most amazing time. Thank you for taking the time to listen to what we were looking for, budget-wise and activity-wise; you really nailed it! I am so sad it is all over! It was a trip we have been talking about for over a year and, thanks to you, it all happened!
Our travel specialist even helped us plan a baptism for my baby niece while we were there, which was a beautiful ceremony in a stunning cathedral in Monopoli.
Thank you again for everything! It was truly a trip of a lifetime and so many wonderful memories! I am missing the food, gelato, beautiful views, and Italian lifestyle!
I hope we can plan a future trip with you.
Fabulous trip! Our Zicasso travel specialist took the time to understand our interests and travel style and created a wonderful, personalized itinerary.
We enjoyed the beautiful hotels with fabulous views, as well as the excellent tours and guides selected by another specialist, who was also our guide for one of the days. She chose experiences that beautifully blended history, Sicilian culture, architecture, and food.
Our drivers were excellent, especially one who provided outstanding service throughout our trip. We also appreciated the help desk’s daily updates, which kept us prepared for each day’s plans.
When our flight home was unexpectedly canceled due to the eruption of Mt. Etna, the help desk quickly orchestrated a new plan for the following day, arranging transportation to another city, a hotel for the night, and transportation to the airport for our flight home. A special thank you to the help desk member who was incredibly responsive and reassuring and made a very stressful situation so much easier for us.
We are so grateful to the entire team for making our Sicily trip so special!
We had a wonderful experience working with our Zicasso travel agent for our trip to Portugal. From the beginning, everything was thoughtfully planned and organized, which allowed us to really enjoy the trip instead of worrying about all the little details.
Our itinerary was very well balanced. We were able to experience Lisbon, the beautiful Douro Valley and Pinhão, Sintra, and Cascais, and each destination felt different and special. We especially appreciated that the trip included organized experiences and enough free time for us to explore on our own.
The hotels, transportation, tours, and other arrangements worked together very smoothly, and we felt that a lot of thought had gone into creating an itinerary that made sense geographically and gave us a good variety of experiences. When we had questions or needed clarification before or during the trip, our agent was helpful and responsive.
This was our first trip to Portugal and it ended up being one of those vacations that we will remember for a very long time. We came home with so many great memories, from the food and wine to the scenery, history, and wonderful places we visited.
We truly appreciate all the work that went into planning our vacation and would definitely recommend our agent to anyone considering a trip to Portugal or Europe. Thank you for helping make our Portugal trip such a memorable experience!
Zicasso's travel specialist was great to work with and she designed the ideal trip for us. It had a balance of history, beaches, forests, and wine tasting. We couldn’t have been happier with our experiences and would recommend both travel specialists without hesitation.
There are not enough superlatives to describe our experience with Zicasso’s travel agency. From the perfect itinerary that checked every box that we asked be included in our trip to the absolutely seamless stress-free transfers and personalized service we received on every step, our travel specialist made it all happen.
Just as an example of the exceptional quality of the service we received, I was feeling under the weather one day and, when our guide apparently advised our specialist, I received a text from her asking if there was anything she could do to help and wishing me well. I felt like I had a guardian angel ensuring that all was going well. If you are considering a trip to Croatia, I highly recommend Zicasso.
The trip was exactly what I wanted it to be. We go to see things and do things and relax and enjoy the culture. Zicasso's travel specialist was wonderful and handled an issue quickly when it arose.
Incredible trip, very well-organized, curated to our interests.
Excellent communication before and during trip from Zicasso's tour company. Even helped when medical situation arose. Excellent guides for city tours and outdoor adventures. Excellent hotels. All transfers were smooth and easy. Appreciated flexibility in the planning process. It was an amazing trip and we have only good things to say about it!
The hotel and tour arrangements were extraordinary. I have taken many group tours and this exceeded them all. Perfect pacing!! Wonderful tour guides and fascinating tours. Everything went perfectly!
Seamless from start to finish. Superb driver, wonderful guides, over-the-top accommodation.
Our trip to France was truly exceptional, and we are very grateful for the care and expertise that went into planning it. The itinerary, accommodations, excursions, and overall logistics were thoughtfully organized, allowing us to enjoy the trip without having to worry about the details.
What stood out most was the Zicasso travel company’s responsiveness when unexpected issues arose. Immigration in Brussels was significantly backed up, causing us to miss our scheduled train. The team responded quickly and efficiently, arranging new tickets for a later departure so we could continue our trip with minimal stress or disruption.
We also had one tour guide at the beginning of the trip who did not meet the quality or professionalism we expected. After we shared our feedback, the company took our concern seriously and promptly issued a credit for that tour. We greatly appreciated that they listened, acted fairly, and stood behind the quality of the experiences they arranged.
Overall, the trip was amazing. The service, attention to detail, and willingness to resolve problems quickly gave us confidence throughout the journey. We would absolutely recommend this travel company to others and would be happy to use them again for future trips.
We had a wonderful time in Scotland. We had one major blip regarding a scotch tasting on Islay, but this was resolved before we departed the United States. Our travel specialist was especially responsive! I grew to really love the trip app.
Our private guides and drivers were excellent. And our choices for hotels were superb! The Scottish landscape is breathtaking and the populace is among the nicest people on the planet.
I would like to thank Zicasso's travel specialists for making this trip so special, especially for my husband.
The trip was perfect. From hotel to transfers to restaurant recommendations. everything was seamless. the guides were very informative, and the excursions Zicasso's travel specialists planned for us were fantastic. A wonderful adventure from start to finish.
We had a wonderful experience working with Zicasso's travel specialist. He was easy to work with, really listened to what we wanted, and made excellent suggestions when needed. The tour guides and private drivers they arranged were incredible and truly enhanced our trip. Everything was thoughtfully planned and seamless. We would highly recommend them!
We would highly recommend using this Zicasso travel agency when planning a trip to Greece and its islands. All transfers, ferry tickets, and airplane transfers in Greece were handled seamlessly. Loved the trip and all of the planning and organization that the company provided.
It would have been very difficult to plan this all out on our own and we saw things we never would have seen if we planned it ourselves. We highly recommend our travel company for planning a trip to Greece and its islands!!!
It was excellent. Every detail was precise and executed flawlessly. Great communication throughout trip from Zicasso's travel company.
Zicasso's travel specialist was extremely responsive to questions and suggestions, and planned a trip that was exactly what we hoped it would be! We will definitely use her again for our travels.
I can’t say enough great things about Zicasso's travel specialist. She did a fabulous job planning our trip to Greece. I roughly sketched out what we wanted to do, splitting our time between Athens, Milos, and Santorini, and she designed the perfect itinerary. The execution was flawless. Every vendor was punctual. The tour guides were super-friendly and expert on their topics. The hotel selections were all excellent. When we were leaving Athens for Milos, our specialist made a personal trip to our hotel to say goodbye. It was a lovely touch. Thank you so much!
Excellent.
The trip to Turkey met my expectations and went above in many regards. The Zicasso companies outside and inside the country were attentive to my questions and needs.
Our trip was excellent from start to finish. Zicasso recommended our travel company. Our travel specialist was great. She not only enabled us to work with her in planning the trip, but was in contact with us throughout our days in Scandinavia.
Zicasso's travel company is phenomenal! I am so pleased with how our trip turned out. Our specialist and team were very responsive in a timely manner. The trip was carefully curated and was the difference in making our experience a dream. All the details were covered: seamless transportation between train to private driver to next destination. It made for a very relaxing experience where we could really focus on being present and enjoying the surroundings of our environment.
The trip was amazing! The planning could not have been better. We experienced so much in a two-week period without feeling rushed or stressed. It was fantastic!
We had a dream trip to Italy thanks to our Zicasso travel agent. The accommodations, the tours and tour guides, the drivers, and the recommended restaurants were all exceptional, which made our journey through northern Italy one of our most memorable!
Zicasso's travel company created an excellent itinerary, covering everything we had wanted for a first-time Portugal traveler. Their activities and guides were among the best we had ever experienced.
We highly recommend our Zicasso travel specialist and his team! We would not hesitate to use his company again.
Their attention to detail ensured that we had a wonderful experience touring Portugal. The tour guides were native to the regions we visited, sharing local knowledge and insights that typical tourists might not otherwise discover.
The company selected beautiful hotels in locations that allowed us to continue exploring and experiencing each city even after our scheduled tours had ended. Communication with our travel specialist and the company's team was excellent throughout the planning process and continued to be exceptional during our time in Portugal.
The company also provided us with detailed, written itineraries outlining everything we needed to know, making our trip easy, organized, and enjoyable.
If you are thinking about visiting Portugal, contact them! We hope you have the opportunity to visit Portugal and experience it with this company as your guide!
We had a wonderful time in the Yorkshire Dales and in the Lake District, hiking in your beautiful country!
I have been home less than 24 hours and am already ready to give this Zicasso company a five-star rating! My 12-day, 11-night tour was amazing and so well thought out as far as what I was interested in seeing. The travel specialist did a fabulous job organizing our drivers and our tours. The communication was excellent, as was the support we received throughout our tour. A dream vacation for sure!
Our trip to Greece was amazing! We were able to do and see everything we wanted. The travel agency listened to our interests and created an itinerary that was just what we were looking for. Everything was planned perfectly and to top standards and quality. Communication was easy, and they were available if needed. Our trip far exceeded our expectations and it was only because of the expertise and local knowledge of Zicasso's tour company.
Zicasso's travel specialist put together a wonderful itinerary for our trip to Copenhagen and Norway. All our flights, transfers, and tours/activities went smoothly. We would definitely use her for future travels.
Zicasso's travel specialist was wonderful about listening to everything that my daughter and I wanted to experience when we visited Spain for our first time. She gave us an amazing itinerary that all of our guides made come true. We got to enjoy delicious foods and exciting architecture and art while celebrating the history and flavors of the culture.
Zicasso's travel specialist planned such a wonderful trip! Everything was perfect! We loved all our guides. They were so knowledgeable and kind. They made each place come alive. The restaurants were wonderful! Every recommendation she made was exceptional. The drivers were wonderful. This truly was a trip of a lifetime.
Merci.
Our travel team delivers on their promise of a tailor-made luxury trip of a lifetime with personalized service every step of the journey. My travel specialist worked with me via multiple phone calls and messages to plan a Portugal experience that exceeded our expectations!
Our local coordinator's logistics were top-notch and his communication was excellent with every detail planned and communicated each day. In a couple of instances where things did not go according to plan (a weather cancellation and a mixed-up hotel clerk), he was there immediately to resolve the problem. And he did, very quickly and to our great satisfaction.
Both of them were warm, personal, and interested in our experiences and making sure all of our travel wants and needs were met. Truly extraordinary!
We've been using Zicasso to find the perfect regional travel consultant experts for almost 20 years. I can't remember the last time we traveled outside the US, aside from Canada, without using this invaluable service! Everywhere we travel, we sing Zicasso's praises.
This trip, they connected us with two five-star travel partners and we couldn't be more pleased with our travel specialist. We had a fantastic time in Norway and Sweden! Her expertise really enhanced our experiences.
All of the connections were smooth, hotels amazing, and the guides were great. Both the food and the service at the hotels she recommended were top-notch.
I found the experience with the Zicasso company to be outstanding and would recommend this company to anyone traveling to Italy. They encouraged input from me and followed through with all the details. They stayed in touch during the trip. There were no mishaps. I have already encouraged another prospective traveler to use this service provider.
Our trip to England and Ireland was absolutely amazing! We had a wonderful time and were able to see so much in just eight days. Everything that was arranged for us was first class and the restaurant recommendations were outstanding.
One of the most memorable parts of the experience was the support we received when our flight from London to Dublin was unexpectedly canceled in the middle of the night. By the time I woke up, everything had already been taken care of and rebooked for us. It was such a relief and truly highlighted the exceptional service we received. We are especially grateful to our travel specialist for navigating the situation so seamlessly on our behalf.
Thank you so much for helping make this a trip we will never forget. We truly appreciate all the planning, attention to detail, and support that went into creating such a fantastic experience.
Zicasso's travel specialist was wonderful and accommodating of all our needs.
Couldn’t have asked for better.
It was a very special father/daughter trip that went off flawlessly. We had a great time and got to do some very unique experiences. From sheepdog demos to falconry to a food tour, everything met and exceeded our expectations.
Zicasso's travel specialist and her team were amazing. They guided us every step of the way. The trip certainly exceeded our expectations!
Usually we plan our own trips. A friend referred us to Zicasso, and we are so glad she did! Our travel specialist was great. She closely collaborated with us, and was responsive to our wants and needs, in designing an exceptional 13-day trip to Slovenia and Croatia.
The boutique hotels were nice and conveniently located. It was a pleasure to have personable drivers, knowledgeable tour guides, and tickets set up in advance. We appreciated the seamless coordination behind the scenes. There was a lot of communication going on, that we weren't always aware of, between drivers and guides, which was reassuring and kept our travel experience stress-free. For example, we wound up with substitute guides (due to traffic, illness) on two occasions. It was also nice to receive WhatsApp messages from the local team with special reminders.
We would highly recommend them for their professionalism, communication, and ability to deliver a thorough, outstanding itinerary.
Our Zicasso travel specialist and her team did such an amazing job bringing our honeymoon to life. We gave her an idea of things we wanted to do, and she took that information and came up with something better than we ever expected. Her hotel choices, excursions and activities, and transportation were all top-notch.
All we had to do was show up and enjoy everything thanks to her. Thank you again and I hope to work with you again!
The Zicasso team planned our two-week tour of Greece. Our travel specialist worked closely with us to customize every detail, from boutique hotels and resorts to personalized excursions.
Once we arrived, she was in touch every day to make sure we were well cared for every step of the way. From the drivers and tour guides to the intimate daily experiences, the trip met and exceeded our expectations.
The entire team at Zicasso's travel company was extremely attentive and a pleasure to work with. They listened and covered everything we wanted to do on our dream trip to northern Italy. Everything was planned out so thoughtfully. Thank you.
Zicasso's travel specialists were excellent! They have an app that is tailor-made for the traveler. Each day is clearly outlined. They were always available. Additionally, given the short period of time they had to design a trip and make reservations, they managed to book accommodations that were the best available at the last minute.
My travel specialist listened to everything that I told her about what we do/want when we travel. We are the get up and go kind of people but also like to have time to explore on our own. She was very patient with me and the time I took to make sure the itinerary was what we wanted.
For example, I said that we were horse people and wanted to do a ride, but not just the kind where you walk the whole way. She booked us on a three-hour ride in the countryside that we could canter and gallop and even swim the horses bareback in the river! Couldn't have been happier with the way the trip turned out!
Once in Croatia everything went seamlessly! Drivers were always on time and the tours, both private and small group, were amazing. If we decided we wanted to be at the ferry earlier than scheduled, she made sure the driver was there.
There was a storm coming in and we decided that the kayaking tour was not a great idea so she pivoted and scheduled a driver to take us to the other side of the island, do a little wine tasting, see the old villages and lavender fields, and even booked a lunch reservation for us, all within maybe 15 minutes of reaching out to her. She always checked in to see how everything was going, but not so much as to be a bother. Any changes in our schedule she kept us updated.
When we landed in LA my husband said to me, "Where's our driver? Why didn't you have our specialist do that too?" Haha. I told him we weren't in Croatia anymore.
My travel specialist planned an absolutely wonderful trip for my daughter and myself. I had already planned an eclipse viewing on my own two years ago so I consulted with Zicasso which led me to a specialist to help plan the rest of our trip. She picked up right after the eclipse for us.
We had a few days in Madrid where we had a great guide to the Prado. The parks in Madrid are beautiful and we had plenty of time to explore. Our day trip to Segovia was so interesting. An easy excursion by train and another great guided tour. Finally, we spent five days in Barcelona with a day trip to Montserrat.
She completely understood the pace I wanted for the trip. She found absolutely delightful guides, all private tours. The hotels she chose were beautiful, clean, and had wonderful breakfasts. She directed us to great restaurants and also provided info on many other churches, markets, and parks to explore.
My daughter and I will definitely be heading back to Spain. We would love to explore more and we enjoyed the friendly people so much. Without a doubt, we will ask for her expertise in guiding our next trip to Spain!
Zicasso's travel company helped us to coordinate an absolutely seamless and unforgettable honeymoon. We did not have to worry about a single thing. All of the excursions, transfers, and accommodations were beautiful. Highly recommend.
Zicasso's travel specialist and her team were absolutely fantastic from beginning to end! I can't recommend the company enough. When we arrived at the airport and were delayed in customs, they already had a back-up plan to transport us from Libson to Porto. She checked in during the trip to make sure all was going smoothly and knew about flight delays on the way home before I did.
Most of all, the team was professional and extremely knowledgeable about local history, where to eat, what to visit (and avoid), and they provided a true local flavor in every aspect of the region. We avoided long lines and were treated like true VIPs. We will definitely seek out this travel company again and highly recommend you do the same!!
The trip was a dream come true. The Zicasso travel company provided excellent service.
The planning process went well and all was great on the trip.
We had to rearrange one excursion due to the weather, but the local Zicasso contact took care of everything.
Our trip was fantastic and we owe it all to our Zicasso travel agent. She went above and beyond, planning every detail of our trip and helping us when we had to make a mid-trip change. She was absolutely lovely to work with and I would have her plan every trip of mine if it were only possible. I would recommend her highly.
Trip of a lifetime, did not disappoint, even better than we expected. All due to excellent input and hard work by our exceptional Zicasso travel specialist.
Our recent trip to Portugal was nothing short of amazing, and we have Zicasso's travel specialist to thank for it! She truly nailed everything we were looking for.
From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. We requested private excursions and our drivers were friendly and punctual, while the guides were knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. Each recommendation from our specialist was spot-on!
A few highlights from our trip included a fun tuk-tuk tour in Lisbon, where we explored hidden gems, and a stunning hike in the Algarves. We also enjoyed the most beautiful day in the Douro Valley—definitely a trip highlight!
And let's not forget the accommodations; they were gorgeous and perfectly suited to our tastes. Our travel specialist really understood what we wanted and delivered beyond our expectations.
I can't recommend the company and our travel specialist enough! If you're looking for a personalized and memorable travel experience, you won’t regret working with them.
Fantastic trip. Very well orchestrated and supported by the Zicasso travel company's team. This is our second time using Zicasso and we have not been disappointed.
Zicasso's travel specialist was communicative, listened to our interests, and found good, off-the-beaten-path options for wine tastings. The trip was educational and rewarding. We just wish it had been planned to avoid crazy crowds and long lines, but this September was busier and hotter than normal for Italy.
The Zicasso travel company was spectacular and our trip was amazing. I was incredibly impressed with this company.
Zicasso's travel specialist planned a great trip for my group of friends. We especially had fun at our cooking class in Lucerne. The whole trip was seamless, from walking out of the airport to our waiting car to each activity we had planned. It was a joyful trip. We had no issues, but it was nice that our specialist checked in with me during the trip, and we knew that if any issues did arise, she was available to help sort it out.
Everything went very smoothly in terms of travel arrangements. Had a great itinerary, with the right amount of tours and free time to keep everyone happy. All accommodations were in great locations, with the right amount of luxury for our group! Zicasso's travel company planned a great trip!
Trip of a lifetime. Can't wait to go back!
Well-organized and updates through texting were great.
The process was easy with Zicasso’s travel specialists, who both responded quickly to our needs. The trip went smoothly, with all drivers being professional, timely, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed their company. Extra kudos to one of our drivers.
The trip Zicasso's travel specialist planned for us was absolutely fabulous! I didn’t want to come home from Africa; I loved it so much! I cannot more highly recommend her and the team!
There were a few snafus (not due to the travel company) and, boy, did they work hard to rectify the situation so we could make our flight home.
I absolutely loved every single second of this trip, a dream from beginning to end.
Zicasso's travel specialist planned the most incredible Italy trip for our family, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience! From beginning to end, everything was thoughtfully planned, organized, and seamless.
We traveled through Sorrento, Capri, the Amalfi Coast, Milan, and Lake Como, with amazing tours and experiences along the way, including Herculaneum, a winery near Mt. Vesuvius, and the train to St. Moritz. It was an ambitious itinerary, but our specialist made everything flow so smoothly. Our transportation, hotels, tours, and guides were all arranged for us, which allowed us to relax and actually enjoy our vacation instead of worrying about logistics.
What impressed us most was the attention to detail. We always knew where we needed to be, who was picking us up, and what to expect. Having everything taken care of made such a difference, especially traveling as a family and moving between several destinations.
This was truly a trip of a lifetime and one we will always remember. Our travel specialist did an amazing job bringing it all together and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our Italy trip so special. I would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely use her for our future travels!
Thank you to our travel specialist for an unforgettable trip!
We had an incredible experience with this Zicasso tour company! From the planning process through our entire trip, everything was thoughtfully organized and personalized to make our vacation exactly what we hoped for.
Our travel specialists were absolutely wonderful. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and personal service made such a difference. They were always available to assist with anything we needed, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy our time in Greece.
We were thrilled with the entire experience and cannot recommend this travel company and our specialists highly enough. If you are planning a trip to Greece and want personalized service from people who truly care about making your vacation special, they are the ones to call!
The amazing experience Zicasso's travel specialist put together for me far exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was customized for exactly what I wanted to see and do. There were a lot of transportation logistics around my itinerary and each step was executed absolutely flawlessly. My travel specialist was fully invested in making sure my experience was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
I was breathless with excitement from the moment my journey began until the point of departure. Each evening, the travel specialist provided me every detail I would need for the next day's adventure and she was available to me 24 hours a day should I have any issues, which I absolutely did not have. She is darling, professional, just wonderful, and top-notch at what she does.
My husband and I had a wonderful trip, which was well designed by Zicasso's travel company.
Our trip to Greece was worry-free, knowing that Zicasso's travel company had all the details worked out for us. Communication was amazing; someone was available at all times to answer any questions we had. We had two tours in Santorini, which were somewhat redundant, but all of our connections and tours were wonderful. Highly recommend.
This trip was the highlight of our lives. Zicasso was wonderful in finding our local travel coordinator, and she delivered above and beyond our highest expectations!!
It exceeded our expectations! The trip, overall, was well designed by Zicasso's travel company and the execution was great. The car service (pickups) in new Mercedes was always on time. The tour guides who guided us around were friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful of our time.
Erika and I were very pleased and will be using you again, as well as telling our friends about your services.
Zicasso's travel company planned an excellent trip for our group of four people. We saw many interesting places and had amazing guides to take us to and around those places. We saw so much and did so much in our three weeks visiting Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
Zicasso's travel specialists put together the most wonderful two weeks in Switzerland. They did all the hard work of trip planning and all we had to do was follow their direction. They were there when we had one small issue and resolved it immediately. If you are thinking of a trip to Switzerland, you could not be in better hands than these.
Pace was appropriate. Excursions were wonderful, especially with our guide. He was amazing. We loved the cork tour with another guide. The lunch was spectacular. Loved Sintra. The Port wine tasting turned out to be great, but started a little rough because we didn’t really know what it entailed. But at the end, fabulous. Loved the Douro Valley boat cruise.
The trip was great, as was the Zicasso travel company. Our travel specialist was very knowledgeable about travel in Japan.
Our Zicasso travel specialist was amazing! Thought of everything. Every experience was well done. They were always accessible. It was a trip of a lifetime. If you are going to Greece, choose this travel company!
It was a wonderful trip. Zicasso's travel specialist went over and above in accommodating me. I could not have asked for a better travel experience.
Our Zicasso agent was fabulous. She was communicative, thorough, responsive, and made our first trip to China a wonderful experience.
I traveled with my two sons, and this was their first visit. We wanted a mix of private tours in the traditional cities (Beijing, Shanghai) and free time to explore on our own in the newer cities (Chengdu, Chongqing). She recommended certain apps and helped explain the system in China (payments, subway, etc), which can be quite different than in N. America/Europe.
The guides she provided were knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Even if you are veteran traveler, if you have not been to China in 20+ years, it certainly helps to have someone to guide you! Our travel specialist and her company is the choice!
We loved working with our Zicasso travel specialist to plan our honeymoon! We had never planned a trip like this before and initially weren’t sure where we wanted to go. She patiently helped us work through seven different travel plans, exploring options in Spain, France, Crete, and Sardinia. Her knowledge of European destinations and willingness to keep refining the itinerary helped us create a honeymoon that felt perfect for us.
From the moment we landed in Sardinia through the end of our trip, everything was so well planned and organized. Having our hotels, transfers, and excursions arranged made such a difference! We could focus on enjoying our time together and making memories without worrying about the logistics.
Our itinerary also gave us plenty of time to relax and explore on our own, which we really appreciated. We were even able to make changes along the way, and that flexibility made the trip even more enjoyable!
The itinerary was excellent, and everything went smoothly. All arrangements were well planned and we loved our seven days in Italy.
Zicasso connected us with our travel specialist, who did a great job putting together a private tour of parts of England, Scotland, and the Republic of Ireland. The whole experience was tremendous.
We had a wonderful experience with Zicasso's travel company and their specialist. Our itinerary was thoughtfully planned, with beautiful hotels, excellent restaurants, tours, and transportation that made our trip seamless and enjoyable.
When my husband unexpectedly needed medical attention during our stay in Lagos, the travel specialist and her team went above and beyond. The resort manager even called me while we were at the hospital to check on us and the travel company made sure we had the support we needed.
The personal attention and care we received throughout our trip made a wonderful vacation even more special. We highly recommend this travel company!
Zicasso's travel company was exceptional; so helpful and informative. They connected us with a Croatian guide who gave us absolute 5-star service. Highly recommend her. She booked several tours for us, which were bucket-list excursions, including a beach club, a blue cave boat tour, restaurants, wonderful hotels in the center of everything, and a private car to Plitvice Lakes. Then, in Lake Como, we once again experienced fantastic service and a beautiful private boat tour of the lake. Spectacular.
We had a fabulous time! Every detail was perfect! Zicasso's travel specialist did a wonderful job of organizing our trip, from flights to accommodations to private tour guides.
Our trip was fantastic! Hotels and excursions were all amazing. Zicasso's travel specialist did a remarkable job.
We had a fabulous time. The accommodations and activities were exactly what we were looking for on this trip. Thank you!!
Zicasso's travel specialist really listened to what we wanted and planned the trip of a lifetime! Having never been to Italy before, I was nervous about planning a trip like this myself, but she knew Italy well and gave us great suggestions, and booked wonderful private tours for us. While we were on our trip, we had her and a colleague available to answer any questions and offer help when needed. We will definitely use them for other travel needs!
Our Italy trip was amazing! Zicasso's travel specialist did a wonderful job planning our trip. The itinerary was perfect. The escorts provided were very knowledgeable. There isn’t a thing we would change, except maybe add a few more days. Highly recommend Zicasso!
Zicasso's travel company did an outstanding job planning and delivering on our trip! Our travel specialist did a great job accommodating all of our requests and making last-minute adjustments to provide what we wanted. His very able-bodied colleague kept good tabs on us while we were there and promptly answered questions that we had on a daily basis. He even facilitated connecting us with our tour guide in Porto when we got lost and arrived after our designated meeting time! Overall, a wonderful Portugal experience!
Our travel specialist made our trip to Greece absolutely unforgettable. From the very beginning, she listened to what we wanted and put together an itinerary that felt completely tailored to us. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from our hotels and transportation to the experiences and special touches along the way.
What really set our specialist apart, though, was how present she was throughout our entire trip. We never felt like we were handed an itinerary and then left on our own. She was always available when we had a question, needed help, or something came up, and knowing we had her there for us made traveling through Greece completely stress-free.
Our time in Athens, Paros, and Santorini was everything we had hoped for and more. The trip flowed beautifully, and we were able to simply enjoy being together and experience Greece without worrying about all the logistics behind the scenes.
Our specialist truly cared about our experience, and it showed from start to finish. She didn't just plan a vacation for us; she helped create memories that the three of us will have forever.
I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone planning a trip to Greece. She is knowledgeable, responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful to work with. Thank you for taking such incredible care of us and for giving us a trip we will never forget.
We enjoyed everything other than the dinners that were included in our hotel in Valle Navado.
My husband and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary in Croatia, and we are so glad we did! From the start, Zicasso's travel specialist was fantastic from the initial presentation of our itinerary and throughout our whole trip.
We unfortunately had a delayed arrival due to airline issues, which was no fault of theirs; even with this delay, our specialist was super-responsive and rearranged our itinerary seamlessly.
We were able to enjoy the beautiful areas of Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik. Each area had amazing history, scenery, food, and such welcoming people! From the transportation to the excursions, we enjoyed it all!
Our `travel specialist made our `10-year `anniversary so special and definitely one to remember. I truly can not recommend her enough! We would love to visit Croatia again and maybe next time bring our kids!
The trip could not have been any better!
The trip was excellent. The company did a fantastic job. The hotels were well above our expectations. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to our friends.
Absolutely top rate. Can't say enough positive things about Zicasso's travel company. The trip was seamless and beyond expectations
We are so happy that we chose this Zicasso tour company to coordinate our vacation in Italy. From the moment we arrived in Rome airport to the day we departed at Milan airport 12 days later, everything went as planned, without a single problem or incident. We can’t say enough good things about the company and the beautiful country of Italy.
The trip Zicasso's travel company planned for my wife and I in England was exceptional. Everything ran extremely smoothly, and the service we received was excellent.
Zicasso's travel specialist did an excellent job in planning our trip to Portugal. She replied to all inquiries in a timely manner and kept us updated throughout the trip. A special thanks to the other team members.
Two members o f the team spent a few days with us in Lisbon and Porto. They were both knowledgeable, personable, and accommodated our needs accordingly. We felt like we were traveling with good friends. Overall, we had a great trip and would highly recommend Zicasso's travel company.
Outstanding organization of the entire trip. Zicasso's travel specialist is a superb trip manager: friendly, attentive to details, flexible to changes, knowledgeable about locations and guides. There were 10 of us on this trip and everyone praised him and his team highly.
Great service from Zicasso's travel specialist and her team. We had two fantastic villas that we enjoyed, and the tours and catamaran trips were outstanding. All the guides were very friendly and accommodating. Couldn't ask for anything more.
Excellent 10-day vacation by various trains, boats, and cable cars. Highly recommend this Zicasso tour company, as they tailor your holiday around the activities and scenery you prefer. We enjoyed ample free time each day, along with recommendations for “optional activities."
We had such an amazing experience with Zicasso'ss travel company and truly cannot recommend them enough! From the very beginning, our travel specialist and her team were incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and attentive to every detail.
One of the best parts of working with the company was being able to simply enjoy our trip without having to worry about all of the logistics behind the scenes. Everything was so well organized and it gave us such peace of mind knowing we had a wonderful team there to help if we needed anything along the way. They made traveling throughout Greece feel easy and seamless, which allowed us to really be present and enjoy our honeymoon.
You can tell how much our specialist and her team genuinely care about the experience their clients have. We felt so well taken care of throughout the entire trip and are incredibly grateful for everything they did to make it so special.
We would absolutely use them again and will be recommending them to anyone we know planning a trip to Greece. Thank you to our specialist and the entire team for helping make our honeymoon such an unforgettable experience!
This was the best experience my husband and I have had with a travel company. Zicasso's travel specialist exceeded our expectations.
She made sure to include activities that we enjoy, such as cooking classes, city tours, boat tours, and winery tours. She ensured we had ample time at each of the three cities we visited (Barcelona, Ibiza, and Mallorca). The transportation was excellent; the drivers were professional, with clean vehicles, and offered water during transport.
Our specialist ensured we had rest days at each location as travel can be exhausting. This helped ensure we felt rested during our travels. I can’t say enough about the activities she planned for us! We had a great time and will gladly use her and her travel company again!
Sensational trip. People were lovely and extremely helpful. The villa was fantastic. Planning was great. I highly recommend this trip. I would go back tomorrow.
The trip of a lifetime!
Zicasso's tour company took my dream and made it a reality!
Zicasso's travel company planned the most wonderful honeymoon for us. We couldn't have been happier with our trip and we'll definitely be back.
Wonderful trip. Zicasso's travel company was extremely responsive and put together a trip that exactly met the criteria that I specified. Our travel specialist listened to what I said and then came up with options that met the needs that we had. It was a great trip, with a number of hotels, internal flights, tours, etc., and everything went smoothly.
This was my wife's and my 10-year wedding anniversary, and not to mention our first time out of the USA. With that said, the planing and execution of this trip was perfect from the team at Zicasso. Our travel specialist was with us every step of the way to ensure our trip was without any issues. We couldn’t have asked for a better celebration for our 10-year wedding anniversary!
We had a wonderful trip! The travel guides you provided us were both outstanding and really made the trip for us. We appreciate that Zicasso's tour company was available for us when we needed some coordinating. The final hotel was amazing in every regard.
Carla and I had an absolutely wonderful experience in France, and we could not have been happier with the way our trip was planned and organized by our travel specialist and Zicasso.
What impressed us most was our specialist's extraordinary attention to detail. Every aspect of our trip felt thoughtfully planned and seamlessly coordinated. From the hotels and transportation to the guides, tours, gourmet experiences, and wine tastings, everything came together beautifully.
Every guide and driver was fantastic—knowledgeable, professional, personable, and genuinely enjoyable. It was obvious that a great deal of thought went into selecting each experience and making sure it matched our interests.
Our travel specialist made the entire process easy and enjoyable. We never had to worry about the logistics and were able to simply relax and enjoy France. The trip exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely use her services for our next trip.
It was a pleasure working with Zicasso's travel specialist. She was very responsive to our requests and she answered our emails promptly. She tailored our trips according to our interests and preferences.
Overall, the whole journey was amazing. We enjoyed all the guided tours, especially the culinary tours. A special mention: the sunset cruise out of Oslo with our captain and guide was outstanding. He was not only an excellent captain, but he entertained us with a comprehensive history lesson about Oslo and Norway!
The cruise was very scenic and the excursion gave us a taste of rural Norway. It was the first time for us sailing on a battery/LNG powered ship! It was a silent, smooth cruise, with good food and wine!
We had a great time in Stockholm and Copenhagen. A special mention about the hotel in Stockholm and the hotel in Copenhagen. Absolutely loved both of them!
We were delighted with our trip and working with our travel specialist and her team was a real pleasure. I would highly recommend them!
I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had. Our Zicasso travel agent put together an itinerary that included everything we wanted to see and arranged an outstanding driver for us. He was always prompt, personable, and a pleasure to spend time with. He shared fascinating stories and provided valuable insights about the areas we traveled through, which made the journey even more enjoyable.
We encountered a few changes during our trip and the team was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring everything went smoothly. Their flexibility and commitment to customer service truly exceeded our expectations.
We have used Zicasso before and, once again, they delivered an exceptional experience. We will definitely use them for our next adventure and highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Italy.
Everything was top-class. My only critique is that there was a strike at the Nairobi airport during our trip, and I had to contact Zicasso's travel specialists about alternative arrangements. I feel they should have been more on top of that. What if I had not learned of the strike?
Other than that... outstanding!
Well-designed and planned bespoke trip. All details were taken care of and local guides and drivers were knowledgeable and professional.
The communication was great on the front end. We were planning the trip with another couple and Zicasso's travel specialist was very good at answering any question quickly and thoroughly.
The drivers we had on the trip were outstanding, on time, very helpful, and friendly. Our tour guides were also fantastic! Very knowledgeable! Very fun to be with.
All in all, great trip, just like Italy was last year, and we are currently in the planning stage for a trip to Paris/Normandy in 2027!!
Everything was so perfectly curated for us. The Zicasso travel company's team took our dream trip and executed it in a way that made it better than I imagined.
Something I never thought too much about was the logistics of getting to and from each location and different tours. The team scheduled all our transport and it gave us such peace of mind. They could always find us, even if we couldn’t initially find them.
I am so grateful to the team for taking our vision, listening to the type of trip we were looking for, and making the recommendations they did. Their knowledge of each location and the special things to do was invaluable. Overall, they gave us our bucket-list trip and we will absolutely be back for another trip with them through Italy.
Zicasso's travel company and its specialist were extremely thorough. Not a single detail was left undone. Our travel specialist was very patient with all of my questions and we had a remarkably planned trip. Every single detail was taken care of for us: we had great hotels, our guides were incredible, all of our passes for Machu Picchu were ready and waiting. Most importantly, her team on the ground in Peru is what really made the trip special. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!
The vineyard/hotel in Chianti was very rustic; however, it was remote enough that, without a vehicle, we were restricted to dinner only at the vineyard. We planned to go one night to another restauant, but found that the Uber would be $250 for a 10-minute drive.
Zicasso's travel specialist listened well to our interests and created a fantastic five-and-a-half-day itinerary. While we largely followed his recommendations, we also added in a couple of excursions not listed. We loved visiting Iceland in September.
I had a wonderful time on my trip to Greece with two friends. Zicasso's travel specialist was amazing from start to finish. As someone who travels a lot internationally for work, my top priority was a first-class experience that I didn’t have to figure out the logistics for. Our travel specialist seemed to understand our group's vibe and delivered. I never had to think about what time I should leave to meet our guide or whether our hotel was in the right area.
On top of that, every guide she arranged was knowledgeable, kind, and a fun addition to our group. After this experience I’ll never travel internationally for personal travel again without talking to my travel specialist first.
Zicasso's travel company made my Argentina trip absolutely unforgettable. Every detail — from the city experiences in Buenos Aires to the breathtaking days in Ushuaia — was planned with care, precision, and deep knowledge of the region. The tours, transfers, and timing were seamless, and I always felt supported and well‑prepared.
What impressed me most was how personalized everything felt. They understood exactly what I wanted out of the trip and delivered an itinerary that matched my interests perfectly. I never had to worry about logistics; I could simply enjoy the experience.
I’m grateful for my travel specialist's professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine passion for creating meaningful travel. I will absolutely use this travel company again and would recommend it to anyone wishing to travel anywhere in the world.
The trip was fantastic, as was the Zicasso travel agency. Most supportive people I’ve ever been involved with.
Great team to work with. They listened carefully during our planning phase and delivered an itinerary that matched the needs of our group. Equally important, they were in contact with us throughout our 14-day journey with everything from boarding passes to restaurant suggestions. They are very quick to catch any scheduling challenge that arises and come up with alternative solutions.
They did a job from start to finish. During the brainstorming phase, they had great suggestions and listened carefully to what we were looking for on this trip. Once we got into the execution phase, we were given a 30+ page itinerary for a two-week trip, which was well thought out, organized, and incredibly helpful. Their work was exemplary and made our trip smooth and stress-free. The level of attention to detail was extraordinary, and we are very detail-oriented travelers, which is not always easy for planners, but they responded promptly and in detail to all of our questions.
We plan on using them again next year
Very lovely, nicely planned. Zicasso's travel specialist was wonderful. Really can't say enough. The only thing I would do differently was to have longer stays at one hotel as a base, and sightsee from there. That would cut down on packing, etc., every few days. Our other travel specialist was spectacular as well. On the ready and communication was tops.
My wife and I are back from seven days of road-tripping along Iceland's south coast from Reykjavik to Kirkjubæjarklaustur and back to Borgarnes along the west coast on a trip planned by our Zicasso travel specialist.
The Land of Fire and Ice truly lives up to its name and the hype. Our itinerary was packed with what felt like two weeks of experiences in a single week. We’re exhausted, but we feel deeply connected to nature and are thrilled to have seen so much of Iceland. The vast volcanic landscapes, moss-covered mountains, and pearl-white glaciers were simply breathtaking.
We visited waterfalls, explored an ice cave, walked black-sand beaches, boated through a glacial lagoon, spotted a rainbow over Vatnajökull glacier, wallowed in hot springs, and enjoyed some much-needed retail therapy in Reykjavík. To top it off, celebrating our decade together alongside a serendipitous waterfall-side wedding was very special. We were also lucky enough to catch the Northern Lights on both clear nights of our trip.
Working with our Zicasso specialist was fantastic. Since we drove ourselves, everything was mapped out in a nifty travel app containing all our tickets, timing recommendations, live Google Maps links, and ongoing support. We never felt rushed, stressed, or confused. Aside from adjusting to driving on the right side of the road (we drive on the left in SA), we didn't have to think about a thing. All activity and hotel bookings were taken care of. We just showed up and had an incredible time.
We will definitely return. Next time to tackle the full Ring Road loop.
Oh, and some top tips from the locals:
Never call an Icelandic horse a pony (and don't feed them).
Hold onto your car door in high winds. Gusts can literally rip them off their hinges.
Respect the Huldufólk (Hidden People). Leave stones where they are so you don't bring home a curse!
Protect the ecosystem and do not walk on the moss.
Skip bottled water. Iceland's tap water is among the cleanest in the world.
Zicasso's travel specialist created an amazing trip to Switzerland for our anniversary! She listened to our desire to cover a large swath of Switzerland in nine days, which was not easy, and managed to give us great options and alternate options should the weather change. She picked the perfect hotels for us (boutique with great service) and made sure we had early check-in when needed.
Everything went off without a hitch. We were so appreciative that she was so responsive while we were in the country; no matter how small the questions were, she was quick to answer. I would highly recommend her. Thank you for a lovely trip!
Zicasso's travel specialist was amazing! He took care of all of the details and his team was always available for any hiccups along the way. He was knowledgable and easy to communicate with.
We had a wonderful trip and the Zicasso travel agent did a fantastic job.
Best trip!! Loved it. All the details were handled by Zicasso's travel specialist; we just packed and went. An absolutely amazing vacation that we will always remember.
Zicasso's travel specialists were extremely helpful in developing an enjoyable itinerary. They had a great sense of what is worth visiting in the region. The hotel bookings were well aligned with the comfort and price we hoped for and the team was extremely helpful during our travels.
Zicasso's travel specialists provided excellent service overall. When we experienced challenges, they did their best to resolve them or provide alternative options. They were great with communications with us during our trip.
Zicasso’s business model of engaging with the best travel companies is a differentiator right off the bat. By identifying highly qualified travel agencies competing to put together custom, tailored vacations, the client is able to choose the company most aligned with the desired vacation. Zicasso also provides an overarching level of customer service. Our experience was excellent. I recommend them wholeheartedly.
Zicasso's travel specialist was a joy in planning a custom trip with me. She was flexible when we realized my plans had to change a bit. She also scrambled to find a solution when it turned out that I was being given a villa that was way more rustic than we had in mind. Her junior associate was also very attentive, kind, and stayed right on top of things. They both took me out to a wonderful Indonesian dinner at the end of my trip!
My Zicasso experience was superb. The travel specialists planned the perfect mother-daughter trip. They took care of all the small details, suggested delightful activities, provided fantastic guides, and arranged luxurious accommodations. They both responded quickly to any and all questions. I would highly recommend their services.
Excellent!!! Never a hiccup. All Guides were very knowledgeable and informative!! Never missed a pickup time and stayed with us until our plane arrived.
The itinerary was very detailed and easy to follow. Every day, there was a detailed schedule of suggested trains to take at specific times, which we tried to follow, making our trip so efficient. Zicasso’s travel specialist was always very prompt to respond to my questions and even responded after hours.
Had a magical experience in Italy overall. The hotel in Sorrento was incredible… we’ll be back.
Zicasso’s travel specialist was very responsive and clear.
It was a nicely planned trip, we enjoyed the local guides, and what’s not to love about Scotland.
The trip was excellent. Zicasso’s travel specialist explained things to us clearly, provided alternative choices, and made good recommendations that matched what we were looking for in terms of dining and limited mobility. The dinner reservations helped secure us seating with great river views in Lucerne.
On the one rainy day, the alternative recommendations were fairly limited and one made no sense. When we looked into the cave tour suggestion and read the description, it said that during rainstorms it could be dangerous, with rapidly running water washing people off the narrow cave paths.
Our trip was great. We had wonderful, diverse accommodations. The guides/drivers that Zicasso's travel specialists chose were very knowledgeable and friendly!
We had a great visit to the Amalfi Coast and Sicily. The accommodations selected by Zicasso's travel specialist were well situated and comfortable. The food was very good and the day tours were educational and entertaining. It was a little hot during the peak sun hours, so next year we'll go a little later in the year.
Zicasso’s travel specialist and the travel company were wonderful while planning and during my trip to Croatia. Our travel specialist worked with me on the itinerary and was able to tailor our trip to my specific interests and budgetary needs. I would absolutely recommend them!
Our trip to three Greek islands was pretty close to absolute perfection. We’d never used Zicasso before, but my sister had used it twice and highly recommended it. She was right, and now we’re recommending it to everyone we know who loves to travel.
Our agent took the time to really get to know us and what our hopes were for this trip. She listened carefully and gave us detailed and knowledgeable feedback on our proposed itinerary. Our overall feeling at the end of our trip was that we’d been taken care of at every moment… we felt like every detail had been considered and planned nearly perfectly. In 17 days, there was only one situation where we needed to work out a minor glitch.
We will use Zicasso every time we travel going forward.
We had a fantastic time. The travel company thought of everything and guided us through what could have been a complicated trip. We appreciated that we were met at every airport by drivers and guides. Our accommodations were beyond our expectations.
Our travel specialist really took into account what we told him to make sure our needs and our budget were met. His Zoom calls were so helpful with the planning. We stayed at three different bush camps and each was unique in its own way, giving us a wide variety of experiences and many wonderful animals to observe and photograph.
I have already mentioned our travel specialist to a couple of friends, suggesting that if they are planning a trip to Africa, he is their man. Thank you, Zicasso, for recommending the travel company.
The trip was simply amazing. It exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were first class and conveniently located in Lisbon and Porto. The guides were all top-notch. They were both informative and entertaining. We never felt like we were sitting in a lecture hall.
Also, my group just turned 70 in age and the guides and drivers accommodated our pace. In Porto, the guide acquired taxis to get us from the river up the hill to the cathedral. In the Douro Valley, the guide was able to arrange for us to be dropped off on the far shore to avoid some of the mountain roads. The drivers were also a delight and we felt safe with them at the wheel.
In addition, we would all recommend Zicasso’s travel company and, in particular, our travel specialist. He was easy to work with in laying out the itinerary and it was obvious he knew the best guides, drivers, and accommodations. He was always attentive. We experienced no problems at all on the trip and my only communication with him was to tell him how excellent everything was going.
My wife and I chose Zicasso because we liked their business model for luxury travel. We interviewed two travel specialist companies recommended by Zicasso for a trip to Ireland. We chose our travel company based on their attention to detail after we explained what were our goals for the trip. After committing to their program, it became seamless in arranging everything from hotels, tours, dinner, and even a round of golf. The outcome from the trip was beyond great.
The travel company was also in contact with us during the trip to make certain everything was happening as planned. We would highly recommend Zicasso and this travel company for customized luxury travel.
Great trip, everything we requested for our trip exceeded our expectations. Also, things we did not even think about were part of the trip. We would highly recommend Zicasso’s travel company!!
Our recent trip to Rome and Greece was a dream come true! 14 days, 4 cities. Not one detail left undone! Couldn’t have been any more perfect!
Very informative, quick response, details over the top, nicely planned vacation! The Zicasso travel specialists seemed like one of the family!!!!
Our nine-day trip to Bath and London was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. We were extremely pleased with how the trip was planned and organized, and everything came together beautifully.
Zicasso did an excellent job connecting us with our travel specialist. He was wonderful to work with and did a great job helping us create an itinerary that allowed us to experience the best of Bath and London. He was attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and made the planning process easy and enjoyable.
We truly appreciated the personalized service and attention to detail throughout the planning process. Having Zicasso connect us with the right travel company made a significant difference and our experience with this travel company was excellent. We would happily use Zicasso when planning a future trip.
Zicasso’s travel specialist helped my friends and me craft the perfect trip to Athens, Naxos, Paros, and Santorini. We were all first-timers and had some specific travel preferences, and we had a perfect trip. We did not have to worry about anything after touching down in Athens. Every transport, hotel, and tour was exactly as described. I cannot wait to go back!
Zicasso's travel specialist was very responsive, listened to what we liked and wanted, and set up a wonderful itinerary that was interesting and fun. Would definitely use again!
We had the best time! From the hotel stays to tours and transfers, everything was planned perfectly.
I have just returned from the trip of a lifetime, a “bucket-list” trip with dangerously high expectations that Zicasso's travel specialist somehow managed to far exceed.
Planning began more than a year ago when I came across Zicasso during my research and was connected with our travel specialist, who specializes in travel throughout Africa.
After an email or two, we scheduled a phone call and, from the beginning, our travel specialist listened carefully to what we were looking for in an African adventure. She understood that we wanted to experience as much as possible without spending our vacation enduring arduous travel days or flying on tiny planes. As I learned more about the region, she helped us craft an itinerary that perfectly blended safari, culture, the beautiful wine country, and the history and energy of Cape Town.
Every accommodation was magnificent, and our transfers and private guides were seamless, knowledgeable, and professional. Several of the people we met along the way made such an impression that we hope to remain in touch with them. Our travel specialist’s firsthand knowledge of the region was invaluable, not only in helping us choose the places she knew we would love, but also in knowing which places could wait for another trip.
Over the course of the year, through a handful of phone calls and emails, she crafted what truly felt like the perfect itinerary. Everything was set, until the night we were supposed to board our flight to begin the adventure. Our flight was canceled due to weather and could not be rebooked for several days. Because every detail of the trip had been meticulously coordinated, transfers, internal flights, hotels, safari lodges, and private guides, I watched our carefully planned holiday begin to fall like a row of dominoes.
I immediately reached out to our travel specialist and she went to work. Tirelessly and seemingly miraculously, she managed to salvage our trip, rearranging flights, accommodations, transfers, and the first several days of an itinerary that had taken a year to plan. Because of her extraordinary effort, we were still able to experience one of the most special and memorable trips of our lives.
A great travel advisor can plan a wonderful trip. You discover just how exceptional one is when everything goes wrong. Our travel specialist was there when we needed her most and I cannot imagine how we would have navigated those first few days without her.
If you are lucky enough to visit Africa, you may come home with incredible photographs and memories, but also with something far more lasting: a greater understanding of the world, a deeper appreciation for your own life, and a little more humility about your place in it.
We are enormously grateful to our travel specialist for helping make this truly the trip of a lifetime and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone considering an African adventure.
My trip to Italy was outstanding. The services arranged and last-minute trip requests were handled with grace and aplomb. I was especially impressed with the airline transfers on the tarmac, which were not the responsibility of our tour operator, but were arranged anyway. My companion, as well as myself, were most impressed riding along the airport tarmac taxiways in a late-model sedan.
Excellent, very easy to work with. Wonderful suggestions and planning.
Excellent overall.
We had a lovely tour of Sicily and we thoroughly enjoyed the scenic villages, mountains and coastal areas, the delicious food, the history and culture of the region, and, of course, the many lovely Sicilians we met on our journey! This was made possible by the travel company we went with when we first engaged Zicasso. They met with us (online) and developed a great tour, for which a few highlights are summarized below. They were also very helpful during the trip to offer us assistance if we needed it. In short, they made our trip truly memorable!
On our visit to Palermo, we experienced its ancient history and fine cuisine. Touring some of the smaller towns and villages, such as Cefalù, Modica, Scicli, Marzamemi and Noto, we enjoyed many scenic streets and alleys with their many shops and restaurants, and also seeing some beautiful artwork in their ancient cathedrals. The countryside of Sicily is also lovely to see and on our tour, we were privileged to visit some farms and talk with some locals who make their living off the land.
We were captivated by the rich historical underpinnings of Sicily, as we saw when we toured Agrigento to visit the Valley of the Temples. In other larger towns/cities we visited, such as Ragusa, Syracuse and Taormina, we had many opportunities to tour food markets and taste (and to learn to prepare) some specialty dishes of the local area.
Having a walking tour around Mount Etna with a local guide provided us with a refreshing outdoor nature hike that was a great way to learn about the area. Capping off our nature walk with a gastro/wine tour at a local winery was a great finale to our two-week vacation! In the end, our only regret was that we didn't want the vacation to end!
Zicasso’s travel specialist was excellent. He called me at the beginning of the process to discuss our needs—and listened. He helped us develop our itinerary based on our interests and mobility issues. He maintained regular contact and sent a detailed itinerary as we got close to our departure date. Everything went smoothly: drivers, admissions, etc.
Our guide for our three-day Golden Circle and South Coast trip was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We learned so much about Iceland’s history, culture, and its people. We enjoyed it.
My husband and I had a truly memorable and wonderful trip!! Thank you.
Zicasso’s travel specialist planned a great trip for us, with experiences that we will always remember.
Highlights:
The Eiffel Tower experience.
Cheese tasting experience.
Palace of Versailles.
Bike tour in Avignon.
Private boat charter in Saint-Tropez.
What an amazing trip, from planning to execution. Zicasso’s travel specialist and the team were fantastic!
It was a terrific vacation and Zicasso’s travel specialist was very helpful all the way through the trip.
The excursions we went on were all exactly what we were hoping for, and every one was first-rate. She was in touch every day and was willing and able to make some last-minute changes that we requested. The hotels were all delightful and the drivers she arranged were all very accommodating and very punctual. Transportation was a breeze.
She listened carefully when we first talked about what we wanted and then created the perfect experience for us. She was the best. I highly recommend using her for a trip to Italy.
Zicasso’s travel specialist organized an amazing trip to Ireland for me and my two sisters. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. From booking our accommodations to arranging transportation throughout the trip, she handled every detail flawlessly.
The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy our vacation without having to worry about logistics or make decisions along the way. Everything went smoothly and it was such a gift to have a stress-free travel experience.
Ireland was absolutely fantastic and much of that was thanks to our travel specialist's expertise, organization, and attention to detail. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable travel experience.
Zicasso’s travel specialist was amazing. He put together an awesome trip with very little advance time. He was helpful and accommodating with the few small changes that we made during the trip. I’d definitely recommend him and his agency!
This was my first time working with Zicasso’s travel company, which I found through Zicasso for a two-week trip to Switzerland. I spent time upfront with the travel specialist designing a custom itinerary focused on hiking the Alps. We stayed in four authentic mountain villages and alpine towns: St. Moritz, Zermatt, the Lake Interlaken area (with day trips to Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, and Wengen), and Lake Lucerne.
Our trip featured some truly unforgettable, world-class hikes and excursions, including Lake Oeschinensee, the Stoos Ridge trail, the Zermatt 5 Lakes walk, Mount Pilatus, and the Gornergrat Railway, with its breathtaking views overlooking the Matterhorn.
Navigating these high-elevation destinations required complex daily logistics, seamlessly combining trains, buses, funiculars, cogwheels, and chairlifts all in a single day. The travel company’s travel app made it all effortless, outlining every day in meticulous detail and storing all transportation documents in one place (it even works offline without Wi-Fi or 5G).
Furthermore, the travel company was available 24/7 via WhatsApp. I needed their assistance three times during the trip and their follow-up was prompt, usually within minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend the travel company for your European vacation; we had a fantastic experience and I truly could not have managed the trip without their expert knowledge and guidance.
Zicasso’s travel specialist did a phenomenal job learning about how we wanted to travel and tailoring a trip to meet and exceed our expectations. She clearly knows her way around Norway.
Thoughtfully planned out, well communicated, and met expectations discussed during the planning phase. Zicasso's travel specialists were easy to connect to during the trip too.
It was an overall wonderful experience! Zicasso’s travel specialist helped me plan the perfect trip, with a full itinerary over six days. Our tour guide was wonderful, keeping us on schedule and offering commentary.
Zicasso’s travel agency was an excellent choice for our trip. Our travel specialist made sure everything went smoothly. The planning, the execution, and the personal touch added up to a great holiday. I would highly recommend this agency.
Zicasso’s travel specialists and the travel company were truly amazing! They planned our dream itinerary and were wonderful to work with. We will definitely be booking another trip with them.
Zicasso’s travel company did a great job planning our trip. We were met at each stop (6 airline flights and 4 train rides) with luxury Mercedes transportation to take us to/from our hotels. We enjoyed all our planned excursions as well. The travel company was quick to respond to our questions and requests. We never felt like we were alone on this trip.
We were very pleased with the trip and your company. We appreciated the choices we made with your help. It made the trip pretty flawless and convenient for us.
Easy to work with. Fantastic holiday! Two weeks driving the Ring Road in Iceland, four days in Stockholm, then four more in Copenhagen. Ten hotels, tours, a car, mineral baths. All flawlessly planned. Zicasso's travel specialists were so helpful and communicated throughout the trip.
My husband and I had a wonderful experience on our first trip to Ireland, all thanks to our Zicasso travel specialist's thoughtful suggestions based on our preferences and goals to create a great itinerary.
All of the hotels, private tours, driving routes, and interesting stops that the travel specialist suggested and arranged for us were excellent choices and made for a truly memorable experience. The itinerary was paced just right so that we could spend adequate time enjoying each stop and not feel rushed to race to the next thing.
Leading up to the actual trip, the travel specialist was kind and patient with all of my questions and requests, and, while on the actual trip, she continued to be great, getting back to me on my last-minute questions.
I highly recommend our travel specialist for her expert knowledge of Ireland and her ability to put together a fabulous trip that I would never have been able to do on my own!
Our trip was wonderful and planned to perfection. Every tour and guide was wonderful. Pick-ups were prompt and efficient. We were traveling with two teenage granddaughters who did not want to leave!
My trip to Greece was amazing. Zicasso’s travel specialist took care of all my needs, from great accommodations to interesting and fun tours, both private and small-group, as well as ferries and drivers. All exceeded my expectations. All of my questions, both before and during my trip, were answered in a timely manner. I highly recommend the travel company for anyone’s European trips.
Efficiency and communication were excellent. I have one thing that needs to be cleared up. We thought all hotel fees were paid for, but we paid our hotel in Rome both the room charges and taxes. Is this correct?
Trip was beyond what we expected. Multiple local events that were unique.
We had a wonderful trip to Italy and were really impressed with Zicasso’s travel specialist and the travel company. We especially liked their travel app with the itinerary and all our tickets and information. They were also helpful and responsive when we had a few questions in-country.
My agent was very responsive from the outset. She made suggestions and pulled together a plan that worked with our expectations. On our trip, we had an unexpected medical emergency and she was great, checking in on how we were doing, asking if she could help somehow, and taking care of cancelling any plans that had to be adjusted.
The entire trip was wonderful. I would like to give a special thanks to our driver. He was always so kind and fun to be with. All of our guides were friendly and very knowledgeable. Their pacing was just right. We spent enough time at each venue. The information they gave us was thorough but concise. As we requested, our accommodations were well located.
What a wonderful trip!!! Made so many memories with my son. Hotels were excellent. Very relaxed atmosphere, but also very professional. The guides on all the tours were beyond excellent!!! Their passion for their profession was outstanding. The way our travel specialist set up the trip was so good. We got such an intimate taste of every region we went to. I would highly recommend anyone who wants help developing an itinerary for a trip to check with Zicasso. Give them your dream vacation and they will make it come true.
Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team did an excellent job in helping me plan a solo trip to Norway. I have some physical limitations and thought I was done traveling overseas, but my travel specialist worked with me to accommodate my ability level. She and her team worked hard on all aspects of my trip, and I truly felt supported and cared for while I was in Norway. I am so pleased that I was able to complete this trip and it's mostly because of my travel specialist's expertise and care.
Our trip was great. Zicasso’s travel company was very responsive to all of our emails and prepared a detailed itinerary that combined all of the trip elements we were looking for. They also made very helpful suggestions regarding places to see. We liked the hotels they selected and found their restaurant recommendations to be very helpful.
We loved working with Zicasso’s travel company. We were impressed by their firsthand experience. They did a wonderful job on our entire trip. Beautiful hotels, great camps, awesome guides - everything was so well planned, seamless from start to finish! We had a fantastic time and highly recommend them!!
In Botswana, we stayed at a camp in the Okavango Delta - a beautiful camp - everything first-rate - wonderful staff - just loved it!! Our second camp was in Linyanti. We liked that both the camps were just a few rooms. This camp was also very nice! The animal experiences were terrific at both camps. Nice service, great food and lots of it, as you get a lot of snacks throughout the day!
We had gorgeous hotels in Johannesburg, Victoria Falls, and Cape Town. Most of the tours were small-group for the four of us, which made it even better to not be in a big group.
In Cape Town, we enjoyed the peninsula, city area, and the wine country. We also enjoyed the Hermanus region.
Without any hesitation, we want to express our thanks to you for all you did to make our trip to Germany one that will forever remain fondly in our memories.
Unique.
Friendly, helpful service. Appreciate all the effort put into making this a smooth trip. I felt informed and prepared for every step. Grateful for all the assistance. Zicasso’s travel specialist really went the extra mile to make sure I had all the information I needed to make it a successful vacation.
Zicasso’s travel company was great to work with to plan our 16-day trip for 12 people. Our travel specialist met our needs by considering the age of the group (62 to 72). We were all vegetarian and had some accessibility needs.
We requested city-center hotels with breakfast, so the ones chosen were perfect, with so much entertainment, restaurants, and shops within walking distance. The hotels chosen were well maintained, had friendly staff, and great breakfast selections.
Having a WhatsApp group created with the team and my group made communication very easy and quick for all our needs. The team replied quickly and made changes where necessary, going as far as to book several vegetarian restaurants for us and providing tuk-tuks for the narrow roads, so we didn’t have to walk so much.
The tour guides who were chosen were all very knowledgeable. This kept my group entertained and engaged with all the tours and activities. The guides made sure we were able to see the best parts of the museums, palaces, churches, gardens, and castles. We are seven couples who have been traveling together for the last 14 years. This was the most memorable trip for us.
Thank you to the entire team.
We couldn’t be happier with the trip that Zicasso’s travel specialist planned for us. The planning process went smoothly and the trip exceeded our expectations. All of the details were handled flawlessly.
Working with Zicasso’s travel specialist was an absolute pleasure from start to finish! She made the entire process so easy and truly took the time to understand exactly what we wanted to experience on our trip to Italy.
From arranging all of our ground transportation and restaurant reservations to coordinating wonderful tours, knowledgeable guides, and unforgettable wine tastings, she handled every detail beautifully. She thought of all the little things that made such a big difference and allowed us to simply relax, enjoy ourselves, and make the most of our time in Italy without having to worry about the logistics.
We had such an incredible trip and so much of that was because our travel specialist made everything seamless and stress-free. Her attention to detail, organization, and genuine care for her clients really stood out.
We would absolutely recommend ther to anyone planning a special trip and we will definitely be using her for our future travels!
Our trip was meticulously planned and it was just what we asked for. Communication was great. Guides, drivers and tours were all wonderful. Hotels were very nice. I would highly recommend Zicasso’s travel company.
The emerald green hills, mist-shrouded castles, and joyful people captured our hearts.
Our family journey across the Emerald Isle felt like stepping directly into a living fairy tale. Beyond the magical settings, the execution behind the scenes was flawless. We came looking forward to a driver and walked away with a lifelong friend. The seamless care, ideas, and nimble adjustments from Zicasso’s travel specialists and the team transformed our itinerary into pure magic.
The Most Magical Chapters of Our Journey
The Crown Jewels: Three experiences stood out above all. Our off-road adventure on the rugged shores of Inishmore with our guide felt like visiting another planet. An unforgettable horseback-riding trek through Killarney National Park was pure poetry. Finally, our coastal foraging tour with our guide in Kinsale gave us a wonderfully immersive connection to the wild seashore.
A Culinary Fairy Tale: The dining was extraordinary. We indulged in afternoon tea at our hotel in Cashel, exceptional seafood at a restaurant in Dublin and a restaurant in Killarney, and a world-class meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Galway. Best of all was celebrating our son's birthday at a restaurant in Galway, making his day unforgettable.
Dublin: History came alive on a captivating walking tour, at Croke Park, and during a deeply immersive Viking experience at Dublinia. The city wrapped us in lively energy, from the fun of the Viking tour to the panoramic views at the top of the Guinness Storehouse.
Belfast: A powerful day trip that felt like opening a history book. We listened to deeply moving local stories on a private black cab tour before exploring the majestic halls of Titanic Belfast.
The Ring of Kerry: The dramatic Rock of Cashel welcomed us into a countryside that enchanted us at every turn. We loved the sheepdog demonstration, the thatched cottages of the Kerry Bog Village, and the raw majesty of the Kerry Cliffs on Valentia Island.
Cork: Our day trip to Blarney Castle was exquisite. The vibrant, otherworldly gardens felt like stepping directly into a storybook, featuring unique plant displays unlike anything we have ever seen before.
Killarney: We loved a peaceful woodland walk to the sun-dappled waters of Torc Waterfall, unlocking mysteries at an escape room, and the fiery rhythm of an Irish dance show.
Galway: After crossing on the car ferry via the staggering Cliffs of Moher and the limestone moonscape of The Burren, we enjoyed high-octane sports fun at an indoor sports experience.
Connemara and Beyond: A grand finale defined by the lakeside beauty of Kylemore Abbey and forest ziplining at an adventure park. We beautifully closed our loop wandering the ancient grounds of Birr Castle and the peaceful paths of the National Stud and Japanese Gardens.
We didn’t just visit Ireland, we left with deep family connections, lifelong memories, and amazing new friends.
Zicasso’s travel company prepared an itinerary to meet our expectations. Everything went very smoothly, from the pick-up in London through the drop-off at the Paris airport.
The hotels were excellent, with good locations and personable staff.
We particularly enjoyed and were impressed with the private tours in London and Paris. Both shared a wealth of history with us. The tours were enriching experiences and added greatly to our trip.
Fast-pass tickets to attractions were a real bonus.
Our travel specialists were great to work with and always responsive.
Overall, it was a wonderful trip.
First of all, our travel specialist was excellent, professional, and understanding. All our reservations and transfers were spot on. She was always available throughout our trip for any questions we had. As far as what we didn’t like, see below.
We did not like not being able to flush toilet paper. We also did not care too much for the windy weather, especially in the daytime with the sun shining bright. I know that’s partly our fault for not knowing the weather as well as the location to the beach from our hotel. Also wish we knew how expensive taxis and car services were, which left us no choice but to walk wherever we had to go. We learned a lot on this trip since it’s only our third time traveling abroad and will know much better what to make sure of in regard to some of what I explained above.
Zicasso’s travel specialist was fantastic to work with from start to finish. She created multiple itinerary options for us and was incredibly patient and helpful as we refined the trip into exactly what we wanted.
Her recommendations were excellent, from the hotels and transfers to the tours and experiences. Everything was thoughtfully planned, well organized, and made for such a memorable vacation. We especially appreciated how smoothly the logistics came together, which allowed us to simply enjoy the trip.
The travel specialist was always friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and knowledge made a huge difference, and we felt well taken care of every step of the way.
We absolutely loved our trip and would highly recommend the travel specialist to anyone planning a special vacation. We would happily work with her for a future trip!
Everything was excellent! I knew if I needed anything, I could reach out and find answers. Very well planned!
Compliments to Zicasso’s travel company and the travel specialist for such a beautiful trip. Our guides and drivers were all very professional, knowledgeable and did a very nice job – we especially liked our guide in Montenegro. She was so amazing!!!
All hotel selections were top-notch, and our excursions were also very nice – we loved our dinner, bike tour, and wine tasting at the family farm in Konavle and our oyster tasting in Ston – such unique and wonderful experiences!
The only constructive feedback I would offer regarded our sailing trip on Sunday Sept 6th. The captain and the route were lovely. However, the boat itself was not quite what we had expected. We have had several sailing cruises in the past with Zicasso and this boat was quite a bit different than others we had sailing cruises on.
We should have had more communication on the specific type of boat we were expecting/looking to have on our sailing cruise.
Overall, I am 100% satisfied with the travel company and would recommend them to others.
Zicasso’s travel specialist was very accommodating to help us plan a multi-generational family trip to Banff and Jasper. She also helped make schedule adjustments when our flight plans did not match the originally discussed plans.
Five stars. Fantastic.
Zicasso's tour company was extremely receptive to any of our inquiries and created one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken.
Our travel specialist was a delight to work with. He was very responsive to all our needs.
The guides and drivers were wonderful. My only complaint, which has already been discussed with the travel specialist, was the hotel in Berlin.
This is my third time using Zicasso and I have been very pleased.
Our trip was extraordinary and filled with new experiences. We met many wonderful people along the way and fell in love with Estonia.
Zicasso’s travel company did an absolutely incredible job planning our vacation. From start to finish, our travel agent and his team were fantastic at communication, planning, and adjusting the trip to meet our needs. Everything went smoothly and they continually checked in on us to ensure our trip was going as planned. They were immediately available for any assistance. Their picks of accommodations, transfers, tours, classes, etc., were all beyond anything we imagined. We highly recommend them to everyone!
Outstanding trip from top to bottom! All of our guides were absolutely amazing and the experiences were incredible. When we missed our connection because of a delay, Zicasso’s travel specialist was immediately responsive on what to do next. I would highly recommend them to everyone!
The tour company provided us with an amazing trip! We loved our travel specialist and were fortunate enough to have him as our guide! He's a wealth of information, has a fantastic sense of humor, and found us just the right activities! Zicasso has never disappointed! We are recommending him to everyone we know!
Zicasso’s travel specialist was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive on any questions and prepared us for our Quito and Galápagos trip. What a trip of a lifetime.
Our travel specialist arranged our food/scenic tour in Quito, which was perfect. Our guide was great, with so much knowledge and very flexible with the day, adapting to what we wanted to see. The ship was amazing and also perfect for our family. They always had activities to suit what you wanted to do that day.
Highly recommend working with this travel company and our travel specialist!
Amazing trip! Organized and dependable, everything was taken care of beginning to end! Zicasso’s travel specialist was a true professional, available for last-minute adjustments and planned perfectly! Much appreciate you for a trip of a lifetime!
Zicasso’s travel specialist was outstanding. Will definitely use him again and recommend to friends and family. He was easy to work with, had excellent communication, great ideas, and was exceptionally pleasant.
Working with Zicasso’s travel specialist and her colleague from the tour company was a fantastic experience. They really delivered on our request for an active girls’ trip focused on nature, wildlife, and scenery with a beautifully choreographed 8-day itinerary involving scenic boat and train rides, plus privately guided hikes.
Ode to our travel specialist and the travel company
Well orchestrated, planned and executed trip.
Chose and managed responsible sub-vendors to deliver personal, on-the-ground service.
Ode to our travel specialist
The travel specialist,
Thank you for planning, organizing and making our trip happen. We had quite an adventure in Peru and Ecuador.
I think it was sustainability that caught Ellen's eye at first, yet it was your focused, calm demeanour that helped us choose the options at the beginning and handle the small bumps during our trek that made this all wonderful.
This may be a small ode, yet they did big work.
Thank you.
My wife and I can't say enough about our trip. Truly amazing attention to detail! We got the right dosage of everything we wanted and our expectations were far exceeded by Zicasso's travel specialists! We are truly grateful for all your efforts.
Zicasso’s travel company did a fabulous job preparing our itinerary and working with us to customize it as necessary. When we finally arrived in Portugal and Spain for our trip, everything went smoothly and as described in our itinerary. We had zero issues with any part of it and people always showed up (guides/drivers) exactly when we were expecting them.
The guides the travel company picked were also very good and knowledgeable. What I really appreciated was the hotel selection, as in every case we were in the best location in each city, whether that was Lisbon, Porto, Madrid, or Barcelona. This made a massive difference when it came to sightseeing because most things were walkable or very close by. Also, the nearby restaurants and shops were great.
Overall, I think this was one of my family's favorite trips and I highly recommend this travel company if you're thinking of doing something similar.
I have been back for only 3 days and have already recommended Zicasso’s travel specialist and the tour company to three friends. It was a great trip and our travel specialist was available 24/7, making sure everything went as planned. The hotel choices were excellent, as were the restaurant recommendations. We were very happy with our choice of the tour company in planning our trip to Croatia.
The trip with our grandsons (13-year-old twins) was amazing. Zicasso’s travel specialist worked with us to create an itinerary that would be interesting and exciting. The guides were excellent, the restaurants were all great. All the travel arrangements were seamless. Highly recommended.
The trip was well conceived and set up. It was a perfect mix of guides and free time. Communication with Zicasso's travel company throughout the process was excellent. As is often the case, we had a few small glitches, mostly our fault.
We want to especially commend our travel specialist. She managed the process. Perhaps more importantly, she made herself instantly available throughout the trip and resolved issues immediately and well.
Amazing trip. Zicasso’s travel company was easy to work with at each step. I highly recommend them and would use them again.
An excellent trip is putting it mildly. We loved every second of every experience. It could not have gone more smoothly. Zicasso’s travel specialist did a fantastic job.
I had the most amazing time and all I had to do was show up. It was perfect!
Our Zicasso travel company was fantastic. They planned an exceptional trip for our multi-generational family, ages 7 to 74. We visited three main areas of Costa Rica: Arenal (La Fortuna), the Monteverde Cloud Forest, and Tamarindo on the Pacific Coast.
The activities were thoughtfully curated to appeal to all of us, regardless of age, and included nature preserve tours, hanging bridges tours, cloud forest tours, river wildlife safaris, and estuary tours with incredible naturalists. Our coffee and cacao farm tour was terrific and very interactive, and we made our own chocolate bonbons. And the ziplining was so much fun, even in a tropical storm downpour.
Our lodging was outstanding and provided pools for afternoon breaks and swimming for the grandchildren. And every transfer between locations and adventures went off without a hitch.
The travel company was so attentive to our needs and questions before and during the travel. They were available 24/7 while on the trip and were excellent at adjusting things as unseasonable storms caused some changes. We felt like we were in excellent hands.
Our drivers and guides were so knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They know what they are doing, their service is top-notch, and their subcontractors were excellent. My goal was for us to experience the rainforest and see birds and animals, and we did.
The greatest testimonials are from the grandchildren, ages 7-12. I asked them to keep a journal of our adventures. They could write or illustrate their entries. I never had to beg them to make their entry journals (I couldn't believe it!). Every night, they enthusiastically recorded their impressions with colorful drawings and statements.
This Costa Rica experience is something they, and we, will remember forever. I'm grateful to the travel company for making it happen. And grateful to Zicasso for connecting us to another tremendous travel company.
Zicasso’s travel specialist was a huge help in planning our trip. Typically, we enjoy doing all our own research and travel plans, so this was our first venture with a travel agent and we were well served. She always made herself available for our many questions.
Unbelievable country and fantastic planning by Zicasso’s travel company and our travel specialist.
When our family decided to take this first-time trip to Switzerland (Zermatt, Montreux, Grindelwald, Spiez, Brunnen), I really knew how I wanted our trip to feel. After speaking with the travel specialist and talking through my expectations, he developed an experience that was once-in-a-lifetime for our family, combining hiking and lake adventures, wine tasting, culture, and food over 12 days. His solutions and attention to detail when weather canceled excursions that were important to us and the immediate response by him and his team were very impressive. I could not be more thankful for their help and would use them again tomorrow. Absolutely recommend! Thanks to our travel specialist and his team!
We had an excellent experience with Zicasso’s travel company!
Our travel specialist planned a wonderful honeymoon for us to Slovenia and Croatia. All of the logistics worked out smoothly and she added in some really special touches, such as a truffle meal with a family-run business and a private boat tour to some of the islands. With our focus on planning our wedding, we didn’t have time or energy to plan the honeymoon, and the travel specialist made it easy for us.
In hindsight, we wish we had been clearer about some of our expectations and reviewed the itinerary more closely before committing. At times, the pace was a little rushed for us and we would rather not have paid for things such as a luxury rental vehicle with full insurance (which we didn't need because of our credit card coverage) and luxury transfers. We also didn't realize that all of our tours would be private, which wasn't really necessary for us.
Overall, the travel specialist was extremely professional and we're very satisfied with the service and support that she provided us. She even helped when I had a dental emergency during the trip, which we really appreciated. I would recommend Zicasso to anyone who wants a high-quality and smooth trip planned for them by someone who knows the area and has relationships with excellent local partners.
The technology support was outstanding and Zicasso’s travel specialist could not have been better!
Our trip was a 5 out of 5 and I would gladly recommend Zicasso’s tour operator and our travel designer to anyone who is planning a trip to Africa. We loved all of our accommodations, which included 3 camps as well as our accommodation in Cape Town.
All of the people we encountered throughout our 2 weeks took care of our every need in such a thoughtful way. The safaris themselves were spectacular, and our guides were super-knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. Food at all of our stays was excellent. And the logistics for the entire trip were seamless!
The trip was beautiful and delicious! We felt incredibly well taken care of by the entire Zicacsso team and look forward to working with them again as soon as the circumstances of our lives permit it.
Everything was great! Zicasso’s travel specialist is the best and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much!!
Zicasso's travel specialists took care of all of the details and made it easy… we had an amazing time!
Zicasso’s travel company listened very well to what we wanted from our trip. They then provided us with a fantastic itinerary that matched our needs. The travel company’s representatives were incredibly attentive and responsive throughout our journey. The highest compliment that I can give is that we are entirely satisfied with them.
We had a great trip. Everything went fairly smoothly. We might have had a little communication problem with expectations of one of the drivers. But overall, it was a great, relaxing time. Accommodations were nice. The boat ride, walking tours, and train ride were relaxing and great. Thank you to our Zicasso travel specialist.
This trip took a great deal of planning and we feel Zicasso’s travel company worked very closely with us to ensure we achieved our objectives. The communication and support from our travel specialist was excellent. The communication and caring during the trip was excellent. Any question or hiccup was addressed.
We were quite pleased with our hotels in terms of location and appearance, and the guides were very good to excellent. The guides were well prepared and knowledgeable. The transportation details worked out very well. The drivers were excellent and helpful in all locations.
In summary, we were very pleased and would use the travel company again.
We had a great trip. Support from Zicasso's travel company was excellent.
Zicasso’s travel company put together a terrific itinerary and consistently booked us into extremely well-located hotels with a strong sense of place. We never felt like we were in a generic international business hotel.
A couple of the excursions they booked were less than perfect, but the rest of the 2-month itinerary was flawless, and those two excursions are the only deficiencies I can recall in 60 days of travel via a combination of express ferries, trains, rental cars, cruise ships, overnight ferries, and one flight.
Planning the trip with Zicasso’s travel company was easy and smooth. They were helpful and responsive.
We enjoyed all the tours and had some really fantastic tour guides who were knowledgeable and so friendly. We felt cared for and whatever came up they were there to answer our questions.
They really know their stuff and can tailor to whatever you want.
We had an amazing time. All of our tour guides were fantastic, so knowledgeable and friendly. Zicasso’s travel specialists were great with answering our questions, giving recommendations on food and things to do specific to our interests, and even got us tickets to a Korean baseball game, which was a blast. Just know that some things cannot be booked far in advance in Korea, but that is just the norm.
We were so impressed with our trip and the many details that were thought of by Zicasso's travel specialists. We never had to worry about the drivers or the guides not being there. They were all fabulous and so talented with what they did.
Our trip to Northern Spain, meticulously arranged by Zicasso’s travel specialist, was nothing short of phenomenal. It exceeded all our expectations and provided an unforgettable experience.
From the outset, the travel specialist dedicated an incredible amount of time to ensuring that every aspect of the trip was personalized and tailored to our preferences. He thoroughly researched the best location near our accommodation to experience the eclipse. He discovered a charming small church perched on a hill amidst vast farmland, offering an ideal vantage point. To enhance the experience, he organized a delightful picnic where we could savor snacks during the eclipse. Everything went perfectly!
We stayed in four cities: Ezcaray, San Sebastián, Barcelona, and Madrid during our trip. Each city offered its own unique charm and attractions. The travel specialist provided exceptional personal guides who ensured we had a seamless and enriching experience. He also arranged for day trips to nearby towns, allowing us to explore the region’s hidden gems. Additionally, he made excellent restaurant recommendations, ensuring we indulged in wonderful local cuisine. The hotel selections recommended by the travel specialist were exceptional.
Overall, our trip to Northern Spain was nothing short of extraordinary. Our travel specialist’s exceptional service and attention to detail made it an unforgettable journey that we will cherish for years to come.
We were so happy to have worked with Zicasso’s travel specialist. He designed a trip that was really well suited to us. We felt so well taken care of all along the way and we were so impressed by our Lima tour guides and points of contact.
Excellent experience. Probably paid more than we should have, but the trip was seamless. We are spreading the word to use Zicasso’s travel company any chance our friends get.
My husband and I, along with two of our adult children, just finished a fantastic vacation in Norway, meticulously planned with Zicasso’s travel specialist.
We traveled from Oslo to Bergen, experiencing cruise boats through the fjords, spectacular waterfalls, hikes/walks, and private tours.
Our travel specialist was responsive and available at all times. She really cares about her customers' experience and was a delight to work with. Thank you to our travel specialist!
Working with Zicasso’s travel specialist was exactly what I needed. Being an Italian herself, she knew how to assist me in setting up an itinerary that worked for me. She was patient in answering the many questions I had from the beginning.
We absolutely loved all of the aspects of our trip that Zicasso’s travel company advised us on: tours, activities, hotels, restaurants, guides—everything! You really provided detailed information on our trip plan and the messaging app that made it very easy to get around the country and see amazing things. You were so helpful in tweaking our specific requests as you made proposals to us that we had all our questions answered and engaged in activities that were just what we wanted on our visit. During the trip, we could even access the daily plan details when we were offline, so that was very convenient.
We were so happy with the hotels and each had amazing views, which was very important to us. We also really enjoyed all of the food recommendations you made with wonderful restaurants everywhere we went. The balance of tours, vineyards, museums, and churches was wonderful and really engaging throughout our vacation. Thank you for also being available through text, calls, and WhatsApp as we needed anything else during the trip. We highly recommend your agency—thanks again!
Zicasso’s travel specialist listened to my ideas for our trip and made it happen. Her communication was timely and complete. She followed up with us throughout the trip. Everything went seamlessly and was very well planned, from the times of our train travel to the selection of hotels. I would use them again without question.
Excellent planning and communication from Zicasso's travel specialist. The pacing of the trip was spot-on. I would definitely recommend this service.
Luxury and amazing lodges, excellent and knowledgeable guide, smooth and detailed itinerary, perfect communication for planning and pre-travel.
Outstanding and above expectations.
Terrific.
Zicasso's travel specialists were knowledgeable, caring, and stayed in touch. It was like having a private guide.
Wow, where do I start? Working with Zicasso's travel specialist was a dream. She possesses an amazing attention to detail! She has excellent communication. I felt she had a real desire to create the best birthday trip for me.
Great job planning and with logistics. Hotels were great. Great excursions.
From the planning to the last transfer to the airport in Milan, we felt no stress and felt that each day was seamlessly planned, with the right combination of structure and plenty of free time, which we requested.
Some problems with the meeting place for tours and one problem with the hotel that was able to be resolved.
Our trip was five-star quality from beginning to the end. I had arranged for many day trips throughout Northern Spain. Not one tour guide (five) or driver was a minute late. Actually, they were always five minutes early and more than ready to transport us to our next destination.
The careful thought of Zicasso’s travel company made each one of our day trips special and the hotels lived up to or exceeded our expectations. Of course, our eclipse day was even better than we could imagine, viewing it from a vineyard hill outside of Logrono.
All in all, the trip was top-notch, as was the excellent service we received from the travel company. Great job team!
I have now traveled every corner of the world with Zicasso. Every aspect of every trip was flawless due to the experts located in the regions in which I have traveled. What I find amazing is the coordination of domestic flights, private tours, and pick-up and drop-off to each activity. (Even in remote locations!) Our most recent trip was to Australia and once again, the custom itinerary was designed by our travel specialist to our complete satisfaction. If you are looking for the next trip on your bucket list, look no further than Zicasso, which I highly recommend!
Zicasso’s travel specialists made our family trip amazing. Everything went smoothly. All of their vendors were on time, professional, and knowledgeable. I requested last-minute changes on one occasion and the travel specialist was able to make it happen within a short period of time. Highly recommend them for your trip to Italy.
Great trip of six nights in Turkey, with three full days in Istanbul and two in Cappadocia. Zicasso’s travel specialist created an itinerary based upon my specifics for my 85-year-old father, 73-year-old mother, my wife and I (40s), and our two kids (8 and 11). She gave a couple of options for hotels and matched our budget. She was responsive and flexible.
Upon arrival in Turkey, we were met by our guide, who was our guide throughout the trip. All transportation was arranged in well-appointed and comfortable Mercedes Sprinter vans. Overall, our guide took care of all the logistics so we could really be very efficient in seeing many sights, learning about the culture, and experiencing the cuisine. We did the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Hippodrome, cisterns, several mosques, a food tour, the Galata Tower, Topkapi Palace, a Bosphorus cruise, the Grand Bazaar, Spice Market, and other key sites. Then we flew to Cappadocia, saw the underground cities, went on a sunrise hot-air balloon ride, and saw other key sites.
Overall, the tour was packed but well organized, smooth, and a wonderful introduction for our multigenerational group to the country, people, and culture of Turkey.
What an amazing experience! Everything was thought of and taken care of by Zicasso's travel specialists, and we were able to just sit back and enjoy our luxury trip. Flawless execution!
Our trip to Albania was incredible. Everything from tour recommendations to professional, personable drivers and one-of-a-kind hotels exceeded our expectations. The travel company listened to everything we wanted and put together the perfect vacation, leaving us wanting more and vowing to return to Albania.
We hired Zicasso to plan our Northern Spain trip as new customers. Zicasso was recommended by a friend. Zicasso gives you two agencies to choose from and the agency we picked was great, with timely responses and no reservation problems during our vacation. We loved the agent's suggested hotels and tour guides. We surely needed the help since we do not speak Spanish and in Northern Spain there is less English spoken than in the bigger cities to the south. We would use Zicasso for a future vacation.
We absolutely loved our family trip to Colombia! Traveling with my husband and our five-year-old son, we were able to experience such a wonderful variety of what the country has to offer. We enjoyed the incredible culture, fabulous food, and, above all, the warm and welcoming people who made us feel so at home throughout our journey.
The itinerary was a beautiful combination of experiences. We started in the historic and vibrant city of Cartagena, then had time to relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches of Barú, and finally immersed ourselves in nature at a beautiful ecolodge in Antioquia, surrounded by the incredible landscapes of the region. Each destination offered something completely different and together they created the perfect balance of culture, relaxation, adventure, and nature for our family.
What made the trip especially memorable, though, was the people. The team from the Zicasso travel company who assisted us throughout the journey was incredibly warm, attentive, and helpful, and the guides we met along the way were wonderful. A special mention must go to our guide in Antioquia, who was absolutely incredible. He was not only knowledgeable and attentive, but also so kind and wonderful with our son. He made him feel comfortable, included, and excited about each experience, which meant so much to us as parents.
Overall, it was a truly special family trip and we cannot wait to return to Colombia!
Zicasso’s travel specialists were great. Attention to detail exceeded my expectations. Excellent communication during planning, but most importantly during the trip. I loved the daily texts with our plan for the day. The tours and tour guides were excellent. Cooking classes and private car drivers were great.
Zicasso's tour company did a great job. Followed up well. Everything was just as they said. Very thorough and complete. Would use them on all trips
Zicasso’s travel specialist was fantastic! She not only planned the trip, but she was easily accessible throughout to make last-minute adjustments, answer questions, and overall keep us straight! I would highly recommend her and the travel company.
Zicasso's travel specialists catered to our requests in planning and executing our trip. They suggested tours we would not have considered, and we're glad they did. The trip exceeded our expectations and followed the itinerary as planned. During the trip, they were in frequent communication with us and informed us of drivers' and tour guides' arrivals. We would highly recommend the travel company.
Planning the trip to Iceland with Zicasso’s travel company was done very professionally and in an expert manner. Execution of the trip was meticulously performed. Our travel specialist was easily approachable and responded promptly to queries and concerns. Our driver and guide, during our 10 days around the Ring Road, was exceptionally good.
We love Zicasso! Zicasso made planning our dream honeymoon a breeze! The travel company was wonderful! They were so friendly and patient! They really took our interests, pace, and budget into account in planning a wonderful trip. They were so communicative and available, answering all of our questions, from big to small.
The trip itself was smooth, without any issues. Throughout our journey, we always felt supported and safe. From the drivers and tour guides to the hotel staff we interacted with while in South Africa, everyone was so welcoming and kind.
We raved about the ease in planning travel with Zicasso and passed along this amazing tool to many of the travelers we met on safari. Thank you again for everything!
I was absolutely pleased with my experience with Zicasso and the travel company as they planned our 25th anniversary trip to New Zealand in early 2026. Our trip consultant kept our dream trip within our budget and all accommodations were clean, comfortable, safe, and had every amenity we needed and wanted. All planned excursions went perfectly and we experienced all we hoped for and much more. I will absolutely use these services again.
My family and I all agree that our trip exceeded our expectations. Zicasso’s travel specialist’s planning and detailed itinerary allowed us to enjoy each destination without stress or worry. The private tours and professional guides made each tour memorable and, more importantly, allowed us to enjoy the tours without waiting in long lines. I highly recommend our travel specialist to anyone who wants to visit Europe.
The trip was well planned, our guide was exceptional, the hot weather was horrible, but we adjusted accordingly.
Our trip surpassed all of our expectations and we have very high expectations! We spent a whole week with our guide doing a counterclockwise tour of Iceland, ending with dinner at his gracious home and the solar eclipse on August 12, 2026.
He is a highly educated, well-read guide who has been a teacher and has created his tours with history, geology, culture, religion, and much, much more. He is a native Icelander whose family has been there for generations.
In addition to fjording rivers, looking at rainbows over full, magnificent waterfalls, riding ATVs over lava beaches, and arranging a Zodiac boat tour of the Blue Lagoon, he educated us about Icelandic life.
He talked a lot during our tour. He is an excellent driver. He was courteous to us and also provided time for my husband and me to take walks, have dinners, and spend evenings alone.
He has traveled widely, so we also enjoyed talking with him about his travels. He chose exotic, out-of-the-way places to show us that we were obviously off the beaten path. We have nothing but gratitude that he was at our helm. We look forward to visiting when he travels to California. Bravo!!
Amazing honeymoon! Zicasso's travel specialists were incredibly helpful and helped us plan the most amazing relaxing trip of our lives. Highly recommend working with them!
This was an exceptional experience. The tours worked out well and we had great guides throughout. Zicasso’s travel company provided great service in-country. We had a few issues with transportation, but they helped us resolve them (i.e. drivers showed up without the car seats we had arranged for the small children, etc.). Accommodations were excellent and their willingness to adjust helped, especially dealing with the very hot weather this summer.
We had an amazing experience with Zicasso’s travel company. From beginning to end, everything was handled with such professionalism, individual care, and attention to detail. Our travel agent was incredibly helpful, very responsive, and genuinely committed to making our trip special.
Everything was organized perfectly and we always felt taken care of. She went above and beyond our expectations and made the entire travel experience easy and stress-free.
I would highly recommend our travel agent and the travel company. Thank you again for making our trip so memorable.
This trip was simply the best we’ve ever taken! It was all thanks to the meticulous attention to detail by Zicasso’s travel company staff and the exceptional guides and drivers they managed to find.
Our travel agent, in particular, was a gem. She found strategically located hotels that allowed us to explore, rest, and truly enjoy the areas. Each hotel had its own unique charm and every tour was packed with fascinating information and a deep dive into Croatian culture. I can’t thank the travel company enough for making our 29th wedding anniversary trip truly exceptional.
Zicasso’s travel specialist put together an excellent trip. Everything was perfect: the hotels, the restaurants, the activities, the guides. Our expectations were high and she exceeded them.
We had a wonderful trip to Slovenia and Croatia! Working with Zicasso’s travel specialist was great. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
The trip was well organized. The driver was a gem: nice, flexible, responsible, punctual; while the guides varied, they were excellent to acceptable. Most hotels were good or excellent. You may wish to reconsider using our hotel in Berat (the location is good, the room is OK; the owner is rude, unhelpful, and greedy. For example, he charges for coffee at breakfast and overcharges for water).
Our family had an absolutely amazing experience traveling through Portugal, thanks to Zicasso’s travel specialist and her company. Every detail of our vacation was thoughtfully planned and customized to fit our family's interests, making the trip completely stress-free and enjoyable.
We spent the first half of our trip in Lisbon, with unforgettable day trips to Sintra, Nazaré, and Óbidos. Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and brought Portugal's history and culture to life. She was also wonderful with our family and made every excursion engaging for both adults and children.
Our travel specialist was outstanding from start to finish. She greeted us at the airport, coordinated all of our transportation, checked in with us throughout the trip, and ensured everything ran seamlessly. Her attention to detail and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart.
For the second half of our vacation, we traveled to Lagos in the Algarve. Our kids had an incredible time at the waterpark and loved kayaking through the stunning sea caves. These experiences were perfectly chosen for our family and created lasting memories.
One of the things we appreciated most was that all of our guides and drivers were Portuguese. This gave us an authentic perspective on the country, its culture, and its people that we never would have experienced otherwise.
I highly recommend our travel specialist and her team to anyone looking for a unique, personalized, and memorable trip to Portugal. Their professionalism, local expertise, and outstanding service made this one of the best family vacations we have ever taken.
What a great trip! The hotels were amazing, the transportation was seamless, and the tours were great!
Zicasso’s travel specialist was great. We spent multiple months planning our honeymoon to Australia and had numerous calls/trip agenda revisions, which allowed us to have a perfect trip and honeymoon.
Our itinerary was perfectly built for our wants and allowed for a very smooth trip and travel.
The trip's total price was much higher than expected, but we have no regrets about the trip at all.
We would definitely use them again.
Excellent all around. Zicasso’s travel specialist was fast, thorough, and very knowledgeable. He answered all my follow-up questions quickly and resolved the only issue that arose on the trip (a rental car company goof) instantly. I would recommend the travel company and our travel specialist without reservation.
Everything went smoothly. Zicasso’s travel specialist responded quickly to any questions. Next time, I would ask that we just have one tour or activity a day.
Our trip was fabulous. Everything worked out perfectly, without any issues. Zicasso’s travel specialist was absolutely terrific to work with. She created an itinerary for us that kept us busy seeing all the important sights, plus arranged for great drivers and tour guides. We could not ask for more. The hotel was perfect and in the right location, and the staff was also kind and considerate. We are discussing our trip for 2027 and will reach out to Zicasso when we know where we are going.
Nothing to comment on, everything was amazing.
The itinerary was as we had planned, with added impromptu input from our delightful guide.
There were a couple of small glitches that were easily and quickly resolved.
Excellent. Zicasso’s travel specialist was wonderful!!! Highly recommend her for any and all trips!!!!
All transfers, room accommodations, guide, railway, flight, and cruise arrangements were well communicated in advance and occurred as planned. Zicasso’s travel specialist was friendly, courteous, and efficient.
Zicasso’s travel specialist did a splendid job of assembling a rewarding, enjoyable, and satisfying tour, hotel, and activity schedule in Paris and the Loire Valley. Clear and responsive communications and very flexible when required. Will use her services again.
The entire process, from the start of planning to the execution of the vacation, was handled very professionally. I recommend Zicasso’s travel company if you are going to Ireland. The planning process with our travel specialist was seamless. We sent emails and I was able to call a few times about a few items that were easier to talk about than write a few paragraphs about. What my companions and I wanted was provided and we had a once-in-a-lifetime trip in Ireland.
We planned a nine-day trip with stops in Dublin, Cork, and Galway. Those were the cities we spent nights in. We spent the first three nights in Dublin and our travel specialist arranged tours and activities for us.
We met up with our chauffeur on the fourth day in Cork. He picked us up every morning for the next five days as we explored the destinations we planned. He drove us in a brand-new, 10-passenger Mercedes Sprinter van. There was plenty of room to stretch out and charge our phones. He explained the different places we should visit in the towns we wanted to visit. The driver made recommendations for different restaurants and places to see. It was enjoyable to be with only the people you were with, not on a large touring bus.
I highly recommend this travel company to anyone seeking a bespoke vacation in Ireland.
The trip was planned exactly to our liking and all of the accommodations and activities were very good. We were especially grateful for the availability and support of Zicasso’s travel specialist, both leading up to and throughout the trip. She made everything easy to follow, kept us well informed, and checked in with us before each transition to our next destination, which made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free.
Overall, we had a wonderful trip and appreciated all of the planning and support that went into making it a great experience.
Our trip was excellent and everything we could have hoped for. We saw and experienced everything we had desired. We were fully pleased with every aspect of our trip; the accommodations, our guides, and any support that we needed along the way.
My husband and I feel that we were listened to in the planning of the trip, and that all expectations were met. Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team were highly responsive, answered all questions, and took care to ensure our trip met our expectations.
Zicasso’s travel company planned the perfect multigenerational safari trip for our family. It was amazing and everyone loved it! Unbelievable opportunities to observe animals in their natural habitat, with excellent guides who educated us about the wildlife and the area. The camps were beautiful and comfortable, and the food was abundant and delicious. A once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget!
Booking our honeymoon with Zicasso’s travel company was the best decision we made. They were so easy to book with and very responsive. We mainly worked with our travel specialist, who was absolutely amazing!
Before the trip, we wanted to lower the cost and she immediately found alternatives to keep us within our budget. Once our trip started, we ended up missing our connecting flight. We sent our travel specialist a quick email and she immediately rearranged our hotel transfer. We emailed a question at 11pm one night and she answered us within 30 minutes.
They were so detailed with the itinerary that we knew exactly when to leave our hotel and how to get to any transfers or excursions we had booked. We had such an amazing experience and have recommended them to all our friends/family!
Trip went perfectly. Zicasso’s travel specialist did an amazing job compiling and tweaking an itinerary for us after hearing all the places we wanted to visit. All scheduled connecting transfers and in-country flights were on schedule and all the hotels selected were amazing. We couldn't have had a better two weeks in Costa Rica. Highly recommend booking with her.
Zicasso’s travel specialist was an excellent planner and very responsive. He booked us in some unique hotels that really hit it out of the park. We all especially liked our hotel in southeast Iceland, with its awesome museum. It was surreal.
We had a wonderful trip to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Bergen, and the fjords in Norway, with seamless connections, well-chosen hotels, and informative and fun tours and activities. Zicasso’s travel company did excellent work developing our itinerary and then following our trip to ensure it all proceeded smoothly.
We’ve never had a travel agency remain in such close contact during a trip. Our travel agent was an absolute pleasure to work with. She quickly responded to our emails and texts, and went through many iterations of our itinerary, honing it based on her extensive knowledge of the region and ensuring our complete satisfaction with it.
Zicasso’s travel specialist did a wonderful job creating a custom itinerary for our seven-person group that had a lot of different interests and activity levels. Highly recommend!
We could not have been happier with the personal attention we received from Zicasso’s travel company. Our travel specialist understood what our family was looking for and planned a trip that was perfect for our family.
Great trip, and Zicasso’s travel company did a great job planning it out. I would change a few things only because now I know what worked well for us.
Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. They planned the perfect trip with exactly what we wanted. They took care of all accommodations so we didn’t have to worry about anything and made us feel so comfortable, with being only a text away when we had questions.
Zicasso’s travel specialist is amazing. She and her staff of knowledgeable guides were on top of everything. They know all of the hidden gems and places to go. The hotels we stayed at were fantastic and easy walking distance of many sites. I 10/10 recommend!
Zicasso’s travel specialist was an amazing travel agent who arranged the perfect trip to Norway for us. She listened carefully and applied her expert knowledge to carefully arrange exactly what we had hoped for. From excellent hotel selections to amazing private tour guides and drivers, her selections and arrangements were top-notch.
Before the trip, she carefully and pleasantly answered all our questions about culture and tipping. On the couple of occasions when we needed minor adjustments or missed the information she had provided, she was quick to make changes or provide the information again without complaint. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking to arrange a trip to Norway.
