We had an amazing trip. Zicasso's travel specialist personally arranged the entire trip. We loved all the hotels, bikes, hikes, and tours she set up with qualified and interesting people. We were met at the airport, hotels, and at each of the many ferry rides by professional drivers, typically in a Mercedes. Our specialist was in constant contact during the trip, making sure everything happened as planned. We have never had a trip planned to the level of daily detail and hope we have an opportunity to work with our specialist in the future.

I worked with Zicasso's travel company to plan our honeymoon in France and I highly recommend them for anyone wanting a first-class experience! Everything from beginning to end was perfect and exceeded my expectations. The planning process with the trip planner was thorough and she put together a dream trip for us. She executed everything perfectly.

From the moment we arrived in Paris until we were dropped off, we were in their hands. Every hotel, restaurant, tour, and tour guide exceeded our expectations. The itinerary was a "surprise" for my wife, so each morning over breakfast I shared our itinerary with her from the trip app, which was very nice to have, by the way. She loved every minute of it!

Because this was our honeymoon, every hotel we went to had a welcome gift of champagne or chocolate waiting for us. Our tour guide in the Loire Valley also had a bottle of champagne for us and at several dinners we were treated with special desserts, all planned in advance by the travel company's team. What a nice touch.

We have already spoken with them about our next trip. I could not be more pleased with this company.

I had the most unforgettable experience traveling through Morocco from May 22 to 30, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible team at Zicasso's travel company. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully curated and exceptionally executed.

A huge thank you to my agent, who was not only responsive and patient during the planning process, but also served as my guide for the city and food tour. His knowledge of Moroccan culture, history, and hidden gems made each day meaningful and memorable. From navigating the medinas to introducing me to some of the best local dishes I’ve ever tasted, he brought the country to life with warmth and insight.

And then there was my amazing driver, who truly went above and beyond. When my luggage was delayed, he jumped into action without hesitation, reassuring me with calm and kindness, ensuring I was comfortable and even helping to coordinate efforts on the ground to locate my bags. Beyond that, his genuine hospitality, great conversation, and thoughtful surprises made each leg of the journey special. He was much more than a driver; he was a steady and essential part of the experience.

If you’re looking for a company that provides not only beautiful itineraries, but also incredible service, with heart and humanity, this is it. This trip fed my soul and it was made extraordinary by the people who brought it to life.

An Unforgettable Italian Journey – Absolutely Top-Tier Service!

From the very first inquiry to our final departure, our experience with Zicasso’s travel agency was nothing short of extraordinary. They are, without a doubt, a top-notch operation, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. We will absolutely be using their services again for future travels!

The entire process was seamless and enjoyable from beginning to end. Our agent made planning our dream trip an absolute breeze, listening attentively to our desires and crafting an itinerary that exceeded our expectations. Her expertise and insight were evident in every suggestion.

The exceptional communication continued with another tour operator, whose planning and follow-through were consistently spot-on. Everything was perfectly coordinated, leaving no room for stress or uncertainty. And if any minor hiccup arose, our agent’s problem-solving was incredibly prompt and effective, ensuring our trip remained relaxing and completely stress-free. This remarkable team truly created a tailor-made experience that catered perfectly to our desires.

A standout feature of their service was the dedicated WhatsApp group, which provided real-time support and made us feel like we had a personal concierge with us throughout our entire journey. This constant connection was invaluable.

It was clear that every element of our trip was meticulously vetted and selected with the utmost care. The tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, the drivers were professional and punctual, and every activity chosen added immense value to our experience. The quality of their selections truly shone through, making each day memorable.

The travel company and their entire staff are exceptional. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and dedication to creating a flawless and personalized travel experience truly set them apart. Thank you for an unforgettable vacation – we're already dreaming of our next trip with them!

Absolutely Unforgettable: Our Greek Adventure!

Wow, you seriously outdid yourselves! We just had the trip of a lifetime and we truly believe it can't be topped. From start to finish, you nailed every single detail, making our journey through Athens, Santorini, Milos, and Crete absolutely seamless and packed with incredible experiences.

Every transfer, every stay, every activity was perfectly handled. You really listened to what we wanted and delivered a trip that felt perfectly tailored to us. Thank you for crafting such an unforgettable adventure. We're already dreaming of our next Greek escape and we know exactly who we'll be calling!

The trip exceeded our expectations! We’ve been home several days and we continue to reflect back on how this was probably one of our best vacations, and that’s saying a lot since we enjoy traveling. We have never tried customizing our trips before, but after working with Zicasso's tour company, we are convinced this is the only way to experience countries and their unique cultures.

Our agent was exceptional in designing our itinerary based upon my requests, readily available, and very thoughtful, communicating with us daily once we were actually there. We visited six locations in two weeks and each day went flawlessly and on time. We are so impressed that we are already thinking of returning back and exploring more of this beautiful and historic country!

Zicasso's trip planner is perhaps the best travel consultant I have ever engaged. As a point of context, I am a retired corporate executive who traveled 250K to 500K miles per year over the last 15 years of my career. I had the advantages of executive assistants, a corporate travel department, and extensive administrative support. Even with all those advantages, this trip planner and his team set a new standard of excellence. My trip planning covered Antarctica, Argentina, and Brazil destinations over a five-week trip. The full trip was for my wife and me, with an additional two-week block for my two children to join us partway through the vacation. He also helped to arrange the holiday for another couple who were supposed to accompany us, but they had a medical emergency occur before the departed. This necessitated a great number of changes and cancelations, which he handled, seemingly without any problems and without any complaints.

I had only traveled to that part of the world in a business capacity before, so I was entirely reliant on our travel agent, not just for the physical arrangements, but to also take the time to understand our interests, curiosities, and desired outcomes. He brilliantly translated that into choices and recommendations that I truly cannot complain about. He is so wired into the hotels, travel options, restaurants, sites, and culture of Argentina, Brazil, and Antarctica that we were blown away by his skills and knowledge. He arranged boutique experiences, personal guides, and superior transportation at all stops. There were no gaps in our travel coverage and I was 100% confident in all of our day-to-day experiences. He knew of things that I never would have discovered on my own. The ease of communicating with him was superior. He always responded to our queries within hours and even had a direct U.S. telephone number so I did not even have to pay for long-distance phone calls.

Our experience so far exceeded my already high expectations that we want to return to Argentina again, and we want to find a way to employ his services again to plan future trips to South America and Africa. Also, each person he had us interact with (drivers, guides, and support staff) was unbelievably capable, but also displayed exuberance and superior customer-service attitudes. Potential problems were non-existent.

I would be personally willing to speak directly to anyone who is considering using this tour company as their travel provider if that would sway them to choose him and his team. I have run out of superlatives, but trust me, I have very high standards. I have been to over 50 countries in my life. I have lived on three continents and (thanks to him) I can finally say I have set foot on all seven continents. With that said, this travel agent earned my admiration as a professional in his field. I believe if you engaged anyone other than him, you would likely receive a fantastic experience, but not as good as it could have been.

This was a dream vacation made reality–five stars!

We just returned from the most unforgettable two-week adventure through Greece, all thanks to the exceptional planning and care of Zicasso's travel operator and her team! From the moment we landed until our final farewell in Athens, every detail was flawlessly executed.

Our journey began in Crete, where we were welcomed by a warm, knowledgeable guide who brought Chania's rich history to life during all of our many activities. From touring the many villages to hiking Imbros Gorge to the Palace of Knossos, we felt immersed in the true spirit of Crete.

Next was Santorini, where the sunsets were just as magical as we’d hoped. Our stay was filled with stunning cliffside views, wine tastings, and personalized recommendations that made it feel like we were exploring the island with a local friend.Naxos was an unexpected gem—less touristy, but bursting with charm. The tour guide here was particularly fantastic, taking us to authentic villages, ancient ruins, and serene beaches that felt like our own private paradise.

Our final days in Athens were the perfect ending to this epic journey. The historical sites were breathtaking and our guide’s passion for Greek history made every moment at the Acropolis and the museums feel deeply meaningful.What truly set this experience apart was how responsive and supportive our agent and her team were throughout the trip. Any time we had a question—whether about transportation, recommendations, or small changes in plans—they replied quickly and helpfully, making us feel completely at ease and well cared for.Throughout the trip, the logistics were seamless—beautiful accommodations, smooth transfers, and thoughtfully curated excursions. Every guide was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also incredibly kind and engaging. It felt like we were traveling with friends who truly cared about our experience.

We can’t thank our agent enough for crafting such a memorable and enriching vacation. Greece was always on our bucket list and now we’re already dreaming of our return!Highly, highly recommended!

We had a great time on our trip and were thrilled with the service Zicasso’s tour operator provided. We had a few snafus during our trip – weather, the country-wide blackout, and a forgotten passport – but our agent was on top of it and made sure we were taken care of so we could continue the enjoyment of our trip without worry.  

We particularly loved our guide in Lisbon – she was fantastic, with just the right balance of history, fun, and energy. And even though in Porto we had a very rainy day, we went forward with our sidecar tour with our guide. He was a total joy to hang out with and even in the rain, we had a great time. We felt like locals as he brought us to some of his favorite places. 

The Douro Valley trip was also fantastic with our guide, who was very knowledgeable and kind.  Even the transfer drivers who were arranged for us were spectacular. There was not one failure in customer service. 

The hotels in Lisbon and Porto were also excellent – great choices and so comfortable. All in all, I recommend Zicasso’s travel company and agent to plan anyone’s trip! You can’t go wrong!

We just experienced amazing service and flawless execution on our custom-designed, 22-day itinerary from Zicasso’s travel company. Every single meeting went smoothly, with white-gloved drivers waiting for us beside luxury vehicles and guides who always went above and beyond. In fact, after leaving a shopping bag in a cab in Tokyo, we were blown away when our travel agency was able to track it down and deliver it back to our hotel. But that's not even the best part. The best part was the experiences. Our agent and the staff at the travel company really found the authentic, less-traveled experiences we love.

Tokyo and Kyoto were amazing, with private tours of gardens, temples, and the best local food. We did washi paper making at a 400-year-old workshop and a private calligraphy lesson, attended a real sumo practice, walked the bamboo forest, and dressed in kimonos for tea service.

But our most memorable experiences were found in Niigata, where we stayed in a lovely ryokan and were served dinner on the tatami mat in our room. We slept soundly with the relaxing sound of the hot spring water flowing in our private bath. 

In Yamagata, where we spent the day with an enchanting Yamabushi guide, climbing sacred Mount Haguro and learning about the life of connection with nature that he chose. We loved it when he blew his conch shell horn to scare away the demons as we entered new parts of the forest. 

And in Okinawa, we had the most interesting Blue Zones cooking class and lunch with Yukie Miyaguni, who appeared in the Netflix documentary about longevity and medicinal foods, and looks 25 years old at 55. We also learned about the ancient art of sabani making and spent an afternoon on the beautiful clear waters in one, visiting pristine, remote beaches and collecting beautiful pink shells.

It was these unique, enlightening experiences, away from crowds and tourists, that showed us the real Japan we wanted to see. Our agent understood what we wanted and provided the absolute perfect mix of luxury (every accommodation exceeded our expectations, with club lounge access in Western-style hotels), adventure, and top-shelf service. It was perfect.

My trip was perfect! My Zicasso travel agent made a very difficult time in my life so much easier. You see, the purpose of my trip was to scatter my wife's ashes along the Amalfi Coast. She went above and beyond the travel arrangements by helping me navigate the proper process for fulfilling my wife's last request. I intend to recommend this company to my family, my relatives, and all my friends. The entire trip from start to finish went exactly as planned and all the tips provided before I left were very helpful and useful. I want to thank her again and again, and her entire team.

Gratefully,

Tom M.

We had an absolutely incredible European adventure! 

If you are dreaming of a seamless and spectacular European getaway like we were, look no further than Zicasso's travel company! Our recent trip for seven siblings across Vienna, Slovenia, Croatia, and Venice was nothing short of magical, all thanks to the incredible expertise of our travel specialist.

From the get-go, our travel specialist listened intently as I described our group's preferences, travel styles, and bucket-list wishes. He didn't just meet our expectations, he soared right past them, crafting an itinerary that felt tailor-made for pure joy and connection. This trip wasn't just a vacation; it was a precious opportunity for us grown-up siblings to laugh, explore, and feel like carefree kids again–truly amazing!

Our phenomenal main guide was the glue that held our adventure together. From our Vienna airport pickup all the way through to our Venice water-taxi send-off, he was a superstar! Always punctual, incredibly knowledgeable about each destination, and a fantastic organizer, he made every day flow effortlessly.

What truly set this experience apart was our guide's amazing flexibility. Whether it was one of many last-minute comfort breaks (much appreciated!), a tweak to the schedule, or an impromptu adventure like an exhilarating toboggan run down Straza hill in Slovenia (epic memories!), he handled it all with a smile. Exploring the breathtaking Postojna Cave and soaring above Lake Bohinj on the Vogel Cable Car were just a couple of the many highlights he helped make happen.

The local city guides were also fantastic, bringing each location to life with engaging stories and a perfect blend of fun activities and fascinating insights. From stunning wineries and delicious culinary tastings to chocolate making, truffle hunting, ancient arenas, and breathtaking historical sites, every day was a delightful discovery.

Thank you! You turned our European dream into a vibrant, unforgettable reality. If anyone is looking for a tour company that truly listens, expertly plans, and delivers an exceptional travel experience, this is the answer. Don't just dream it – book it!

I was extremely impressed with how well organized Zicasso was; every detail was perfect. I was extremely impressed by how Zicasso checked in with us every day of our trip to see if we had any issues. The hotels, drivers, and tour guides were all top-notch.

We had an unexpected health issue on our trip, which caused us to have to make changes to our travel plans. With a simple text, Zicasso made all the changes and saved us hours of time trying to rebook our internal travel.

I have taken trips in the past with other companies... Zicasso is the best by far!

The trip was absolutely amazing – truly the trip of a lifetime. The accommodations were perfect for us – the Cape Town hotel with its proximity to the V&A Waterfront and the boutique guesthouse in Franschhoek, which was also within easy walking distance to restaurants and the wine tram. The safari lodge was incredible – the food, service, safari drives, and our very comfortable glamping tent. The other lodge was also very comfortable, with great customer service.  

Our tour guide in Cape Town was the best – very knowledgeable, accommodating, and personable – and truly worked to make our trip extra special. The foodie tour was great – the most food we have ever had on a trip – with nice variety and local selections. 

The transfers were without a glitch.  

We can't say enough to thank our travel agent and her agency for making this a perfect trip.

This was the best trip ever!

We traveled to Crete, Santorini, Paros, and Athens. Zicasso's travel agents arranged everything to perfection and followed up throughout the entire trip. We never had to wait on transportation to any of the amazing experiences they’d arranged. It was truly the best trip we’ve ever taken. All accommodations were top shelf and in the most beautiful locations. If you’re planning a trip to Greece, do yourself a favor and put your trust in Zicasso!

Team Zicasso,

Our trip to Bali was simply outstanding… we could not have asked for a more amazing vacation!  Our highest compliments to our travel agent and the team he put together (our tour guide and driver) to make our vacation (a belated 50th birthday celebration) unforgettable. The travel company put together a top-notch itinerary with the most memorable excursions. From the sunset hike of Mount Batur to tours of rice fields and several temples, and three relaxing days in the Gili Islands, we could not have asked for more!  

Our agent was a master communicator and planner who was always two steps ahead. Throughout the entire planning process, he was punctual, efficient, honest, and a problem-solver to boot. Just one example: I miscalculated our departure day by one day and did not realize it until close to the end of our trip. Instead of me trying to frantically rearrange flights etc., our agent, within 30 minutes of hearing my problem, had three viable options for me ready to go, without any interruptions to our schedule. Another very professional touch that showed his willingness to go above and beyond was his personally greeting us at each new hotel we stayed at to ensure the accommodations met our expectations. 

I will definitely team up again with Team Zicasso and this company for future travel plans.

Sincerely,

Jeff H.

Our experience in Portugal was wonderful. Our family of four loved the tours, places to stay, the history, and the wonderful driver/guides. We cannot speak highly enough of our Zicasso travel planner and her colleagues. This was our second trip using a Zicasso travel agent and we were confident our trip would be a wonderful experience, and it was. Our tour guides were very flexible. They went above and beyond showing us the places they loved… "Their beautiful Portugal". It was a fantastic trip from start to finish! We will be using Zicasso tour specialists for another adventure.

We had the pleasure of working with Zicasso’s travel agents to create the perfect Italian adventure. I had quite a few specific requests, from travel logistics to hotel preferences, and they were incredibly patient and collaborative, offering multiple variations of the itinerary until it matched exactly what we envisioned.

Our journey began in Venice, where we were seamlessly picked up by a private driver, transferred to a water taxi, and dropped directly at our hotel. After a wonderful stay, we were taken by private driver to the train station for our ride from Venice to Florence, our one and only train trip, as we opted (based on their smart recommendation) for private transportation for the rest of our travels to avoid potential delays and enjoy added convenience.

From Florence, we were driven into the Tuscan hills, where we experienced magical wine tastings, vineyard tours, olive oil tastings, and unforgettable meals with wine pairings. 

Next, our private driver brought us to Pompeii, where we enjoyed a fascinating tour with our private guide, and then continued on to Rome. In Rome, we loved the private golf cart tour of the city’s major landmarks, as well as a delightful cooking class that was arranged for us; it was a real highlight!

Finally, we traveled by private driver to Sorrento. From there, we had a breathtaking driving tour of the Amalfi Coast, a lemon farm tour, and an amazing day trip to Capri. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed.

Summary:

Planning and Itinerary Creation: Zicasso’s consultants made the entire process easy and stress-free. They worked closely with us to perfect the itinerary and were always receptive to changes and feedback.

Hotels: My sister and I requested adjoining rooms and were provided with beautiful family suites throughout the trip. Each hotel was ideally located, comfortable, and well-appointed, with all the amenities we needed.

Transportation: Every transfer was smooth and punctual. The private drivers were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. (A special shoutout to our driver in Florence/Tuscany – he was the best!)

Communication: Throughout our trip, the travel company’s team was always accessible. Whether we needed to make adjustments or had a question, they handled everything promptly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our vacation.

We spent just over two unforgettable weeks in Italy and it was absolutely perfect, all thanks to the hard work, attention to detail, and excellent communication from Zicasso’s travel company! I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to use them again for future adventures.

We highly recommend using Zicasso! They connected us with local guides and hand-picked the top locations, hotels, and experiences that we’d never have found without them. We had an incredible time. The hotels were absolutely perfect and added immensely to our trip. The itinerary was great! We had incredible local guides and our driver was fantastic!

Zicasso's travel company set us up with a customized family vacation to Europe. They worked hard to make sure we could squeeze in as much fun as possible, with a fantastic mix of fun activities and cultural experiences. 

We had such a good time and I was able to relax because the itinerary was so detailed and perfect. Every train time, every tour, every activity, every driver, and every hotel were masterfully scheduled. They included maps, distances, and directions, along with great restaurant recommendations and interesting facts about the areas. I was truly blown away by the level of detail and care put into our personalized itinerary. 

Not only was the trip well organized, but their team was very attentive, checked in with us periodically to see if we were doing OK, and they were available for questions or concerns immediately. We would definitely recommend them and would definitely use this company again. 10/10! Thank you for the lifetime memories!

Our trip to Colombia was our third travel experience arranged via Zicasso. As was the case with our previous two trips, this one was managed nearly flawlessly from start to finish with the kind of attentive customer care we have become accustomed to with Zicasso and their partners.

The agent from our travel company went above and beyond in assisting us with all our planning, providing insights and recommendations only someone who has experienced Colombia fully can provide. She was very patient in helping us make adjustments to arrive at the perfect itinerary and then remaining in constant contact to ensure every minor detail was handled perfectly throughout our journey.

Our drivers and tour guides made sure we were greeted and escorted through each destination, from Medellín to Bogotá to Cartagena and our final destination on Isla Barú. While many friends expressed concern over our safety in Colombia, I can say we did not feel unsafe for a moment. The Colombia of today is no longer one riddled with crime and drugs, but rich in culture and charm.

We greatly enjoyed the thriving art scene of Comuna 13 and the nightlife of Medellín. Our hotel made us feel like we were in the middle of the rainforest, while just steps away from the bustle and excitement of the Poblado district. Our visit to a wonderful coffee plantation provided a full education on every step of the coffee-making process, from the berries on the tree all the way to a delicious cup, delivering a new appreciation for black coffee. I may only drink Colombian from now on.

Bogotá proved to be a modern city with an incredible food scene. Our agent arranged an amazing gastronomical tour for us one evening that catered to our dietary needs. We attended an amazing wedding on top of an old portside fort in Cartagena and enjoyed the charm of the old walled city before relaxing on a pristine beach off the coast, then heading home to tell everyone to hurry down to see all Colombia has to offer.

I can only say, Zicasso is the only way to plan your travel, whether alone or with a small group. For those considering Colombia, our in-country travel company carries my strongest endorsement.

Zicasso’s travel agent cares passionately about his clients. I used his company for a three-week Aegean odyssey in March-April 2025. My special request was to have a meal with a local family in their home. He arranged for immersive cooking with two families in Türkiye and Greece. He has an outstanding roster of local guides who provided private tours in Istanbul, Cappadocia, Kuşadası, Santorini, and Crete. All the guides were personable and knowledgable, and we had fun with day(s) filled with laughter. I mentioned to one that the hotel was going to charge 50 euros for laundry. He arranged his local laundry to do it for less than $10.

Our travel company pays attention to details, having the influence to get me upgraded rooms with spectacular balcony views of the Parthenon and Aegean Sea. The hotels were in strategic locations, with easy walking to restaurants, shopping, and points of interest. He ensured I had “fast pass”, so I went into the shorter security lanes at the airports. The vehicles were either Mercedes-Benz vans, sedans, or other nice SUVs for more room and better views.

For me, it is when things go sideways that one learns the value of a good travel specialist. On the day I was to fly from Athens to Santorini, all the transportation workers in Greece went on strike for 24 hours. There were no planes or ferries. That causes cascading problems. My agent arranged for me to spend the extra night in the same Athens hotel, got a new flight to Santorini the next day, even though the flights were very full, had the room ready for me in Santorini when I arrived early in the morning, and had the transfers waiting for me. I did not worry, as I knew I would be taken care of. The day before the strike, I was talking with other tourists who were scrambling to make arrangements when the internet and phone lines were jammed. The peace of mind was immeasurable.

This was a trip of a lifetime, thanks to Zicasso’s travel company!

Our family recently returned from an unforgettable journey through Morocco and we owe the magic of this experience to the incredible team at our travel company. From the moment we reached out, we were met with warmth, attentiveness, and an exceptional level of care.

The company crafted a beautifully balanced itinerary that allowed us to truly immerse ourselves in Moroccan culture. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, from transportation and accommodations to amazing local guides and our incredibly hospitable and attentive driver, who made the experience feel personal and deeply welcoming. The team was flexible throughout, adjusting plans effortlessly to suit our pace and preferences.

Highlights included a hands-on pottery workshop, a delicious cooking class filled with traditional Moroccan flavors, and a dreamy night of glamping in the Agafay Desert.

We also loved the coastal charm of Essaouira and the vibrant energy of Marrakech, with its colorful souks, stunning architecture, and lively atmosphere.

What stood out most was the kindness, authenticity, and thoughtfulness of everyone we encountered through our travel company. The experience gave us a meaningful connection to the country – its culture, landscapes, and people – that we’ll remember for a long time.

Thank you for such a memorable and enriching trip!

We just returned from a spectacular three-week journey through South America (Peru, Chile, and Argentina) and, once again, Zicasso, along with our trip planner, delivered an unforgettable experience. This was our second time using Zicasso and it’s clear why we keep coming back.

From the very beginning, our trip planner was a true partner in planning. He listened closely to our interests, helped shape an itinerary that perfectly balanced adventure, culture, and relaxation, and offered thoughtful insights that only someone deeply familiar with the region could provide. His attention to detail in the pre-trip phase was impeccable. We felt fully prepared and taken care of before we even left home.

Once on the ground, everything ran like clockwork. The in-country communication was seamless. Our agent and his team were always just a message away and incredibly responsive. Every driver was prompt, professional, and personable. The tours were consistently outstanding, with guides who were knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely engaging. The accommodations were beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly situated, offering unique charm and excellent service at every stop.

It’s not easy to plan a multi-country trip with so many moving parts, but Zicasso and our agent made it look effortless. We came away with lifelong memories and we’re already dreaming about our next adventure. Zicasso continues to exceed our expectations and we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

After 15 years of vacationing on small, live-aboard, scuba-diving ships around the world, we wanted our first land-based tour to be extraordinary. We sought a plan to include all drivers, transfers, and hotels, and an itinerary to include private walking and car tours of culturally significant sites and museums. Our goal was to cover, on our first trip to Scotland, the Scottish lowland and highlands, significant city centers, as well as the legendary palaces, lochs, castles, and museums. Moreover, my husband requested we focus on the Pict time period, especially the carved stones, swords, and other fighting devices used throughout the last 3,000 years of Scotland’s “recent” past.  

Our travel company was one of three firms we solicited for a proposal on a luxury vacation in Scotland. Only this Zicasso company hit these targets out of the box with a much better agenda than the competition and very competitive pricing. Moreover, their tour included a recommendation for a two-hour sword-fighting lesson, followed the next day by a visit to a private sword-fabricating forge!!

We returned home four days ago from our remarkable 13-day trip. The highlights of our trip are too exhaustive to even list. Three fantasy-fulfilling high points comprised three nights in a luxury castle bed and breakfast on the west coast, and visits to Inner Hebrides islands, including Iona, where I purchased two sterling Celtic penannular brooches. This was topped off with the commissioning of two swords from the forge, a Claymore and a basket hilt to be custom made using ancient techniques that will result in a pair of one-off customized designs including scabbard carvings and decorated multi-layer battle-ready blades.  

Overall, the tour used amazing guides, including two who wore kilts and full Scottish dress throughout their tours, provided a plethora of castles, and enough alone time to explore the local area and relax while eating the best meat and seafood imaginable, culminating end-to-end in the best vacation of our lives!!

Based on our experience, I cannot entreat you strongly enough to at least get an offer of services from this travel company. We submit you will not be disappointed in the offer or the fulfillment.

How can I even begin to explain this trip? It was better than anything we could have ever imagined or put together ourselves.

The level of service, attention to detail, and overall knowledge of our wants and needs was unlike any other trip we have ever had. Zicasso’s travel agent planned and executed the perfect trip from beginning to end, and when flights were delayed and missed, he had connections and options ready. When we asked if we could add or select a different option to something, he would pivot and make it happen.

We loved all the activities. Like everything in life, you have to roll with the weather and traffic and unexpected things like every other traveler, but our agent made sure we had a cooler of drinks and the best guides ever, no matter what!

He selected the most perfect guide for us! Our guide was kind and funny and truly knew Balinese culture, and took such pride in his work and knowledge. We felt so honored to have him with us. He was a fantastic photographer, conversationalist, and someone who, by the end, we truly considered a friend.

Every single resort and property our agent picked was incredible. We would wake up and want to pinch ourselves, and multiple times would shake our heads laughing, asking if this was real life. From the jungle and the islands to the beach and our magnificent private residence with a pool and staff, everything was perfectly executed by our agent and his team. This was the trip of a lifetime with the people we love the most and everything was phenomenal. We can’t thank you enough.

We just returned from our two-week trip to Chile, planned for my 60th birthday. My boyfriend and I had the most spectacular trip! Zicasso's travel company put together an amazing itinerary, designed to meet all our requirements for experiences, logistics, uniqueness, and our desired activities. From my first call with the travel specialist, I felt the responsiveness, personalization, and high level of service his company provided. I couldn’t have asked for anything more in a travel partner.

We had three stops – a winery in the Colchagua Valley, a boutique hotel in the Patagonia Lakes region, and a lodge in southern Patagonia, near Torres del Paine National Park. The recommendations on lodging were so perfect. Each was intimate, with such a high level of service and uniqueness. We loved that they were all inclusive, with meals and excursions included. This allowed us to adjust our plans day to day, based upon weather and how we were feeling. The travel specialist also made arrangements to make sure I had a very special birthday celebration, which was absolutely wonderful.

Zicasso's travel specialist truly exceeded expectations in crafting an unforgettable travel experience. His dedication to creating the perfect itinerary was evident through multiple planning sessions tailored to our needs. Despite numerous changes, he remained flexible and shared invaluable expertise about the destination, ensuring every detail aligned with our vision for the ideal vacation.

Even when a minor issue arose near the end of the trip, his responsiveness and quick action to arrange new accommodations made a significant difference. His proactive check-ins throughout the journey provided peace of mind, allowing us to fully relax knowing we were supported every step of the way.

This level of personalized service and attention to detail makes this travel company stand out as a premier travel-planning service. I wholeheartedly recommend this company and its team to anyone looking to plan their dream trip with confidence and ease.

Let me begin by saying this is the first time I have used an internet travel agent. I am in my 70s and until now, did my own research and trip planning, but as I prepared for my bucket-list trip to Portugal and Spain, I felt the need for professional help. 

I used Zicasso to find a travel agent. Choosing these travel agencies was the best travel decision I have ever made. The travel consultant assessed our desires and designed a trip that covered all of our wishes and more. Her suggestions for particular experiences (i.e., food tours, winery visit, boat tour, etc.) added dimensions to the trip that we had not even thought of. And with the help of her team and contacts, she executed that perfect plan. 

Every travel connection, hotel, and tour worked seamlessly. No transport or guide was ever late. Every guide was a delight, not only showing us their particular area, but giving us a window to life in that region. 

The app she provided was amazing, complete with a detailed schedule, contacts and emergency numbers (24/7), travel tips, copies of all tickets, and information on all the places we were visiting. It was also very easy to share our itinerary with folks back home. Communication with her was terrific before, during, and after the trip to make sure our needs were met.

Not only did this trip exceed my expectations for a dream trip, but the travel consultants and their team also gave me the gift of not worrying. Priceless!

Zicasso's travel company sent us on an epic trip to Costa Rica. The whole trip was so easy for us because we only had to show up at the time noted on the itinerary. The travel specialists were incredibly helpful during the planning and packing process, quickly answering any questions we had and giving advice.

The trip itself was incredible and I don’t think we can choose a favorite when it comes to the activities we did. We saw so much incredible flora and fauna while learning about the areas we visited. Ziplining, waterfall rappelling, and tubing were so much fun. We were part of a group of several families traveling together and this trip would not have been nearly as awesome without this travel company. I know it was challenging at times, but we are so thankful. We stayed in some beautiful and unique resorts. We appreciate that this company was available during our trip for any needs that popped up. This was such an unforgettable trip. Thank you.

The trip specialists at Zicasso's travel company provided us with great service. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for the absolutely fantastic experience that this travel company arranged for us in Italy. Every detail of the trip, from the exceptional tour guides and drivers to the beautiful hotels in perfect locations, was flawlessly planned and executed.

It’s hard to choose a favorite part of the journey because everything was so thoughtfully curated. What truly stood out, though, were the wonderful people we met along the way. Their warmth and knowledge made our trip not only memorable, but truly unforgettable.

Thank you for creating such a seamless and enriching adventure for us. We will definitely be recommending this tour operator to our friends and family, and we look forward to planning our next journey to Italy with you!

This trip and Zicasso's tour company were totally amazing! This travel company was so very professional in all aspects that we were blown away by them. They delivered exactly what they said they would. The staff were so easy to work with and the travel guides were awesome. We would highly recommend them to anyone thinking about a trip to Iceland!!

All aspects of our trip were extraordinary. From the first conversation with Zicasso’s trip planner, I knew she was the right person to plan our Ecuador experiences. She understood that we wanted to avoid crowded tourist attractions, preferring to interact with locals and the flora and fauna that surround them. 

Our guide made these things possible, taking us to eat at some of his favorite cafés as we traveled from Quito to the hotel near Nanegalito, and later from this one to the one in Imbabura. He was more than a guide, catering to all of our needs and sharing his personal contact information with us should we have any problems along our journey. He was an excellent guide. Although he was raised in the cloud forest region, he was knowledgeable and loves the entire country and its history. He could answer any question about the indigenous population, religious practices, food, or sports. As an academician, I recognized his teaching potential. He could be a professor one day.

Zicasso's tour operator really delivered in "Zicasso style" on our three-day stay in Tokyo. We had one very knowledgeable and fun guide for our full visit. That allowed our group to get to know her and she us! We really enjoyed our private yakatabune sail. It was a fun boat with great food and an open bar! And the ramen sampling trip the evening before was informative and fun! All in all, we had a very relaxing and fun time in Tokyo following our two-week travels through the Pacific.

The Zicasso agency provided great services and was very responsive. The drivers and guides were excellent. However, the itinerary felt a bit rushed, as I didn't realize that many places require an hour to two hours of driving. This didn't leave us enough time to explore each site thoroughly. Additionally, due to the season, some places were closed or closed early. We appreciated how quickly our driver and tour guide found alternatives for us. 

Another aspect we would have appreciated was more historical context and background stories about each location, as this would have added depth to the experience. 

Overall, we had a good time and all of the tour guides and drivers were very personable, making the journey enjoyable.

The Zicasso travel company was incredible to work with. My wife and I booked our honeymoon to Sri Lanka through them. The booking experience was incredibly smooth; our travel agent worked with us throughout to ensure we had the trip that we wanted. She was always responsive and attentive, and always available, even to set up phone conversations, despite the 11-hour time difference. Everything about our trip was also truly amazing; all of the experiences were wonderful and all of the local guides they set us up with did a great job. Not only were they very knowledgeable and interesting, but they were very friendly and we had a great rapport with all of them by the end of our tours.

I really can't recommend traveling to Sri Lanka enough and using this company if you're looking for a travel agency. My wife and I were already trying to figure out how we could come back by the end of our trip!

First of all, and most importantly, the Zicasso travel specialist listened to me regarding what was important for our trip to be successful. As a result, the activities, modes of transportation, types of accommodations, and amount of free time totally fit our interests and lifestyle. The communication all along the way was excellent and I felt very comfortable making changes in the planning process. 

There were excellent personal touches which were unexpected, but very much appreciated, such as securing emergency exit seats on all flights and having hard copies of our itinerary at our hotel when we arrived in each country. 

She made sure we had outstanding private hikes that showed us many birds, which is our passion! 

Overall, I couldn't have been more pleased with the whole experience.

Zicasso's travel agent was amazing in organizing a nine-and-a-half-week custom trip through Southeast Asia for us. She was intelligent, organized, efficient, and very clear in her communications. And patient too, going through several revisions. It was a concierge service! From the moment we arrived, everything the travel agent organized went like clockwork – the pick-ups, accommodations, flights, guides, and drivers were all perfect. 

The accommodations all matched closely with the guidance we gave the travel specialist on quality, facilities, etc. Most of the guides spoke excellent English (for a couple, it was passable). All had a passion for their country’s culture and history, and spending a few days with each of them in the car allowed us to have some wonderful conversations on more personal and nuanced topics. 

Then, when one of us needed to be hospitalized, the travel specialist jumped in to facilitate communications, arrange extra nights in hotels, and then recover what refunds were possible for the final two weeks we had to eliminate from the trip. You will not find a better tour operator!!

We could not have been more pleased with the trip Zicasso's travel company created for us! We worked with a travel specialist and he planned an encompassing, enlightening, and very fun trip. It was our first time in Spain and we loved being there. The hotels, guides, drivers, and experiences he arranged were all outstanding.

Our trip, arranged by Zicasso's travel agency, was an experience of a lifetime! They were exceptional from the beginning, spending at least 30 minutes listening to our needs and expectations during our initial meeting. The personalized itinerary was perfect. 

The guides, the experiences, and the places to stay were all outstanding. The guides were all experienced, personable, and knowledgeable. The experiences were phenomenal. Little unexpected extras were provided during the trip. 

Everything met and often exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this travel company due to their personalized service.
