Our Australia Travel Specialists

Zicasso’s travel specialist did a great job of listening to our travel goals, travel style, and approach. Her hotel choices were spot-on! The tours and activities suggested were consistently good. The local operators she chose were excellent. Very well recommended!

Our trip to Australia was incredible! Zicasso's tour operator put together a very thoughtful, well-paced itinerary. Our transportation always met us on time and with a good attitude. We enjoyed the diversity of experiences curated for our stay.
They took our bucket-list items and created an itinerary that allowed us to see almost every one! We were grateful to have a tour of the Historic Rocks in Sydney, a boat cruise harbor tour, watch "Carmen" at the Sydney Opera House, take a sunset camelback ride in the desert to see Ayers Rock, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, and get a private tour of a wildlife habitat (this was so special because we got to interact with some of the animals and learn from their keepers directly).
The only occasion on which I wish we'd had more time to spend was at Kuranda Village! There was so much to do and see, but we had an Army Duck tour and Aboriginal experience booked, which I really enjoyed because we got to ride through the jungle and enjoy performances from the Pamagirri community. Taking the Skyrail up and the train down was also a sight to see.
We enjoyed the intimate nature of tours, allowing us to ask questions about history, architecture, and daily life, and engage with our tour guides in a meaningful way. Highly prefer this style of private/small tours to the bigger bus tours. Our accommodations were impressive--from the luxurious hotel on George Street in Sydney to the desert resort in Uluru to the lodge on Captain Cook Highway in Port Douglas! We got to experience a range of climates. There was never a dull moment.
Even though the itinerary seemed jam-packed, we had just the right amount of time to rest and reset between activities and travel. Having such a detailed and professionally done itinerary gave us real peace of mind. The coordination of hospitality was also impeccable. Our hotels always communicated seamlessly with our pre-arranged transportation and tours. The trip was fun and totally stress-free! We were constantly delighted and charmed by this country and its people.

It was a great trip! We loved the accommodations and activities. Zicasso’s travel specialist did a great job with the itinerary.

Everything was top-notch, from great first contact with Zicasso’s travel specialist to finalization of itineraries, to wonderful recommendations for itineraries to hotel suggestions and, finally, the specific outfits for our daily excursions. We can’t say enough good things about the travel company and we would highly recommend them for clients wishing to travel to Australia.

Zicasso’s travel company helped make the itinerary for this trip come true. We had ideas of what we wanted to accomplish and the travel company set it up in a very timely, easy-to-follow manner. We needed help and support in a couple of areas during the trip, and they were there to provide support for the issues we encountered. We would trust this travel company to set up a trip to the South Island the next time we visit New Zealand.

Zicasso’s travel specialist is marvelous. From our introductory FaceTime chat, I knew he was the right person to plan our Australian adventure. I shared a general timeline and a few preferences—personalized travel, small-group tours, and a focus on scenery, food, and local experiences. I even casually mentioned that, since I pack light, laundry options every 7 to 10 days would be a bonus.
Wow—did the travel specialist deliver.
Private city tours in Sydney, Adelaide, and Melbourne. A Blue Mountains excursion with a local resident. Wine tastings, a foodie walking tour in Melbourne, and fabulous centrally located hotels that made exploring on foot effortless. The Ghan train journey was an unforgettable highlight.
And yes—lodgings with on-site laundry right on cue around day 10 and day 20. Not bad for a “casual” request!
This trip was truly amazing and the travel specialist was an absolute pleasure to work with. Always responsive, thoughtful, and attentive, he made what could have been complex planning feel completely effortless—and perfectly tailored to my travel style.
Rave reviews all around.

This was one of the best trips we have ever taken. The itinerary, the lodging, the activities, everything was perfect. Working with Zicasso’s travel specialist was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and very helpful.

Zicasso’s travel specialist worked with us to create a trip to meet our preferences. The itinerary was very detailed and he reviewed it with us before we departed. Communication was always clear and reliable.
I planned our own trip to the North Island last year and it was very time-consuming. This trip was much easier and the hotel accommodations were superb.
