Central America Travel Agents & Reviews

We had the trip of a lifetime to Costa Rica! Everything worked incredibly well. The tours and transportation were like clockwork, and working with Zicasso’s travel planner and her team was easy. We loved our time in Costa Rica and my family (husband, two kids ages nine and 11) was very happy with our activities and accommodations overall!

We had a great trip and Zicasso’s travel agent did a very good job of organizing a variety of activities to enable us to see Costa Rica in a thorough way, but in a short time. 

My only disappointment was the resort in La Fortuna. It was a great place, but we were placed in rooms a mile away from the restaurant, hot springs, and swimming pools. We had to call for a shuttle bus each time we wanted to get out of our rooms and that was frustrating, as well as preventing any spontaneous strolls or time outdoors enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery. We enjoyed all the other planned places and activities. 

I would suggest to our travel company that they include how long each planned activity is expected to last when they publish the itemized itinerary so clients can plan for meals, unscheduled time, and rest periods.

I highly recommend the travel company to other families traveling to Costa Rica! Pura vida!

Zicasso’s travel agent did a wonderful job of including all our requested activities, even scheduling rest days.

She and her team were great while we were in Belize! They were very responsive and adaptable. I would book a tour with them again.

I highly recommend booking with Zicasso's travel company! From the moment we started planning our vacation, the whole team was patient with my many questions and ensured my mom and I had the trip of a lifetime. Our travel specialist was always so kind and made every effort to personalize our itinerary with a great mix of exploring the outdoors while embracing the local culture. Even when my sister, who was supposed to come with us, had to cancel last minute, our agent and the team worked diligently to adjust our hotel rooms and other bookings, taking a huge weight of stress off our shoulders.

I would also like to thank our driver (a fabulous storyteller), who was with us through most of our trip. Not only was he a great person to talk to, but he always made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It was truly a pleasure to meet him! 

Overall, thank you for the greatest trip. We can’t wait to come back!

We celebrated my daughter's high school graduation with a 12-day trip to Costa Rica. I interviewed several local travel agencies and fell in love with Zicasso's tour company from the very first phone conversation. The owner was fantastic to work with, helping me craft the perfect adventure-filled, action-packed vacation for my family. He was honest and took the time to listen to our preferences. He provided great feedback and suggestions.

Prior to our trip, I felt very confident that I was in good hands and knew that every detail was taken care of. During our trip, the company owner checked in with me several times to make sure everything was ok. Unfortunately, someone in my family had to go home early and he was so helpful in coordinating an extra trip to the airport to accommodate our family needs (it required an extra nine hours of driving and a hotel stay for the driver).

The company owner and our agent were generous enough to not charge me for this extra trip. They even canceled all the hotel and activity reservations for that family member, and I received a refund at the end of my trip! It truly was a trip of a lifetime. I found myself thinking, I wish there was a travel company like this for every country because I would use them again to plan my next vacation, wherever it may be!

I also want to give a special shoutout to my driver, who drove my family on several long road trips during our vacation. During our drives, he would spot many interesting animals and birds, and stop on the side of the road so we could get out and get great pictures. Some of my best close-up opportunities to look at animals occurred while in the car. He talked about the agriculture, the school system, and the different rainforests. He even bought plantain chips from the side of the road and shared them with my family. Even though his job was to drive us from point A to point B, I felt his knowledge and his ability to spot animals was better than many of the tour guides we had on the trip. He really cared about Costa Rica and was excited to show us all it had to offer.

I highly recommend this travel company. And ask for our driver to drive you around; you won't be disappointed.

Zicasso’s tour operator and his team planned the perfect vacation for our family (two teenagers and two adults).

It was the perfect combination of adventure, exploration, and water time, along with having all our needs attended to! It was great to have a detailed plan with pick-ups and drop-offs so we just had to show up on time!

The girls loved the private surf lessons, my husband enjoyed his fishing expedition, and we all loved our snorkeling tour and the sunset catamaran.

The accommodations and restaurant recommendations were wonderful, making this one of our favorite vacations! The planning, communication, and logistics were executed flawlessly. We sincerely appreciate all their work and expertise. We hope to use them again, as we plan to return!

Zicasso's travel agents did an awesome job listening to our travel preferences and crafting an unforgettable trip for our family. We received several options for accommodations and experiences from their trusted partners, which were all incredible. Their team thought of everything and frequently checked in on us throughout the trip, providing dining recommendations and suggestions for slight changes in the travel schedule.

It was so nice to enjoy the trip and to know all of the details had been meticulously thought through and were managed behind the scenes. There was something for all of us: adventure, history, unforgettable experiences (swimming with sharks and sea turtles, reeling in lots of big fish, the ATM cave and Monkey River, and the private island resort we stayed at were all highlights!).

This was our first extended family trip and our first trip to Costa Rica. There were seven of us – four adults and three young adults. We were traveling in memory of my father-in-law, who died the previous year. We wanted a balance of rainforest and beach, exploration and relaxation. Zicasso’s trip planner was amazing – hands down the best travel agent I have ever worked with. From our first 45-minute Zoom call to the updates to the itinerary to in-country dinner reservations, it was perfect. The transportation, venues, guides, and resorts were top-notch. For our next trip to Costa Rica, we will be in touch with our agent again! I would recommend him to anyone looking to travel.
