Lucas and entire team at the travel agency did a wonderful job organizing our trip to Peru and Argentina.On the planning phase, I worked with three different travel agencies besides this one, but this itinerary was the most creative and really designed based on my specific requests, unlike others who tried to sell me standard itinerary for the destinations.Communication during the planning phase was smooth and all my requests were thoroughly discussed and addressed.During the trip we reached out to Lucas many times with different questions and requests. The response was immediate, Lucas was very patient and did everything to make us happy.Itinerary offered to us was well balanced, contained  very different types of activities and well coordinated with the local vendors.Thanks Lucas and the travel agency for the great experience and memories which will stay with us forever.Job very well done!

We found Zicasso online and they referred us to this travel company. Oxana from the agency got to know us and what we were looking for during several conversations. She then put together a custom trip for us. She really listened and understood our needs. Every single detail was thought of and taken care of. The hotels in Punta Arenas and Castro were perfect ! The experience at the hotel in Torres del Paine was extraordinary. I can’t begin to describe the unforgettable Torres del Paine national park. Patricia in the operations department kept in touch throughout the trip and made sure everything went smoothly. To the extent of messaging me at 11 PM on a Sunday night to make sure we boarded the ferry ok! The travel agency went above and beyond to ensure that our trip went smoothly.On our request we included 4 nights and 3 days on the Navimag ferry from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt which was delayed 2 days due to bad weather but was absolutely worth the wait!

I can't say enough about our recent trip to Ecuador. Working with this travel agency was a fantastic experience from the planning stage all the way through to the final day of the trip. Our agent put together the perfect independent tour for my husband and our two adult children. We stayed in a beautiful cloud forest resort and did some amazing day and night hikes to explore this area. Next was the exact type of Galapagos trip that I had requested. Very active, very immersive and we were able to see so many amazing things that we simply can't say enough great things about this part of our trip. We travel a lot however this trip was likely by far the best trip we have ever taken outside of a first day flight delay issue that our agent helped with as well

Alejandro from our travel company helped us arrange a trip for my 78-year-old father and my 2 sons to Argentina, Antarctica and the Falkland Islands. It perfectly met their desires, calendars and budget. Lots of pre-travel forms and doctors' approvals were needed by the excursion cruise line. Alejandro helped guide us through making the cruise arrangements and getting the paperwork correctly submitted on time. He was extremely responsive to all our needs and did an outstanding job at everything we would expect of a high-quality travel agent.But that was just the beginning. Many great travel agents can help plan a wonderful trip, but the very special ones are able to help when things go wrong or opportunities present themselves, and quickly make adjustments. Things started going wrong after the first leg of the trip. The connection in Dallas was delayed overnight so my Dad and sons were not able to check in with the cruise line’s travel agent in Buenos Aires the day before the cruise ship left from the southern tip of South America. Instead of having a day to tour Buenos Aires and follow the lead of the cruise line's travel agent to get to their charter flight, their flight from Dallas didn't arrive in Buenos Aires until after 1 a.m. the next day; exactly when Argentina’s World Cup Championship team arrived to a million fans swarming the airport and all roads to it.Alejandro anticipated the problem and arranged to have our guide meet our flight to ensure that my family got through airport construction and to the terminal where their charter was to depart from. My family didn’t know which of 2 airlines their charter was with or when it was leaving. Alejandro had tracked down and coordinated with the person in charge of getting cruise passengers from the city and onto the charter flights, so our guide could get my family checked in ahead of the others. The travel agent responsible for the other passengers for the cruise was stuck in traffic with them and was hours late getting to the airport. By the time they arrived, we had been checked in and were ready to go. My father is a very experienced traveler, but readily admitted he could not have found out where they needed to be and gotten there or found the cruise line’s travel agent without the assistance Alejandro arranged.  Alejandro's anticipation of the problem enabled my family to avoid massive stress and possibly to miss the connection to their once in a lifetime expedition.Then, the night before the return flight from Tierra Del Fuego to Buenos Aires, my family found out that their charter flight would leave much earlier than expected. My Dad and sons would have an 8-hour layover at the Buenos Aires Airport. Alejandro was able to arrange for our guide to take them on a tour of the city during their layover and get them back to the airport on time. Thus, through Alejandro’s great effort, my family got to see Buenos Aires which they missed doing earlier in their trip because of their flight delay in Dallas.  The bottom line is that my Dad and sons avoided stressful disasters and had the trip of a lifetime together thanks to Alejandro’s skill and determination to make it happen.

Our trip to Chile was an awesome and unforgettable experience! My group of 4 persons, two from the Caribbean and two from London. We’ve done a lot of previous tours but this was certainly one of the very best!My immediate contact at the travel agency was Ignacio (Nacho). Starting with our planning  and our wish list and the order of visits, I found that Nacho was quick to communicate and we had at least 3 planning conference calls and 5 versions of the itinerary just to make sure we were satisfied with the plans. Nacho arranged all the national flights and this was really excellent as we simply received the boarding passes and we’re taken to the various airports. Drivers were always on time so that despite being non- Spanish speakers visiting a Country for the first time, we never felt neglected or unsafe. Pick ups for transportation and for all the tours were always perfect.Our visit was Santiago/ Patagonia/ Atacama/ Wine Valley / Valparaiso & Viña Del Mar. We we’re excited to see the magnificent Torres des Paine and the glacial features in Lago Grey among the stunning landscapes.San Pedro de Atacama and the Salt Lakes, the Geysers and seeing Llamas, Guanacos, Vicuñas bird life and the autumn colors really majestic. Then the wine tours to Montes and then to Vik - splendid wines and gourmet food - what’s not to love about this place!Special special thanks to the travel agency, Nacho, the team, our faithful driver, our guides in Patagonia, Santiago and Valparaiso, and all the other drivers and guides - it’s a great team. I have no hesitation in recommending Chile as a great destination with these folks - 5 stars is totally deserved!

This tour company did an excellent job of understanding our needs and helping us every step of the way, from initial contact and throughout our trip.  They chose excellent drivers and guides, and continually checked in with us to make sure things were running smoothly.  When   we missed a connection because of a delayed flight they advised suppliers and rescheduled drivers and guides.  Special commendation to our agent who gave us months of personal attention and made it possible for us to get a taste of several regions during a short two week vacation and the travel specialist who met with us and acted as our  hostess for the trip.  I highly recommend both the trip planner and Zicasso for putting us in contact with them.  Shirley S.

We have recently finished a 19 day trip to Patagonia (Chile & Argentina) and Iguazu falls. Ezequiel helped us customize our trip. Pia, our destination host was extremely wonderful, responsive and available at anytime. Most of the local tour operators were good except transportation from Ushuaia airport to the hotel in a dirty old taxi. We have a mixed reviews of the hotels especially the hotel in Torres del Paine, all inclusive program which was not worth it. Food, excursions, attitudes of the staffs and some guides, customer service were below our expectation.  We like the Santiago hotel, the hotel in El Calafate and the hotel in El Chalten.We enjoyed the Trek to see Perito Moreno Glacier (amazing!), the Trekking & Canoeing, Off-roading in Ushuaia, the great adventure with the boat ride under the waterfalls. All of the tour guides were outstanding!Thank you to our travel team for the amazing trip!

This is our 7th or 8th trip with a Zicasso travel specialist. This time with this travel agency, visiting the lake region from Chile crossing the Andes into Argentina. What an experience! Beautiful!!!! The trip was flawless from beginning to end. The choice of hotels throughout exceeded our expectations in quality, service, experiences and excellent accommodations. Our guides were excellent professionals and accommodated the experiences to our interest and physical level. The transfers were always puntual and we had no setbacks whatsoever.Lastly we were always in contact with the team utilizing WhataApp as we progressed in our travels. We highly recommend this travel company.

Our impression of Chile is that it's simply a magical country- we loved learning about it. Very happy that we decided to just do Chile as opposed to combining it with another country. Our travel company was great in the beginning (Lucia provided us with good information and responded to our inquiries promptly). Once the trip was booked, it became a different story. Overall, we felt that throughout our travels we lacked support and attention from the agency. This evaluation is based entirely on our previous travel experiences.

Our travels through Chile and Argentina organized by our travel agency was amazing. We visited the Atacama Desert in the northern part of Chile. Then went on to Patagonia where we spent time doing some hiking and viewing the glaciers. It was a private tour and our accommodations were perfect for us. In smaller towns where we could wander around and observe the local life. Liked being able to stay multiple days in several places so we didn’t have to move everyday. Our guides were all very informative and accommodating.Ignacio and were always very prompt with their responses whenever we had a question before and during the trip.

Returned a few days ago but wanted to tell you we had a great time. everything was handled. we were met on time at every juncture. Unfortunately trip was exhausting. I did not realize the long distances we had to travel with almost no time just to stroll around neighborhoods. I know we asked to see a lot of things but would have appreciated more guidance, for example, I didn't realize how far Valparaiso was from Santiago or that the wineries were far from each other. In Mendoza, they were all in the same region. Maybe you could have suggested we needed a couple of more days or that we couldn't do central coastal Chile and Patagonia in same trip. If you had come to New York City, we would have told you shouldn't see a Broadway play and then try to go to Niagara Falls all in two or three days.Otherwise as we said, all guides and drivers came on time, tickets for buses and airlines were well handled and hotels were good although had very little time to enjoy.

Dear future Travelers, Zicasso matched me with this travel agency, a local company in Buenos Aires, and if I could give 6 stars, I would!We chose a tour visiting Buenos Aires, El Calafate, Iguazu Falls, and Santiago, Chile (we went in January which is summertime in Argentina- highly recommended). Working with Mariano to get our itinerary booked was a breeze, and everything was laid out professionally and clearly upon booking. He was personable and tailored the perfect trip for us! When we arrived to Buenos Aires, we had the pleasure of working with our guide who was our go to man for whatever we needed during our trip. He was responsive, ensuring we had our internal flight boarding passes on time, professional, and his intention was making sure we were having fun and staying safe! He provided some helpful tips as we traveled through Argentina and also helped us plan a few more excursions along the way.We traveled to the Perito Moreno Glacier, trekked in Patagonia to Fitz Roy, saw Iguazu falls from Argentina and Brazilian sides, went on a classy wine tour in Santiago Chile, and had city tours in Buenos Aries and Santiago. This itinerary was adventurous, colorful, jaw dropping and classy all in one! The travel company executed so well, and partners with such incredible local tour groups (the guides on all of our adventures were outstanding) and we really did not have one glitch! I will also say, from a price point, it was really reasonable for the amount of personal attention you receive from start to end. If you are looking to take a trip to South America, this is your company! It was honestly the trip of a lifetime!

Our trip had some good elements, and it had some not so good elements. Starting with the good, this travel company put us in hotels that were perfect for us. Each had a different character and different advantages, but all were wonderful. The hotel in Santiago was the best we’ve ever stayed in as we loved every last detail of that hotel. Also, the drivers and tour guides we had for our tours were generally quite good. 

The not so good elements arose partly because I hurt my knee and had trouble sitting for long periods of time, which I had to on one part of our tour, but also because from the beginning of the planning stages, Lucas didn’t always listen as well as we would have liked, and there were some problems with pacing during the trip. For example, at one point, we were scheduled to fly to the Atacama Desert and arrive at the airport at 12:30pm. From there we had to get on a bus and drive to town (which takes between 1-2 hours—2 hours for us that day because we got behind a convoy of oversized trucks) for a 3:00pm tour—then we had a 6:45pm stargazing tour. Then, in the morning, we started all over again at 9:00am. It was way too much and the scheduling was far too tight. Also, when we started planning the trip, I wanted to go to Easter Island, but Lucas told us it was a 6 hour flight to the island and suggested we could see more if we stayed on the mainland. It made sense in principle, but I should not have let myself been dissuaded. Going to the desert requires a 2 hour plane ride, 2 hour bus ride, then another few hours of driving from sight to sight to sight—there’s quite literally just as much travel involved as a trip to Easter Island. It was not worth the trade off, and I missed out perhaps my very top bucket list item (it was, in fact, originally the only reason we went to Chile on this trip). 

On the other hand, when there were problems, Lucas and his team were responsive and worked to fix them, which we did appreciate. After problems arose, especially with my knee injury, Lucas was able to alter our plans to accommodate them—and he even upgraded our experience in Mendoza in response to the problems in Chile, and, boy, was his upgrade a good one! 

In the end, our trip was a good one and our travel agency provided excellent service. I would recommend them especially for wine tours of Mendoza as that part of the trip was truly amazing. However, I found that many of the problems and frustrations we encountered from the early planning stages to the end of the trip could have been avoided with better and more consistent communication. During the trip, our communication with Lucas was quite good. During planning and in the months leading up to it, it was slow and inconsistent and this was, I believe, part of the frustrations we experienced during our trip.

Our trip was outstanding.  Let me say, we tried doing this trip last year 2022 along with a cruise.  We both got Covid and had to quarantine in Montevideo, Uruguay.  Undaunted we came back this year for a land trip only!!  Our agent Kieran did an outstanding job.  He helped us last year navigate through our experience and this year our 19 day itinerary was wonderful.  We started out at Iguazu Falls, went to Salta, Argentina, then Ushuaia, and portions of Patagonia including Tierra del Fuego.  From there we went to Chile and Puerto Natales.  Torres del Paine is amazing along with the fjords.  San Pedro de Atacama was other worldly.  I can't say enough good things about this trip!!  You won't be disappointed.  Kieran checked in with us during the trip to make sure things were going well.  What an unforgettable experience.  We met wonderful people along the way, the food was wonderful and we had great wine!!We had great accommodations the whole trip.  Really a great experience.

Our trip was outstanding.  Let me say, we tried doing this trip last year 2022 along with a cruise.  We both got Covid and had to quarantine in Montevideo, Uruguay.  Undaunted we came back this year for a land trip only!!  Our agent Kieran did an outstanding job.  He helped us last year navigate through our experience and this year our 19 day itinerary was wonderful.  We started out at Iguazu Falls, went to Salta, Argentina, then Ushuaia, and portions of Patagonia including Tierra del Fuego.  From there we went to Chile and Puerto Natales.  Torres del Paine is amazing along with the fjords.  San Pedro de Atacama was other worldly.  I can't say enough good things about this trip!!  You won't be disappointed.  Kieran checked in with us during the trip to make sure things were going well.  What an unforgettable experience.  We met wonderful people along the way, the food was wonderful and we had great wine!!We had great accommodations the whole trip.  Really a great experience.

The itinerary was crafted for myself and my son, in a way that allowed us to see so much of Chile with the emphasis of active sightseeing and hiking in Patagonia. The trip was well orchestrated. I always felt safe and knew where to be. Even more importantly, it was really really fun.
