Our Costa Rica Travel Specialists

Zicasso’s travel company was exceptional for our first trip to Costa Rica. We visited five destinations and all were well planned, with comfortable accommodations. We met very friendly people and took lots of memorable photos. Any questions we had were resolved immediately and with ease. It was a very wonderful experience. Thank you so much for the care and consideration.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was a delight to deal with. From the first contact to the last, she was responsive, listened to what we wanted, and smoothed our path completely. I started arranging something like this last year and gave up because it was complicated – transits, arrivals, tours, guides, the whole thing was overwhelming. But not this time. And we really appreciate all her efforts to tailor the trip to our interests and style.
The accommodation was almost over the top, but much enjoyed. We toured two Mayan ruin sites, Tikal and Caracol, and the contrast was just what we were curious about. They are very different, but both gave us an overview of Mayan history. Our guides and drivers were fantastic. We did bird watching, a cooking class, and had great food at our lodge. We then transferred to Ambergris Caye and she included everything from a golf cart to fishing and diving. Wherever we went, people were friendly, and helpful.
Before we went, we were a little concerned about mosquitoes in the tropics and we came prepared, but I think we saw two the entire trip. In short, we loved Belize.
As a further recommendation, my husband was thoroughly impressed with the fishing charter company. The guide was a true expert, showing him how to catch an unfamiliar species and taking him to just the right spots. The dive company was similarly professional and a pleasure to work with.
The only thing I might have changed was where we were on Ambergris Caye. Sargassum is a real problem in the Caribbean and has been for a few years. Our lodge on Ambergris Caye, though lovely accommodation, was on the windward side of the island and so had a blanket of rotting weed on the shore. There is little the resort can do about this, but staying on the leeward shore would minimize this problem.

The trip was very well planned and really enjoyable. Our Zicasso travel specialist was very communicative before and during our trip. Everything we booked was well worth it and went smoothly. Our driver to and from the airport, as well as for hotel transportation, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and made our drives fun. Each hotel we stayed at was amazing, with great views and staff.

The trip and the service from this travel company were perfect. The whole family enjoyed every part!
I would highly recommend this travel company for your Costa Rica adventure and Zicasso for anywhere else in the world.

Excellent arrangements, everything was on time. Tours were handled by efficient companies. Hotels were all four-star, as promised.

Everything was excellent. I'd recommend a couple of things. First, either pick up later or let clients know they will arrive at the next hotel several hours before check-in. Suggest ways to fill that time as the client will be surprised and not have planned anything, as was the case with us at La Fortuna and Playa Hermosa.
Directions were unclear once we got off the boat heading to La Fortuna. Expected someone to be holding a sign or looking for us specifically. Instead, we had to frantically search for the hotel name and ask a bus driver if he was supposed to take us there.

Friendly people and a beautiful country. We really enjoyed seeing so many different places.

Very rarely have I ever given a five-star review, but in this case, I had no choice. The service was just what you'd want in a travel partner. I very much appreciated the excellent communication and resolution of problems as they arose.
