Our Egypt Travel Specialists

Zicasso’s travel specialist was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable, responsive, accessible, nurturing, and professional. We had a relatively short planning duration for our trip, so decisions were on an accelerated timeline, but she was on top of all of our dates and connections, required documents, etc. She answered so many of our questions and made so many recommendations. My aunt and I felt completely at ease, from the time we landed in Cape Town until we flew home.
The tours, drivers, lodging, and safaris that the travel specialist chose for us were perfect. I've already recommended her to a friend for a future trip and I recommend her to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip that is customized to your budget and timeframe.

We had an amazing trip, thanks to Zicasso’s tour company and our wonderful guides. We were able to customize our trip, so we had the opportunity to do everything we hoped to do and more.

When we originally planned to fulfill a lifelong dream and see Egypt, we went through a number of possibilities. We had never used a company like Zicasso, but in looking at reviews and wanting to make this an unforgettable experience, we elected to give them a try. They connected us with our tour operator and they worked with us to plan a spectacular 14-day journey. Simply put, our experience with both has exceeded our expectations—it was truly an unforgettable experience.
From the seamless service of being picked up at the airport and driven to our hotel, to the personalized service with the tour guides and Egyptologists, to the luxurious Nile cruise, to the splendid final three nights at our resort on the Red Sea, it was an unbelievably wonderful experience.
While it seemed expensive at first glance, in retrospect, it was worth every dollar spent and then some. I cannot be effusive enough in my praise for Zicasso and the tour operator. I highly recommend them to anyone who has dreamed of visiting Egypt and learning about the magnificent early history of this land. Five-plus stars; we would do it again in an instant. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. We are already on the cusp of planning our next trip—a safari—with this amazing company.

Zicasso’s travel specialist more than lived up to the many favorable reviews the company has earned. He was receptive and responsive to my requests and used the considerable input I offered to create an itinerary that translated my goals into an itinerary that was flawlessly executed. The drivers and guides assigned all were excellent, and the pampering we received from our arrival to our departure made all of our travel comfortable and seamless.
We were treated to some VIP extras that elevated our experiences and when we encountered a problem onboard the river cruise part of our trip, he and his staff were able to address them on short notice and on a weekend. It is perhaps conventional to tell a customer one is available 24/7, but that truly was the case with the travel company. When circumstances warranted altering the planned itinerary, it was accomplished deftly. This flexibility was much appreciated and truly helped make our trip even more memorable than initially anticipated.
We have friends who expressed their envy at our trip plans and their desire to visit Egypt. My wife and I certainly will share with them our thoughts and views about the wonderful services the travel company provides.

Overall, we had a wonderful trip. All of the locations were great and met our expectations. A few of our hotel accommodations could have been a little bit better, but overall, they met our needs. The tours and our guides were wonderful, very knowledgeable, and friendly.
The river ride in Seville, Spain, was the only activity that wasn't very good, as it seemed more like a boat ride versus a tour. Also, the communications with the travel company in Greece and Spain were excellent. They provided all the information we needed via text and WhatsApp.
We were very pleased with Zicasso’s travel specialist. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions.

Zicasso's travel designer was extremely helpful in crafting an itinerary and tweaking it based on our review feedback. Within the parameters of the available days, we did and saw what we wanted to and had a balance of scheduled program versus personal free time.
Guides and vendor partners: Our assigned guides for our trip were excellent and personable locals. They were great SMEs and also interesting people to get to know. The time spent with each guide added to the richness of the experience.
Services and servicing throughout the trip: From providing a digital itinerary app with our itinerary easily available, updated with airline boarding passes. Hiccups can happen with travel plans. The travel designer was always aware and tracking, and took proactive steps to final, alternative options. For example, our scheduled hot-air balloon got cancelled and he worked to find an alternative option for the next day, and we recovered. Similarly, when one of the hotel stays wasn't ideal (noise, poor air conditioning), we were given a much better option when we returned for the last stay before departure. Again, issues will come up; he took ownership and worked on our behalf to solve it and seek the best alternative option. We stayed in touch via chat and periodic phone check-ins.
Special and unique: Knowing that it was our anniversary trip, the travel designer added a couple of special treats at a couple of our stays, which we appreciated.
In total, this resulted in a stress-free, highly enjoyable bucket-list trip to Türkiye. Our travel specialist was the best choice to help us experience Türkiye via sights, sounds and taste. I would highly recommend this tour partner. They were very professional, highly accountable, and responsive. Great people all around to deliver a personalized travel experience.
