France Travel Agents & Reviews

The Zicasso tour operator was a joy to work with. She managed all the moving parts of our itinerary and made sure the things we wanted to see were open on the days we were there. She chose four very French hotels that were perfectly located. She was very detail-oriented and responsive to all of our requests and suggestions. She made sure we had everything worked out before we left, leaving nothing to chance. Her dinner suggestions were excellent and she made the reservations for us.

The trip was good. The tour was very well organized. It was a very good experience overall.

All the tour guides were very good, especially the guides for the food tour and for Cannes, Antibes, and St. Paul de Vence.

Please advise future customers that Cannes parking is very difficult and the guide doesn't have time to spend with clients due to the distances between parking places and those of interest.

The wine tasting was not a good experience. We had two people in the tasting room who barely spent time explaining the wines we were offered and didn’t know what we had already tasted. The tasting room was overcrowded. The food that was to be provided after we completed the wine tasting was forgotten.

After this hectic tasting, we were asked to wait, then join a group of 30!!! for a winery tour. This was not appropriate for a private tour and our guide was not around to help with this experience.

One of the restaurants in Nice should not be on the recommended restaurants list. The food was not good. The other two were very good.

We had a better trip than we could have imagined!! The planning process with Zicasso's travel partner was so easy, and after just a few conversations, we were able to get everything booked.

The hotels and activities planned for us were absolutely perfect. The app with our day-by-day itinerary and train tickets made everything so easy and stress free.

I would recommend booking with our travel agency 10/10, and we will be doing so again! I really believe they connected us with local guides who were better than we would have known how to find on our own. The most kind, genuine, friendly, and knowledgeable people took us on our guided tours in the Loire Valley and Champagne region. I can't recommend their services enough!

The overall trip was fabulous.

The three hotels were amazing – luxurious, spacious rooms, and extremely attentive and helpful staff. The hotels in Amsterdam and Bruges were the two nicest international hotels in which we've ever stayed. The staff at both were totally wonderful.

Most of the drivers and guides were exceptional. In particular, the World War I battlefield guide, our Amsterdam driver, and our Antwerp guide were terrific.

Three areas of possible improvement:

First, our Eurostar train from Amsterdam to Antwerp, where we connected to the Bruges train, was more than one hour and 10 minutes late. As a result, we had to take a later train to Bruges. The Zicasso travel agent informed us that the driver scheduled to pick us up in Bruges had another commitment and we should take a taxi. At the Bruges station, we waited in a taxi queue for 45 minutes, during which time only one taxi came. The young man responsible for maintaining the queue walked off the job, apparently sensing the hopelessness of the situation. We decided to walk the mile to the hotel. Halfway there, the rains came.

More generally, navigating European train stations by ourselves, at our age, with a significant amount of luggage, was a real challenge. The stations are far more automated than US rail stations and hence there are few people to ask for help. Someone should be made available to your travelers to assist with the process and the transfers within the stations.

Second, at times, the pace of the schedule was overly ambitious.

Third, at the very beginning of the process, the travel agency totally ignored and blew past our specified spending limits. Admittedly, my expectations for the cost of the trip were unrealistically low. However, when this became apparent, the agent should have communicated the issue directly. Instead, he ignored the limits and designed a trip that cost multiple times the limits I specified. This led to frustration and contention, and almost ended the trip-planning process.

Thanks to Zicasso, we enjoyed an absolutely perfect vacation in la belle France. From the moment we were met at the airport to being dropped off for our return flight, the whole trip was fabulous.

We loved exploring the charming villages and experiencing the beauty of the countryside. The food (edible culture) was delicious.

The Zicasso tour operator listened to our wish list and created the perfect itinerary to match our interests.

Our driver executed the itinerary beautifully. He made adjustments when he realized we preferred exploring smaller, lesser-known villages. He maintained his calm demeanor even when navigating tight streets and traffic, so we were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. He gave us so many wonderful memories!

It was, overall, a great experience from start to finish. The Zicasso travel company helped me put together a jam-packed trip to London and Paris without being overwhelmed with the schedule. If I tried to plan too much in a day, they would suggest other options to "get it all in". We had the best tour guides set up for us in both places. They were always a text chat away on the app and quick to respond. We had very few hiccups!! (You have to expect a hiccup here and there. Ours were minimal and not even noticeable.) We highly recommend our travel company.

The hotel was immaculate, beautiful, and comfortable. It was in a good location. The service at the hotel was excellent. Zicasso’s guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant (which was important because we spent so much time with her). She was very accommodating and helpful throughout the trip. The drivers were punctual and professional. The cars were spotless. Everything ran smoothly.

My sister and I had a wonderful trip! We used Zicasso's travel agent to plan it. From the beginning, all our questions were answered and they offered suggestions along the way.

Everything was planned out for us, including private and small group tours. Transportation, if needed, was all arranged. Directions and maps were provided, if needed, along with any tickets for trains and tours.

All our hotels were conveniently located and we were within walking distance from restaurants, shops, and metro systems. We really appreciated that.

I highly recommend this travel company and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. I can’t thank them enough for planning our trip, which has provided so many lasting and priceless memories!
