France Travel Agents & Reviews

Our travel company provided us with a vacation that exceeded all our expectations. We worked with Zicasso’s team to create a wonderful itinerary that was tailored to meet our every desire, from the private driver, four- and five-star hotels, extremely knowledgeable tour guides, and visits to sites that created an amazing trip.

We visited Monet Gardens, Normandy, the Loire Valley, and the Bordeaux region in seven days to get a real sense of France and its people, the historic sites, and the vineyards, all while experiencing fabulous cuisine.

Thank Joel and your team for planning the most fantastic trip to France for my husband and me. Everything was planned perfectly, which allowed us to get up each day and enjoy experiencing something new. The itinerary was put together thoughtfully, making sure we got to see the things that were important to us with minimal extra travel.

The trips and the guides were fantastic. The hotels were strategically chosen within walking distance to town or interesting sites, and based on the type of hotels we prefer to stay in. We really appreciate how easy you made the trip for us with the daily itinerary and booking cars to the train stations so we knew we were going to the right place at the right time.

It was also a nice touch to remember us on our anniversary with gifts to our room. So thoughtful. Thank you!

This was our second trip coordinated by Zicasso’s travel agency and we cannot recommend the team enough. They're very knowledgeable about France and have usually visited recommended properties and sites in person so they can help explain, in reliable detail, what to expect. Also, they are easy to reach with any issues or questions.

Our previous trip was to Paris. This time, we took our family (two adults and two kids under 10) to Provence. We stayed in St Remy de Provence. The town was very lovely, an excellent base from which to explore other villages in the region.

I'd suggest renting a car if coming from Marseille. Driving around this region is not stressful at all. The suggested activities, including e-bikes to Les Baux de Provence, Cassis, wineries, hiking the Ochre Trail outside Roussillon, and Gordes, were all fantastic.

In summary, working with our travel company has been a pleasure both times and we will reach out to them again for future France vacations.

Thanks to our travel agency for providing my husband and me with the trip of a lifetime to England and Scotland in September. Our 24-day trip, mainly with private guides and chauffeurs through these two amazingly beautiful countries, provided us with memories we will cherish for a lifetime.

Zicasso’s partners did an outstanding job of providing us with a wonderful itinerary featuring many tourist destinations and very special lesser-known sites. We thank you for listening to our wish list and being mindful of our ages and occasional limitations, along with our finances, to provide us with a detailed, efficient schedule each day. They left nothing to chance and addressed every possible detail, making our trip effortless and relaxing.

The tour guides and chauffeurs were top-notch and went beyond normal expectations to address any of our wishes. They used luxury vehicles that were immaculately kept and were professionally dressed at all times. It was such a pleasure working with them and we would recommend all of them highly.

We greatly appreciated that from the very beginning of our travel plans, our travel company was in constant contact with us with details about our trip, as well as being "on call" constantly during our vacation, which was of great comfort to us.

Our accommodations were outstanding.

We were thrilled with our trip and the outstanding planning and customer service provided by our travel team. We recommend them highly to assist with your travel adventures and give them the highest rating.

Eric planned the perfect holiday in France. Our driver was waiting for us on arrival. Off to Normandy for our first three nights, with a quick stop at Monet's garden at Giverny. Our guide brought the water lilies to life. We checked in at an amazing five-star hotel. Do not miss either of their two Michelin-star restaurants. It's a short walk into Port-en-Bessin-Huppain, where you will find many restaurants. We spent two days exploring everything Normandy and World War 2 with an exceptional guide.

Paris did not disappoint. We hit the ground running. Eric arranged a tour of Paris by car. The evening dinner cruise on the River Seine was definitely a highlight of the trip, as were beautiful views of the city lit up at night, including the Eiffel Tower. I had no idea how beautiful the Palace and Gardens of Versailles are - the restaurant on-site by the lake with rowboats is wonderful. Of course, the guide matters - she was the best! If you're a foodie, make sure you schedule a cooking class with our chef. Shopping at the local markets is an adventure in itself. I've been able to recreate the meal back in the States.

We chose to explore the Champagne houses on this trip. Both were exceptional and yes, we brought home four bottles. In between houses, we had the most wonderful lunch with a champagne flight at Au 36 in Hautvillers. A trip to Paris would not be complete without visiting the Louvre and Orangerie museums. We completed our holiday with a flute of champagne at the top of the Eiffel Tower! 

Eric and the guides made perfect restaurant recommendations. I most definitely recommend him and the travel agency!

 

Thank you to Zicasso for pairing us with our travel agency and their representative, who was wonderful and attentive. She checked in on us during the trip and surprised us with complimentary champagne for our 30th anniversary! She made sure everything during our 14 days around London, Jersey (an English Channel Island), Normandy, and Paris was very smooth, with professional tours, private drivers, and seamless connection points.

We couldn't have asked for better private and small-group guides, and I highly recommend them all. The guide in London was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and flexible while showing us around Soho and downtown. Another guide gave us background on past and present events for the tour of Windsor Castle. He was hilarious and an absolute treasure. Our other guide was a fantastic historian and showed us around Mont St. Michel on its 1,000th anniversary. Another guide took us on the most delicious Normandy cheese, cider, and Calvados tour, educating us on the processes. Our Giverny guide got us into Monet's Garden early, before the crowds, allowing for gorgeous pictures. Lastly, our St. Germain Secret Food tour guide took us to a Basque restaurant, where food and wine were so good you never want to leave.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to France. Sabine was very easy to communicate with during the planning stages prior to my departure, and that line of communication with her, online and by telephone, continued while I was in France.

The tour guides I had in Paris and Bordeaux were excellent, and the wine tours were exactly what I expected. Of note was that during our time in Paris, the king and queen of England were in France. However, Sabine went to work rescheduling tours to avoid any conflicts with the royal visit.

Sabine made every effort to plan the trip exactly how I wanted it. She did provide suggestions and recommendations along the way, and I did listen.

The travel agency planned and executed a wonderful trip to Paris for my adult son and me. The accommodations were stellar and the Mercedes transportation was comfortable and prompt. The tour guides, drivers, and shop owners were well-informed and happy to share all aspects of this beautiful city. 

This company was far above many other travel/tour agencies. It was expensive. However, money well spent! Travel and see the world with Zicasso... you won't regret it!
