Mediterranean Travel Agents & Reviews

What a great trip! Zicasso’s tour operator and her people laid out everything so wonderfully! They were with us every step of the way. From great tours to fantastic restaurants to top-notch hotels, they planned all of it to perfection. They even had the trains planned, including the switch in Paris from one station to the other.

Our trip started out on a negative note with a delayed luggage issue that was not the fault of the tour company, but still caused some stress. Airline delays have made all of our travel this year uncomfortable.

My wife and I were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary, so we are not young, but are pretty fit and capable for our ages. If I had it to do over, I would have relaxed the pace a bit. That being said, all our drivers and guides were personable, knowledgeable, and friendly.

The tours were interesting, although the ones on Sicily were a little redundant since they were all based on the history of multiple conquerors and cultures.

The schedules were all on time and never rushed.

Our Zicasso agent was great and even called to check on Ruth when she heard she took a fall at Pompeii.

Our trip was to Istanbul. We spent five full days there. Our Zicasso travel specialist did an amazing job. Every detail was thought through and last-minute requests were handled very quickly and very well.

We had a marvelous, very knowledgeable private guide who knew a great deal about history, architecture, and local culture, just as we had requested. We visited all the major sights in great depth: the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, spice market, and much more, then added on a few, like the Basilica Cistern and a later mosque by the architect of the Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent. Our guide was very flexible and focused on our interests. Lunch was included every day and no matter where we were, our guide was able to find a great choice, with local food, as we wanted, and with air conditioning, which was pretty important given the temperatures were in the high 80s at peak.

On that note, our agent’s team was able to help us out by getting private transportation at a discounted price when the extra walking in the heat needed to use public transportation started to trigger my migraines. Overnight, his team arranged private transportation for us, which really saved the trip for me.

Overall, I highly recommend our agent and his team for a trip to Turkey. The excellence of the arrangements, our amazing guide, and the quick response to last-minute issues make me confident they would be an outstanding choice for anyone.

Zicasso’s tour planner took care of coordinating phase three of our European tour, which was 15 days in Spain, staying in four cities there. I found our agent to be efficient, professional, attentive, and helpful when issues arose. Some did not require his attention or were of a nature that there was little he could practically do, but he was always willing to assist if we requested him to do so. He coordinated our hotels, guides, events, and inter-city travel (train/plane), and his booking of trains in a way that we could cancel was helpful when we decided to fly between Granada and Barcelona instead of taking the train. The guides he selected in each city were excellent and informative, and made our tours interesting in their own individual ways.

It was a pleasure to collaborate with Zicasso’s tour company in planning and executing our recent 10-day trip to Italy. Our agent was easy to work with in helping execute our desires to have a relaxing and meaningful experience. She helped me to take care of every detail, from meal reservations to excursions and recommendations, to ensure our trip would leave us with memories of a lifetime. Even when we arrived, if there were any issues, the team was very responsive, and this continued until we arrived home. I cannot recommend them enough if you want to truly relax and trust someone with the details.

Our trip was amazing. Zicasso’s travel team provided excellent accommodations and resources for us. All our excursions were top-notch. Last minute, they even added a wheelchair to the mix. I would highly recommend them.

We recently had a wonderful trip to Scotland and Ireland, and Zicasso’s tour company did an amazing job in helping us plan it. They were so easy to work with and really took the time to understand our goals and interests for the trip. The result was an amazing itinerary that was flawlessly executed.

They helped us combine a unique blend of experiences that were important to us on this trip. These included sightseeing and cultural experiences, as well as outdoor activities like fly fishing and horse riding!

Our trip had many moving parts which were all executed perfectly. Every tour guide and driver was prompt, professional, and fun to be around. The company provides you with an amazing app that outlines every detail of your trip – daily itinerary, names of guides, dinner reservations and recommendations, tickets to attractions, and even links to your airlines. It's super-easy to use and truly takes the guesswork out of things so you can just relax and enjoy your vacation. We highly recommend this company for any trips you may be looking to plan in the future!

Zicasso's travel partner planned the most seamless, stress-free trip for us! From start to finish, communication was efficient and thorough, and the detailed itineraries and app made everything easy to follow. 

The drivers were punctual, professional, and friendly, while the guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging. Every experience, from exploring Mont Saint-Michel to a cooking class in Paris, felt personalized and special. The hotels ranged from cozy and welcoming to unique and luxurious, with standout service. 

Our travel partner’s attention to detail and passion for his work were evident throughout. We can't wait to plan our next adventure with him!
