Our New Zealand Travel Specialists

Zicasso’s travel agent did a fabulous job. There were a lot of moving parts and every detail was thought through and implemented flawlessly. Her overall itinerary for us made perfect sense and her choice of hotels/lodges was excellent.

Our trip to Australia was incredible! Zicasso's tour operator put together a very thoughtful, well-paced itinerary. Our transportation always met us on time and with a good attitude. We enjoyed the diversity of experiences curated for our stay.
They took our bucket-list items and created an itinerary that allowed us to see almost every one! We were grateful to have a tour of the Historic Rocks in Sydney, a boat cruise harbor tour, watch "Carmen" at the Sydney Opera House, take a sunset camelback ride in the desert to see Ayers Rock, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, and get a private tour of a wildlife habitat (this was so special because we got to interact with some of the animals and learn from their keepers directly).
The only occasion on which I wish we'd had more time to spend was at Kuranda Village! There was so much to do and see, but we had an Army Duck tour and Aboriginal experience booked, which I really enjoyed because we got to ride through the jungle and enjoy performances from the Pamagirri community. Taking the Skyrail up and the train down was also a sight to see.
We enjoyed the intimate nature of tours, allowing us to ask questions about history, architecture, and daily life, and engage with our tour guides in a meaningful way. Highly prefer this style of private/small tours to the bigger bus tours. Our accommodations were impressive--from the luxurious hotel on George Street in Sydney to the desert resort in Uluru to the lodge on Captain Cook Highway in Port Douglas! We got to experience a range of climates. There was never a dull moment.
Even though the itinerary seemed jam-packed, we had just the right amount of time to rest and reset between activities and travel. Having such a detailed and professionally done itinerary gave us real peace of mind. The coordination of hospitality was also impeccable. Our hotels always communicated seamlessly with our pre-arranged transportation and tours. The trip was fun and totally stress-free! We were constantly delighted and charmed by this country and its people.

Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team designed a fabulous trip for us and we felt supported and cared for throughout the whole experience, from planning through completion of a most amazing trip.

We just returned from an incredible 14-day trip to Australia and New Zealand, and I cannot recommend Zicasso's travel company highly enough. From our very first conversation, our travel specialist and the team made the entire process seamless, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable.
We had a lot of our own ideas and specific requests for the itinerary, and our travel specialist listened carefully, offered excellent suggestions based on her deep knowledge of both countries, and incorporated everything we wanted, while balancing pacing, logistics, and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. The result was a perfectly tailored trip that felt personal rather than "off the shelf."
Every detail was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed:
Transfers, internal flights, and ground transportation all ran exactly on schedule.
The accommodations were outstanding. Each was perfectly located and true to what we had discussed.
The activities and tours were well chosen and professionally arranged, with the right mix of guided experiences and free time for us to explore independently.
Nothing was left to chance, yet the trip never felt rigid. We experienced the perfect blend of iconic highlights (Great Barrier Reef, Milford Sound, etc.) and special moments that made the journey uniquely ours. There were zero hiccups, just one smooth, memorable adventure after another.
Our travel specialist's attention to detail, responsiveness, and warm professionalism made all the difference. She went above and beyond to ensure everything exceeded our expectations.
If you're considering a trip to Australia and/or New Zealand, do yourself a favor and book with this travel company. We couldn't be happier with the experience and will definitely be using them again for future travels.
Thank you, our travel specialist and the entire team! Highly, highly recommended.

We have so many wonderful things to say about our trip and how Zicasso’s travel company did so well with our itinerary, all of our logistics, our tours, and handling questions during the trip. Everyone we spoke with at the travel company was wonderful.

Zicasso’s tour company planned a wonderful, month-long trip for four of us in New Zealand and Australia. Every detail was covered and the pacing of the trip, although rigorous, allowed for appropriate downtime when needed.
The accommodations were very nice, providing a nice mix of four- and five-star boutique hotels, as well as a luxury splurge, all within our budget. When we requested a couple of last-minute changes to our itinerary, the travel company responded quickly and efficiently. The app was a bit confusing at first, but quickly became our go-to resource and the in-app messaging service worked well after hours and on weekends. Looking back, we wouldn't change a thing. It was all wonderful!

This was truly a trip of a lifetime. The trip that was tailored for us by Zicasso’s travel company, from the pre-trip planning to our final ride homeward, was nothing short of superb.

Zicasso's travel specialist was very easy to work with, offering clear and fast communication! We would definitely travel with this company again.
