Our New Zealand Travel Specialists

Zicasso’s travel specialist did a great job listening to us and planning the trip we wanted.

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 did an excellent job listening to what we wanted to do and making a great itinerary, with excellent hotels/lodging. They had a great online itinerary that showed each day’s activities, reminders, and links to maps and directions, as well as suggestions for restaurants. They were very helpful and accessible before and during the trip.

We had the most amazing honeymoon! We had a jam-packed schedule for our three-week trip and everything went incredibly smoothly. We loved all of the activities and tours that were planned by Zicasso's travel specialist. All the accommodations were great and met our expectations. We had the best trip and appreciate all of our travel specialist’s hard work planning it!

It was wonderful. Everything was excellent. The hotels were all very conveniently located close to bus stops and exciting areas to explore. It was seamless from the very first pickup at the airport.

It was amazing. Zicasso’s travel specialist planned the whole thing for us. It was absolutely seamless. All the accommodations, rental car, transfers, tours, and flights were perfect. It was a trip of a lifetime for us and it was magical. I even called the travel specialist a couple of times to ask a question and he was right there for us. His job wasn’t over until we returned home.
I can never thank him enough for such a fabulous experience! I would highly recommend this travel specialist. He is such a professional. We toasted him often while we were there! Here’s to you, our travel specialist!

The itinerary was awesome! We had a few snafus with hotel reservations, but they were quickly resolved. The tours were perfect and all private, with excellent guides. The pace made good use of the time we had and maximized seeing the most locations in our time frame. The hotels were beautiful (especially the one in Queenstown, WOW!) and the rooms were perfect for our needs (kitchens and laundry). It was so great having everything pre-booked and guided, as it allowed us to relax and enjoy the trip and not worry about logistics. It was a trip of a lifetime.
I would highly recommend this Zicasso travel agency! When traveling so far away, it made such a difference to have everything coordinated by a professional. I have had many people ask how we managed to do so much with the time we had. Now, I don't think I can travel any other way.

What a fabulous vacation we had in New Zealand, thanks to Zicasso and our tour operator.
For 21 days, we toured the beautiful North and South Islands, and at every stop, the accommodations were exceptional, the food superb, and the sights amazing. We were picked up at the exact time specified for every one of our tours and transportation rides by knowledgeable and helpful tour guides and drivers.
All of our travel needs, ferry rides, inter-island plane rides, and train trips went off without a hitch.
The itinerary set up for us by our travel specialists was excellent, as we were able to see, visit, and tour everything we had wanted to when we were planning our trip.
The sights we saw were second only to the kind and generous people of New Zealand who made us feel welcome at every stop. Kia ora.
