Top Luxury Travel Agents & Tour Companies

I have never used a tour company before so I was not sure what to expect, but the travel designer of this travel company was so quick to respond to my questions and I knew I was in good hands early on. I told my designer I was a single female traveler and what cities I wanted to go to and the timing. This was all in the middle of the pandemic, I was hoping my March 2022 wasn’t too bold of an expectation for the world to begin to open up again. We made a few tweaks to the itinerary and it was set, very simple and I’m not sure we ever even had to speak on the phone! I told him I preferred e-mail and he respected that. The trip was for sure a once of a lifetime experience. Every moment was a photograph! It was 15 days of perfection, and it was all times out very well. The driver and guides I met were all wonderful and kind. I could go on and on but I will just say it was a fantastic vacation. 

We loved working with a local, eco-friendly travel company for our week-long trip to Rio de Janiero and the Amazon.  Our travel designer was able to provide us with answers to all our questions, as well and provide top-notch drivers, guides and hotels. We were met at the airport by a driver and a guide who spoke great English, transferred to a great hotel (and room) overlooking Copacabana Beach -- and the travel designer had arranged for us to check in to our room at 7 am!  After an overnight flight, this was very much appreciated.We kept the same driver and guide later that day for a leisurely tour of the Botanical Garden and Park Luje. A lovely way to de-stress after a long, long day of travel. We were suppose to do a helicopter tour late this afternoon, but when the clouds rolled in to cover the views, our guide made alternate plans for the next morning.  Again we were promptly picked up by the same driver and guide, and taken directly to the heliport for a fantastic helicopter tour (arranged by our designer, of course). Then we were taken to a clinic for Covid tests (required to stay in the Amazon) on our way to the airport to catch our flight.The travel designer arranged all flights & transfers: Rio to Manaus, overnight stay, then Manaus to Tefe where we had a transfer by boat to our Amazon lodge. The small lodge she recommended was delightful.  At the end of our stay she arranged for boat transfer and airline flights with all the necessary transfers. We were delighted to have booked thru our travel designer because she made sure all our guides and transfers had English speakers, which were immensely helpful in hotel and airport check ins, etc.The travel company made our trip stress free and allowed us to see, experience, and learn so much about Brazil thanks to her knowledge and her staff's quality assistance. We would highly recommend the travel company and won't hesitate to use them again for our next trip to Brazil. 

Sara was the best, she listened to exactly what I wanted and that is the way she planned it.Every place was exactly the perfect place I wanted to stayI did a lot on my trip from Gorilla trekking in Ugunda to southern TanzaniaEverything was perfectly planned and everyone at the lodges in Tanzania made sure I had the best experienceIt was a childhood dream of mine to visit Africa and she made it come true, and it was more amazing then I ever could of imagined!!! I can't wait to call them and set up my next trip!

Wow. All I can say is WOW. If you're thinking of going to Cuba, GO. If you need a travel planner, use this company. It will be among the most memorable and excellent trips of your life. My daughter and I just returned from 9 days in Cuba. It was truly a life-changing experience. We genuinely got a deep immersion into the culture, the people, the country and the amazing things it has to offer. The agenda put together by this travel team was spectacular. We visited a tobacco farm and learned how to roll cigars and how to smoke them, we had a session with the young dancers at a Dance school, had Cuban cooking lessons, visited an organic farm, a mosaic city, hiked into the rain forest, visited museums and learned so much. I am truly only scratching the surface. The food was AMAZING - far better than I expected. Prepare to skip or share meals because there is so much delicious food. The accommodations were excellent - in family homes but with private baths, breakfast and comfortable surroundings. But the best part of the trip was the excellent partnership planning by the travel planner (and her extremely knowledgeable son). I don't think I ever emailed my planner where she didn't respond within 10 minutes and was ALWAYS flexible in accommodating our needs. Here advice was priceless and I felt so safe with her plans and style. And...I can't say enough about our guide and our driver. They were with us the entire trip, always with a smile, a helpful hand, super flexible and just plain good fun. It made all the difference. Cuba is not an easy trip. The distances are far and the infrastructure is difficult. But don't let that stop you. You can have the best of both worlds through this travel team. Immerse in Cuba but at a comfort level you're used to in the U.S. Be prepared for long distances in a '53 Chevy or the like. There is no other way to see the country. DON'T limit yourself to Havana. We loved Trinidad and Vinales so much. Be flexible...the restroom situation is not like the U.S. but with a little flexibility you can manage that. We didn't drink tap water but bottled water was very accessible and reasonable. The food is unbelievable. Bring good walking shoes, layers for unexpected weather and a flexible attitude. Listen before you "tell". You'll hear the Cuban perspective which is why you're there!!  AMAZING!!! 

Our vacation to Italy, Turkey and Greece was amazing, the travel designer at this travel agency did a great job of planning our itinerary with having very little time to work with due to our last minute decision to travel because of covid 19, we managed to see all of the major sites and still had enough free time to enjoy some leisure time on our own. I would recommend this travel agency and Zicasso to anyone who would like to enjoy a worry free vacation. 

Our travel agency was an amazing company to work with, and Ivana, in particular went out of her way to be welcoming. Every hotel was centrally located, every guide was so knowledgeable and every driver so pleasant to be with. We learned so much about the history and culture in each city we visited, Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik. My husband had suffered a foot injury just before our trip and each guide maintained a pace that made our walks leisurely with no stress whatsoever. Everyone we encountered on this trip was a pleasure to be with. I just can't say enough about what a wonderful trip this company created for us. I will highly recommend Zicasso and our travel agency to all of my friends.

Marcus is a treasure!  He listened to everything I asked for and delivered.  Every decision he made in terms of lodging was exceptional! He was truly an expert on what we should anticipate making it an almost seamless trip.   The travel team in Morocco starting with our local travel agent, our driver to our tour guide provided quality service.  Every aspect of our trip was memorable.  Money well spent!

Our travel company was amazing. The owners were at the airport to greet us upon our arrival and helped us get settled in our hotel. They arranged for us to have the same driver and guide throughout our time in Portugal. By the end of the trip, we felt like family. The guide helped us negotiate the Covid tests for our return trip by contacting the pharmacy and setting up the testing appointments and then accompanied us to be sure that there were no problems with communication. The itinerary was lovely. We visited an olive plantation, a cork factory, a 100 year-old vineyard and a port wine lodge. We learned so much about each of these products. We also visited numerous castles, cathedrals and monasteries and the beautiful towns in which they were located. The company scheduled boat rides on three different occasions, on a catamaran in Lisbon, a moliceiro boat in Aveiro and a boat ride on the Douro river.All in all it was a trip we (all eight of us) will never forget.
