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.

The travel agency did a great job understanding what trip we wanted and made great recommendations on things to do for our free time. This trip was geared around wine and clearly they know all the good spots in France. Communicating with them was easy through email and the iphone app was a great way to follow along with each itinerary.

Our honeymoon trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar was nothing short of the best trip of my entire life. Everything about this trip was spectacular and our travel company was very helpful throughout the process. We were helped by Andre. Not only was he very helpful and enthusiastic, but he also was very responsive, especially for two people who were very stressed in the middle of wedding planning. He never waited for more than 24 hours to respond, which is fairly quick. I did not have to call him at all throughout our whole trip because it was very well planned and all the information necessary was provided prior to us going. Since I have been back, I have not stopped talking about using Zicasso to plan trips and I also have not stopped talking about going on a safari. Overall, if you have the money to spend and are off from work in early February....GO TO THE SERENGETI! It's a once in a lifetime experience. Our private driver was absolutely amazing! So experienced and he took care of us very well.Zanzibar was amazing! We stayed at a resort (probably the best resort on the island). We were in paradise! Food was great in Tanzania and Zanzibar!Again, best trip of our lives!

Our trip was great.  Paula gave us recommendations on what to see and we were able to make adjustments on a daily basis with our guides.  We only had tickets arranged for a few places ahead of time so our schedule was very flexible.  Our guide in Dublin and our guide in Belfast were both very knowledgeable about their cities.  Our guide in Dublin spent more than the allotted time showing us the city.   Our driver/guide for most of the trip was knowledgeable and clearly very enthusiastic about sharing Irish History. Unfortunately our time with him was cut short when he became ill.  Paula stepped up and was able to find last minute replacements for the two days we had left before reaching Belfast. The brothers who replaced him made the two days very pleasant. Our driver to Bru na Boinne and the airport was very pleasant.  All our accommodations and breakfasts were good. The staffs at all the accommodations were very friendly and pleasant. Having a driver/guide was a bit pricey but well worth it. We were both able to relax and enjoy the scenery and were shown areas we probably would not have found on our own while avoiding some of the busiest places.

We had an excellent trip to Peru! The travel company was able to work with us to evaluate different options for our trip. Also during the planning phase, there were questions around political unrest in the country, but the travel company founder spoke with us and talked through options and contingency planning, which we found very helpful. Ultimately the in-country situation improved, and we traveled to Peru. The trip was an incredible adventure and one we would certainly recommend to others.

We had an excellent trip – thanks to the efforts of the travel agency.During our planning process we found the agency to be super responsive and helpful. – Answering our questions promptly (on at least one occasion – within the hour!!) and, to finalize details, taking part in a Zoom meeting.We were looked after from arrival to departure. In particular we would mention seamless transfers to and from airports, excellent drivers, helpful and knowledgeable guides, efforts made to ensure we received what we had asked for at hotels and on the (very rare) occasion where an unexpected problem occurred, the speed with which a solution was found by the agency or our Guide. Arranging for us to have same Guide – for 14 days (Bogdagra arrival and departure) and Driver was an exceptionally good move. Guide and Driver were an excellent professional team, possessing an in depth knowledge of towns we stayed in (Darjeeling, Gangtok, Mangan, Lachung, Kalimpong), places we visited (too numerous to list!), and the very demanding mountain roads we travelled on, all requiring advanced driving skills which our driver possessed. We cannot thank these two enough for their efforts on our behalf.

We found Zicasso online and they referred us to this travel company. Oxana from the agency got to know us and what we were looking for during several conversations. She then put together a custom trip for us. She really listened and understood our needs. Every single detail was thought of and taken care of. The hotels in Punta Arenas and Castro were perfect ! The experience at the hotel in Torres del Paine was extraordinary. I can’t begin to describe the unforgettable Torres del Paine national park. Patricia in the operations department kept in touch throughout the trip and made sure everything went smoothly. To the extent of messaging me at 11 PM on a Sunday night to make sure we boarded the ferry ok! The travel agency went above and beyond to ensure that our trip went smoothly.On our request we included 4 nights and 3 days on the Navimag ferry from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt which was delayed 2 days due to bad weather but was absolutely worth the wait!

Jordan & Israel Anniversary Luxury Travel Review: Jerusalem, Tiberias, Petra, Wadi Rum, Cooking Class, Camel Ride, Private Tours

MY

Melony Y.
Apr 19, 2023
My husband and I decided to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary by a blow out trip to the Middle East -- something that has always been on our bucket list.  It was my task to search online; reading reviews, put out posts on Facebook for recommendations, etc.  Once I had a list of possible tour guides/companies I began to reach out.  We found Melanie with Zicasso and began discussing our plans and what we wanted to achieve.  For us, we wanted a customized trip that was private and flexible.  For our anniversary we didn't want to be on a big fat bus full of strangers dragging us all over Israel/Jordan.  Instead, Melanie found us private tours, private transfers, and customizable excursions and experiences that we specifically wanted -- PLUS recommended some things that we may be of interest to us.  Once we began finalizing the trip, we actually got an app that kept up with all our excursions and daily itinerary.  It also included documents that we needed to keep up with.  This app was very thorough and I appreciated access to it even offline.  There were things added to our trip (like private transfer from airport) that I wouldn't understand just how important until we needed them.  Melanie was a pleasure to work with and really had an awesome attitude and certainly exceeded our expectations.  We are already looking at next year's travel plans with Melanie/Zicasso.  I've used travel agencies in the past, but never had this level of detailed planning and service.  This trip made us feel VIP - from start to finish -- and you will be pleasantly surprised should you choose to use this travel service - and Melanie.

After two years we finally made our 40th wedding anniversary trip to Italy. It was awesome. I have used many travel agencies in the past, but this was truly one of the best plan trips I’ve ever been on in my life. Ivana was tremendous, she stayed in touch with me and made the trip so pleasant. She was like a personal administrator, stayed on top of every detail. I cannot tell you how thankful and how grateful my wife and I are for this company and the expertise they showed and delivered; they are number one. It was truly a dream vacation.Thank you to our travel company,Jim B

1000/1000 I would chose Melanie and Zicasso again!  Our trip to Egypt and Jordan was unique, stunning, bespoke, epic, adventure, luxury, personalized, safe, well thought out, and simply amazing.  From the first interviews (when we selected Melanie) to the "before" trip planning, to the in-country support, and even back home -- everything was flawless.  If you don't want to stress out and want all the details taken care of so you can focus on the trip -- chose this company.  We have traveled all over the world and nothing compares to this trip and their planning and execution.  Every guide, every driver, every airport assistant, every tour, just everyone was incredible! Melanie worked behind the scenes to ensure everything was perfect.

     Our trip to Spain and Portugal was fabulous exceeding our wildest expectations. We curated a private tour for 17 days with the tour company with the expertise from Laura who provided excellent suggestions to ensure all the points of interest on our bucket list were included without us being overwhelmed each day. Whenever we had a question during the planning process, or while in transit, Laura and other colleagues were readily available responding immediately. We always felt taken care of and we were their only prority. All the tour guides and drivers selected for our trip were professional, extremely knowledgeable in their fields, always punctual and to top it off truly a joy to be with.

    We had never worked with Zicasso, or the travel company, nor knew anyone else, but we can highly recommend planning an excursion with them. I know my husband and I will be a repeat traveler and now we are thinking of Costa Rica.

Japan Luxury Travel Review: Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Kanazawa, Shirakawa, Mt. Fuji, Hakone, Cherry Blossoms, 2-Week Tour

When we decided to go to see cherry blossom in Japan, we thought of guided tours for two weeks.  We did a search online, Zicasso came on top with their luxury guided Japan tour.  After sending out an email, they immediately recommend two agencies and one of them is the one we chose.  Charlotte reached out in the same day but her email went into my trash directly.  It was found three days later in a weekend.  Once Charlotte received my email response, she texted me and called right after to get our desired details for these tours and dates.  She promised to get a proposal to us in next Monday and provided the proposal on time.  It came out almost matching everything we expected. We suggested some minor changes and she accommodated right next day with updated version.  It made our decision so easy to go with this agency.  Toward the start of the trip, our son wanted to meet us in Japan with his fiancé after he proposes to her in Japan and Charlotte made all necessary changes and arranged a fancy lunch meeting at Kyoto train station with set Japanese food in a private dining room.  We spent two weeks in Japan and visited so many places from Kyoto, to Nara, Kanazawa, Shirakawa, Hakone, Mt. Fuji, and Tokyo.  The whole trip was accompanies with English speaking Japanese local guides. All the transportations, sites seeing, cherry blossom, history, culture, tea ceremony, cruises, private transportation, hotels, rope lifts, high speed trains, local express trains, and long distance buses, subways, not mentioning the local food, we have touched so many different ways of life in Japan without thinking of it every day.  They made everything so easy for us and so worry free.  We have enjoyed every single moment with all arrangement and guides.  It made this vacation one of the bests in our life and we got so many great memories including our son's successful proposing.  Thank you Charlotte and the team for your kind help and very nicely guided tours.

Lenny and the team at the travel agency planned us a literal dream come true vacation. We chose to use them for our honeymoon and we cannot recommend them enough! From the start, Lenny was incredibly attentive and made planning this trip so easy and fun. He was always there to answer or discuss any questions or requests we had and went back and forth with us in a very timely manner to help create the trip we envisioned. Once we were in Thailand, we were taken care of every step of the way. From the moment you step off of the plane to the moment you head home, Lenny and his team will always be taking care of you. The team was in communication with us throughout the trip to make sure we had all the information needed for the excursions ahead of time and was always incredibly helpful and kind! They were always organized and on top of everything and we felt very taken care of by her. If you go to Chiang Mai, you will be lucky enough to spend time with Pat, who helped make our time there a truly unbelievable experience. He made us feel comfortable, safe and welcome and he went above and beyond to help us and make our trip there the best it could be. He connects you with some of the greatest guides and activities in the Chiang Mai area that are truly unforgettable. The tours and activities that Lenny and the team set up for us throughout our time in Thailand were incredible. We had the best guides throughout the whole trip in all different parts of the country and our accommodations were also wonderful. Lenny and his team booked us activities that we would have never been able to do on our own, and it really felt that we were doing all of the top activities with the top people. Lenny made sure we stayed at beautiful hotels/resorts in really great areas that were always within our budget. Along with booking the most fun and wonderful activities and beautiful accommodations, Lenny and his team also give great recommendations for restaurants and activities for free time you may have. Every single minute of every single day of our trip was a dream come true. We created countless memories from a trip of a lifetime all thanks to the travel agency crew. Looking back on our trip, I truly feel like we did it all and we were only able to do that because of the crew. THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING AND UNFORGETTABLE TIME!!!! We will be recommending everyone know going to Thailand to this group.

Emily and her team created the most memorable experience for my husband and me on our recent trip to Spain and Portugal. The itinerary catered to our travel preferences and included experiences that wouldn't have been possible without her expertise. Emily was available during the entire trip and upon request, instantly booked a magical last-minute trip to Tangier, Morroco during our trip. If you are planning to travel to Spain and the surrounding areas, I give Emily and her team the highest recommendation. We have traveled globally for years, and their expertise, flexibility, and responsive and caring approach went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you, Emily and team!

This is what I love about Zicasso. They help connect you with the best local travel agents.
