We had an absolutely wonderful time visiting Prague, Vienna, and Salzburg. Violeta listened to what our priorities were, and made suggestions that met those needs. We had door to door service for all transfers from plane/train to/from hotel. It was so easy! We went for private tours for the most part, and the guides were very knowledgeable and professional. We learned so much, and enjoyed the food tours we tried immensely. We had just enough planned vs. free time, so we still had time to explore on our own. You really can customize exactly what you would wish to do, down to hotels and activities. I wouldn't hesitate to go on another trip; we had such a good experience!

We absolutely loved working with Eleonora and Elena at our travel agency for our trip to Florence, Naples and Sicily. I normally arrange our own travel, but because we don't speak Italian and we were traveling during the holidays, I wanted some extra support on this trip. It was wonderful feeling that we had a team of people always offering support while we were traveling. They really listened to our interests --- art, food, cooking, archaeology, nature --- and crafted an itinerary that was customized just for us. I had also asked to take advantage of being there during Christmas and seeing and doing things that are only available at that season, and they listened to that, too. I sent them a huge laundry list of places that we were interested in seeing, well over what we could do in 12 days, and Eleonora helped me make the best choices and come up with a program that we were all happy with. Transfers were handled seamlessly and we were very happy with the hotels that they chose for us. They were very good about communicating both in advance and while we were on our trip. (We had a private group set up in WhatsApp and they were always available and responsive, even on Christmas.) Of the many drivers and guides that they set up for us, I don't think a single one was late or not where we expected them to be. Which is pretty extraordinary. We had one issue where they booked a domestic flight for us, I didn't understand the baggage allowances and we had to pay to gate check luggage, and Eleonora insisted on refunding the extra fees to us even though she wasn't required to do so. They are super responsible and I really appreciate the many ways they went above and beyond to give us great service.I would 100% work with this agency again when we return to Italy, and I would recommend them to anyone else.

I can't say enough about the quality of service provided by this travel company. My husband's and my trip to Greece and Turkey was 20-days, and everything went as planned. The guides were prompt, personable and knowledgeable. More importantly, they were flexible, as interested in who we were and what we wanted to get out of our travels.  Working with Irene was fun. We planned this trip during the pandemic, and Irene was sure to keep me up to date as to any changes in our itinerary (and there was nothing major).   We stayed in boutique hotels and were treated with first-class service. The food was amazing. We took foodie tours and cooking classes. The breakfasts were lavish and showcased the local food.We spent four nights in Athens, three nights in Santorini, and five in Crete. The Turkey leg was seven nights, ending with four in Istanbul. Again, the guides, drivers, hotels, transfers, porters, flights -- all of it was spot on and professional. In Turkey, our guide went the extra mile to make sure I found my phone. Thank you.Irene's team checked in at the right rhythm, just enough to know that support was available if needed.  Great trip. Wonderful time.

My husband and I went on a wonderful trip to New Zealand - North and South Island - that was actually planned for 2021 but could not go until this year. I like to work with an agent and Lindsay from our travel agency was extremely responsive offering helpful options and suggestions. Even though the time we spent on the North Island was right after the torrential rains, we modified the itinerary to spend 4 days in the Taupo area and 2 days in Rotorua. We hiked in the Tongariro National Park and part of the Great Lake Pathway, sailed to view the Maori Rock Carvings and visited Orakei Korako geothermal pools and Huka Falls in the Lake Taupo area. In Rotorua, we relaxed in the mineral pools of the spa and enjoyed the indigenous Maori experience at Te Puia. The next 12 days were spent on the South Island where we had sunny and warm weather! One of our favorite places was Abel Tasman Park where we went Kayaking and hiked on the beautiful Coast Trek. We continued our adventures on a memorable heli-hiking experience on the Tasman Glacier in the Mt. Cook region, followed by visiting the unique blue penguins and Royal Albatrosses on the Otago Peninsula and a hike and cruise on the famous Milford Sound in Fjordland National Park. We ended our journey with 3 days in Lake Wanaka area where we kayaked, hiked, and went to some of the region's famous wineries.

Our travel agency did a great job putting together a two week itinerary of North India (Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore, Jaipur) and Goa.   The sights chosen as well as our guides thoughout the trip in the different cities were excellent. Our driver got us wherever we needed on time.We were in contact with Jay and Namita via WhatsApp throughout the trip. We were accompanied to the airport for our in country flights to ensure smooth check-ins and overall were very well supported throughout our entire trip. The travel agency made all of the logistics for the trip stress free for us.   I will use this agency on our next trip to India, Nepal or the Maldives!

I was in contact with Jason at this travel company over 6 months ago regarding a trip to South America. He asked me questions, what countries, any specific things I wanted to experience, so I told him. Peru-Machu Picchu seeing the Amazon Forests. Argentina-Buenos Aires, go see the gaucho's and experience a barbecue and see Iguazu Falls. It's an unbelievable site to see, especially for an extra fee we went on a helicopter ride over them, what a view. The next day we saw the falls again but on the Brazilian side, a completely different view and we could go on the walking paths close enough you think you can touch it. The closer you get the water you can be soaked, nice on a hot day.We stayed at a boutique hotel. What was unplanned, was being able to see Argentina's football team play in the World Cup. Naturally I had to get a Messi jersey, with large screens in several parks and of course the bars; there were thousands watching. When they won, everyone was so excited; I got fist bumps and high 5's, I felt a part of it.Finally, it was off to Brazil and Rio, a beautiful city with the long beaches and outdoor vendors, everyone having fun. #1 on my bucket list seeing the statue of Jesus. We stayed at a hotel in Copacabana, a big wow factor, I'd rate it a 10!Bottom line Jason scored the winning goal; everything on my list and more. So happy I found them, memories for a lifetime.

Nicoletta planned a wonderful for trip for us. She paid attention to the smallest details. We were picked up and Venice by someone that walked us into the train station to help us navigate. The guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I love the ease of not having to worry about ordering tickets or how I would get there because she was so attentive. We went to Venice, Pisa, Florence and Rome. She provided travel tips, suggestions of where to eat, what to do. I highly recommend this travel agency to plan your next trip.

Overall, the trip was fantastic!! The only thing better was the efforts, knowledge and professionalism of our travel agent, Jillian. Our trip started out rocky, to say the least! Jillian's calm composure, professionalism and after-hours efforts saved the day!All activities went off without a hitch; they were exactly as presented! Jillian's knowledge of the areas we visited was exactly what we needed.  I cannot say enough good things about our travel company and Jillian!

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

Our experience with Kate and this travel company was excellent. We were able to customize our vacation to include everything we wanted to see and do. Kate scheduled all our flights, private drivers and tours, and everything was seamless. With all the details taken care of, we were able to concentrate on the beauty of Australia and having fun. Many thanks to Kate for planning our Dream Vacation!

When I initially decided to take this trip to Europe I didn't have a travel agent. I started to explore companies on the internet.  I read the reviews of several companies and decided Zicasso was the one I was going to pursue. They put me in touch with a couple different agents. The one I was most impressed with was Rose at this travel agency. She is a joy to work with and very thorough. She tailored our trip to our specific interests. Through out the planning stage she was very prompt with answers to any questions that arose. During our trip we kept in touch. She inquired as to how our trip was going. During our trip our travel agency was there for us making sure things were going as planned. All the drivers and guides that we worked with were top notch and professional.

It was a leap of faith for us to use Zicasso, first of all, and to book a trip with a travel agent because we've always planned our own vacations in the past. It turned out great! Their model works. They connected us with two agencies in Italy, our destination country, and we chose this travel company based on their responsiveness. What fun to create a customized itinerary based on their recommendations -- we told them how many days we could travel, what our budget was, and roughly what we wanted to do. They came back with a first draft and we tweaked it from there. Everything worked smoothly while we were in Italy -- we had good hotels and great tour guides, but I think the highlight for me was the private drivers! Driving in Cinque Terre, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast would have been stressful and it was wonderful to leave that to the professionals. And always, our travel agency was a phone call or an email away if we needed them.

Chelsea designed a fabulous trip which entirely matched our needs & expectations. Every arrangement from rental cars to hotels to activities to trains & ferry were seamless. Her choices were exactly what we wanted. Chelsea was easy to work with & very responsive to our queries. We also loved meeting her in Wānaka! She also kept tabs on our itinerary & informed us immediately when there was a ferry schedule change. We would use her again.

This past September my wife and I embarked on a three week trip to Morocco, Andalusia and Madrid. Every part of the itinerary was custom tailored for us by Paloma and Samuel at this travel company. I have read several reviews written by others concerning their experiences and I can say I have very little to add. It was an awesome adventure. I would advise anyone who wants a luxury, custom tailored travel experience that would exceed all of their expectations to hook up with Paloma and Samuel. You won't be sorry.

Rebecca and her team at the travel company is the go to when booking your travels to Greece.  This was a milestone birthday trip for me and a bucket list destination, but the idea of planning a trip to Greece seemed daunting to me.  I searched and found reviews for Zicasso and they put me in touch with Rebecca, who was absolutely amazing from start to finish.  I communicated with her what I wanted from this trip and she worked with me to curate the most amazing trip.  From private transfers, to island hopping fare bookings, to dinner reservations, Rebecca and her wonderful team were on top of it all.  Should anyone want assistance in booking travels to Greece, Rebecca at the travel company is a wonderful choice.

My wife and I had an amazing trip to Belize. Catarina was amazing, I had planned this for a couple years and Covid hit. I texted her years later in March, she responded immediately by name. She planned a perfect vacation understanding who we were and what we liked. Very easy to get a hold of. Belize is beautiful. The resorts in the Jungle and by the Sea, were top notch. Love the Mayan ruins and went horseback though the beautiful grounds. Went to an awesome 4 mile caye to snorkel for the day. All tours and staff at the hotels were awesome. Loved Placencia the peninsula, used golf carts to get around!

We had a group of 18 extended family members, from 12 to 82 years old, flying from 5 different cities in the US, to connect in the Loire Valley and Paris for the Christmas holidays. You can imagine the logistics involved in handling such a complicated group, but Mario at this travel company set up a fantastic trip for us with wonderful hotels, tours and restaurants. Any hiccups along the way were quickly handled by his team on the ground in France. The drivers were prompt and courteous, and the tour guides were really great. Mario was a joy to work with! I am not a person who usually writes reviews, but I cannot recommend our travel agency highly enough.

This is the second European family vacation that I planned via a Zicasso agent. I want to keep Zicasso a secret because it is an amazing service but given my trips rave reviews and pictures I can not, not share Zicasso since everyone asks how I planned my trip. That being said this time around we were aligned with two travel agents. Both seemed great; however, there was something special about Nikos from the travel company that made us choose to work with him and his agency. From the moment we started planning the trip through our return on the trip it was amazing. I have goose bumps as I sit here and type this review. Nikos made it so simple for us. We worked through budget, timelines, wants, dreams and needs. We didn't just speak over email we met over the phone. We had one airline hiccup (delay leaving the US) Nikos was right there when we landed and had already assisted us in changing our connecting flight so we could make it to Crete as planned. The family trip to Greece was everything we dreamed of and more. We can't wait to work with Nikos and his team again for our next Greek vacation. Every tour we took was incredible all of the guides were extremely knowledgeable. We loved that the tours were private or semi private. Everyone of the tour guides also respected that we were with two children 15 and 11. They made it fun and interesting for all ages. As the trip neared we were provided an app to download with our full itinerary and everything to do every step of the way. It was amazing not to need to know to have to "think" and fully relax on vacation. We had no idea what day of the week it was while we were on vacation. We just followed along on our app. The app had every thing in it with directions and one click to reach Nikos and team and Ferries and guides.  Thank you Niko's and Family you truly made our Summer in Greece vacation one to remember for life.
