New Zealand, Australia Honeymoon Review: Mount Cook, Hamilton Island, Great Ocean Road, Helicopter Ride, Snorkeling, 25 Nights
Zicasso’s travel company planned an amazing honeymoon for us. We worked with our travel agent and all her recommendations were great! We had several phone calls with her and communicated a lot via email to fine-tune our itinerary ahead of time. She was very patient with all our changes.
We also enjoyed the app, which helped us keep track of everything in one place (flights, tours, hotel details, documents).
