    Finland, Estonia, Norway, Denmark, Sweden Vacation Review: Helsinki, Oslo, Stockholm, Tallinn, 18 Days
    We recently returned from an 18-day trip that was planned and booked by Zicasso's travel company, and we couldn't have been more pleased. We had a complicated itinerary that included visits to Helsinki, Finland; a day trip to Tallinn, Estonia; Stockholm, Sweden; Oslo, Norway; and overnight stays in three areas along the fjords: Flåm, Balestrand, and Bergen. Our agent worked closely with us upfront to plan a wonderful itinerary. We were delighted with the destinations, the hotel selections (at our request, small boutique hotels with character and good locations), the guides, the travel arrangements (eg, overnight ferries, drivers where needed), etc. During our trip, there was always someone available to answer any questions we had. We are seasoned travelers who have worked with many travel agencies around the world and would absolutely recommend them without hesitation.

    Norway & Finland Vacation Review: Kirkenes, Tromso, Northern Lights, Snowmobiling, Dog Sled Ride, Ice Cart Racing, Cruise
    Our trip to Finland (hotel in Ivalo) and Norway (the hotel in Kirkenes, cruise and Tromso) was the trip of a lifetime!  The star of the show for us was being fortunate enough to see the northern lights on multiple occasions.  Beyond that, we thoroughly enjoyed everything about our 3 night stay at the hotel in Ivalo.  The staff was exceptional, the lodging very comfortable, the food exceptional and the activities exciting and interesting.  We snowmobiled (day and night), raced ice carts, took a reindeer sleigh ride and, what we considered the most fun, drove a dog sled through the wilderness!  We then had a private driver to Kirkenes for a one night stay in a cabin.  Seeing the ice hotel was amazing, but sleeping there would not have been for us :).  However, the cabin, scenery, food and entire property were beautiful.  The next adventure was boarding a ship to travel from Kirkenes to Tromso.  The ship was very nice and the scenery along the coast were things we had never seen, and probably will never see again.  Simply beautiful!  I will say, if you are subject to motion sickness, beware! The Barents Sea can get very rough, and while safe, this cruise is not always smooth.  We arrived very late in Tromso and were unable to make our fjord cruise the next morning because we were just too tired and needed some extra rest.  We wish we had one more day in Tromso to explore, but we did enjoy our walking history tour and accommodations were comfortable. Working with Anna at our travel agency was a pleasure.  She was extremely responsive and attentive every step of the way.  She put together a great itinerary for us when we really had no idea what we wanted to do or see.  We only knew this was a place with the best chance to see the Northern Lights and we were very fortunate to see nature's light show at it's best!

    Norway Trip Review: Bergen, Odda, Trolltunga, Aurland, Alesund, Oslo, Westfjords, Local Cuisine, 13-Night Tour

    The four of us really enjoyed the trip Zicasso's tour planner created for us. She was responsive and quick to reply to our questions, including while on the trip. We visited Bergen, Odda, Trolltunga, Aurland, Ålesund, and Oslo. Our highlights were Trolltunga and Aurland. We would have gladly traded an extra day at Aurland and skipped the Flåm railroad, as that was too touristy for our taste, but we can only say that after having been there.

    Norway Trip Review: Stavanger, Bergen, Oslo, Rural Retreats, Fjords, Hiking, Boating, Cuisine, 8 Nights

    First, do not send me a water bottle; I have more than enough. Overall, we had a great trip to Norway, with a good balance between time in the cities of Stavanger, Bergen, and Oslo, and rural retreats. We stayed in fine old hotels in magnificent settings on the Geiranger and Lustra fjords. We reveled in a quieter pace, with more time to enjoy nature. Our agent selected terrific hotels in each setting and, during the trip, was attentive to our needs and responsive when some minor problems arose.

    Norway Luxury Trip Review: Flåm, Bergen, Fjords, Railway Trip, Hiking, 10 Nights

    We had an amazing trip to Norway in July, starting in Oslo and moving all the way to Ålesund, Flåm, Bergen, Geiranger, and surrounding fjords.

    The trip was very well planned by Zicasso’s tour company, giving us a great balance of things to do and time to rest. The variety of transportation we took throughout the trip was really inspirational and memorable.

    Our agent did an amazing job of planning and giving support during our vacation. While preparing for the trip, we had multiple meetings with her to figure everything out and be 100% happy with the itinerary. This resulted in us traveling with no worries, despite a relatively large number of different transportation options and locations. During the trip, our agent kept in constant contact to make sure everything was going well and kept us up to date with any changes due to weather, making the entire trip very relaxing. Thank you.

    Norway Vacation Review: Bike Rides, Kayaking & Hiking, Overnight in Fisherman's Cabin
    They were very responsive and helped us plan a trip that got us around Norway (Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, Lofoten Islands) by plane, boat, and rented car -- with guided bike trips, a kayak trip, a wonderful hike, stays in old fishermen's cabins, etc., that was well-balanced and that we enjoyed tremendously.
