South Africa, Zimbabwe Travel Review: Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Victoria Falls, Sabi Sands, Cape Peninsula, Franschhoek, Winelands, Game Drives, Wine Tasting, Scenery, 11 Nights

Zicasso's travel designer was extremely helpful in our trip planning process, giving us multiple suggestions for itineraries and price ranges. He listened to our ideas and shared his experiences to aid us in our final decisions. Communication during the preparation for our trip was amazing. We were very pleased with the five-star accommodations he recommended, the pace of the activities included, and the order of the destinations we visited.

We spent three days in Stellenbosch, three days in Cape Town, three days in Victoria Falls, and three days at the private game reserve in Sabi Sands. The accommodations, service, and scenery started out top-notch and seemed to get better as we went along.

Galapagos / Ecuador Vacation Review: Quito, Mindo, Nature, Wildlife, 10-Day Trip

We absolutely loved our trip to Quito, Mindo, and the Galápagos Islands with Zicasso's travel agency! The travel agent and her team put together the perfect itinerary for us, with lots of fun surprises along the way. This was one of the best trips of our lives, all thanks to this travel agency. They covered every detail and remained in communication throughout, so we felt comfortable navigating a new country. I can't recommend them enough!

Ecuador, Peru Travel Review: Galapagos, Chinchero, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, Uros Community, Textile Weavers, Floating Islands, 16 Nights

Our trip was beyond awesome. We made memories for a lifetime in Peru and the Galápagos Islands. Standing on the equator in Quito and the different experiments on the equator were a hit with kids and adults alike. There was excellent planning and execution by our Zicasso travel specialists. All the guides and excursions were great and we made good friends with them. They went above and beyond to recover our (lost/forgotten) items in a hotel and plane. Two thumbs up.

Ecuador Tour Review: Quito, Galapagos Islands, History, Wildlife, 1 Week

Zicasso's trip planner is excellent! She planned a personalized itinerary for me and my family, with activities for all different ages in our travel group. We truly enjoyed our experience in Quito and the Galápagos Islands. 

Our tour guide did a wonderful job taking us around Quito and ensuring we got to fully experience the city (including historical landmarks and local spots). In addition, one of our family members had altitude sickness and he put a lot of effort into helping her get assistance and even medical care in the airport. 

Five stars for our agent and our guide.

South Africa Tour Review: Cape Town, Nature Reserves, Wildlife, Game Drives, 11 Nights

The trip was extraordinary, amazing, and perfect in every way! Every aspect of the trip Zicasso’s travel agent planned for us was perfectly executed.

Our drivers were punctual and professional.

The hotel in Cape Town was lovely and the staff were so attentive. The staff at the nature reserve made everyone feel like part of the family.

We saw the Big Five within the first two days there! Super-fun!

The Cessna Caravan flight between lodges enabled us to see the African savannah and bush from the air, which was so beautiful.

The lodge in Sabi Sand Game Reserve was elegant and the staff were so attentive, meeting our every need and anticipating our every wish!

We had some excellent surprises, such as a full breakfast in the bush.

Our trackers and our rangers were truly wonderful and knowledgeable, and made the experience delightful.

Other travelers at the lodges were so friendly.

It was a trip of a lifetime... though we may have to go back again!
