Best of Legendary London One-Week Tour

We just returned from a fantastic family vacation through Paris, London, and Cambridge, planned with care by our travel agent. Traveling with two teenagers can be a tall order, but the mix of activities kept everyone engaged and excited.

There were a few small hiccups, like mismatched names on some activity bookings and unexpected requests for payment on experiences we thought were already covered—but the agent was quick to respond and got everything sorted smoothly, which we really appreciated. One of the hotels didn’t quite live up to the promised 4-star standard, which was a little disappointing, but didn’t dampen the overall experience.

Standout Moments:

Dinner cruise on the Seine: Absolute highlight! Gorgeous views, great food, and the magic of drifting past Paris landmarks at night.

London tour guide: HUGE kudos to our guide! He struck that perfect balance of informative and entertaining, keeping the teens intrigued and involved the entire time. Not an easy feat!

Despite a few bumps, the trip gave us lasting memories, and we’re grateful to our travel agent for putting together an enriching adventure for our family.

I had been hesitant to book a trip to France because of the difficulty of language. I had the opportunity to visit friends in Nantes and Bordeaux, but wanted to take a tour of Paris first. I needed help with transportation to and from the airport, to our hotel, and to and from the Paris train stations. I also wanted to take tours to a few iconic landmarks. The Zicasso company helped with all these requests and also gave us a driver and guides to some of the landmarks. With all this support from Zicasso, we had a seamless itinerary and a most wonderful and magical time in Paris.

We had a fantastic trip, put together and managed along the way by Zicasso's travel company. We worked with them to design the perfect trip for us to visit the Swiss Alps, attend a Women’s Euro football game, see the Normandy beaches, experience the Tour de France, and spend time in Paris. It was a challenge that the travel company was up to.

Our tours and guides were great, and the hotels were wonderful. All through the trip, the tour company kept in touch to make sure we knew where to go next and assisted with any issues that popped up. Another fabulous experience from Zicasso for us. This was our fourth time using their service.

Zicasso's tour company provided a great trip. It was well-planned and the agents were attentive to questions or concerns along the way. Highly recommended! Everyone at Zicasso's travel company was easy to speak with and the information received was thorough and helpful. We will be using them for another trip.

I cannot make enough positive statements about our experience with Zicasso's tour company. The travel specialist and the other team members were phenomenal. We went from Normandy to Paris to Bordeaux to the Basque Country. The planning process for the trip was hassle-free. They asked all the right questions to ensure our trip had the experiences we wanted: food tours, wine tastings, museums, soccer games, D-Day, Mont Saint-Michel, and more. 

The balance of planned excursions and free time was perfect. Every guide was professional, knowledgeable, and personable, but more than that, it was clear each guide loved what they did and had a passion for what they were showing us. Every hotel we stayed in was spot-on with the amenities we discussed in our planning.

The agency was accommodating and easy to get in touch with when needed. Our trip was truly a vacation; all the details were taken care of and all tickets were electronically available. I highly recommend using this travel company!
