Asia Tours

The trip was very good. We learned a lot about the culture, food, people, and land. We didn’t feel it was 100% as our trip to Botswana and South Africa. The guide was OK, but not great. If I were to share my itinerary, I would omit Wayanad, where we felt the drive was very long and the hotel was not up to par. Kochi, Kumarakom, Munnar, and Madurai were wonderful.

I was incredibly impressed with every aspect of our experience with Zicasso’s travel company. I was traveling with my 83-year-old mother, so I wanted to be sure we worked with a company we could trust. The initial steps of creating the itinerary were personalized and efficient. The communication before and during every day of the trip was clear and consistent.

Each guide and driver was prompt and friendly, and provided a level of care and flexibility that made every step of the journey so smooth. Guides were incredibly knowledgeable and well connected in their respective cities to create seamless experiences for us. When we asked for any change or addition during the trip, everyone responded quickly and met our every need.

It was truly a trip of a lifetime, all thanks to the brilliant team at the travel company. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an adventure in Asia and I look forward to engaging them for my next trip.

We had a wonderful trip! The itinerary, hotels, guides, and driver arranged by Zicasso’s travel company were excellent. Our driver coordinated with all of the guides so that each guide met us exactly on time. The travel company stayed in good touch with us throughout the trip so that if we had any questions, we got them answered promptly. I would highly recommend this travel company to anyone traveling to India.

We (A and B) had an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime, 36-day trip to Japan and were very grateful we found Zicasso’s travel specialist to help us plan our itinerary.

The travel specialist made sure that all our travel arrangements were well thought out and his instructions were (mostly) straightforward. He was a good listener and helped us craft an itinerary that totally suited our needs. We had about four sessions (hours) on Zoom with him before our trip to iron out details. A company that does customized tours was exactly what we were looking for and that is what we got. This way, we had a lot of say in where to go, how long to stay, how we wanted to spend our time, and what attractions we wanted to see. He told us ours was the longest trip to Japan he had helped arrange.

The trip was amazing and we were blessed to be able to see the spectacular fall foliage everywhere we went, Mount Fuji on numerous days, and many beautiful places, as well as eat authentic Japanese food and immerse ourselves in Japanese culture. In addition to all that, we had many days on our own where we were able to meet up with 12 friends of B in three different cities, people B met 45 years ago in Japan.

All the arrangements made for us by the travel company were fantastic, including local transportation, drivers in every city, and train and shinkansen rides. The accommodations were excellent too and we especially appreciated that the location of our hotels was very convenient and in the best areas. The two stays in ryokans in Hakone and Miyajima were unique and special.

Every single local guide we had was fantastic. They were all knowledgeable, friendly, personable, helpful, and kind. The drivers were terrific too and we enjoyed meeting them and talking with them.

We highly recommend this travel company if you are looking for a customized, comprehensive, and fun tour of Japan.

The trip was great. The highlights included the private cultural show and dinner at our hotel in Galle. Our tea plantation hotel was also amazing, as well as our wildlife lodge. We enjoyed the country and highly recommend it. My only suggestion is that we ended up doing a lot of driving, and I was not aware you can take a seaplane to the tea plantation area, which would have saved us approximately two days of driving.

The itinerary was perfect. We appreciated the variety of sites and the wonderful guides arranged by Zicasso's travel company.
