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.

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.

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 Travel Review: Quito, Galapagos Cruise, Whitewater Rafting, Cotopaxi Bike Trip, 10-Night Trip

Ecuador is an amazing country. We had a well-put-together plan and highly recommend adding the Galápagos cruise, in addition to the mainland tour, as both are very different. There is so much to see and do!

Belize Trip Review: San Pedro, ATM Cave, Xunantunich, Caye Caulker, Food Tour, 1 Week

From the minute I spoke with Zicasso’s travel agent, I knew she would be the right agent for my family! She was completely understanding of our needs, which wasn't easy, given there were three generations on the trip and five children!

We needed to go between Christmas and New Year’s, of course, the busiest time, but she understood the assignment and worked over the weekend to make sure we got into the best possible places, both in the jungle and in San Pedro.

She handled my and my sister's multitude of questions with grace, professionalism, and understanding. She was thorough and organized. The excursions were all top-notch and exactly as described. She and her husband were at our beck and call the whole trip. I wouldn't choose anyone else for going to Belize!

Ecuador Vacation Review: Galapagos, Snorkeling, Wildlife, 11 Nights

I can’t say enough about our extraordinary trip to the Galápagos! Zicasso’s travel agent planned a perfect vacation for our family of six (two parents; kids 26–15). The attention to personal preferences and details was outstanding. Communication before and during the trip was great.
