South Korea Tour Review: Seoul, Cooking Class, 9 Nights

Working with Zicasso and the travel company was a pleasure. Both companies were responsive and listened to our travel goals and feedback as we worked through versions of our itineraries. The trip was wonderful and the guides, drivers, and assistants in South Korea were absolutely fantastic. The hotels were great and all planned events were what we were expecting. We'd definitely work with Zicasso and this travel company again. Thank you for helping to make our trip so memorable.

Japan, South Korea Luxury Vacation Review: 12-Night Tour

Zicasso’s company was very professional and responsive. Our tour operator was a great travel agent and organizer. I had never used Zicasso and was slightly anxious as this was a very expensive, high-luxury trip. The trip was amazing. It was a trip of a lifetime. I would highly recommend our travel company!

Korea, South Luxury Vacation Review: Seoul, Incheon, Gyeongju-si, DMZ, Architecture, Art, Local Cuisine

We had an outstanding trip to South Korea organized by Zicasso’s travel agent. He was terrific to work and communicate with, very responsive, and knowledgeable.

He had the challenging task of organizing a full itinerary built around two business-related meetings in Incheon and Gyeongju-si, as well as coordinating my hosts.

The arrangements were perfect and the guides in Seoul, Gyeongju, and those on a day trip to the DMZ were impeccable, timely, and informative. Our guide in Seoul in particular was highly responsive to last-minute requests and a pleasure to be with. All vehicles were almost new and driving skills were excellent.

We saw a huge amount of Korea in only a week (plus two meetings) and it couldn't have been better. Bravo to our travel team, the guides, and the agency for a memorable experience in every way.

Review: Luxury Trip to Japan, South Korea & Taiwan, Tokyo, Kyoto, Mount Fuji, Seoul, Taipei, Culture & Art

We thought the travel company service was excellent.  Our travel planner was very responsive when ever we had a question.  However, we thought that our transportation around Kyoto should have been planned and charged for taxi service and not the crowded public bus.

Japan & South Korea Travel Review, The Demilitarized Zone, Traditional Dress, Local Cuisine, Theme Park

We had a great trip and were matched with excellent guides at every step. The end result was great, but some of the planning was less than ideal. We were pushed to schedule some things infeasibly tight, were given bad advice on our interim international flight, and in general felt that we did not receive enough detail to go into our trip stress-free. Our final schedule document came quite close to our departure and had some logical inconsistencies. Our guides were able to smooth everything out on the day of, but it was difficult to decipher from the document we were given. Compared to a similar trip we'd taken earlier with another tour company, we were not impressed with the detail and accuracy of our pre-trip documents.
