Zicasso Reviews

We have used Zicasso affiliates several times and this was one of the best. They tailored a creative program in Casablanca, Fes, Rabat, and Marrakech to our likes, needs, and abilities, and modified it as needed before and after the trip began.

The guides were very good on the whole. Two of the three hotels were outstanding and the third was excellent. We couldn’t have had a more punctual, careful, or informative driver. We even met one of the owners of the company for a coffee. He went out of his way to make our stay special, safe, and secure.

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

It was a fantastic experience!! It surpassed all my expectations! Zicasso’s travel company listened to my wants, needs, and priorities, and made a customized itinerary that was perfect for me. Do not hesitate to work with this travel company. I highly recommend!

Everything was very smooth. I loved the travel app that had our complete schedule to follow. We received good recommendations from Zicasso's travel experts and all plans went well, with no glitches.

Zicasso’s travel company planned an amazing honeymoon for us. We worked with our travel agent and all her recommendations were great! We had several phone calls with her and communicated a lot via email to fine-tune our itinerary ahead of time. She was very patient with all our changes.

We also enjoyed the app, which helped us keep track of everything in one place (flights, tours, hotel details, documents).

Zicasso’s tour company was excellent. The trip was perfectly organized, the hotels were fabulous, and the excursions were just what we wanted. Our travel specialists kept in touch and made sure things were going well, offering any help we needed. I would highly recommend this travel company to anyone planning a trip to explore Belize.

I couldn’t say enough positive things about Zicasso's travel specialists, from top to bottom. Airport service was excellent, daily guides were excellent, and management was excellent, a rare combination.

We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide and company. Our travel agent really saved our trip. We reached out just a few weeks before our 11-day visit to the country. We were so impressed at how well he listened to what we wanted to do, as well as our challenges with trying to meet up with our daughter. Despite that, he was able to pull together a magnificent itinerary for Rabat, Tangier, Marrakech, and the Atlas Mountains.

We needed a driver the whole time and our driver was so much more than that. The riads our travel agent found, the restaurants, and the cultural experiences were just perfect. Plus, we had ample downtime. The guides were knowledgeable and accommodating to our requests.

From the minute we arrived in Rabat to the moment we left, we felt in good hands. We are so grateful to their expertise and to Zicasso for connecting us to such an excellent person and company. We will reach out to Zicasso the next time we plan a trip abroad. Meanwhile, we tell everyone we meet about your services.

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.

My wife and I had a fabulous trip. Zicasso’s tour company was very easy to communicate with. The guides they arranged for us were great, especially our guide in Scotland, although our guide in Kerry, Ireland, was also very good. All transfers were easy and the itinerary worked well.

We loved everything about the trip! It was definitely a five-star experience! Zicasso’s travel specialist was wonderful. We had to cancel the original trip due to my health, but she was able to work with the travel companies, so we lost less money than we might have. She is very responsive and patient with questions. Her team was able to track down my visa to Tanzania when the other three had already received theirs!

Zicasso’s travel specialists were excellent, from planning the trip to accommodating our specific interests and needs.

We had a fabulous trip to Italy, including to Sorrento, Taormina, and Rome. Zicasso’s travel specialist made sure every detail was taken care of, including stays in beautiful, well-located hotels and excursions that were interesting and fun for our family.

For example, she arranged for an airport host to assist us with our arrival to and departure from the Rome airport, and she was simply amazing, whisking us through the airport and eliminating stress for our family.

Our trip to Vietnam was nothing short of exceptional, and it stands out as one of the most well-organized and enjoyable travel experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty, culture, and history of the country without any stress or logistical concerns.

The journey began in Hanoi, where we were immediately impressed by the seamless airport pick-up and smooth transfer to our hotel. The accommodation was ideally located—comfortable, clean, and perfectly situated for exploring the Old Quarter. Guided tours were expertly paced, balancing iconic highlights with quieter moments that let us absorb the rhythm of daily life. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about Vietnam’s history and culture.

From Hanoi, we traveled to Ha Long Bay, and this portion of the trip was truly unforgettable. Transportation was punctual and comfortable, and boarding the cruise was effortless. The overnight cruise itself exceeded expectations: elegant cabins, excellent service, and breathtaking views of the limestone karsts rising from emerald waters. Activities such as kayaking and cave visits were well coordinated, never rushed, and thoughtfully timed to avoid crowds. Meals on board were outstanding and added to the overall sense of luxury and relaxation.

Next, we ventured to Ninh Binh, often called “Ha Long Bay on land,” and it was a highlight of the itinerary. The scenic drive was smooth and our accommodations offered a peaceful retreat surrounded by dramatic landscapes. Boat rides through the rice paddies and towering cliffs were serene and magical. Again, the logistics were flawless—clear schedules, attentive guides, and effortless transitions between activities.

Our journey continued south to Hue and Hoi An, with flights and transfers handled seamlessly. In Hue, the historical sites were presented in a way that made Vietnam’s imperial past come alive. The hotel was elegant and restful, perfectly complementing the city’s reflective atmosphere. Hoi An, with its lantern-lit streets and charming architecture, was a dream. The accommodation here was particularly memorable—beautifully designed, centrally located, and paired with exceptional service. Tailoring experiences, cycling excursions, and free time were all balanced perfectly.

What truly set this trip apart was the level of organization. Every transfer, hotel check-in, tour, and meal arrangement was smooth and stress-free. We never once had to worry about timing, transportation, or communication. The attention to detail and professionalism of the tour arrangements allowed us to focus entirely on enjoying Vietnam’s incredible scenery, cuisine, and culture.

In summary, this Vietnam trip—from Hanoi and Ha Long Bay to Ninh Binh, Hue, and Hoi An—was flawlessly executed. Exceptional planning, seamless transport, high-quality accommodations, and attentive guides made it an outstanding travel experience. We would wholeheartedly recommend this itinerary to anyone seeking a comprehensive, comfortable, and deeply rewarding journey through Vietnam.

Zicasso’s travel agent did an excellent job planning this trip. We loved New Zealand.

If we were to do it over, we would probably reduce the hours on buses and vans by perhaps flying, for example, from Christchurch to Queenstown.

We loved our Māori cultural evening and the Redwoods evening light show in Rotorua.

We wondered why we were collected at 8am and driven to the airport in Rotorua, where we ended up spending over six hours at the airport, leaving little time to spend in Christchurch that day. It did not make any sense to us.

We loved Queenstown and the accommodation at our hotel in Queenstown. Queenstown was the highlight of our trip. Unfortunately, and beyond anyone's control, our kayaking trip was cut short due to windy weather and we were unable to do the glacier heli-hike in Franz Josef, also due to weather conditions, leaving us with a lot of time in a much less desirable town and our worst accommodation for nearly two days.

The rail adventure was superb.

Zicasso’s travel specialist is absolutely A+—BEST IN CLASS!!!

Planning the trip with him was delightful. He listened carefully during our initial call and we had several conversations and emails to design the itinerary. His recommendations were spot-on and he was very flexible and supportive of our requested modifications, and incredibly responsive. It was an excellent experience planning the trip!

We LOVED the travel app he uses—it was truly helpful during the time we were in Spain. Everyone in our family really appreciated it!

When on the ground in Spain, we were in texting contact with him throughout the trip, including requesting additional add-on experiences the day before, which he made happen, and other small and meaningful adjustments! All of the drivers and guides selected were on time, professional, with deep knowledge, and delightful and fun to be with.

We absolutely loved our trip and it was just fabulous to work with a travel partner as excellent as him!

We highly recommend!!

Our trip to Greece was definitely five-star. There were very few glitches in the trip; overall, it was a very good experience.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was very helpful during the planning phase of the trip. For instance, during the planning phase, she recommended that we visit Naxos rather than Paros because she was concerned that Paxos would be partially shut down because of the timing in late October. We believe she was correct in this judgment. She was very responsive whenever we had a problem.

Zicasso’s travel agent created a perfectly curated itinerary just for us!

Zicasso’s travel company was very professional; great communicators and super-responsive. We would highly recommend using their services.

Zicasso’s travel company was extremely responsive and great to deal with, from planning to execution.

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned the honeymoon of our dreams! She seamlessly scheduled our time in Buenos Aires and Patagonia.

Our excursions included a tango show, hikes, mini-trekking on Perito Moreno Glacier, and horseback riding on an estancia. Our lodging and transportation were so convenient.

We would not have been able to plan this ideal trip without her expertise. She kept in consistent contact with us prior to and throughout our stay, and provided us with great food recommendations and travel tips. We got the full Argentine experience and we would do it all over again!

Our trip was absolutely AMAZING!! Zicasso’s travel specialist was always quick to respond to all of our questions and worked to design a trip within our budget. All of the arrangements he made for us were just perfect.

We loved all of the accommodations and the private guides in Cape Town for the day tour and hike up Table Mountain were both great.

The safari accommodations and guides were just incredible. The staff at both lodges were so kind and attentive! We saw the Big Five (more than once) and couldn’t believe how close we were able to get to the animals.

Overall, the trip exceeded our expectations!

My trip to Portugal was absolutely amazing. Zicasso’s travel company went above and beyond my expectations. The itinerary was amazing and all the guides were incredible. Everything was on time, the accommodations they booked were five-star and in great locations, and enough time was built in for me to be able to explore on my own. I feel the cost was well worth the value. Should I ever go back to Portugal, I would certainly use this travel company again, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a great experience on a Portugal vacation.

Our trip to Greece with Zicasso’s travel company was exceptional from start to finish. All four of us were 100% satisfied and truly impressed with how smoothly everything went. Every detail was professionally handled, communication was excellent, and we experienced zero hiccups throughout the entire trip.

We also had a delay in arriving in Greece and the travel company immediately accommodated our schedule changes without stress or confusion. They adjusted everything quickly and seamlessly, which made a huge difference and took all the pressure off of us.

The tours, guides, and overall coordination were top-notch, and it was clear the team takes great pride in delivering a first-class experience. We couldn’t be more pleased and would highly recommend this travel company to anyone wanting a stress-free, unforgettable trip to Greece.

Zicasso’s travel agent was great to work with and put together a fantastic trip. The itinerary allowed us to see a wide variety of what Costa Rica has to offer, and she selected hotels and guides who were first-rate. We would highly recommend this travel company to anyone who wants to explore this beautiful country.

Zicasso’s travel specialists pulled off the impossible! They took all of our, admittedly unreasonable, requests and fashioned a fantastic winter getaway vacation. We did not spend too much time in the car, it was not too hot or too humid, and we got a mix of mountains and beach, all at lovely, tranquil, spacious hotels. Both venues had the right mix of activities and downtime, all at the right price point.

Zicasso’s travel specialist (and her travel company) were great! She crafted an itinerary specific to what we were looking for and it certainly delivered! We had a great time, with no hiccups, other than a rainout of a kayak trip, and you can’t control the weather. Even then, she acted quickly to work with us on an alternate plan.

We were so pleased with the whole experience. Zicasso’s travel specialist listened to what we were looking for and presented several different options to achieve our goals. The end itinerary was perfect. The trip itself was amazing. The tour guides were fantastic, the hotels very nice, and the experiences were unforgettable.

The trip to Iceland was a marvelous adventure. Zicasso’s travel specialist made the trip, from beginning to end, seamless.

I will start by saying this is the first time I have ever used a travel company of any sort. I have always booked all of my own hotels, Airbnbs, flights, trains, and tickets for activities, etc. I have booked tours with tour guides, transportation, and excursions, but never left it up to a tour company to handle all of the details, start to finish. Needless to say, I was nervous. I was nervous I would land in Japan to no driver, no hotel, no guide, no tickets to activities on our “must-do” lists that get sold out—just my money gone and us stranded. I am used to the comfort of confirmations and control.

That is so far from the experience we had. Everything was fantastic! Our driver messaged us the night before landing with exact instructions on where to meet him, with pictures of how to navigate the airport. All three of the hotels we stayed in were clean, really nice, and exactly the type of rooms I requested. I have a very tall husband and two teenagers. King-size beds are hard to find in Japan, so I was very firm on wanting a king bed for us, but still the twin bedrooms for our kids.

Our first guide in Tokyo spoke fantastic English. He also did an amazing job of just doing what we wanted to do, even if it wasn’t on the itinerary. We were so appreciative of his flexibility because we did not stick to the itinerary at all, other than the ticketed activities. He took us to some restaurants that were local, not just those in tourist areas. He never rushed us, but still ensured we made it on time to the ticketed activities that had entry times. One night, our daughter realized she had left her purse in the bathroom and the driver drove us back 30 minutes to get it without an ounce of complaint or hesitation, even though it had been a long day and that now added another hour to his day. We even said we would take a taxi so he could go home, but he refused to let us and drove us personally.

Our second guide was in Kyoto. This is where we wanted to do the most sightseeing. He had no shortage of knowledge on the history of Japan. He was a walking Google for all things Japanese history. He did an excellent job switching up the itinerary when we discovered some things were closed for the New Year holiday. He took us to some more local and less-touristy places to eat as well.

I only needed to contact Zicasso’s travel company one time during our week. It was the night before our departure for the airport to confirm the driver, as this was the first time the entire trip I had not been contacted by a driver or guide the day before a departure or meeting. She responded within 30 minutes. The driver then contacted me within another 30 minutes. Otherwise, I was always contacted directly by each guide or driver the day before, with details of their arrivals and any other information.

It really was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend the company to anyone traveling in Japan or other areas in Asia where they provide travel services.

Thank you so much for referring us to Zicasso’s travel company. Their authentic experience, friendliness, and organizational skills in creating a most memorable Costa Rica experience for my whole family were incredible. It was indeed a trip of a lifetime! With grateful thanks...

The service from Zicasso’s travel company was exceptional throughout the trip. They did a great job keeping in touch and ensuring all tours and transfers were on time and satisfied our expectations.

Zicasso’s travel agent put together a trip of a lifetime to Australia for us. We are so pleased with her patience and the care she took to ensure everything was perfect and taken care of for us.

Zicass's travel experts worked well with us on planning the trip. Once the trip started, we had a support person who was available every single day to respond to any concerns. That support was truly exceptional.

Our only concern was that on occasion, the daily itinerary provided by the travel company did not precisely match what the subcontracted tour guide offered us. What we expected to happen based on the itinerary did not always happen. Having said that, the discrepancies were not egregious and did not detract from the day, but on occasion, were just confusing.

This trip was AMAZING! From beginning to end, everything was perfect. Zicasso’s travel company had everything planned for us to be able to enjoy this wonderful experience!

Zicasso's travel specialist was absolutely amazing to work with.

They answered every question in a very timely fashion, putting my mind at ease.

They created the perfect itinerary for us.

Everything on the itinerary worked out flawlessly.

I absolutely would recommend Zicasso to anyone planning a trip to Europe.

The team worked tirelessly to provide an unforgettable trip of a lifetime for my family.

What an amazing trip and experience. Zicasso’s travel agent helped plan a trip with concierge treatment and assisted in determining how to best spend our time. From Machu Picchu to hiking to the Amazon rainforest, everything was first class.

From planning to execution, it was seamless. We enjoyed our vacation to Morocco and wouldn't have done it anyother way.

Our trip was exceptional in every way. The seamless transfers, great informative guides, beautiful hotels, and the way Zicasso's travel specialist pivoted our stay in Da Nang due to flooding in Hoi An to a beautiful spa. The wonderful sites we saw, the tuk-tuk food tour in Bangkok, and the extra things. It was all great!

The trip covered a lot of ground, with four cities in Thailand and Siem Reap in Cambodia. The details and the logistics of the trip were timely and well communicated by Zicasso's travel company. The guides were punctual, well-informed, and passionate about the countries' histories.

We enjoyed the trip very much. We had planned to visit every place of interest to us in Patagonia on this trip, so it was quite a complex trip to arrange. Zicasso’s travel specialist did a great job overall. We had private guides and private cars for everything, so we could enjoy the experiences at our own pace and focus on the things that interested us.

We started in Buenos Aires, but our main focus was natural beauty. We spent a very interesting day and a half in the city, though. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the local history and the sites we visited. Next we went to Iguazú Falls, which was a spectacular experience. Our guide there was the only one who didn't seem as deep or as organized as all the others, but that was a minor issue. Although it is wickedly expensive, I would highly recommend that travelers stay in the one and only lodge inside the Iguazú Falls national park. We got a lot more out of our time there because we were right there at the park.

Next we went to the Lake District and spent memorable days on the water there; amazing scenery! We also saw condors during one of our day-long boat rides on the lake.

Next, we went to Calafate. Although we are not trekkers, the visits to the two main glaciers were unforgettable. The travel specialist had us in the VIP cabin for the day-long boat trip and we had a very knowledgeable guide for the visit to the Perito Moreno glacier.

We did the four-day cruise through Tierra del Fuego next, which I highly recommend, ending in Chile, where we spent two days at the Torres del Paine National Park, one by road in the park with a very knowledgeable private guide, and the second on a full-day lake tour with a marvelous lunch at a scenic ranch, with a close-up view to a glacier.

While I normally handle my own trip planning, we decided to work with Zicasso for our first trip to Morocco at the advice of a friend, and I am so pleased with the entire experience. The knowledgeable travel agent listened to our ideas and helped us create an itinerary.

Everything was seamless. Accommodations were fantastic and the experiences exceeded our expectations. Our driver and guides enriched our understanding of the country and culture, while providing us a nice platform for exploring on our own. They were all very personable and well informed.

We booked late and were impressed with what Zicasso’s travel company was able to put together on short notice.

We stayed at two totally different hotels, both wonderful. Our hotel near Drake Bay was in an amazing location, with breathtaking views. The staff was fantastic and the home-cooked meals were wonderful. The room was comfortable, but small, all you needed, nothing more. More spacious rooms were available; we just booked too late and wanted to stick to a budget. Getting to Drake Bay certainly required some effort, but it was well worth it. One day, we did not go on an excursion and had the entire beach to ourselves, how amazing.

From Drake Bay, we traveled to Puerto Jiménez, which was also a journey, but again, well worth it. The travel company booked us at our hotel in Puerto Jiménez, a hidden gem. We had great excursions, saw lots of wildlife, and met some wonderful people. Here too, the staff was great. We had an amazing time, when can we go back?

Thank you to the travel company for putting a great trip together.

In all respects, a well-planned and well-executed trip to London and Rome. The guides were exceptional in knowledge, kindness, and sense of humor. The best restaurant recommendation was the one in London.

We were well cared for on the trip.

The trip was amazing. We enjoyed every part of our travel—Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, and Antarctica. Zicasso’s travel company planned a very exciting vacation experience. They were caring, understanding, and reliable throughout the vacation. The travel company booked exciting tours and excellent accommodations. This travel company met our needs and made us feel safe and informed. We would recommend them to travelers seeking vacation planning in South America.

The trip was designed specifically for our family and it was perfect! Our guide and driver were flexible, knowledgeable, and good company. The Zicasso company's owner was very responsive and met with us at the end of the trip to hear how everything went.

We loved Peru and everything went very smoothly. We couldn’t have done half as much without the Zicasso drivers and the guides, and we learned a lot as well.

Zicasso’s travel company did an excellent job in planning, booking, and supporting our trip. Our travel agent and her team were very helpful, positive, receptive, and responsive to our requests and feedback, and provided excellent customer service all around and throughout. My husband and I will definitely consider this travel company for any future travel in Ireland and Scotland. Thank you so much to the travel company and thank you so much, Zicasso, for providing another great travel agent and company to us.

Zicasso’s travel agent was great. He took into account everything that we wanted to do and everything was kid-accessible. He gave us lots of options to choose from and helped us guide the best ones for us. I would certainly recommend this travel agent to anyone and would definitely use them again. Communication was constant and easy.

I couldn't recommend our travel company more. We booked them through Zicasso after receiving a very detailed and budget-conscious itinerary for our family trip to Brazil. We decided to visit Iguazú Falls, followed by Rio de Janeiro, over New Year's. Everything was great from start to finish, including trip planning, adjusting the itinerary based on our requests and holiday constraints, travel planning, and the trip itself.

We had a dedicated guide in each of our destination cities and this is what made the trip great. Our guide in Iguazú Falls and our guide in Rio were both fantastic. Each of them was courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and very well connected with the staff at the various places we visited. Not infrequently, we would be whisked to the front of long lines because our guides had a connection. Both of them were extremely flexible, like letting us enjoy a long lunch and starting our tour an hour late one day. They catered to our needs throughout our trip.

It was a fantastic and memorable trip!

We had an amazing adventure. The accommodations were great and all logistics were smooth and stress-free. We had amazing guides for excursions in the mountains and for snorkeling and diving in San Pedro. Thank you for taking such great care of us. We have wonderful memories from this overall fantastic trip!

It was one of the best trips we have taken. Organization was excellent and the team on the ground in Cuba was amazing.

It was seamless.

Zicasso’s travel agent really listened to what we were looking for and tailored the trip accordingly. She offered multiple choices for accommodations and activities, and adjusted the itinerary until we were satisfied. When there was an issue with a booking, the travel company went above and beyond to fix it. The travel company was also available during our trip to help problem-solve as the need arose. She was flexible when we asked to change the itinerary mid-trip and was very accommodating.

Having used Zicasso previously, I solicited their help in planning a 10-day trip to Vienna and Prague over Christmas and New Year’s, with short notice. Parameters included a full experience, Christmas markets, and an exposure to culture, churches, and museums. Zicasso’s travel agent, based in Slovenia, was helpful, responsive, and timely in her communications, including when issues and concerns arose. The overall experience was excellent, including the pre-arranged tours. The price point was high, especially when considering the marginal cost for a third person, but we were fully satisfied with our experience.

We have traveled the world extensively, and this trip with Zicasso’s travel company was one of the very best travel experiences we have ever had. Our travel specialists did a fantastic job of listening to our wants and needs, and put together a truly memorable trip for our multi-generational family. We were able to experience all four worlds of Ecuador—from the Andean sites to the coastline, to the Galápagos and the Amazon—and each one held special surprises and memories to last us a lifetime.

Zicasso’s travel company was absolutely wonderful to work with. The itinerary planned for us was just amazing—we felt like we got to do and see so much.

The real gem of our trip was our driver—he was exceptional. We spent so much time in the car moving from place to place, and he was warm, welcoming, accommodating, full of interesting information, and fun to be around. We appreciated everything he did to make our trip so great.

I would highly recommend this travel company to anyone—they are clearly experts at what they do, and it shows. All the tour guides we had the pleasure to meet were also wonderful. It was a trip of a lifetime and we are so grateful!

Zicasso’s travel company was great. Invariably, there are always hiccups on every trip, but the travel company worked very hard to rectify any issues. The itinerary they put together was perfect for our family and met everyone’s needs. The only thing I would recommend for future clients is that the timelines were pretty tight, so we were not always able to experience each place as much as we would have liked because transit times ended up being longer than what was listed in the itinerary.

For travelers, something to keep in mind when traveling in Switzerland in the winter is the shortened daylight hours and many shops and restaurants being closed throughout the holiday season.

One of the best decisions we made was to buy first-class rail passes, as the second-class cars were very busy, which would have been especially difficult on days when we were shuttling luggage from one city to the next. I would also recommend pre-booking seats on trains from Zermatt to Zurich after New Year’s, as we had to sit in a stairwell because there were no seats left.

Zicasso’s travel consultant was fantastic. They were responsive and delivered well on the request for a quick introduction to Costa Rica in three stops. Hotel accommodations were very nice all around, though our hotel in Monteverde cloudforest was a standout. Transfers and reservations went off without a hitch, and the pre-scheduled activities were most enjoyable for all.

The trip was exactly what we wished for this past Christmas. We had all our grown children together for Christmas for the first time in years.

We started the trip in Vienna, where we took a walking tour of the city and saw its wonderful Christmas markets, Schönbrunn Palace, the Lipizzaner stallions, and learned how to best make apple strudel. From there, we went to Filzmoos, where we took a sleigh ride up the mountain for a traditional Austrian dinner. We also spent Christmas Day up on Kitzsteinhorn. Then we went on to Salzburg, where we took a city tour and enjoyed the late Christmas market opportunities. From there, we drove to Prague to spend our New Year’s.

Zicasso’s travel company gave us just what we wanted. And the most important component of the trip was the people we met along the way. The drivers and the tour guides were all fabulous. Many seemed like old friends by the time our trip was over. Please send our thanks to all those involved in making our trip one we will never forget.

Thank you for organizing a wonderful trip. Zicasso’s travel company was super-helpful and we enjoyed spending two weeks with our driver. We brought back with us amazing memories of the medinas, riads, souks, mosques, palaces, ancient ruins, the desert, the food, and, of course, the cats of Essaouira.

Traveling with two kids can be challenging, but from finding the cleanest bathrooms to making sure we could sleep in, our driver adjusted to our schedule. He was so caring and by the end of the trip, he was a part of our family. We will miss him, as well as our trip coordinators, who were extremely attentive to our needs throughout. We miss Morocco, a country of contrasts.

The trip was amazing. Everything about it was perfect. Everything was on time and according to plan. The itinerary was perfect for my family. The guides and everyone we encountered were friendly and helpful. Zicasso’s travel agent was available whenever we needed her, ensured we were prepared for everything, and answered all our questions. It was the best trip yet!

Zicasso’s travel agent did a great job setting up our itinerary to meet our wants and adjusted it as we requested. They also selected excellent hotel locations, with most of them being walkable to our activities or nearby dinner spots.

The services provided were super-helpful and the sites visited were great. The hotel bookings were perfect, too.

Zicasso’s tour company did a fabulous job in providing us with an exceptional Portugal vacation over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday. They provided us the 24/7 coverage they promised over the holidays without a glitch, including addressing our weather-delayed arrival and multiple itinerary updates that this required without missing a step. We will be using this travel company again and recommend them without reservation.

Zicasso’s travel agent absolutely knocked this vacation itinerary out of the park for our family! We appreciate SO MUCH how the travel agent listened to our wants and interests, and then prioritized these things to create a fantastic trip for us!

New Year’s on the Sydney Harbour water was brilliant and each hotel we stayed at was 100% perfect. Transportation was top-notch and the personalized tours were incredible.

We will definitely utilize this travel company when we visit New Zealand and we will recommend them to all of our friends!!! It was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

It was the best trip I have ever had, by far! Our guide and drivers were friendly, professional, and responsible… I actually felt like royalty!

We ate off of restaurant menus, not a “one for all.” Drinks of your choosing were always available at lunch and dinner. The small-group size was wonderful for encouraging friendships and allowing for flexibility. Everything was just perfect.

My experience with Zicasso’s travel company was excellent from the first contact through my return home.

Everything was well thought out for our crew. Special attention to detail was exceptional. We highly recommend this Zicasso travel company.

Zicasso’s travel agent is the BEST—the trip was awesome!!

Zicasso’s travel company absolutely crushed it. A huge shout-out to our travel specialist for planning the perfect honeymoon—every detail was dialed in, from hotels to transfers to experiences. And massive thanks to the travel specialist and the team for being so responsive and helpful while we were in Thailand—communication was flawless.

This was a super-complex 22-day trip and somehow everything ran perfectly smooth. Every hotel was amazing, every guide was knowledgeable and fun, and we never once felt stressed or confused. My wife and I are genuinely blown away.

We could not recommend this travel company more. If you’re planning a big trip, especially something special like a honeymoon, this is the team you want.

The trip was seamless. Zicasso's travel specialist was always available for any questions or concerns, and even came up with ideas that I would never have come up with.

Zicasso’s travel agent was amazing in helping us plan our vacation, from the excursions to the hotels. It was perfection. The locations and small-group tours booked were amazing. We were able to walk around each city from our hotels and everything was right at our fingertips and easily accessible.

Zicasso’s travel agent put together an absolutely perfect trip for us. She provided a very high-touch experience and was available to us any time we needed her during the trip. I would highly recommend working with her travel agency.

We received excellent communication and planning from Zicasso's travel specialists. They made the trip very straightforward and we loved how the communication allowed us to adapt to airline mechanical problems and delays.

Amazing!! Everything from start to finish was simply amazing! The process, from the beginning with Zicasso to the end with Zicasso’s travel consultant, was flawless. She was in touch throughout the whole process. In preparation, she was very responsive and, once we were there, every little detail was thought through.

Our Africa adventure, booked through Zicasso’s travel specialist, was amazing, flawless, and a one-of-a-kind trip of a lifetime.

We went mostly into Patagonia and Torres del Paine, an amazing location. Zicasso’s travel specialist delivered as promised! Everything was first-class and his recommendations for everything from tours to restaurants were right on.

A special note to those with food allergies:

I have a lot of food allergies, so it is not easy for me to eat out, let alone out of the country. I let the travel specialist know ahead of time and all my tours, hotels, and guides knew I was coming and really helped to accommodate me. THANKS AGAIN!

We enjoyed a relaxing trip to Portugal in December 2025. Zicasso’s travel company and their team were awesome, very present, tailored the trip based on our needs, and we got to explore much of the country, given the time of the year. The itinerary suggested was wholesome, relaxing, and covered most of the sights and sounds. I would highly recommend them to friends and family.

Our experience with Zicasso’s travel company was fantastic. When I started planning our trip, Zicasso’s travel specialist was very helpful in giving me ideas on putting together an itinerary to cover the historic sites of Egypt, as well as Petra in Jordan. He sent a detailed proposal with hotels, inter-country flights, tours, and optional activities. He made himself available to answer any questions via WhatsApp during the planning process.

When we arrived at and departed from various airports (Amman, Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Hurghada), we were met by company representatives to ensure everything went smoothly. We were also given WhatsApp contacts for the operations team while in-country in case we had any questions.

Our three guides in Jordan, on our Nile River cruise from Aswan to Luxor, and in Cairo were all excellent. They were very knowledgeable and made our trip logistically stress free. All of our drivers got us where we needed to be on time. All of the hotels, as well as our Nile River cruise, were excellent.

Everyone at the travel company really wanted to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and all our needs were taken care of. We decided to do a hot-air balloon ride in Luxor last minute and switch from a horse-drawn carriage to a boat ride, and they made it happen. Our two-week trip was relaxing, enjoyable, and stress free.

It was a wonderful trip! Zicasso’s travel specialist came through with not a lot of time from me and put together an amazing itinerary!

Working with Zicasso’s travel specialist was amazing!! He helped me plan the best trip for a group of 38 in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. His recommendations were super. His communication and responsiveness were always clear and prompt. The itinerary he curated was a dream. I received absolutely wonderful service from start to finish.

Our family had an amazing time on our 10-day trip to Morocco and Southern Spain! The itinerary that was crafted for us was wonderful, where we saw multiple cities, with simple transfers.

The tour guides in each city were wonderful, with incredible knowledge of each city and site that we toured.

The hotels in Spain that were chosen for us were also great in quality and location—ideally situated in each city. In particular, our hotel in Córdoba was beautiful, located in an historic building.

All of the transportation services used had professional drivers in modern, clean vans.

In the event that we had an issue, question, or needed a recommendation, Zicasso’s tour company was very responsive and really helpful. We really were happy with our experience in the planning and execution of our family trip!

Zicasso’s travel company planned an amazing vacation for our family of five. Despite our late planning to go to Switzerland, they found us great accommodations in favorable locations and planned a two-week schedule that enabled us to see the sights and participate in varied winter activities, while leaving us the flexibility to determine what we wanted to do each day. It was a stress-free, adventurous family vacation.

We had a phenomenal experience in Vietnam. Zicasso’s travel agent answered all of my questions leading up to the trip (and I had so many!) and tweaked our trip multiple times to make it just right for our family. He arranged a fantastic trip and the local guides he set up were INCREDIBLE. They made an enormous positive impact on our trip.

We enjoyed all of the experiences and hotels, and Vietnam is a gorgeous and diverse country, with so much to see, do, and experience. I'm so glad we spent two weeks in Vietnam instead of trying to do a Vietnam-Thailand-Cambodia experience... I feel like we really got to experience the culture and see more of the country.

The travel company helped us find and set up experiences we wouldn't have found on our own!

Zicasso’s travel specialist did an excellent job of meeting our objectives! She was knowledgeable and her suggestions exceeded our expectations. Being seniors did not curtail our fun and relaxation. We asked to experience the different cultures and the different locations throughout Costa Rica. She met both goals and I would highly recommend Zicasso tours, especially those planned by this travel specialist; she was excellent.

Zicasso’s travel specialist put together a perfect trip for us. We were a large group, with large age and ability ranges—in addition to traveling over the holidays, so places being closed for the holidays was also a challenge. She made magic happen and, honestly, our trip could not have been more seamless.

We received fantastic and speedy communication from Zicasso's travel specialist. It took time to gain an understanding of our group’s needs and goals for the trip. We had comfortable, high-end transportation and professional service.

We had the best time, and it was an experience of a lifetime. Zicasso’s travel agent planned everything to our needs and picked the perfect hotels, which made it easy for us to explore the towns and cities. We had the best balance of city tours and time to explore ourselves. I would use this company again. It was a flawless experience.

The trip was very well organized by Zicasso's travel specialist. Our guide was very educated, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. The driver was very skillful, polite, and courteous.

Everything on our itinerary was executed flawlessly. Zicasso’s travel specialist created a custom schedule for us based on our interests and it was amazing.

This was a three-generation trip. Our objective was to fully engage our two grandsons (ages 10 and 8) for a winter break trip that included learning about the history and culture of New Zealand, including the Māori people, the local plants and animals, rugby, and having a number of fun activities as well, while keeping the adults interested.

Zicasso’s travel agent and her team created an itinerary that superbly met our objectives. For example, our youngest grandson now has a Māori pen pal who is his age and they have started exchanging emails.

Our accommodations were superb, particularly the house in Nelson over Christmas, where we BBQ’d steaks while the kids swam in the pool and hot tub.

The next time we plan to go to New Zealand, we will definitely contact this travel company.

The trip was very smooth and Zicasso's travel specialist was in constant contact. Thank you!

It was a fantastic trip. Zicasso’s travel agent and her team planned everything meticulously. The guides were fantastic, all having grown up in the cities they were touring. When we wanted to make some last-minute changes, they happily obliged. They were available to us at all times, day and night, and helped us with restaurants. I will definitely want to use them again and highly recommend them!!

Where do I start? Working with Zicasso’s travel agent was the best experience we’ve had traveling. From our first contact, working through an itinerary that worked for us, he made it easy. And once in Egypt, our greeters, drivers, and guides were absolutely the best.

This was truly an incredible trip and exceptionally well planned from start to finish. Zicasso’s travel company made our experience in India completely seamless and absolutely unforgettable. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, from the tours and knowledgeable local guides to the beautiful hotels, memorable sights, and even restaurant selections.

It was clear that our personal interests and preferences were carefully taken into account at every step. We were able to fully immerse ourselves in the experience and enjoy India without worrying about logistics, which made the journey even more special.

I would highly recommend this travel company to anyone looking for a well-curated, stress-free, and unforgettable travel experience.

Overall, it was a true 10-star trip. It was planned meticulously and exceeded our expectations at every level. From the planning of this trip to the day we landed in Singapore, Zicasso’s travel company was with us every step of the way. Our travel agent kept abreast of every aspect of our itinerary and was just a text or a phone call away for the duration of our trip. We felt safe, secure, and well taken care of. It was the best company to tour the gems of Southeast Asia. We are grateful to the travel agent and the entire team for arranging this spectacular trip.

Twenty days in China, five cities, with the associated flights, trains, etc. All was well coordinated and efficient. This was stress-free travel.

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!

Zicasso was wonderful to work with and very thorough in their planning. I will definitely use them again.

Overall, we had an excellent experience with Zicasso’s travel specialist! From starting planning and finalizing our itinerary, everything was perfect and done exactly the way we needed it. Transportation was excellent and very convenient. Hotels were great! All the crew, including representatives and drivers, were pleasant, flexible, and accommodating. We highly recommend and will use them in the future.

We received excellent planning and responsiveness from Zicasso's travel experts. This allowed us to fully accomplish our objectives and experience our “must-sees.” They incorporated excellent substitutions (due to weather events) that were never previously on our radar, but were very much enjoyed.

First-class service all the way! Zicasso’s travel company took very good care of this girl and her teenage boys. The hotel accommodations were excellent, the car service and tours were above exceptional! The reservation at the best, spectacular restaurant was ideal. And they were so accommodating with last-minute changes and questions. I am looking forward to working with them again!

I just wanted to share my amazing experience with Zicasso’s tour company! They coordinated my 60th birthday trip to India, taking me to Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Mumbai. Zicasso’s travel specialist was incredibly attentive and responsive to all my inquiries, and the birthday celebration in Mumbai was epic—think 10-course meal! The tour guides were super-knowledgeable and added so much depth to the trip, making it fun and educational.

One suggestion for the travel company: consider incorporating visits to some of the more affluent and clean areas within the Golden Triangle. It would give tourists a contrast to the poverty and crowds in the main cities, and create a more well-rounded memory of India.

My family was so happy with the trip that Zicasso’s travel specialist planned. We toured amazing castles, saw beautiful churches, and really enjoyed the scenery of the Highlands. We were there over Christmas, and our family stayed at a castle hotel that was simply magic.

One of the best parts of our trip was our driver. He was very engaging and knew the best secret spots to share with our family. When I return to Scotland, we will absolutely work with this travel company! Thank you!!

Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team were exceptional. Our guides were wonderful. The team was super-accessible. It was a great agenda. The team adapted to unforeseen circumstances and were continually going the extra mile. It was a great experience and I recommend this travel specialist highly!

Zicasso’s travel company planned an amazing itinerary that fit all of our family’s needs. They were responsive to any changes we wanted to make ahead of time and to any questions we had. We were seamlessly cared for from the moment we landed in Kenya.

We had a fantastic trip. Everything was very well organized, on time, and, in many cases, exceeded our expectations. Even when one of us got sick for a few days, Zicasso’s travel company was extremely flexible and helpful.

There was well-organized planning by Zicasso's travel company and the contractors assigned all performed as expected.

This was the most amazing trip of my life. Zicasso’s travel specialist meticulously curated an unforgettable experience for me and my two children. The trip was beautifully orchestrated.

We received excellent service from Zicasso's travel expert. Responses were prompt and detailed. The trip catered to all our needs. I was traveling with my dad, who has limited mobility, and every effort was made to ensure he was safe and comfortable.

Our guide was amazing, informative, obliging, and catered to everything we needed. Our entire, multi-generational family loved the trip. The hotel and transportation were also perfect.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was great, always in touch, replicated what I wanted, and helped me get it with no fuss.

We had the absolute best time ever in Thailand. From start to finish, this trip was seamless, thoughtful, and incredibly well executed by Zicasso's travel specialist. Every detail was handled with care, from airport transfers and flights to hotels, guides, and on-the-ground logistics, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the experience without ever feeling stressed or rushed.

The itinerary struck the perfect balance between adventure, culture, and downtime. We saw and did so much, yet everything felt paced and intentional rather than packed. The accommodations were exceptional, the guides were knowledgeable, warm, and professional, and every transition between destinations was smooth and well communicated.

What really stood out was how personalized the trip felt. It was clear that a lot of attention went into understanding what we wanted out of the experience and tailoring it to fit us perfectly. We felt supported the entire time and always knew someone was available if we needed anything.

Thailand itself was beyond beautiful, but the planning and execution by Zicasso’s travel company elevated the trip into something truly unforgettable. We could not recommend them more highly and would absolutely use them again for future travel. A huge thank you to our travel specialist for her incredible care, attention to detail, and thoughtful planning. She truly made this trip extraordinary.

I wish I could assign more than five stars to this trip. Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team were exceptional! From initial planning to seamless execution, attention to detail, and follow-up, we were blown away! We’ve had great experiences with Zicasso and this was hands down the best!

Our travel specialist answered every question promptly and provided so much additional information. He consistently checked in with us to make sure everything was going well and to our liking. It was truly customized, including a private craft beer tour in Kuala Lumpur for my husband. I don’t even remember telling him some of our preferences, like favorite sodas that were stocked in coolers by our guides. The guides were all prompt, knowledgeable, and kind, and took so many pictures for us.

The pace of the trip from Singapore to Bali to Borneo to Kuala Lumpur to Penang was comfortable in a two-week span because the service was so good!

I loved our hotel in Ubud and the incredible spa overlooking the river. The elephant experience was incredible, with some of my favorite pictures. We got lucky with the weather in Borneo, which was serene and beautiful. Singapore and Penang had excellent food and both our hotels were fantastic.

If you’re planning a trip to South East Asia, go with this travel specialist and his team. They exceeded all expectations!!! Huge thank you from Kristen and Dom!!!

It was a terrific trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. It was well-organized by `Zicasso's travel company, with great guides, activities, and unique experiences.

I am very thankful to have worked with Zicasso’s travel specialist. She asked me what we would like to do and perfectly tailored our trip to our tastes. From the moment we landed, we felt secure and well cared for. I would work with her for future trips and I will recommend her to others.

Zicasso’s travel company did a great job and was very responsive. The guides and drivers were excellent. It was a wonderful family trip.

I cannot say enough about this trip and Zicasso’s travel specialist. She helped plan a wonderful itinerary for us that we all enjoyed. Everything we wanted to see and do was accommodated. The guides we had were superb. We had a problem with the airline losing our luggage,and she was more than helpful in assisting us, as well as modifying our itinerary to accommodate our need to shop for clothing and attempt to get in touch with the airline. They were prompt in their responses.

As stated, our guides were wonderful. They were with us on multiple days and their knowledge was first-rate. They were fun as well.

I would not hesitate to use this company again and highly recommend them.

All arrangements by Zicasso's travel specialist for transit, both to and from the airport, as well as to outings, went great without a hitch.

The bookings for outings were seamless.

The house was perfect for our family.

The trip exceeded my expectations. I had always wanted to go to Thailand, and Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team went above and beyond, from planning to when we were there, being available 24/7 for absolutely any and all questions and help.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was spectacular in every way. From the inception of communication and planning, through arranging all of our tickets, hotels, transport, and amazing adventure and dining experiences, to the incredible support and guides we enjoyed along the way, they were outstanding and we received five-star service.

We were a family of five, with active young adults (ages 17–21) and thrill-seeking parents who wanted to see all the highlights of Thailand and experience everything from Muay Thai fights to elephant sanctuaries, local cooking classes, and Michelin-star restaurants. We had an absolutely amazing trip.

Our guides and drivers were awesome—kind, professional, and accommodating. All were very knowledgeable, with so much respect and love for the surrounding nature and culture.

Our travel specialist, with support from the team, was timely, attentive, and responsive to all of our requests and helped us collectively achieve one of the greatest vacations we have ever experienced.

Everything was well planned and thought out, and if anything was not right, they sought to immediately correct it. Our guide was on top of every detail and it was great knowing our travel specialist was just a text or phone call away.

Aside from the delay because of the time change, working with Zicasso’s travel specialist was great. She took care of all arrangements in Sicily once our decisions were made. She confirmed with every hotel, driver, and guide, making sure our travel was effortless.

The guides were great, adding so much historical information to our attractions. Our drivers were friendly, providing us with clean, comfortable vehicles, safe driving, and interesting conversation about modern life in Italy. Our hotels were high-end, in city centers, with amazing breakfast buffets and professional, kind staff.

We used a reputable tour group for our first week of mainland Italy travel, but our experience with this travel specialist far surpassed the tour group experience and our expectations. I would not hesitate to use her again for any travel plans in Italy. She checked in with us pre-, mid-, and post-travel. There wasn’t one hiccup with the plans she made for us.

My trip to Egypt, planned by Zicasso’s travel company, was remarkable. The best trip I have had thus far. My son and I had all of our needs met. We learned so much about the history and we enjoyed all of the excursions.

My son’s favorite excursions were the camel rides and mine was the Valley of the Kings. We were able to make changes to our itinerary while there to include the Grand Egyptian Museum, which we very much enjoyed as well. I would want the same guides if I were to visit again.

Zicasso’s travel specialist treated me as if I were her only client. There was excellent communication during prepping for vacation, straight through the final day of the trip. The weather became an issue, shutting down many organized adventure tours. She made it possible to iron out cancellations and rebook new tours pretty much every day of our vacation. At one point, she was corresponding with us during her Christmas family dinner. We highly recommend Zicasso.

I was impressed by the Zicasso team’s planning ahead of time and the level of responsiveness once we were in the middle of our trip. Our accommodations, tours, excursions, and planned activities were all very high quality given our budget, and any issue that we encountered during the trip was handled quickly and to our satisfaction time and time again. I would recommend this agency to anyone who wants to travel to Argentina.

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned a stellar trip! Cambodia was a wonder and everything flowed really well.

This was my family's first international vacation. We have traveled internationally a lot for mission work, and that is usually done as a group, working with local people, so we have never needed a travel agent. When we made the decision to travel to France for our Christmas vacation, I knew I needed some help. I searched online and came across Zicasso. They were wonderful to work with and put me in touch with our travel specialist.

I was impressed from the first email I received from her and it only got better from there. We talked a couple of times on the phone and the rest of our communication was through email. She was always prompt to reply and answered all of our questions. She developed a great itinerary for us.

We spent three nights in the Normandy area and five nights in Paris. Our hotels were very small, local hotels, with a lot of charm. We loved them both. Not only did she organize our itinerary for us, she also arranged all of our transportation for our tours and getting us to and from the airport. All of our drivers were very professional and extremely prompt.

We did tours in Normandy and Paris. In Normandy, our guides were from the same tour company and were very knowledgeable. We did a full-day tour of the American D-Day sites and it was clear that our guide had a true passion for what he was doing.

When we arrived in Paris, she scheduled a pastry and chocolate walking tour (highly recommend), a private tour of the Louvre, and a private tour of the Palace of Versailles. She also scheduled us for a macaron cooking class in Paris and we loved it. My daughter (11 years old) loves macarons and had a wonderful time getting to make her own.

I cannot recommend this travel company enough. The travel specialist was fantastic and if I ever get the opportunity to go back to Paris, I will certainly want her to plan my trip.

Zicasso’s travel company made the trip amazing, with flawless transfers, including planes, cars, boats, trains, drivers, and hotels, which made our trip stress-free. Their app was awesome and easy to interact with, allowing us to live chat with the team for any changes needed during the trip.

This was our third trip with Zicasso and it did not disappoint! The travel company did an amazing job planning and delivering on our trip. Accommodations were perfect, transfers were prompt and professional, and dinner suggestions were perfect!

Zicasso's travel specialist was very receptive and helpful. At times, there were hiccups with the plans, but she resolved them quickly.

Zicasso’s travel company helped us plan a trip that exceeded our expectations. From the hotels to the guides to the scheduling of events, things could not have gone smoother. We visited all the sites and did all the things we wanted to do, and still had free time to roam on our own. This team is top-notch and we highly recommend them.

Our itinerary was clear and precise. Everything worked out perfectly. We were picked up on time. There were friendly personnel. Any questions or requests we made while on vacation were taken care of.

Zicasso’s travel specialist did an excellent job planning our vacation. Every detail was taken care of, down to airport transfers with English-speaking drivers.

The excursions we were on were in quality locations, with meaning and historical significance. We had a little bit of downtime to explore Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.

Overall, we are really happy visiting Argentina and Brazil, and satisfied that he planned our vacation.

As you know, we had difficulty deciding between Zicasso's travel specialists for this trip.

As it turned out, the specialist we went with and his team did an exceptional job planning and executing all the details necessary for a memorable trip for me and my family.

I really appreciated how detail-oriented he was and how responsive he was to inquiries pre-trip and, when necessary, during the trip.

He deserves the highest recommendation from the experienced travelers that we are.

Richard

The trip was fantastic. Zicasso’s travel specialist was so helpful every step of the way. She made sure even the smallest details were perfect. I would definitely use her again.

Zicasso’s travel company was high-touch, responsive, and constructive, and arranged the best tour guides we could ask for. The travel company put together thoughtful itineraries that reflected our request list and were flexible to accommodate changes along the way. In short, they were the perfect partner to help arrange our trip.

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned our Morocco trip with a level of care and taste that made the whole journey feel effortless and genuinely special, and our driver was the kind of driver you feel lucky to have for a big family trip—steady, punctual, calm, and always looking out for us.

From the buzz and magic of Marrakech to the long, scenic drives (with perfectly timed stops), to the desert camp experience that ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the trip, everything flowed beautifully.

Fes was exciting, without feeling overwhelming, Chefchaouen was timed just right so we could actually soak in the Blue City vibe (especially in the evenings), and the pacing across the whole itinerary felt thoughtful rather than rushed.

Our travel specialist was super-responsive whenever we needed quick recommendations or minor tweaks, which mattered a lot on the ground. We’ll remember this trip for a long time and would recommend them to anyone who wants Morocco done right.

I chose Zicasso’s travel company for this trip, as they listened to my requests and adjusted the itinerary from the original proposal. Other companies forced me to take their proposals by saying there were limited hotel availabilities and/or my requests did not make sense. The overall itinerary we created together worked perfectly well, considering the days we spent in Sri Lanka.

The travel specialist was available and helpful whenever we needed help and/or had questions during the trip.

Zicasso’s travel specialist curated the perfect itinerary for my family. He was incredibly responsive throughout the process and understood our requirements and concerns, so he took care of everything. Egypt was also a very different vacation for our family.

We had an excellent trip with Zicasso’s tour company. Every representative we interacted with during the trip was very professional and helpful. The Egyptologists were extremely knowledgeable. We were escorted and assisted with all of our transfers between Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan, which was much appreciated.

It was a very nice trip, enjoyed by all in our group. Thank you.

Zicasso’s travel specialist did a fabulous job planning our 12-day trip to Japan! We took our two kids (12 and 14 years old) and worked together to come up with such an amazing and fun itinerary covering all of our interests.

In addition to seeing the sights around Tokyo and Kyoto, the travel specialist found us classes in and outside of the cities for sushi-making, Shibori fabric dyeing, and bamboo basket-making. We had the most wonderful guides, drivers, and translators take us to an organic green tea farm (an unexpected favorite!) and even managed to get tickets to the Ghibli Museum.

We had a phenomenal time and I look forward to working with this travel company again.

Our recent trip to Rome, Florence, and Venice, planned by Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team, was nothing short of exceptional. Every detail was handled with care, precision, and an obvious commitment to excellence. The hotels were truly top rate, perfectly located, and impeccably chosen to enhance the experience of each city. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate, adding depth and context that made each destination come alive.

What truly set this trip apart was the level of service. From seamless transfers to on-the-ground assistance, everything felt effortless. The recommendations and tips provided along the way were incredibly useful and allowed us to experience each city with confidence and ease. The assistants who helped guide us through logistics and navigation were attentive, professional, and reassuring, making the entire journey feel like true white-glove service from start to finish.

The travel specialist and her team exceeded every expectation. Their planning, responsiveness, and attention to detail transformed an already incredible itinerary into an unforgettable experience. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a flawlessly executed, high-end travel experience.

Zicasso’s travel specialist is amazing! She went out of her way to plan the best trip for 11 of us to Japan. She listened and understood exactly what we wanted. She is sweet and truly cares. Not only this, but she responds quickly.

As an added bonus, the travel company was reasonable, especially for all that was included. We were spoiled and had a driver and guide for most of the trip, so we did not have to worry about anything. We were also booked at lovely hotels, with delicious breakfasts and spacious rooms.

We absolutely loved our guide in Osaka and Kyoto. She was wonderful! She even got us hand warmers and gifts for Christmas! She was relaxed, positive, and went with the flow. She stayed later at times for us too! Our driver in Tokyo was able to get us a last-minute restaurant reservation for lunch because there was one more type of food we wanted to try there. He was very kind and flexible with us in Hakone too. Our guide in Tokyo was also very nice! Thank you to the team for our trip of a lifetime!!!!!

Zicasso’s travel company organized a 16-day private tour for my wife and me in Vietnam and Cambodia. We really enjoyed the trip. The guides and drivers were very friendly and helpful, and we did not have to worry about anything.

The travel company found some very nice local hotels in Vietnam and Cambodia, many of which we would never have booked ourselves since we did not know these local brands or hotels. They were truly special. Some of them had great views, all had very nice service, some included daily massages, and one had free laundry service every day (this was very helpful for a long trip). We truly enjoyed our trip.

Our 17-day itinerary of southern Spain was perfectly planned and a perfect pace for us (senior citizens). Zicasso’s travel company was extremely attentive, checking in to make sure all was going well. Our expectations were greatly exceeded and we had a fabulous trip.

Zicasso’s travel company was amazing to work with! They really took care of every detail for a worry-free experience! They were very responsive during planning and the trip. All of the locations and accommodations were exactly what I wanted. I cannot recommend them enough!

It was a bucket-list trip! Beautiful country, people, food, and history. Zicasso’s travel company delivered a wonderful trip for us—they were accommodating, communicative, and responsive. All the best things in a travel partner.

We highly recommend our travel specialist and her team!

Zicasso’s travel specialist helped arrange an amazing trip! He thought of every detail. I highly recommend him.

Working with Zicasso’s travel specialist was a pleasure the whole way through. He catered our Japan trip to our budget and interests, and delivered the trip of a lifetime. My wife and I had an absolute blast on the trip—we stayed in amazing hotels in fun areas, had awesome activities planned, and leveraged the super-helpful recommendations to get the most out of the experience.

Another great thing about working with the travel company was having all of our train tickets prepared for us when we landed. We were given a very organized packet of information on the cities we were staying in, with all of our train tickets organized chronologically and a pre-filled subway card that we added to our phones for easy access. This made travel so much easier and helped us on our adventure.

Overall, I would highly recommend working with Zicasso and this tour operator to anyone planning a big international trip.

Zicasso’s travel specialist and the team in Cuba were incredible! Every detail, every meal, and every excursion was expertly curated and exceeded our expectations. It was one of the best family trips to date. We were traveling with 18- and 21-year-old daughters, and everyone loved it!

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.

Top-notch service. The complicated, multi-city itinerary went off without a hitch. India is not an easy country to travel in, but we were in good hands throughout.

We received wonderful service. Zicasso’s travel specialists were always available to help in planning and executing the trip's plans.

The trip was made carefree by Zicasso's travel specialists. The destinations were well worth the visits and the guides, drivers, and captains were delightful.

This was my third customized trip with Zicasso. I previously worked with Zicasso to plan and take mother-daughter trips to Iceland and Croatia. They are the perfect company to help your dreams for a personally unique adventure come true!

This time, I traveled with my daughter, son, and daughter-in-law to Italy. My hope was for my daughter and son to see the towns where their great-grandfather and great-grandmother emigrated from in the Abruzzo region, in the towns of Roccamontepiano and Bugnara. My research had an address for where their great-grandfather was born. Our driver found the address and we took photos of us standing in front of the house, which could now be considered a real fixer-upper. Just the same, it was a moment never to be forgotten. Thank you to our driver and his wealth of information!

Our home base was in Pescara, where we enjoyed a walk on the beach, excellent local cuisine at a local restaurant, and seafood at another local restaurant. These were recommended by our local travel agent and were clearly favorites of the locals.

We had a wonderful tour in Chieti, an historic and cultural gem, with our guide. She too was a gem of a guide!

We then traveled to Venice, which was far less crowded with tourists than in the high season. Upon arrival, a private gondola ride during dusk and at sunset was a surreal way to be welcomed to this beautiful city.

The next day we had a magnificent tour of St. Mark's Basilica and Doge's Palace. Our guide was so engaging and knowledgeable, and eager to share ideas about other things to see while in Venice. We followed our tour with lunch at a historic restaurant, home to the invention of the Bellini. Yum! After lunch, we took the elevator to the top of the tower across from the basilica, with its spectacular panoramic view of the city and surrounding islands. Then our group splintered off—two of us did a Grand Canal boat ride and the other two headed to the isle of Murano to search for glass souvenir treasures.

Our next stop was Lake Como, with a one-hour unexpected stop in Verona. Thank you to our driver for suggesting the stop! Who knew there was a Roman arena and some to-die-for hot chocolate in Verona!

Then off to Lake Como. We had time before we could check in to our hotel, so we did a walkabout to acquaint ourselves with the city. We took a ride on the funicular for another delightful panoramic view and enjoyed cocktails while surveying the lake and city below. That evening, we traveled up into the mountains and had a marvelous meal at a mountain trattoria. We were just us and one other couple in the restaurant, and we watched the chef prepare our local food specialties from our table in front of the wood-burning fireplace. The mantel was adorned with trophies and photos of the local bocce teams over the decades. Again, if you want to travel for cibo delizioso, go to Italy!

The next day, we had a three-hour boat ride on Lake Como. Our skipper and guide made certain to point out and give some history on the villages dotting the coastline and the famous villas.

The following day we traveled north to Domaso for an afternoon at a family-run vineyard and restaurant with views of Lake Como and the Alps! Bellissimo! A family member gave us a wonderful tour of the history and the winemaking facility, as well as the many wines we sampled. We were treated to local charcuterie and ravioli that was made fresh while we were busy sampling. When we received the wine we ordered and shipped back home, they threw in extra gifts for us, with wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Then we were off to Milan for a chance to try our luck at making our own pasta, sauces, and gelato at a cooking school. Our chef instructor guided us as we made tagliatelle with a pesto sauce and pumpkin ravioli with a cream sauce. Of course, there were wine pairings! He made certain our creations were delicious!

That evening, we donned our fancy apparel and headed to La Scala to take in the opera, "Così fan tutte." The modern take on the comedy was refreshing and the venue was a must-see!

The next day, we were met by our guide, who shared the history of the UNESCO site of Santa Maria delle Grazie and Leonardo da Vinci’s "Last Supper" with expertise and reverence, while keeping us engaged. She likewise inspired us as we toured the Duomo di Milano, San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, and the controversial Il Dito sculpture outside the city’s stock exchange.

That evening, we experienced a delightful meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant. The chef, from Naples, created and explained a never-to-be-forgotten bite-sized sampling plate highlighting the tastes of Naples on a plate shaped like the region, with its various borders.

Before leaving Milan, we had a tour of La Scala and its adjacent museum with our guide. She provided us with a history lesson that was quite interesting. That night, we dined at a local seafood restaurant, another treasure clearly favored by the locals. Our waiter was a gem and sent us off with the gift of a bottle of wine.

Our final stop was Turin. Once again, we divided—two of us visited the National Museum of Cinema and the panoramic lift housed in the museum. At the top, we gained a wonderful sense of the city,and the cinema museum was a fun surprise! Our other two toured the Juventus Museum and Stadium, and they thoroughly enjoyed their experience as well.

Our final day, we met our guide, who spent the entire day with us, with only a short break, beginning with a gourmet food tour of traditional Piedmont dishes. Along the way, she shared insights into the history and cultural significance of the foods. Later in the day, she guided us through the Royal Palace of Turin, including the Holy Shroud Chapel, Armory, and Museum. Once again, we were treated to a knowledgeable and entertaining guide.

We departed the next day, leaving with priceless memories of our Italy adventure.

Thank you so much to Zicasso’s travel agent. You helped make our trip come true with such care. Grazie mille!

Everything was great, with a variety of activities. The hotels were perfect; great accommodations and perfectly located. It was nice to actually meet Zicasso’s travel specialist in Oslo.

Zicasso’s travel agent was beyond wonderful! If we could give him 10 stars, we would. He was so incredibly helpful with any “issues” or questions we had. I would highly recommend the travel company for anyone traveling to Costa Rica!!

It's hard to know where to start. First off, everything went as smoothly as could be. I traveled with a friend to Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Alexandria. We also took a four-night cruise on a dahabiya.

Our guide in Cairo and our guide in Luxor and Aswan were excellent, and presented us with far more information than it was possible to digest. Our guide in Luxor and Aswan, in particular, gave us a history lesson as we were sailing on the boat, as I sometimes found it hard to contextualize all that we were seeing. That was an enormous help.

We were taken to a couple of shops in Luxor and Aswan, and I'm always a little nervous about bargaining, as I worry I will come out on the losing end and resent being taken advantage of. I didn't buy anything at the alabaster shop, as I felt their prices started very high. I did buy some essential oils and a handcrafted bottle at a shop in Aswan, and though I don't know if I paid too much, I was very happy with what I bought, including a gift for a friend, who was thrilled.

My mobility is limited and I fatigue easily, so I was apprehensive about going on this trip and yet still eager to visit Egypt. The first few days I was very jet lagged, having traveled nearly 40 hours, and I was somewhat dazed and confused and didn't take everything in like I wanted to. But as time went on, I got progressively more into the journey.

The cruise on the dahabiya was so relaxing. We would see some sights, but also have time to gaze out to the river banks dotted with date palms while lounging on a chair. I kept pinching myself to think that I was sailing on the Nile River.

We met three other pairs of travelers, who were very pleasant. We had a barbecue on shore one night, where some hardy travelers could swim in the cold Nile River. There was local music and dancing. Ordinarily, I hate to dance, but they forced us all to join and before you know it, we were having a blast. The next night there was a belly dancer before dinner on board. If you can afford it, a small dahabiya is the way to go—far better, I can only imagine, than a huge cruise ship where you're stumbling over masses of people.

We took a side trip by plane to Abu Simbel. For some reason, our regular guides did not accompany us and a couple of Nubian guides took us around. They were subpar in their guidance, but very pleasant. And just to see Abu Simbel was worth the 3.45am wake-up call. Absolutely breathtaking; I will never get over it.

Before taking this trip, I was apprehensive, as I said, about my ability to get around, but our guide in Cairo, especially, was extremely considerate in making it possible for me to see everything in a way that was as smooth as possible. I am very grateful to him. He was a delightful man—warm, humorous, engaging, and, of course, highly knowledgeable. And our driver was lovely and the most amazing driver I have ever seen.

When I returned home, a friend who had been to Egypt last year asked me what my favorite experiences were. It's So hard to choose, but I would pick the Valley of the Kings for the brilliantly preserved and colorful iconography, Abu Simbel for its sheer overwhelming magnificence, and, of course, sailing on the Nile.

This was our fourth trip with Zicasso and, like the others, it was amazing and memorable. Even being back home for a while now, I’m still constantly thinking about how fun and unique this experience was. Morocco isn’t easy to navigate, but Zicasso, our travel specialist, and our team expertly guided and educated us on the special history, culture, food, traditions, and sites of this beautiful country.

We started in Marrakech and had night and day food tours in the medina. It was immersive and interesting, and almost an assault on the senses–super-cool experiences. We learned about the cultural influences through the centuries and our guides were experts in their historical and local knowledge. The street food night tour was an evening to remember, sampling all sorts of local foods at places that would be impossible to find on the web.

After our days in Marrakech, we traveled in a loop around Morocco for several days, passing through the High Atlas Mountains to Ouarzazate, Skoura Oasis, Merzouga, and the Sahara, followed by two and a half days in Fes, another cultural gem. It was an unforgettable journey, filled with highlights:

The boutique hotel in a literal oasis was beautiful and so well appointed–such friendly staff and owners, and perfect food.

Ait Ben Haddou (a kasbah) was like nothing we’d ever seen–no wonder it has been used in so many films. Our private guide there had been in nine movies!

The Sahara trek was unbelievable and my personal highlight. I almost still can’t believe it. A one-hour guided walk on a camel (they were friendly!), stopping to watch a beautiful sunset. It reminded me of the "Dune" movies. The moon literally rose on the opposite horizon as the sun was setting. Then, another 30 minutes on the camels under moonlight to a luxury camp. I say “camp,” but the small restaurant was deluxe and our tent was warm, luxurious, and, of course, had a full, regular bathroom. So not exactly camping!

Fes was super-interesting and our driver and guide ensured we saw so much of what makes Fes the cultural capital.

This was, overall, such a fun experience that will stay with me forever. We’ve recommended Morocco to many since returning!

We could not be happier with the planning and care provided by Zicasso’s travel company. The experiences shared were well beyond expectations and we would highly recommend them to anyone seeking an outstanding travel team.

While the trip ended up being considerably more expensive than we had originally planned, the extra attention that Zicasso’s travel specialist paid to our interests and travel goals made it more than worth the money. It was a fantastic experience and will stay with us forever.

My trip to Argentina was exceptional, thanks to Zicasso putting me in touch with the travel specialists. The planning, organizing, and execution of each day was delightful, and the service was impeccable. I intend to seek out the guidance of Zicasso in future global adventures. I am most appreciative of this glorious vacation in Argentina.

The best trip ever—Zicasso’s tour company made it unforgettable!

From start to finish, our experience with this travel company was nothing short of exceptional. We booked a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to Uganda and Kenya, with the highlights being gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and safari game drives across the vast savannas of Kenya. This travel company exceeded every expectation we had.

Pre-Trip Planning and Communication

The travel company stood out right away with their responsiveness and attention to detail. Every question was answered quickly and thoughtfully, and the itinerary was crafted to match exactly what we hoped for—an authentic, adventurous journey with comfort, safety, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We always felt well taken care of, even before the trip began.

Uganda–Gorilla Trekking

The highlight in Uganda—and of our trip—was, without a doubt, the trek to see the mountain gorillas. Our guides and trackers were extraordinary, making sure we were prepared and knew what to expect. The moment we found ourselves just feet away from a gorilla family in the wild was beyond words—humbling, emotional, and unforgettable.

The travel company chose excellent accommodations, blending comfort with proximity to the parks.

Kenya–Safari Adventures

In Kenya, we explored some of the most iconic safari landscapes. Our guides were not only skilled drivers, but also walking encyclopedias of wildlife knowledge. We were lucky to witness elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, leopards, and even the elusive cheetah—all up close, with plenty of time to observe and take it all in.

The safari camps were beautiful and thoughtfully chosen, offering amazing food, warm hospitality, and the perfect balance between comfort and adventure.

Guides and Team

The travel company’s team truly elevated this trip. Every guide we met was passionate, friendly, and dedicated to making sure we had the best possible experience. We felt safe and cared for every step of the way, and their expertise allowed us to see and learn so much more than we could have imagined.

Overall Experience

This trip exceeded every expectation. It wasn’t just a vacation; it was an adventure that touched us deeply and left us with memories we will cherish forever. This travel company’s professionalism, personal touch, and deep knowledge of East Africa made all the difference.

If you are considering a safari or gorilla-trekking experience, we wholeheartedly recommend this travel company. They deliver not just a trip, but a truly life-changing journey.

It was an amazing trip, with great planning. The whole trip was seamless, thanks to Zicasso’s travel company.

Zicasso’s travel agent gave us great ideas and put together an itinerary for our trip that met all of our desires. The team executed our hotels, tours, and travel details with precision and great care.

Zicasso’s travel agent was the best! He was so patient with us while we were working out exactly what we wanted from our trip and made many excellent suggestions, which ended up becoming highlights.

Also, and this is something I’ve never heard of before, he personally met us at our hotel to welcome us to his country! I can’t say enough good things.

From the very beginning of the trip planning to the final transfer to the airport to fly home, the trip was flawless! We traveled with a multi-generational group of six, and Zicasso’s travel company listened to our varied needs and wants and delivered. All communications were timely and well presented.

For us, this was a “helmets-and-harnesses” trip, with adventure tours every day. We chose to make many of the tours we took private, and our guides went out of their way to make our adventures extra special.

We had a well-planned trip, but also had wonderful serendipitous moments provided by our guides and drivers. I would highly recommend this travel company for planning a trip to Costa Rica.

I only have wonderful things to say about our experience with Zicasso’s travel company. From the moment I booked with them, I knew I made a great decision. They carefully listened to our ideas and planned an excellent itinerary, with fabulous tour guides and hotels.

They added a personal touch that made us feel like we were friends. Every night, we received a message with our itinerary. When our return flight was delayed overnight, our travel specialist worked diligently to find accommodations. Thank you to the team for making our vacation memorable.

The trip was great. Zicasso’s travel specialist and her crew put together a great itinerary and left us plenty of downtime, so we were not exhausted each evening. The drivers were good and, although not guides, offered plenty of history along the way. All the guides were exceptional.

We loved all the hotels, especially our hotel in the mountains. That was very special.

The travel specialist had obviously passed along the note that we did not want to go shopping, like sometimes happens with the guides.

The food and restaurant suggestions were all good.

Overall, it was a very well-planned and articulated agenda. The software that they use to keep in contact worked very well once I understood it! Lol.

My only comment was that on trips in the past, the beginning of the trip started with a personal stop at our hotel by a representative from the company. I understood later that their headquarters is in a more remote area. But if I was a new traveler, I would have enjoyed putting a face with the name. Fortunately, the package they left at the hotel did indeed have all our tickets and passes.

I would definitely recommend this travel company and would use them again.

Our trip to Italy was absolutely amazing. Zicasso’s travel company provided exceptional service and attention to detail. We had never used a travel company for arrangements prior to this trip and we are so glad we did. It made the trip stress-free and truly over-the-top.

Our favorite time on the trip was at a location recommended by our travel agent in a very small area called Ciociaria. We loved this location and our resort in Ciociaria. The staff was incredible and we felt so relaxed.

I have been telling all my family and friends about the travel company’s services and that I will use them for future trips. I am so thankful to Zicasso for connecting me to an incredible experience with our travel company.

I went on a two-week trip through France and Spain, and my experience with Zicasso’s travel specialist was amazing! She was incredibly responsive and communicative, and made sure my trip went as smoothly as possible.

Zicasso’s travel agent truly knows what is best for her clients. Without her, we wouldn’t have made the same choices or had nearly as much fun. She is transparent, laying out options along with their pros and cons, which we really appreciated and have not always experienced with other travel agents. Every request and arrangement was delivered as promised, with no miscommunications—again, something we greatly value. All in all, working with this travel agent for our Greece tour was a very positive experience.

It was a nicely prepared and executed trip. The staff was responsive and seemed quite knowledgeable. The local vendors used were all professional, seemed passionate about what they do, and were quite accommodating and flexible.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have found Zicasso’s travel specialist and the tour company. She, along with our amazing guides, gave us the most amazing experience in Portugal that I know we would not have had without their guidance. I wanted to make sure we had the typical tourist attractions and some that were not typical.

Our travel specialist planned a perfect trip from Lisbon to Porto for us. She was always a text or call away for any questions and was the most amazing host. Our guides were wonderful and they were very knowledgeable about the country and the places they took us to. It was so nice going into little cafés and special places that they wanted us to see, which we would never have gone to on our own.

We have traveled all over the world and this travel team is top-notch!!

We loved working with Zicasso’s travel specialist during the planning phase of this three-week trip to Argentina and Chile. She took the time to listen carefully to our trip goals, our “must-dos,” and our “don’t likes.” She helped us design our dream journey, put all the pieces together by working with her contacts in-country, was available for questions, provided her advice and guidance along the way, and made modifications as needed.

She was a pleasure to work with and we could tell that her main goal was to ensure we would have the trip we wanted and that everything would go as planned. She was also available during our trip in case anything went astray and ensured we had local contacts in case they were needed. We had the trip of a lifetime, and she made it happen for us. We are very grateful for her help and will definitely use her again for future trips.

We had a wonderful trip, thanks to Zicasso’s travel specialist and the tour operator. We had to skip Brazil due to personal schedules, but Chile and Argentina were great. All the hotels, drivers, and guides were outstanding. We were very pleased with everything!

Zicasso’s travel company was the most amazing travel agency to deal with. From our first meeting, they listened to what I wanted and helped me create the most amazing trip. The tour guides and hotels they used were amazing. Thank you, this travel company, for making our trip of a lifetime.

This trip to Panama was nothing short of spectacular!

Not a single detail was overlooked. Every transfer, every tour guide, every person that we met, and every destination we went to was absolutely wonderful.

This trip was exceptional! Incredibly well planned and incredibly thought out. The tours were excellent and the experiences were unforgettable. The agroecology cooking experience was out of this world! We even had a rainbow appear in the sky while we were there and we credited Zicasso’s travel company with setting it up—that’s how perfect it was!

This was our first time using a travel agency for a trip like this and Zicasso’s travel company completely exceeded our expectations. Traveling internationally with pre-teen children can be stressful, but from the very beginning, this travel company removed every bit of that anxiety. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, clearly communicated, and flawlessly executed.

From airport transfers to hotels, tours, trains, guides, and daily logistics, everything worked seamlessly. We never once felt lost, rushed, or unsure of what was next. Instead of worrying about schedules or navigating a foreign country, we were able to fully focus on our family and enjoy the experience. That peace of mind alone was invaluable.

What really stood out was how well the trip was tailored to our family. The pacing was perfect, the experiences were engaging for adults and kids, and every guide we worked with was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. It truly felt like a curated, high-quality experience rather than a generic itinerary.

We came home with incredible memories and zero travel stress, something I didn’t think was possible with kids that age. This travel company was phenomenal and we would absolutely use them again, and recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering international travel, especially families.

I was immediately impressed by Zicasso’s travel agent’s professionalism and the initial outline he prepared after reading my notes of what we’d like to do on our trip.

His revision included most everything we wanted to do (even the pineapple tour!).

As an event planner myself, I understand the amount of work and time it takes to prepare an itinerary. He nailed it!

This is the third trip we’ve booked through Zicasso and we’ve already booked our fourth for 2026.

Zicasso’s travel company did a great job.

We really enjoyed our trip to Argentina and Chile. All the hotels were great and the transfers went smoothly. We enjoyed the excursions. Some we liked better than others, but that’s to be expected. We really enjoyed our time in El Chalten, El Calafate, and Torres del Paine. The scenery was spectacular. Patagonia should be on everybody’s bucket list if they enjoy hiking and the great outdoors.

Thanks again to this travel company for setting everything up. We also really appreciated the service they provided during the trip. When we had a question or needed to move a couple of things around because of weather, they were easy to get a hold of and very helpful. That’s important, as there’s always something that comes up.

I would definitely recommend this travel company to anyone wanting a private, customized trip to Argentina and Chile. 

We had a fantastic trip to Cambodia and Laos!!! Zicasso’s tour company went above and beyond our expectations.

Every guide and driver was awesome. They were prompt, informative, helpful, and, most importantly, very personable. If there were any concerns, the guides handled the issue in a professional and timely manner.

The hotels and accommodations were always five-star and exceeded our expectations.

On our trip, we journeyed from the hectic life of cities to the simple subsistence life of remote villages. We learned about local history, culture, religion, and food. We saw Angkor Wat, literally one of the wonders of the world, as well as seeing the horrors of the reign of the Khmer Rouge.

In Cambodia and Laos, this trip was full of wonderful experiences, education, and excitement. It broadened our understanding of the world, just as travel should. Thank you for recommending this travel company to us.

Zicasso’s travel company did a great job with our tours. Our dedicated driver added so much to our vacation. The house and views were fantastic. Wildlife was abundant.

The only thing I would change would be the sailing trip, as three of us got seasick. This kind of boat was awful for those of us who suffer that fate—a catamaran, which I have been on many times without getting seasick, would have been a better choice for us. We saw pilot whales!

This review is long overdue, but better late than never! Zicasso’s travel agent helped us plan our South African adventure and it was the perfect vacation. Everything went completely flawlessly and all the accommodations were fantastic. The communication and service she provided were excellent and I just wish she was the person who could plan all of our vacations. We did Cape Town, Kruger, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, and it was the ultimate bucket-list trip. Her plan made it the best vacation ever!!!

Zicasso’s travel agent planned the most wonderful trip to celebrate my husband’s retirement. We began in Panama City, staying at an amazing hotel in the heart of it all. He arranged a fascinating backstage tour of the Panama Canal, where we watched massive cruise ships pass through the final lock. A walking gastronomy tour led us to hidden culinary gems throughout the city, with a local café being my favorite stop. He also provided an excellent list of restaurants, conveniently located near our hotel.

Our next destination was Boquete, where we stayed at our resort in Boquete. The massages there were exceptional—be sure to book the volcanic clay massage; it’s unforgettable. We enjoyed a Geisha coffee tour (the most expensive coffee in the world), a rum-tasting adventure, and a hike along the Pipeline Trail. Some sections were easy, while others offered just the right amount of challenge.

Our final stop was, without question, the highlight of the trip: Isla Palenque. It felt like stepping into Jurassic Park—minus the dinosaurs. The views were absolutely stunning in every direction. The food was beyond amazing and the tours were educational and exciting.

Our travel agent truly makes dreams come true.

Our Zicasso agent and the hotel were excellent. The itinerary was perfect for our limited time and our local guide was awesome.

Zicasso’s travel agents and their team did an amazing job planning our trip to England. They took into consideration all the things we enjoy as a family and planned a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip across the pond.

It was great! The guides were terrific, smart, and helpful. They listened to us and accommodated changes and requests when they were made.

I apologize for the delay in writing this review, but was very busy the last few months and wanted to dedicate the time it deserved. This review will address my wife and my trip to Italy from September 26, 2025, to October 6, 2025. Please feel free to share all or any portion of this review.

Trip Planning:

As a bucket-list event, I spent a great deal of time doing research, but would not have been able to put together the ideal vacation without the support of Zicasso and the travel company. Upon hearing my general interests, Zicasso provided two groups whom they thought would be able to plan and implement my trip. Both groups interviewed me and my wife about interests and price range, and then prepared an initial itinerary. Both groups would have done a fantastic job by their presentation, but it seemed I was slightly more in tune with the travel company and selected them. This proved to be a very wise choice, as the entire team at the travel company, particularly the travel specialists, were the absolute best and I would recommend their service without reservation. Fully responsive to my many questions before the trip, addressing all potential itinerary changes, and providing invaluable guidance throughout the entire process. Their response to inquiries while in the country was unbelievably prompt and thorough. At our request, the travel specialists made restaurant recommendations and reservations that were spot-on. I can’t say enough good things about these ladies.

Transportation and travel between locations:

Although not involved in the flights, the travel specialists provided great guidance concerning flights, trip insurance, and other logistics.

One key point that I fully expressed was that I did not want to flounder at the various transportation points and did not want to lug luggage in foreign areas on the way to and from lodging. The team took this to heart and provided me with either an escort or driver to and from every terminal. Everyone providing this task was friendly and provided information that made the travel much easier. Particularly valuable were our escorts, who adeptly negotiated our entrance and exit from Venice, and provided great insights into this historic city.

Venice:

Our hotel in Venice seemed to be right in the middle of everything, which allowed us to explore, and we have never had so much fun getting lost. At night, we opened our windows and fell off to sleep listening to nearby music; it was idyllic. The staff was professional and friendly. Breakfast was the best of all the hotels we stayed at in Italy.

The first full day in Venice, the travel company leveraged “skip the line” so we could make the very most of our time and is essential to any planning. Both guides were great and really good company. One guide’s knowledge of the Doge Palace really brought it to life for us. Another guide had a real insider’s view of Burano, as this was her family’s island. As private tours, we could go at our own pace, which we really liked. Probably the least enjoyable tour was the glass factory in Murano. We got the impression most of the tour beyond the initial exhibition was an attempt to sell their products. My wife succumbed and purchased a pair of earrings that broke the first time she wore them. Really disappointing, and I would advise you to spend more time in Burano.

Florence:

As with all the trains, the travel was very comfortable and we enjoyed watching the scenery. Our lodging in Florence was right on the Santa Maria square, superb for people watching. The staff was fine, nothing more. The hotel was near the world’s oldest pharmacy, famous as the world's oldest perfumery. Although there is a line to enter, it goes quickly and is historical, to say nothing of buying a scent more than 400 years old. I strongly recommend you go.

While knowledgeable, our tour guide for the Accademia and Uffizi Galleries was a little too technical for us, leaving us with the feeling that we were taking an art history class.

Dinner was based on the travel specialist's recommendation and it was delicious. A strong recommendation.

Day trip to Pisa:

The travel arrangements were perfect. The purpose of the trip was to take the obligatory picture holding up the tower—hokey, but we loved it.

The private cooking class with our instructor was a lot of fun. The view of the city from her window at sunset was beautiful. My wife and our instructor fell into a real rhythm cooking, and she was kind enough not to scoff at my ham-handed attempts. Her directions were simple enough for me to follow, theoretically. She followed up her lesson with an email containing detailed recipes. We have purchased all necessary utensils and are planning a pasta-making party soon. This was a fun change of pace.

Rome:

Our bed-and-breakfast in Rome was our least favorite lodging. Entry into the building was confusing and, as a B&B, the desk was not manned all the time, which made it difficult to secure a taxi early in the morning (we had to walk to a nearby hotel) or get assistance after 8pm or before 6am. When we came in, we attempted to coordinate laundry service with the person working the front desk, followed his instructions, but when we returned the next day, our dirty clothes were still where we were told to leave them. The initial response from the on-duty staff, who I believe was the owner, was that the individual was no longer an employee. Ultimately, the hotel comped and completed our laundry, which was nice. We would have preferred different lodging.

Our first afternoon, we took a four-hour golf cart tour, which was our favorite tour of the entire trip. Adding an extra hour to the traditional length and having only my wife and me allowed us to do everything we wanted to do. Our driver took us everywhere. He would drop us at the top of the Spanish Steps and meet us at the bottom, and would conveniently bring us closest to all other locations. I can’t believe how much we did in four hours. Our driver brought all these iconic sites to life with his marvelous insight and provided a great insider view of these monuments. This is a must-do for all first-time visitors to Rome. The only thing we were not able to do, due to no fault of our driver, was the Aventine Keyhole. When we got there in the afternoon, the line was 45 minutes and not a wise use of our time. If this is a strong interest, he recommends going early in the morning.

The travel specialists arranged tickets for the Papal general audience on Wednesday. Rising at sunrise was worth it to get the seats as close as we were able to secure. Most online sites suggest getting there an hour and a half before the start time, but I think that is much too late. I recommend you get there three to four hours ahead to get the best seats. The best seats are on the end near where the Pope drives by, ideally near an infant, and His Holiness will stop to personally bless these children. Facing the stage, the right side filled up quicker than the left side, so go directly to the left side of the audience. Being so close to the first American-born Pope was a memory I will never forget. His Holiness blesses all items in the audience's possession, so load up on rosary beads; they will make great Baptism and Communion gifts.

The afternoon was our first group tour at the Vatican Museums. It might be that we were spoiled with the previous private tours, but linking up with the group was chaotic and the quality of the tour was contingent on those in our group. Fortunately, all our groups were good, considerate, and friendly people. The main value was skipping the line for entrance. As with the Doge Palace, our guide was a little too academic and didn't really manage time well, potentially a victim of being in a group, but I would have rather spent more time in the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica. Taxis were extremely hard to get back to the hotel and I would arrange a ride if I were to do it again.

The Thursday tour of the Colosseum and Forum was also a group tour, but led by a guide who brought this ancient land to life. An archaeologist by trade, our guide seemed to know everything and also took a great picture.

The end of a very long but enjoyable day was another group tour of the catacombs and Santa Maria Maggiore. While the catacombs were the main attraction, the after-hours and behind-the-scenes access to Santa Maria Maggiore was an unexpected gem. Going through a second Holy Door, viewing the magnificent nighttime skyline from the roof, seeing the location of a relic from the baby Jesus’ manger, and being struck by the modesty of Bernini’s and Pope Francis’s tombs were all highlights. Unfortunately, taxis were again hard to come by.

Sorrento:

We took a train from Rome to Naples. While there was a national strike, it did not prove more than an inconvenience, no worse than New York City on a regular day. Our driver from Naples told us this simply provided us with a genuine Italian experience. I wish I could remember this driver’s name because he was the best of a very good group of drivers during this trip. En route to Sorrento, we stopped for a tour and meal at a winery and a private skip-the-line tour of Pompeii. We were so impressed with the quality of the winery that we made a large purchase of wines and olive oils that, thankfully, included free shipping.

During our drive to Sorrento, our driver took us through his hometown, which we really enjoyed. Going through the town, he pointed out the birthplace of Bruce Springsteen’s mother. Little did he know, we were from New Jersey and are HUGE Springsteen fans.

Our hotel in Sorrento was a nice place, close to the center of town. I would have preferred a hotel with a view of the coast.

On Saturday, we took a private tour up the coast. This was the most comfortable car I have ever ridden in, with heated and cooled seats, and a convenient icebox. The driver made clear he was at our disposal. The scenery was marvelous and it was a thrill to dip our toes in the Med. Our driver hooked us up with a restaurant on a cliff overlooking the water—beautiful and scrumptious.

Our last day was supposed to be the Gozzo tour of Capri, but was canceled due to weather. We refunded the canceled boat tour, but ate the driver and ferry fees. In hindsight, knowing this day was largely contingent on weather, I would have liked to have a contingency plan and would advise the travel company to plan this in the future.

Based on how smoothly things went, we will be contacting Zicasso to arrange a trip to Iceland and Ireland next fall, and hope they can refer a team as talented as this travel company.

This was our first trip to Mexico. The transportation was right on time, the driver was friendly, and it was totally hassle- and stress-free. The tour guides were probably the best we have ever had. They were very knowledgeable about history, culture, food, and alcohol. We came home with several bottles of mezcal. The communication between us and Zicasso's travel company was seamless. It was a pleasure working with them.

Zicasso's travel specialist and his team were amazing, and we felt supported every step of the way. His team sent us notes before and after each event, and all of the drivers were on time. I would highly recommend him and his team.

Zicasso's travel specialist was very good at interpreting what we were looking for. We were very pleased.

Zicasso’s travel specialist and the travel company were fantastic from the moment I made initial contact, throughout the booking process, then pre-departure, and throughout my trip.

They were always helping, keeping me updated, and giving me helpful suggestions and tips. They worked with me to ensure the trip I had planned was delivered exactly.

I couldn’t have asked for more and would wholeheartedly recommend this travel company to anybody traveling and wishing to look for a travel agent who goes above and beyond.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was our trip advisor and planner for a family trip to Stockholm and Norway, including a two-day stay in Tromsø chasing the Northern Lights. Although the Northern Lights did not appear for us, their absence did not dim our experiences, as organized for us.

She spent time and energy listening to what we wanted to hear from guides, as well as what we wanted to experience in each city we visited on our own. Equally important, she understood our budget and stayed within its limits.

Her suggestions for restaurants, her travel tips on clothing, her knowledge of the culture, her selection of private guides, and her careful listening to our needs made all the difference between a good trip and an excellent one. For example, I have an extreme shellfish allergy and every restaurant where she made reservations for us knew of that allergy before we walked in.

I cannot recommend her more highly. It was a privilege to work with her.

From my first conversation with Zicasso’s travel specialist, I knew he was listening to me and understood the type of trip our group was hoping to take. The itinerary he developed was specific to our requests, but he also made suggestions that enhanced our experience. His excellent and timely communication made for a stress-free trip. All hotels, guides, and drivers were exceptional. We were absolutely pleased with our entire trip experience and would not hesitate to recommend his services.

The overall trip was fantastic and we had very few minor issues over the four-week trip to New Zealand.

Our trip to Austria and Germany was initiated with a desire to see the Christmas markets. And yes, these were magical, but Zicasso’s travel company also included guided trips at each location to fully enjoy our trip. The private ride through Bavaria to Neuschwanstein Castle was Christmas-card picturesque. Walking through Vienna on a guided tour was as if we were visiting Franz Joseph and Sisi. The travel company created an itinerary that balanced the needs of a group with different ages, interests, and budgets, and everyone had a magnificent time.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was absolutely amazing! I appreciated his insight and help when I initially presented my preferences. I think he did a fabulous job organizing our schedule and answering all my questions. He was always attentive and thorough. Later on, when his co-worker took over, she was also very thorough in explaining and answering any questions I had. Most of our tours were absolutely fantastic.

Thank you to Zicasso’s travel specialist and her amazing staff. The itinerary was fabulous. It was filled with food, wine, and highlights of the most important tourist places. Her guidance throughout the year-plus planning was the right amount of checking in and waiting. Thank you for the nudges to have reservations for all the holiday days. Things seemed to be pretty open overall, but it was nice not to worry.

All the restaurants set up for us were wonderful. The app was terrific to keep track of what we were doing when. All the drivers were very friendly, professional, and punctual.

Thank you for making our 35th wedding anniversary trip (December 22 2024 to January 6 2025) a most memorable one. We hope to return to Italy to enjoy the southern area and maybe some of the beaches and islands.

It was a fantastic trip! We had enough to do in every location, but still enough free time to explore on our own. I do wish we had been given a bit more detail on some of the tours; we were surprised a few times. It did not negatively impact us, but it would have been nice to be more prepared.

We started our planning with Zicasso’s travel specialist, and she was fabulous to work with in creating the perfect itinerary. We then transferred to another travel specialist, who completed the work and created a bucket-list trip for us. Every detail was perfect. The drivers and guides were incredible and very flexible with our pace of traveling. We reconnected with the travel specialist during our trip through WhatsApp. She again kept us informed on schedules and contacts during our travels. The selected hotels were perfect for us. This was our third trip with a Zicasso partner and I am sure we will be back for adventure.

We had a great trip and highly recommend others visit Costa Rica. Zicasso’s travel agent recommended great hotels and activities, and found outstanding local guides. We were amazed by the local wildlife that infused each element of our trip. The travel agent was responsive throughout the trip, including when we needed to change transportation arrangements because of a delayed flight.

The head of Zicasso's travel agency was well-organized, responsive, and caring. Our driver was very good. Accommodations and activities were well planned and enjoyable. The trip was good value for the price. I would highly recommend.

The travel plans were excellent, both for the train arrangements and the hotel accommodations. The three individual guides who escorted us on separate days were wonderful people. We would be delighted to encounter all three of them in the future.

We particularly enjoyed the activities and locations we were escorted to.

We’d definitely do this again with the same guides and the same attention to detail, given our travel and accommodations. Thank you.

It is hard to know where to start. This trip was fantastic. The itinerary was fabulous. The hotels were top-notch. The guide was incredible. Zicasso’s travel specialist worked so hard for us. He was very responsive and professional. Highly recommended.

This was the trip of a lifetime! Zicasso’s travel specialist and the travel company were able to curate the perfect honeymoon in Australia, which hit everything we wanted to see in the short time we had. Every single tour operator we were paired with was incredible.
