Central America Travel Agents & Reviews

Mauricio was absolutely wonderful! He spoke on the phone with us multiple times in planning our trip to make sure we were getting exactly the experience we were looking for asking about the level of adventure we were seeking, our favorite activities, and had suggestions that we hadn't even considered. It made us feel so excited that he was as invested in our experience being fun and unique as we were! Once we arrived in Costa Rica, we felt immediately welcomed with little stuffed sloth friends greeting us in our airport transfer. Everything wildly exceeded our expectations! Our accommodations were AMAZING and wildly exceeded our expectations. All of our guides were so personable and fun, and Mauricio somehow managed to always have us be with a small group or have private excursions. The cherry on top was how communicative he was during our trip to make sure that we were having an excellent time!

My husband and I planned this trip to Costa Rica as a gift for my grandson, age 13, and granddaughter, age 10. Most impressive was the Zicasso travel agent's choice of hotels.

In Arenal, we had a very spacious two-bedroom, two-bath unit. The master suite included an enormous spa which entertained the kids when a thunderstorm prevented them from enjoying the pool. This was a very safe, family-friendly resort overlooking the volcano. There were several hot springs and a swimming pool that we took advantage of. Breakfast was good and offered plenty of variety.

The hotel in Manuel Antonio was conveniently located within walking distance of an array of good restaurants. The unit was a modern three-bedroom, two-bath unit and the elevator took you directly to your unit.

In addition to the fabulous accommodations, every activity we booked went as planned and everyone showed up on time.

It was a real pleasure working with Zicasso’s travel agency to put together a tour which took into consideration all our requirements. When we arrived, they provided us with a WhatsApp contact, which was great to have, but fortunately, we did not need it. The 14-day tour around Costa Rica worked perfectly. All but one of our transfers were private and the drivers always arrived on time and were friendly and knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, so even the transfers provided interesting sightings. The hotels were very different in style, some large, others small, and we loved that variety.

There was one very small change to our flight time from Puerto Jiménez to San José, which the agency notified us about in good time. They also updated the hotel. Top marks to this company!

We recently returned from a trip to Costa Rica. The Zicasso travel company set it up for my husband, me, our son, daughter-in-law and grandsons aged 18 and 16. Their planning and execution were flawless.

Our agent, his wife, and our driver met us at the airport with chocolate and a Costa Rican print for each of us. We had transportation for all three places we visited (La Fortuna, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio), as well as transportation for all our excursions. In La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio, we stayed at high-end resorts and loved them. In Monteverde we stayed at a hotel. The staff there were outstanding.

The travel agents checked on us several times during the trip and were always available if we had a problem. We had no problems, but they were always available if needed.

The entire trip was well organized and very well paced. I didn’t know exactly what to do in Belize, but told Zicasso’s trip planner that we wanted to get away for our anniversary, relax, and not feel rushed. She took that and captured the essence of Belize in the time we had.

It felt like our agent only worked with the best possible companies for each service we had on our trip. From transportation to adventure set-ups, every company we encountered in Belize was reliable, made confirmations the night before, and on time.

Our agent was also quick to respond to emails, very helpful, and honest about what she felt would be a good versus overrated/underwhelming adventure. And she was quick to problem solve, even while we were in Belize. For example, our cabana was unbearably hot, miserable to sleep in, and we dreaded having to spend any more time in the room than necessary. I sent her an email about the room on the first night before finally falling asleep. By morning, she had already contacted management and had our rooms changed. Done, like magic! No hiccups, no guilt trips; they apologized and made sure the room was acceptable before resettling us.

I know we will go back to Belize and I know we will ask our agent to help us find the hidden gems while we are there.

Thank you!!

The Zicasso travel agency planned and organized our fun trip to Belize. They were eager to listen to what we wanted to do, provide insight and ideas, and work with the schedule and budget we suggested. We were a small group that wanted individualized attention and they accommodated that.

We covered Belize. We explained how much we wanted to see in a limited amount of time and they achieved that. As we neared, they were in solid communication so we would know what to expect and how to stay in touch. On the occasions when we needed assistance, they immediately got back to us.

I would recommend this travel company to others for their travel needs.

We had an amazing trip to Costa Rica and feel that, overall, the travel agency did an amazing job accommodating the needs/interests of our group of seven by finding fun and accessible excursions for us. 

All private transport was on time (or early) and the drivers were incredibly friendly. The accommodations were very nice and the tours were fantastic. We feel there was great value for the price we paid. This was a trip of a lifetime!

Zicasso’s travel company did a great job planning our 10-day vacation in Panama. The hotel and activity recommendations were excellent, all of the transfers were smooth, and all of the selected guides were professional. Our agent and her team made trip planning easy, while keeping it within budget! From scheduled tours to providing the resources for us to figure out “solo” plans, we had everything we needed at each destination.
