Middle East & North Africa Travel Agents and Reviews

Our trip was to Istanbul. We spent five full days there. Our Zicasso travel specialist did an amazing job. Every detail was thought through and last-minute requests were handled very quickly and very well.

We had a marvelous, very knowledgeable private guide who knew a great deal about history, architecture, and local culture, just as we had requested. We visited all the major sights in great depth: the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, spice market, and much more, then added on a few, like the Basilica Cistern and a later mosque by the architect of the Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent. Our guide was very flexible and focused on our interests. Lunch was included every day and no matter where we were, our guide was able to find a great choice, with local food, as we wanted, and with air conditioning, which was pretty important given the temperatures were in the high 80s at peak.

On that note, our agent’s team was able to help us out by getting private transportation at a discounted price when the extra walking in the heat needed to use public transportation started to trigger my migraines. Overnight, his team arranged private transportation for us, which really saved the trip for me.

Overall, I highly recommend our agent and his team for a trip to Turkey. The excellence of the arrangements, our amazing guide, and the quick response to last-minute issues make me confident they would be an outstanding choice for anyone.

Overall, the travel agency arranged an amazing and unforgettable tour for us in Israel. LeeAnn is extremely organized, positive, and knowledgeable about Israel. She was able to propose an amazing itinerary and worked with us on edits until it was perfect.During the tour itself, she was very hands-on and reached out to us frequently to ensure everything was running smoothly. There were some minor scheduling issues (as can be expected on a nine-day tour), but she was very hands-on and proactive at fixing.

I would highly recommend this travel company and look forward to working with them again.

Zicasso's travel company is truly the best of the best. If I could rate them 10 stars, I would. They made it possible for my 75-year-old mom and me to have the trip of a lifetime in Egypt, in the most comfortable and exhilarating way. The owner is a top-notch, enthusiastic travel planner who takes the time to really get to know his clients, their needs, and interests. From the start, after speaking to him, I felt very comfortable and confident that this trip would be unique and special.

We opted for a private tour through Egypt, allowing us to experience it at our own pace, which was invaluable. Our travel team seamlessly adjusted any detail that needed attention. For instance, my mom couldn't handle the heat in the afternoon. Our Egyptologist in Luxor and Aswan arranged a boat ride to the Valley of the Kings, shaving off travel time and enabling my mom to tour it comfortably. He graciously assisted her multiple times, ensuring her safety during the tour.

Our Egyptologist in Cairo and Faiyum immersed us in Egyptian culture while ensuring our comfort. She swiftly helped us change our room in Faiyum when we realized my mom had difficulty with stairs. Similarly, our representative in Cairo provided exceptional care. He fixed a broken necklace I purchased in Aswan and accompanied us for last-minute shopping at Khan Al Kalili in Cairo, ensuring my mom's comfort throughout.

There were numerous other incredible people, including airport, ship, and hotel staff, who were amazing. This incredible team provided top-notch service, feeling like family to us. I highly recommend them when visiting Egypt. They made our dreams come true on an amazing mother-and-daughter odyssey. 

Zicasso’s travel company planned an outstanding trip. From the tours and excursions to the transfers and accommodations, the trip was excellent, a great balance of activity and education for our family of four.

We were delayed getting into Milan, but the driver was updated, so we had no challenges getting to our hotel.

We have just returned from a 16-day tour of France, and I must say, my wife and I could not have been happier with our experience with Zicasso’s travel company. From the moment I contacted our agent with the idea of a luxury gastronomic tour of France to the conclusion two days ago, everything was exceptional. Each interaction with our agent or her staff was smooth and effortless. No travel request was unreasonable. It truly was a seamless experience from start to finish.

In addition, the tours she recommended and the guides leading them were excellent. From a cooking class with a local Provençal home chef to a food and wine expert in Bordeaux, each experience was memorable and invaluable. As if that weren't enough, our travel company topped it off with multiple surprise gifts (including dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants), adding a dimension to our travels that I don't think you could easily find elsewhere. So, with the utmost confidence, I recommend our agent and her staff for planning your next trip.

I can confidently say that you will have the trip of a lifetime because she and her company won’t stop until they ensure you do!
