Italy Tour Review: Pompeii, Capri, 10-Day Trip

The trip was wonderful. Zicasso's travel agent and her staff planned the perfect 10-day trip. The accommodations, the drivers, the guides, and the restaurant recommendations were perfect. The communication was excellent and timely. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. The staff were very attentive and flexible, even when we wanted some small changes, such as pick-up times for the drivers. They adapted and made it all work. This travel agent is absolutely terrific.

Fiji, Australia Vacation Review: Kangaroo Island, 20 Nights...

Zicasso's travel professional was very attentive in listening to what was important to us and planned a trip that exceeded our expectations. All the details of our trip were provided well ahead of time and then a couple of weeks prior to our trip, he set up a video call to review the entire itinerary in detail to make sure we knew everything we needed to. I highly recommend the travel company and would definitely use them again if planning a trip to this region.

Ireland Trip Review: Dublin, Kinsale, Killarney, Galway,...

We had a great 10-day trip. Zicasso’s travel designer was super-responsive in working through our itinerary and on our trip itself. We traveled to Dublin, Kinsale, Killarney, and Galway. The hotels were all central, close to town and trains. All of the drivers and guides were prompt and on time. I would definitely recommend our agent.

Zicasso's travel planners were great to work with, giving us great flexibility in tailoring our tour exactly the way we wanted it. They offered us good options for the activities we were interested in (sheep farm, falconry experience), fitting them within our schedule.

The schedule worked very well for us, striking the right balance between checking all the places we wanted to see and activities we wanted to experience, and giving us just the right amount of relaxation time in between. We brought back wonderful memories from our trip!
