Japan Cherry Blossom Travel Guide

Zicasso’s travel company did such a great job putting the trip together. I was charged for an extra night at our hotel in Paris, but they are refunding that and the Cairo portion of the trip we had to cancel.

Our Paris tour guide was great and I’d recommend her to anyone. Our Rome tour guides were very good. Hong Kong was fine. Our Tokyo guide was wonderful.

Really, the only hiccup on the trip was our hotel in Hong Kong. The company that picked us up dropped us at one hotel, not the correct one. Thankfully, a couple of their bellhops walked us and all our luggage several blocks to the correct hotel. Our tour guide the next day also went to the wrong hotel, but we only lost about 45 minutes before we figured out the issue. If you use that hotel again, please make sure folks know which hotel is which.

The "Fast and Furious" car experience was OK; however, my grandson was so tired he slept through most of it. The chopstick-making was fun, as was the glass-blowing experience.

We experienced outstanding service and organization. Zicasso’s travel agent and his staff went above and beyond to make for an excellent experience.

Zicasso's ground support team was fabulous. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The ryokan experience planned by the tour operator was stellar.

Zicasso's travel company planned a trip to our specifications and provided excellent guides and a good transportation schedule.

Having had Japan during the cherry blossom season on our bucket list for a very long time, it was important to use the services of an experienced and trustworthy travel agent. Zicasso’s travel specialist not only met, but exceeded our expectations. The icing on the cake included a private traditional tea ceremony, a visit to an out-of-the-way tea plantation, and a remarkable remote temple where we were the only people present. Personal English-speaking guides throughout, including the travel specialist while in Kyoto, made the trip stress-free and fun.

The entire journey of 13 days was packed with lifetime memories. Many thanks. We hope the Dream Catcher ensures you and your wife a lifetime of pleasant dreams.

Zicasso’s travel specialist really listened to our needs for this trip and planned just the right amount of guiding to help us acclimate to the area, while still being free to roam and explore on our own.

His hotel recommendations placed us in very walkable areas and close to train stations, which we appreciated. We loved that he took the time to personally guide us through Nara and Uji on another perfect day in Japan. We would definitely book with him for our next Japan adventure.
