Norway Travel Guide

Zicasso's travel consultant at the tour company was amazing! She was so helpful in the planning stages. She met with us on Zoom several times until we got it right. Our trip was just what we had hoped for and more! During our trip, she was available anytime we had a question, which wasn't often because of the great planning. I would highly recommend the tour company.

This is the second time we have used Zicasso and both times they have connected us to the best travel experts. Highly recommended!

We loved the troll tour of the Ring Road. Our guide was great. It was very active, with some hilly climbs, which were challenging. Most of the tour hotels were good, but there were limited food choices in some locations, especially for vegetarians.

Our hotel in Reykjavík was fun and we enjoyed the restaurant there. The hotel was a bit noisy at night. We found and recommend a local café across from the Hallgrímskirkja as well.

In Norway, we loved our rooms in Bergen, looking out on the water. Our driver there was very nice. We enjoyed the train to Flåm, but wished we’d had two nights in our hotel in Balestrand, as it was exceptional. Food was included and very nice. We might have enjoyed a day tour with a local guide if we’d had more time. The ferries worked well.

Thank you!

My wife and I just returned from a two-week trip in France that was mostly organized by the travel company. Zicasso's travel designer organized all of the transportation, accommodations, and activities for a combined week-long stay in Normandy and in Paris. In addition, she coordinated transportation and tours for us and a group of friends who joined us for a cooking school in the Loire Valley after our first week in France. The travel company did not plan the cooking school event.

The planning process started with a telephone conversation with our travel designer. I described our travel style, what we wanted to see and do, and a rough budget, and she came back with a preliminary itinerary. We had a second conversation and adjusted that itinerary to match with our travel and budget needs. I thought she was very helpful and responsive to this part of the process.

Overall, we were very pleased with the service and the product we got from the travel company. Everything was very well coordinated and well organized.

The only glitch we had was upon arrival in France. Our driver was not there to meet us at the airport. I texted her and she quickly contacted the driver and solved the issue (he couldn't find parking). In addition, we happened to be there when there was a potential work stoppage by air-traffic controllers and other government employees. Our travel designer proactively reached out to me to inform us of the situation. I really appreciated that.

Our accommodations were all excellent and very well located. The small group tours and private guides we had were also very well qualified and professional. In addition, the travel company had an app which contained the itinerary, travel documents, and other useful information. That was pretty slick!

I've mentioned our travel designer in this review, but she also works with a team of other people. Everyone we worked with was great and we wouldn't hesitate to use the travel company again should the need arise.

My adult daughter and I just returned from our wonderful nine-day trip to Ireland and Scotland. We are very, very happy with the travel services Zicasso's travel company and their team provided for us. Their assistance in the design, planning, arrangement-making, and execution of our trip was first-rate in all ways, enhanced by friendly, professional, and timely communication all along the way. The company earned our praise and trust.

Kudos to Zicasso for having high-quality travel-service companies like them in your network. We will highly recommend both companies to others and will keep both in our first considerations if we are fortunate enough to consider and plan for future overseas trips.

I received a well-planned itinerary from Zicasso's tour operator. I would use them if another trip comes up. The tour operator and the agent were very responsive to my questions; the app they sent me covered nearly all aspects of the trip and itinerary, and was very helpful in keeping me on track. Their service was of the highest level.
