Croatia, Slovenia Vacation Review: Plitvice Lakes, Ljubljana, Lake Bled, Boat Ride, 10 Days

The trip was amazing. Zicasso’s travel specialist had really good advice and was able to “read” us as travelers to help plan all of our adventures. The hotels were top-notch, and every person we encountered that she put in place took wonderful care of us.

She was in constant contact with us and even when the airline canceled and rescheduled my flights home (twice) due to a strike by crew members, the travel specialist stayed with me through my entire trip home, which was several different legs to get me to San Francisco. I highly recommend this travel company.
