What a great trip! Zicasso's tour operator helped me plan a trip full of unique experiences, within my budget and timeframe. She was available to assist before, during, and after the trip. There were a few changes that needed to be made during the trip. Everything was communicated with me in advance and mutually agreed upon alternative plans were made. I appreciated the personalized service that was provided. I felt well cared for by our tour operator and the rest of the team.

We decided to visit Norway and didn't allow much time for planning. Our Zicasso travel agent took the time to find out exactly what we wanted to include and created a wonderful itinerary for us. She answered all of our questions and included so much helpful information in the final itinerary, such as the weather forecast, maps showing locations of pick-up and drop-off spots, hotel information, suggested restaurants, and more, which made it a wonderful, stress-free vacation.
Even though we had many modes of transportation (plane, bus, ferry, boat, and train), our travel from place to place was almost entirely problem free. We only had one experience, having to walk to our hotel along the side of a busy road, in which we didn't feel safe and decided to arrange for a taxi. She even made sure we were reimbursed for our out-of-pocket cost.
There was 24/7 help available if needed, which we found to be very beneficial. We had a few questions along the way and always received immediate responses. We really enjoyed our visit to Norway and would highly recommend this travel company for customizing your next itinerary.
