France Honeymoon Packages

Zicasso's travel company planned a trip to the Provence region in France for me and my wife. We contacted them in March 2026 and wanted to travel in May 2026, which was sort of last-minute. Nevertheless, they did a splendid job selecting two boutique hotels, setting up tours, and arranging transfers and train tickets.

We loved the hotels, thought the tours were excellent, every driver was extremely friendly and helpful, and the train ride between Avignon and Aix went smoothly. The only thing we had to do was arrange air travel to and from Boston and Marseille. In retrospect, I wish we had them arrange the air travel, since the flights we scheduled were not great, but that's a tale for a different review.

Our trip to the South of France was absolutely amazing. We went to Nice, Provence, and Lyon. Zicasso’s travel specialists planned a fabulous itinerary and every detail was thought of. Each hotel was spectacular, the tours were great, and our travel specialist even made all of our restaurant reservations. I would work with them again in a heartbeat.

The trip was fantastic. The activities were spaced out well and each event was rewarding. The accommodations were centrally located, so we could enjoy the attractions each city offered. Overall, an amazing experience.

Excursions

The perfume experience in Èze, the wine tasting in Nice, and the romantic tour of Paris will go down as our favorites. However, the others were quite exceptional as well. Our guide in Nice was exceptional and provided a ton of wonderful extras.

Ranking at the bottom was the chocolate tour in Paris, but only because the others were so remarkable. The Louvre visit was canceled because of the heat in Paris, but the alternative museum filled in nicely.

Accommodations

The accommodations again were great and the staff at each location were very gracious. However, the hotel restaurant in Lyon was closed for dinner during our stay. Although we were able to find alternative arrangements, the reviews were such that we made plans to dine there because it was recommended.

Transportation

Private pickups and transfers within the country were seamless after the first day. The wait at the train station was a bit long, considering an earlier train was available. However, I believe I understand why the later train was selected to factor in potential flight delays from the US.

Staff

Being able to call or text when issues popped up was great. It allowed us to enjoy our experience and know we were being taken care of with thoughtfulness and care.

Our trip to Provence was fabulous. The three cities, Lyon, Avignon, and Aix-en-Provence, gave us a real sense of the region. The food, wine, and tours were all magnificent. The hotels were lovely and centrally located. 

The five days in Avignon gave us a sense of the city and history.  All the guides were excellent and well informed. Our entire trip was well organized and the travel app which outlined our trip was “perfect." We were especially thankful for the drivers who were always on time.

We highly recommend our Zicasso travel expert and our travel company. We have never been disappointed with Zicasso.

I worked with Zicasso's travel company to plan our honeymoon in France and I highly recommend them for anyone wanting a first-class experience! Everything from beginning to end was perfect and exceeded my expectations. The planning process with the trip planner was thorough and she put together a dream trip for us. She executed everything perfectly.

From the moment we arrived in Paris until we were dropped off, we were in their hands. Every hotel, restaurant, tour, and tour guide exceeded our expectations. The itinerary was a "surprise" for my wife, so each morning over breakfast I shared our itinerary with her from the trip app, which was very nice to have, by the way. She loved every minute of it!

Because this was our honeymoon, every hotel we went to had a welcome gift of champagne or chocolate waiting for us. Our tour guide in the Loire Valley also had a bottle of champagne for us and at several dinners we were treated with special desserts, all planned in advance by the travel company's team. What a nice touch.

We have already spoken with them about our next trip. I could not be more pleased with this company.

This is the email that I shared with the travel specialist. Sharing it with you as well.

“Actually, the trip was nothing as we expected, and we were very disappointed in the quality of service from your agency. The apartment in Aix was in a great location but was a disaster. From hallways that smelled like sewage to plumbing issues, to not having a bathroom upstairs for the upstairs guest, having separate toilets and shower rooms, and old and peeling furniture, and that none of this was shared with us at the time of booking, I cannot believe that you would put clients in a hotel apartment like that. Please note that the hotel in Nice was lovely.

In addition, the tours that we took for Nice were not very good. The guides were actually just drivers and did not really share much. The guides in Aix were very good and I would highly recommend them, as well as the cooking class at a local cooking school. In addition, sending us a printed list of restaurants with no recommendations was not helpful. We could’ve pulled the same list from the Internet or ChatGPT. Further, in Aix, the drivers from and to the airport were not able to drop us off at the apartment and we had to walk a few blocks with heavy luggage - a fact  that you did not share with us prior. 

All in all, we enjoyed our time because we were with good friends in a beautiful country but we are very disappointed in the quality of your agency and the communication. This is not the quality we have come to expect from Zicasso. We will be sure to let Zicasso know. 

Regards, Liza."
