Our Colombia Travel Specialists

Our trip to Colombia was our third travel experience arranged via Zicasso. As was the case with our previous two trips, this one was managed nearly flawlessly from start to finish with the kind of attentive customer care we have become accustomed to with Zicasso and their partners.
The agent from our travel company went above and beyond in assisting us with all our planning, providing insights and recommendations only someone who has experienced Colombia fully can provide. She was very patient in helping us make adjustments to arrive at the perfect itinerary and then remaining in constant contact to ensure every minor detail was handled perfectly throughout our journey.
Our drivers and tour guides made sure we were greeted and escorted through each destination, from Medellín to Bogotá to Cartagena and our final destination on Isla Barú. While many friends expressed concern over our safety in Colombia, I can say we did not feel unsafe for a moment. The Colombia of today is no longer one riddled with crime and drugs, but rich in culture and charm.
We greatly enjoyed the thriving art scene of Comuna 13 and the nightlife of Medellín. Our hotel made us feel like we were in the middle of the rainforest, while just steps away from the bustle and excitement of the Poblado district. Our visit to a wonderful coffee plantation provided a full education on every step of the coffee-making process, from the berries on the tree all the way to a delicious cup, delivering a new appreciation for black coffee. I may only drink Colombian from now on.
Bogotá proved to be a modern city with an incredible food scene. Our agent arranged an amazing gastronomical tour for us one evening that catered to our dietary needs. We attended an amazing wedding on top of an old portside fort in Cartagena and enjoyed the charm of the old walled city before relaxing on a pristine beach off the coast, then heading home to tell everyone to hurry down to see all Colombia has to offer.
I can only say, Zicasso is the only way to plan your travel, whether alone or with a small group. For those considering Colombia, our in-country travel company carries my strongest endorsement.

My wife and I just got back from our first trip to Colombia and had a great experience. The team made it extra-special. Zicasso’s travel specialist came up with a great itinerary and it was a true cultural experience.
All the guides were friendly, spoke good English, and were always on time. We learned about filigree, silleteras, saw how they make hats and other items out of palm leaves, tried many great Colombian dishes, and learned about the culture in Colombia.
We had a really special time getting to visit a musical school for kids from very poor neighborhoods and seeing the big positive impact it has made on their lives.
The travel specialist and the team delivered on all promises, and we highly recommend their services to anyone considering a trip to Colombia.
For anyone who has concerns about safety and the reputation Colombia has had regarding the drug trade, I want to say that we felt safe 100% of the time. Everyone was very friendly toward tourists and if you are looking for a cultural experience, this is worth the trip.

Zicasso’s travel company and team delivered as promised for a wonderful 10-day trip to Colombia, with in-country service and attention to detail that surpassed expectations. The guides and activities were all excellent, with particular thanks to our guide who managed the longest leg of our trip in Medellín.

Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team did an excellent job arranging our 10-day trip to Costa Rica. The four properties we stayed at ranged from very good to excellent. Transport arrangements were excellent, and the drivers were pleasant and professional. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed seeing the diversity of flora and fauna that the country has to offer.

Our Zicasso travel agent was so personalized in his approach to making this a trip to remember. He communicated regularly and responsively, and the itinerary he created for us in Barcelona and Sevilla was exactly what we were looking for. We had the perfect blend of time with customized guides and time on our own to explore the cities.  
The guides were amazing; they knew everything we could ever want to know about these two cities. We felt very special during the entire process and I could not recommend our travel team more for the very knowledgeable and articulate itinerary they created for us to see Spain. This was the best trip we have ever taken and I was there for my 50th birthday.
