Zicasso's tour planner did a superb job for us. She collaborated with us on working out our itinerary and had useful information on how to combine our desired destinations efficiently.
While we were in Australia, she was available via the company's app, including helping us on a late evening when our flight from Sydney to Hobart was canceled because of a cyclone and we needed a short-notice hotel in Sydney.

I would highly recommend Zicasso's trip coordinator. He planned an excellent and very enjoyable trip for us (a family of five, including two teenage boys). He was very easy and accommodating to work with. The trip went smoothly and we have many great memories.

I highly recommend Zicasso's travel expert. She was an amazing resource, a pleasure to work with, and all of the logistics she planned proceeded without any issues. She listened to our interests, made recommendations, and then planned an 18-day vacation that had a terrific mix of visiting cities and seeing wildlife in the manner that was perfectly suited to our wish list. Simply put, she was one of the best I have worked with over the years.

Fiji exceeded all my expectations. We had an amazing itinerary, put together by Zicassso's travel expert. During the planning phase, she was easy to reach despite our 12-hour difference. I had one question during our trip and we easily reached her. She followed up to make sure we did not have any additional questions. A+

Zicasso's travel specialist worked with us every step of the way to create an amazing itinerary filled with adventure in New Zealand and luxurious relaxation in Fiji. She helped us adjust the itinerary until it was just right. Unfortunately, there were a couple of excursions that were impacted by the weather and other logistics, which impacted our experience, but it was not her fault and she was willing to try to find other options.
