France Tour Review: Paris, Notre-Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Palace of Versailles, Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, 13-Night Trip

Our trip to Paris and the South of France was amazing! We were extremely pleased with our itinerary, visiting the various museums and attractions throughout the trip.

It was unfortunate that France was experiencing a heatwave, but of course, one never knows what Mother Nature has in store for us. We walked the cobblestone streets, keeping well hydrated and managing as best we could. It was a challenge when the temps reached 100 degrees F for several days, but we survived!

The hotel accommodations were lovely and the staff were very accommodating. Zicasso is an exceptional, professional travel company and we were extremely satisfied with everything.

England Travel Review: London, Killarney, Dublin, Edinburgh, Cliffs of Dover, Ring of Kerry, Inverness, Castles, History, Local Cuisine, 12-Night Trip

Zicasso's travel company helped create a wonderful UK trip for my family. Their fine attention to detail, along with a spectacularly planned itinerary, was greatly appreciated. From our drivers to amazing tour guides - the one in White Cliffs of Dover, the one in Ireland, and the one in Scotland - this trip was spot-on perfect! 

The travel company's app was extremely helpful and user-friendly, and the lodging facilities chosen were perfect. In particular, the hotels located in the heart of each city made walking tours and exploring ideal. In addition, pre-planned excursions and activities added to an overall positive experience.

France Honeymoon Travel Review: Loire Valley, 10 Nights

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.

France Vacation Review: Louvre, D'Orsay, Moulin Rouge, Montmartre, Bayeux, Gardens, Performance Areas, Seine River, 12 Nights

The trip was wonderful and well-scheduled. I got to do almost everything I hoped for. The guides were excellent, especially the guide at the d'Orsay. I learned more than I did in my semester of art history. The hotels in Bayeux and the tours were exceptional, and right outside the historic districts, so easy walking access for tours, museums, cathedrals (if you go, do check out both these towns' cathedrals!), and bistros.
