Find hidden hot springs with a view of pastel colored hills as you feel icy mist that rises from the base of huge waterfalls. Discover the tuft-roofed homes as they shine green with summer grass. You will soon uncover Iceland’s real diversity that lies beyond the glaciers...

Iceland Vacation Review: Ring Road, 8 Nights

We can’t thank Zicasso's travel specialist enough for the incredible itinerary he created for our trip to Iceland. He truly went above and beyond—carefully considering our budget, interests, and travel preferences to craft a thoughtful, well-paced, and exciting plan.

Every detail was spot on. From the stunning sightseeing stops to the unforgettable excursions, the entire trip was seamless and stress-free. We felt like we experienced the very best of Iceland without ever feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

Our specialist's attention to detail and personalized approach made all the difference. We’re beyond satisfied with his service and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to plan an unforgettable adventure. Thanks to him, we made memories that will last a lifetime!

Iceland Vacation Review: Glacier Hike, Zodiac Tour, 6 Nights...

We have been on many vacations before, but nothing comes close to the amazing itinerary provided to us by Zicasso's travel company. The experience was truly world-class and we did things we didn't believe we could do. I would give this vacation 10 stars if it were possible.

Having said that, I would recommend a couple of small items: For guided tours, make clearer which ones are not guided and provide a rough timeline within the day so we know what to expect. Neither of these is a deal-breaker, but would take our trip from 10 out of 5 stars to 12 out of 5 stars.

They also provided amazing communication. I absolutely will refer them to others.

Iceland Vacation Review: Snorkeling, Hiking, Glacier, Volcano,...

Our trip was absolutely amazing. Zicasso's tour operator did a great job planning out the details and creating an itinerary that allowed us to see everything we wanted to in an efficient manner. We had a lot we wanted to squeeze into 10 days and we were able to do it all.

The hotels/bed and breakfasts we stayed at were perfect. Even when we ran into an issue with one of the planned hotels, our agent found multiple replacement options and took care of everything, making something that would have been frustrating a seamless experience. We cannot recommend Zicasso and our travel company enough.
