France Vacation Ideas

Zicasso's travel agent created a well-orchestrated trip in response to our desire to explore western France, principally to stay in three areas (Vannes, Loire Valley, Bordeaux), with local guides as we requested. Importantly, with a train strike to occur when we arrived in Paris, she arranged for a car and driver to get us to our first destination. Car-rental arrangements worked well and transportation assistance when we returned to Paris was much appreciated.

She continued to stay in contact with us to ensure a great experience. She arranged some nice surprises along the way. We highly recommend her.

It was a fabulous trip. meticulously planned and executed by Zicasso's travel agency.

Our Zicasso travel specialist was wonderful from the beginning to the end. We returned from France after a two-week trip two nights ago. Our agent was very helpful in planning every aspect of the trip and taking care of all the details along the way. Any minor difficulty we had, he remedied immediately. He met us in person upon arrival in Paris and took us for a lovely walk in a beautiful garden. 

All of our hotels were lovely and well-chosen for location, service, and charm. The hotel staff were all delightful and extremely helpful. In one hotel in Normandy, which happened not to be close to any restaurant, the hotel concierge drove us to a lovely restaurant and had the restaurant staff call her to pick us up after our meal (complimentary). We've never experienced such service! 

The private driver and guides who took us around were all excellent! I specifically asked our agent to select guides who spoke English without very heavy accents, so I could easily understand what they were saying. He did just that! All of the guides and our private drivers were excellent.

I would definitely recommend this travel company for planning a trip to France.

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 was an amazing trip for us. It was the first time we'd taken our 11-year-old son overseas and Zicasso's travel specialist worked diligently to tailor the perfect trip for us. We usually plan our own travel, but she was highly responsive and it was a relief to have her take care of all the time-consuming planning and connect us with guides who were both super-knowledgeable and great at interacting with our son. She met us in person in Paris to ensure we were happy with our accommodations and provided a lovely personal touch to our experience. I don't say this often, but I don't think we'd change a thing about the whole trip. Merci beaucoup!

Our trip, planned by Zicasso’s travel partner, was nothing short of fantastic! Our agent made every detail right and our 24-day tour of Avignon, Nice, Corsica, Lyon, and Paris seemingly had a million little details. She was a wonderful listener and her recommendations of activities and locations fit our interests perfectly. Furthermore, it was clear her peers and colleagues in each of the places we visited had deep respect for her.

Finally, we were really pleased with her communication during the trip. There were several minor adjustments needed along the way and she handled those in a timely way, keeping us on course, but without disruption. We’d recommend this travel company without hesitation.
