Luxury Galapagos Cruises

We absolutely loved our trip to Quito, Mindo, and the Galápagos Islands with Zicasso's travel agency! The travel agent and her team put together the perfect itinerary for us, with lots of fun surprises along the way. This was one of the best trips of our lives, all thanks to this travel agency. They covered every detail and remained in communication throughout, so we felt comfortable navigating a new country. I can't recommend them enough!

All aspects of our trip were extraordinary. From the first conversation with Zicasso’s trip planner, I knew she was the right person to plan our Ecuador experiences. She understood that we wanted to avoid crowded tourist attractions, preferring to interact with locals and the flora and fauna that surround them. 

Our guide made these things possible, taking us to eat at some of his favorite cafés as we traveled from Quito to the hotel near Nanegalito, and later from this one to the one in Imbabura. He was more than a guide, catering to all of our needs and sharing his personal contact information with us should we have any problems along our journey. He was an excellent guide. Although he was raised in the cloud forest region, he was knowledgeable and loves the entire country and its history. He could answer any question about the indigenous population, religious practices, food, or sports. As an academician, I recognized his teaching potential. He could be a professor one day.

Zicasso's tour operator was incredibly helpful, from itinerary ideation to managing the day-to-day during the trip. The agent was incredibly responsive, solutions-oriented, and service-focused. We felt like we had a true partner during the trip. And the tour operator was so warm and friendly!

The Zicasso tour agents were amazing. The trip went smoothly and was stress free thanks to these amazing people. The team answered all my emails, one of the agents was available and handled issues that occurred on my trip, and we had an amazing tour guide who was flexible with the schedule.

The trip itself was amazing. The cruise was outstanding. The boat, crew, and excursions were more than I could have imagined.

The plan by Zicasso's trip planner and the help he provided during our trip were invaluable. Unfortunately, my sister and I overestimated our abilities and underestimated our physical stamina. As he suggested, five days in the Galápagos would have been plenty. The Amazon trip was quite arduous for us, but the guide was fantastic. The Machu Picchu guide was fantastic. All our guides enjoy their work. More attention could have been paid to the altitude. My sister was sick most of the trip. We should have paid more attention to that before the trip.

Zicasso's travel agent was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive and reacted quickly and professionally to changes that needed to be made before and during the trip. He set us up with fantastic facilities in the Galápagos and in the rainforest. Every step of the way, we were met at the airport with boarding passes and someone to tell us where and when to go to the next destination.
