Reviews of Zicasso's South America Tours & Vacations
Based on 2134 verified traveler reviews.
Zicasso's travel agent was a delight to work with. He was responsive in helping us plan an interesting itinerary.
We enjoyed our trip to Brazil.

It was a fantastic trip! Zicasso's travel specialist provided guidance on visiting not just Rio de Janeiro, but Paraty, a fishing village four hours away, and it turned out to be the highlight of the trip.
She scheduled a private boat tour of the bay and it was absolutely stunning; swimming on empty beaches and having a great lunch right over the water.
Additionally she booked a beautiful and relaxing hotel that had some of the best food of the trip. I would not have planned this without her help.
I recommend our travel company unreservedly; totally worth it!

I wish I could give more than five stars. My husband and I took our two children, ages 16 and 11, on this amazing trip. Zicasso's travel experts made great suggestions to help make the trip one for everybody to remember. They and their vendors were amazingly supportive, beyond what we expected during the trip in-country as well.

Zicasso's travel expert made my travel seamless and stress-free. The guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I learned a great deal about the Incan culture. The driver was always on time and I felt safe traveling by car throughout the region.

Zicasso's trip planner is excellent! She planned a personalized itinerary for me and my family, with activities for all different ages in our travel group. We truly enjoyed our experience in Quito and the Galápagos Islands.
Our tour guide did a wonderful job taking us around Quito and ensuring we got to fully experience the city (including historical landmarks and local spots). In addition, one of our family members had altitude sickness and he put a lot of effort into helping her get assistance and even medical care in the airport.
Five stars for our agent and our guide.
