Australian Wine Tours

The travel specialist at Zicasso's tour company gave us a selection of different types of tours for Sydney, Melbourne, and Hobart. Each tour had different levels of activities for us to select from, allowing us to create an itinerary based on our interests.

We had a couple of minor hiccups that were handled with a phone call. We would highly recommend this travel company.

We absolutely loved so much of our trip! My kids’ (ages 11 and eight) favorite activities were luging in Rotorua, NZ, and the sunset camel ride in Uluru, AU, while my husband and I were enchanted by Hobbiton and enjoyed exploring a glowworm cave with the owner's father! We all loved Tasmania.

There were a few hiccups. However, we were very happy with all the support the Zicasso travel company's team provided in real time to help us get back on track. 

The overall trip was fantastic. My husband and I appreciated having the team support our adventures, both the highs and the lows. The team members were detailed-oriented. This trip exceeded our expectations and we’re incredibly grateful for their expertise in curating such memorable experiences.

Zicasso's tour planner did a superb job for us. She collaborated with us on working out our itinerary and had useful information on how to combine our desired destinations efficiently.

While we were in Australia, she was available via the company's app, including helping us on a late evening when our flight from Sydney to Hobart was canceled because of a cyclone and we needed a short-notice hotel in Sydney.

We could not have been more pleased with all of the arrangements. The attention to detail was perfect.

The original Zicasso travel specialist was wonderful and the one who took over from her was amazing. We selected her because of her knowledge of the best routing for air travel and suggestions as to cities that were safer than others.

While in Uluru, we discovered that one of our tours wasn't going to happen, so I called the travel specialist and, within 30 minutes, she had us booked on another tour, very similar to the one that got cancelled.

We especially appreciated the ground transportation. Each driver and their vehicle were great. 

All of the tours we experienced were also well planned out. We did cancel one at the last minute in Sydney due to the rainy weather. The travel consultant informed us that we might not get a refund because it was such short notice.

The hotel selections were excellent. We had to depart each one prior to the opening of the breakfast buffet (which was included). In each case, the hotel arranged a "to-go" breakfast box and had it delivered to our room before we left. Excellent service.

Thanks to the amazing, perfectly planned Australia and New Zealand vacation itinerary provided by Zicasso's travel agency, and specifically the travel agent and her wonderful colleagues, this was the perfect vacation. We were well taken care of and flights were planned within the countries, with someone always greeting us at the next stop to move us through to our next adventure.  

We were always busy and saw the most wonderful things... a sunset dinner cruise on Sydney harbor, the march of the penguins at Phillip Island (she arranged for us to have a front-row seat!), snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef, and touring the rainforest with an Aboriginal guide was very interesting! She arranged for many tours and activities, like a jet boat ride up the Dart River, a helicopter ride onto a glacier, and a TranzAlpine train ride in New Zealand. We also had a first-time-ever encounter with a pod of orca while on a boat tour in New Zealand. The whole trip was an unforgettable experience!

We wished we had taken the travel agent's advice and stayed longer. There was so much to see. We packed a lot into our four short weeks thanks to them. We highly recommend using them to plan your Australia and New Zealand itinerary.
