Spain, Portugal, France Vacation Review: Lisbon, San Sebastian,...

My husband and I just returned from a three-week trip in France, Spain, and Portugal planned by Zicasso's travel agent. It was an amazing trip, with every detail thoughtfully planned.

Our agent recommended a couple of tours and activities that had not been part of my plan for the trip, but I went with her recommendations and was so glad I did. They ended up being some of the highlights of our trip. Her restaurant recommendations were spot-on. The car service provided in each country made our travel so effortless and, therefore, much more enjoyable.

Her local team member was amazing. Whenever I reached out via WhatsApp, she replied in minutes (it always seemed instantaneous) and helped resolve or address my question/ask. I would definitely use her and her team again.

Argentina Trip Review: Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Iguazu Falls,...

The trip was absolutely delightful. The itinerary was well-paced, allowing time for touring, sightseeing, and leisurely free time. Zicasso's travel agent did an exceptional job at each phase of the planning, organizing, and implementation. Individual tour guides were accommodating, thoughtful, gracious, and attentive. The travel agent made himself available throughout the trip, adapting when needed. All drivers were courteous, efficient, and always on time. While none of the drivers spoke English, they made every effort to communicate as best as possible.

France Travel Review: Private Tours, Cooking Class, Wine...

We believe travel, by its very nature, involves exceptionally enriching experiences and some tough challenges. Our eight-week odyssey around France contained both.

When we decided to visit France, we hired Zicasso’s tour company to plan the trip. The company’s travel agent listened closely to our travel objectives. She understood what we sought and created the trip of a lifetime. She provided priceless opportunities to explore France and guided us through the inevitable challenges of travel with great skill. Activities included tours led by extremely well-informed private guides, a cooking class with a talented chef, and wine tastings. The guides expanded our knowledge and thus our enjoyment of the sights, culture, history, and wines of France.

Just as important as providing a roadmap for our adventure was our agent’s ever-present support throughout that adventure. When we encountered logistical obstacles, she helped us navigate through them. She made herself available at all times of the day and night, and bailed us out of challenging situations. In sum, we would highly recommend this tour company for your odyssey through France.

Argentina, Uruguay Vacation Review: Mendoza, Patagonia,...

This trip was two years in the making. There were a lot of moving parts. Twelve days, four hotels, and five in-country flights all over Argentina. It was flawlessly executed by Zicasso's travel agency.

France, Spain Tour Review: Normandy, Paris, Bordeaux, Basque...

I cannot make enough positive statements about our experience with Zicasso's tour company. The travel specialist and the other team members were phenomenal. We went from Normandy to Paris to Bordeaux to the Basque Country. The planning process for the trip was hassle-free. They asked all the right questions to ensure our trip had the experiences we wanted: food tours, wine tastings, museums, soccer games, D-Day, Mont Saint-Michel, and more. 

The balance of planned excursions and free time was perfect. Every guide was professional, knowledgeable, and personable, but more than that, it was clear each guide loved what they did and had a passion for what they were showing us. Every hotel we stayed in was spot-on with the amenities we discussed in our planning.

The agency was accommodating and easy to get in touch with when needed. Our trip was truly a vacation; all the details were taken care of and all tickets were electronically available. I highly recommend using this travel company!

Italy Tour Review: Venice, Florence, Rome, Sorrento, History,...

Zicasso's travel agent worked really quickly during the itinerary creation process to get us the perfect trip, customizing it to all of our requests! We absolutely loved our 12-day trip through Venice, Florence, Rome, and Sorrento. Our in-country concierge was extremely communicative and helpful, clarifying and coordinating each day so everything was smooth and stress-free!
