Our Europe Travel Specialists

Zicasso's travel agency made this a very special trip! Scotland is so beautiful and all the planning they did helped us to enjoy it. They also provided great information along the way, which made it very easy when we were out on our own. Thank you for all your help!

Our trip was seamless from start to finish. We were thoroughly impressed by the expertise and attentiveness of our local guides—their knowledge, perfectly timed tours, and the thoughtfully planned itinerary by the Zicasso trip planner made for an exceptional experience.

Our trip to Paris and the South of France was amazing! We were extremely pleased with our itinerary, visiting the various museums and attractions throughout the trip.
It was unfortunate that France was experiencing a heatwave, but of course, one never knows what Mother Nature has in store for us. We walked the cobblestone streets, keeping well hydrated and managing as best we could. It was a challenge when the temps reached 100 degrees F for several days, but we survived!
The hotel accommodations were lovely and the staff were very accommodating. Zicasso is an exceptional, professional travel company and we were extremely satisfied with everything.

The entire nine days of travel from Slovenia to Montenegro were seamless as far as being picked up at the arrival airport and departure as planned. Transportaion was on schedule, which was important to me in a foreign country and eliminated any stress. Each private guide and/or driver throughout our trip was courteous and spoke English, which avoided any misunderstanding about all the wonderful sites we saw.
Lake Bled was absolutely wonderful. The guide parked the van at this family home four blocks from the lake and introduced us to his mother and sister, who welcomed us, and we saw how they lived in this beautiful village. The walk of four blocks to the lake also gave us the opportunity to see more of this quaint place to live. Since the lake does not allow power boats, we and about 20 other people were rowed to the island, where an ancient church was located. We found out that this family, in the past, were the caretakers of the island and our tour guide had to row himself to the shore to go to school and, in the winter, skate to school every day.
Next, we were driven to the castle on top of a small mountain, which had a perfect, 360-degree view of the area. Beautiful!
The next day we went to Plitvice Lakes National Park, with too many waterfalls to count and water that looked as crystal clear as any natural water I have ever seen. The four-kilometer walk upstream was nothing like I've ever seen in the USA.
We spent the night in a wonderful mountain lodge, with individual lodges and an upper-end-style bed and breakfast theme.
Split was a city with parts dating back to the third century, with many Roman influences in its many buildings.
Mostar in Bosnia was very interesting and had a central arch-style bridge which seemed to be a central point for all to see. There was so much we saw that it is too much to describe here.
We also stopped at a wine tasting at the most modern winery I've ever been to. It even had 12 guest rooms, with a pool.
On our way to Dubrovnik, we stopped at Ston to have an unbelievable lunch. At the restaurant, we had an oyster tasting of fresh oysters being farmed several hundred yards from the restaurant. We were served oysters three ways, from raw to fried and baked, and they were the best I will ever eat in my life.
We next went to Dubrovnik, which was particularly interesting to me because it is where Game of Thrones was filmed. Our guide was excellent, as he worked as a "roadie" for the film company, helping set the scenes by taking down modern signs or anything modern, and putting them back after filming. He had large screen shots in a spiral binder and would take us to a cove and hold up the screen shot of the actual scene from the movie to show us the similarity. His behind-the-scenes knowledge of the actors and the reaction from the town and church was beyond expectations. My wife and I were fans of GOT and so excited that we are going to watch if all again one day.
Our last day was in Montenegro, which again was beautiful, and we spent the day next to the water there. We were ferried to a man-made island with an old church on it.
Overall, the Adriatic Sea along the coast of these countries was one of the most beautiful stretches of water you could imagine.
Our expectations of this tour were met and exceeded.

It was an amazing trip! Zicasso's tour company made it super-easy to navigate and allowed us to move about without the stress and long lines. We could never have done so much in the time we had without the extreme attention to detail. We are very thankful we used them.

We travelled to Finland on Thanksgiving week with the goal of seeing the aurora borealis – a bucket-list experience. Thanks to our Zicasso travel specialist, we not only saw the aurora borealis, but we also had a wonderful time awaiting its showing with a campfire meal in a kota, as well as stories and lessons on the science of the "lights show" from our very knowledgeable guide.
Throughout our seven-day trip, we had daily activities that fulfilled a truly Finland experience – from avanto (sauna and dip in frozen lake) to mushing to feeding reindeer and more! The best part was when our agent prepared a traditional Finnish dinner for us inside a kota that was right in the backyard of our rental.
It was an overall wonderful experience. Our agent was awesome! She was easy to communicate with and responded promptly to questions and requests in the planning stages, as well as during the trip itself. Her personal touch was just over and beyond! She and her company deserve five stars!
This was my second time using Zicasso and, once again, you guys did not disappoint!

Zicasso's travel company did a great job planning our trip to the Amalfi Coast and Switzerland. Our agent was very attentive to our requests and suggested other activities we might enjoy. The arrangements went seamlessly, including transportation, private guides, and scheduled tours. We would recommend our agent any time.

Working with the Zicasso travel agency was truly helpful and worth the money! I was feeling really overwhelmed trying to plan our honeymoon. They created an itinerary perfect for us. We were so happy with the whole trip. They kept us up to date about changes to our schedule due to weather issues. We highly recommend their services.
