Iceland Travel Agents & Reviews

I will discuss the experience in phases. The experience itself was overall a five, but only due to the service provided once there.

Booking and presale: Communication was great. I worked with Kjartan directly and he provided lots of information. Pricing came quickly and there were reminders to book due to things selling out.

Once booked, communication slowed to a crawl. We did not get a complete itinerary until a day before we left. Part of this delay was because we were waiting on a cancellation to book our final hotel, but it was stressful. I was told, "Don't worry, I have it taken care of", which held zero weight when I hadn't met the person in person. I asked direct questions that were not answered directly for days to a week. I feared making the final payment, feeling like we may have been scammed with our down payment. The only thing that made me feel secure was that it was through Zicasso and they would back their agents/tours. I was given the WhatsApp of our tour guide and information about what happens at pick-up only after I asked for it. Ahhhh!

Arrival: In a complete turn of events, the rest of the trip was bliss. Our guide and Kjartan showed us all the majestic beauty of Iceland. They accommodated every request and suggested things when we were noncommittal. Our guide became a part of our family on the trip. We sang songs, went out to dinner, and took endless photos and videos together. She could not have been more kind, welcoming, and gracious. Our three-year-old son fell madly in love with her and she and him created a special bond. Our tour could not have been better, with times being booked and times of rest. We always felt like our guide would take care of us. I could not be more thankful for her.

Overall: I would highly recommend this travel company to friends/family, but push for what you need prior to the visit.

We received excellent support during the planning of the trip, with many good options that were responsive to our interests. There was good organization during the trip, with a great guide who had obviously extensive local knowledge of the areas visited and Iceland in general.

We have received the most thorough, helpful planning job in eight trips with Zicasso. Our travel expert was marvelous.

We had a agreat trip to Iceland. Zicasso's tour operator arranged everything perfectly. Our guide for nine days was exceptional!

We had a very good pre-trip dynamic with Zicasso's tour agency: positive, constructive, genuine, and open. Very responsive. Very good teamwork. Very efficient.

After the experience, you could tell they truly listened to how we like to travel in terms of everything: pacing, hotels, guides, activities, and quality of local providers.

They know the area and also hold a good/solid network of providers in the area.

There was an "open line of communication with them the whole time through a simple solution (WhatsApp chat).

Their recommendations and reservations were totally on target (food). The guides were very professional. We wanted to take advantage of every day and they made us go to bed really tired (which is a good thing).

The itinerary and accommodations were exactly what we needed to experience Iceland in a way that was flexible and personalized for us. Everything went so smoothly and we are really grateful for the thoughtful planning that Zicasso's travel specialist did for us.
