5 Reasons to Work with a Zicasso Travel Specialist

Our idea of travel has evolved from a belief that luxury means five-star hotels and multi-course dinners. Luxury now implies a desire for exclusive experiences that take us away from the crowds; that immerse us in the indelible charm of a private kitchen in Fes or a unique terrace view from a secluded safari camp in the Okavango Delta. Exceptional travel now requires local insight and expertise, an eye for immersive experiences and connections to make them happen.

Zicasso matches you with travel specialists in the countries you choose to visit. A travel specialist is a vacation planner and partner who knows their destinations inside and out, inviting you to explore the world beyond the guidebooks. Whether you wish to uncover a new place in Greece on a Greek Island itinerary or discover a familiar one in a new way, our travel specialists use their insider knowledge to reveal the world from new perspectives.

Manlio, a Spain travel specialist who can customize a highlights of Spain tour based on your preferences, says, “Travel has become more and more about experiences, memories, and the opportunity to adopt a culture or lifestyle that is different from the one back home. In this regard, relying on insider access to make sure one can avoid tourist traps and have someone who can enable them to truly experience the local culture have made travel specialists sought-after.”

A Zicasso travel specialist helps design trips around your unique preferences, goals, expectations, and group. You can customize our sample itineraries or build your vacation from scratch with the insight and assistance of our top travel specialists.

Sample ideas like our scenic North and South Island New Zealand itinerary are a springboard to ignite your imagination and help you discover specific experiences or places to visit. These ideas represent a foundation your travel specialist can redesign to fit perfectly with your travel dreams. From adjusting the length of your trip to adding different places, specific adventure activities, or recommending the best cultural experiences, your travel specialist can handle every aspect of your trip’s design.

Zicasso travel specialists remove the stress of planning the perfect vacation, allowing you to focus on your journey and the experiences that await. Facilitating the travel planning for your trip from the moment you submit a Trip Request to the day you depart, the duration of your vacation, and once you return, your travel specialist goes above and beyond to make your experience stress-free.

Removing the stress from travel planning, travel specialists also encourage travelers to spend their relaxing adventures exploring the world’s most unique places. When working with a travel specialist, you have a partner who will ensure an inspiring and engaging journey off the world’s beaten path.

For example, New Zealand travel specialist Kate has organized authentic travel programs that support the conservation of cultural heritage and natural resources, in addition to highlighting the endless wonders in the crystal-clear waters of Abel Tasman National Park or the sound of crampons digging into the icy surface of Franz Josef Glacier. Freedom from stress allows you to have these kinds of unforgettable journeys.
