I was absolutely pleased with my experience with Zicasso and the travel company as they planned our 25th anniversary trip to New Zealand in early 2026. Our trip consultant kept our dream trip within our budget and all accommodations were clean, comfortable, safe, and had every amenity we needed and wanted. All planned excursions went perfectly and we experienced all we hoped for and much more. I will absolutely use these services again.

Australia Honeymoon Review: Local Cuisine, 12 Days

Zicasso’s travel specialist was great. We spent multiple months planning our honeymoon to Australia and had numerous calls/trip agenda revisions, which allowed us to have a perfect trip and honeymoon.

Our itinerary was perfectly built for our wants and allowed for a very smooth trip and travel.

The trip's total price was much higher than expected, but we have no regrets about the trip at all.

We would definitely use them again.
