England Travel Review: History, 1 Week

Zicasso's travel operator was professional, personable, thorough, and expertly crafted the itinerary to our specific desires. They went beyond our expectations in putting together a seamless vacation for my wife and myself. We’d highly recommend them to anyone contemplating the United Kingdom and we’d love to return, using them and only them as our professional service.

We had a great trip to Ireland! I appreciated how Zicasso's travel company helped plan the trip, listening to where I thought we wanted to go and making suggestions to create the trip plan. All of the guides and drivers did well and we enjoyed getting to know them.

Even though the weather did not cooperate for several days, we enjoyed seeing other sights. We also enjoyed all of the hotels we stayed at. Overall, the travel company did an excellent job and we would use them again!

South Africa, Zimbabwe Trip Review: 2 Weeks

Zicasso's trip planner and his team were amazing! He worked with us to plan the perfect trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe. From the moment we landed in Johannesburg until our flight home from Cape Town, everything was seamless and flawless. We can't thank him and his team enough. If you are looking to visit South Africa and beyond, I highly recommend our agent and his team!!! He and his team will be the first to be contacted if we venture to the African continent again. Thank you again! We can't thank you enough!

Indonesia Travel Review: 7 Nights

It was a Herculean task to plan a trip for my parents, who are almost 80 years old. Zicasso's tour planner knew what was needed from the get-go. There was an army of folks whose every need had to be taken care of. Even though we had taken wheelchair access with the airline, our agent arranged for helpers, who were waiting at the aircraft door!!

The entire team of tour guides and wheelchair helpers and drivers were all such amazing people. They all went above and beyond trying to help my parents. Our agent was also present in every city to make sure things were going well.

I would highly recommend his agency to folks wanting to travel to Bali.
