One-Week Capturing the Essence of Egypt in Cairo, Luxor, & Aswan

Our trip to Tanzania could not have been made better! Zicasso's travel specialist organized a great itinerary that fit perfectly with our budget and lifestyle. It was so well organized with all the supporting companies; we had no missteps or worries. I would highly recommend this agency for an African tour and ask for our agent, as she is an expert in this part of the world and extremely well organized!

We had the most amazing safari trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe. Zicasso’s tour company did an amazing job, from the upfront planning all the way to support during the travels. We could not have had a better itinerary or agency working for us. It was a trip of a lifetime.

Phenomenal! The entire experience was unforgettable and my father and I felt very taken care of through the entire process. Zicasso’s travel agent was always very communicative and accommodating to our special requests. Her itinerary was fantastic, the accommodations and their staff were stellar, and our guide, who spoke excellent Spanish, was a delight and extremely knowledgeable. Our dream trip was perfect and I'm so grateful.

The trip was excellent. We really had a great time! The "ground staff" (drivers, airport greeters, etc.) were terrific. We had four guides.

Our hotel in Abu Simbel and our hotel in Cairo were great.

The cruise ship, the ship in Egypt, was wonderful. The food could have been better, but the entertainment, cleanliness, and staff were all first-rate.

The lady who led the food tour was wonderful. Her English was very good and she was very personable.

Our guide at Abu Simbel was terrific and knowledgeable, and able to find shade on a hot day.

Our guide in Cairo was very knowledgeable, although we struggled to understand everything he said. (Although his English was much better than our Arabic.) As we went to many of the great sites in Egypt, I wanted to buy souvenirs, but I wasn't able to get near the shops. I have heard that souvenir shop owners will, at times, try to rip off tourists, but I don't know if that was the only reason he wouldn't let us near one.

Our fourth guide in Luxor was also very good, personable, and intelligent. However, it was hot and we could have used a break in the shade. He was a lot younger and more fit than we were and didn't seem to notice we were struggling.

Thank you for putting this trip of a lifetime together for us. Ron is taking his grandson to Rome and is using Zicasso.

I could not have imagined a better trip than the one we had with Zicasso’s travel designer's help! She was very responsive to what we wanted to get out of the adventure and had a lot of great ideas. Besides being incredibly attentive, she made me feel very comfortable with all our decisions for a place that I had never been to and did not know much about. Thank you for making our trip so organized and fun!

This was our first adventure into Africa. Zicasso's travel agent and the team put together the perfect itinerary. It provided an excellent overview of various African cultures and, of course, exposure to all the wildlife and scenery that Africa offers. This included gorilla trekking in Rwanda and 10 days on safari at three different bush camps. Prior to heading home, we relaxed in the island paradise of Seychelles.

Our travel agent handled all the details, including reservations, transportation, and communications. In addition to a printed itinerary, she provided a phone application that allowed us to access our itinerary at any time. The application included emergency contacts, airline e-tickets, and detailed information pertaining to each location we stayed.

In addition, our travel agent set us up with our local hosts to meet us at each destination, handle baggage, and provide necessary transportation. This made our adventures relaxing and completely stress-free. We can't say enough about her expertise and services. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the African continent is beyond compare. We highly recommend her when planning your African adventure.
