    After cancelling several trips during the pandemic, my wife and I decided to take a chance and travel internationally for our 40th anniversary. I’m a pulmonary and critical care physician, and Omicron hadn’t really hit yet, and we realized we had a window of opportunity before the next surge. Unfortunately, that window left us only a month to plan a trip that we would normally start planning on our own, at least 6 months ahead of time. We had used Zicasso several years ago to help with a trip to New Zealand, and the travel agency they found for us was outstanding, and the trip was incredible. This time we decided to travel to Iceland, one of our “bucket list” destinations. With little knowledge of Iceland and its various sites, and attractions, and only a month or so to plan, we knew we could not do this on our own. We contacted Zicasso, with the dates we wanted to travel and some thoughts about what our preferences were. We were connected to two great travel agencies who specialized in Iceland within 24 hours. Each agency pitched us ideas and sample itineraries. Within a few days we chose (with some difficulty) one of the agencies and within a few more days met by zoom so the agent could tailor make an itinerary for us. The agent booked great lodgings for us, the rental car and provided us with an amazing itinerary day by day, with links to Google maps for directions to each sight on the itinerary. He also booked special excursions that we expressed an interest in. All came in within our budget. We even used Zicasso to help book the air travel, which we normally would do ourselves, but since I’m still working, was too busy to investigate the options. Everything was set within about 10 days. We ultimately had an amazing 13 day vacation, traveling the Ring road of Iceland. Once again Zicasso came through for us. I highly recommend Zicasso, to anyone wanting to plan a trip with outstanding travel agents- ones who specialize in the areas you want to travel to.

    If I could give 10 Stars I would. Where to start.. Rome - Florence - Amalfi Coast & Paris Our trip was delayed due to Covid from 2020. Zicasso Travel worked with us so that we could finally go on our dream vacation this year in 2022. From start to finish the trip was outstanding! We had private drivers picking us up and taking us to the airports and train stations and top notch accommodations in great locations. Private drivers taking us to the sites and scheduled excursions. Often the same driver and tour guides so that we got to know them well. We had private guided tours of each city, museums, a Castle in Tuscany and several private wine tasting lunches. I would highly recommend Zicasso Travel for anyone who wants to take a high-end, hassle free holiday with every detail planned out. We had no worries about where and when to be somewhere and all planned out for us. We had Down time also to do as we pleased. I would use them again, hands down! Thank you for such a memorable time of our lives! Jen & Ed Burgh - Monrovia CA

    Great resource for any travel. They sent me two referrals and I had the choice to choose who was our best fit. It was a little confusing in the beginning so make sure you are very specific on what you expect and want within your budget. Italy stole our hearts. Visit Isa and Cielo YouTube for more highlights.

    I am thrilled to have found Zicasso. The trip our agent arranged for us exceeded all our expectations. Nothing was left to chance and the whole trip ran like clockwork. We couldn't have planned a better itinerary even if we spent months researching. This is the perfect site for the savvy traveler who wants to experience a once (or twice, or more!) experience of a lifetime.

    While planning an African Safari for my family of 4, I was overwhelmed with the options for this type of adventure on a continent which I have never been, and knew little about. During my research, I came across the Zicasso website, read the endorsements from highly recognized sources, and decided to give it a try. So I filled out an online form and provided my interests, goals and desires for the safari. Zicasso got back to me immediately and asked a few follow up questions to better understand my needs. The very next day, I was contacted by an agent specializing in Safari's that was referred by Zicasso. The agent was knowledgeable, quickly responded to all my questions, provided me with insight that I would not have considered on my own, and i booked my Safari a short time later. We just returned from the Safari and it was amazing! I was looking at a specific location in Kruger National Park in South Africa. The agent explained the differences between private game reserves and public game reserves, and also recommended that we split our visit into two different luxury camps. About three months before our trip, I received an email from my agent advising that the one lodge we booked (Lion Sands) had a fire at 0400 that morning and would likely be closed. She took the liberty of booking another lodge close by because rooms would be scarce this close to our travel date. Turns out, other guests could not get reservations anywhere and had to cancel their trip with full refunds. Had I booked this trip on my own, I would not have been among the first to find out about the fire and probably would be among the stranded. A little info about our trip: The goal of most on a first Safari is to see the Big Five, which is the five deadliest land animals in Africa (Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, and Rhino). At the Kapama Private Game reserve, we saw all big five within the first 4 hours of our game drives - amazing. While our guide and tracker were tracking a leopard, we came across two buffalo that were nervous because the leopard was close by. One buffalo mock charged our safari vehicle which was exciting and intimidating. Shortly after that, we turned a bend in the road and came across a hyena that was hanging around a leopard that had an impala kill up in the tree! On the evening drive, we found a lioness that had a recent Kudu kill. We were literally 5 feet from the face of the lioness as she ate. It was pitch black at night so the tracker shined a spotlight on her and she was not phased by our presence. We had many more amazing animal encounters at Kapama. After three nights, we took a two hour land transfer to Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge in Sabi Sands. As we were greeted at reception at this amazing lodge, we can see a herd of elephant arrive at the waterhole visible from the lobby. The host walked us to the observation deck so we can get a better view of this quintessential image of Africa. On our game drive we had a rare encounter with a cheetah which we watched for 30 minutes from about 10 feet away from the rock he was perched on. Then our guide and tracker got out of our open 9 passenger land cruiser to track a pride of lion. They spotted them on the other side of a gorge. we drove around, went off road and parked our vehicle between the pride of 15 lions, including 5 lioness and 10 cubs. We watched in amazement as the cubs and their moms interacted. We could not get enough of the cubs so our tracker and guide would find this pride again for the next two days. We had many other amazing experiences and wildlife encounters. The lodges were perfect and the staff was terrific and could not do enough for us. Bottom line is that I could not have planned this perfect trip without the help of Zicasso.

    I loved this experience with Zicasso. I was a bit nervous as it was my first time using them, but they worked very quickly to get me in touch with several well-qualified travel agencies for my trip. I was pleased with all of the selections I contacted. It appears that Zicasso only works with the best of the best and that means the world to me as I travel into unknown territory!

    We have planned several international trips via Zicasso and I highly recommend it. The agents with whom we were connected were superb, planned meticulous itineraries, listened closely to the types of activities we wanted to engage in, sourced phenomenal hotels, and ensured that we enjoyed our destination to the fullest. If you are looking for 5-star planning, look no further. Highly recommend.

    Zicasso helped us plan our dream vacation to New Zealand from the US. They matched us up with the perfect travel agent who was able to set up everything from transportation to the many tours we did. We never would have been able to see so much in 2 weeks if we planned it on our own! I will definitely be using them again for another trip in the future!

  • 1/5 Roland F. 1 year ago on Google
    I tried using a travel agent referred by Zicasso for a custom trip to Italy. They proposed pricing for land only (hotels, transfers, tours) that was double or 100% over actual cost to book online direct. I was willing to pay the travel agent a fee or percentage to help me plan a nice trip, but they refused to come off their prices. So I booked my trip direct (booked hotels and tours online) and saved thousands per person. I am not sure what value Zicasso really adds if all they do is double your vacation expense.

    My family and I had the most wonderful trip to Morocco in January. The Zicasso Agency was invaluable in planning and coordinating every facet of the trip and customized to our family's needs. They kept in touch with us while in Morocco asking if there was anything else they could do to make our vacation even more enjoyable. Our guides in both Marrakesh and Fez were spectacular and flexible in every regard and made the trip a perfect experience.

    Zicasso put us in touch with an agency that was an expert on the country we were planning on visiting. Zicasso provided an amazing fast response from our initial request to getting us connected. I highly recommend people planning international travel to use Zicasso.

  • 5/5 Chris B. 11 months ago on Google
    Our family of 6 had a great 8 day vacation in Belize thanks to the planning of our Zicasso travel agent. The itinerary was perfect - 4 days in the jungle and 4 days at the beach. Every tour that the agent suggested was perfect from cave tubing to hiking to seeing Mayan ruins to snorkeling. All the guides were excellent! The 2 resorts could not have been better. The accommodations were ideal and the food exceptional. Will definitely use Zicasso for our next adventure!

  • 5/5 Saad “Saadi” H. 10 months ago on Google
    Loved our experience with Zicasso for our Spain trip for a family of 5. Everything worked out well with Zicasso putting the right itinerary in front of us and providing contacts in country to tailor our vacation. We could not have been happier with our visit to Spain via Zicasso. As part of our vacation plan, our trip to Grenada, Spain was excellent. The tour guides that were assigned to each of our excursions (venue tickets and priority access) were great. The private transportation was always timely and stress-free for us. Accommodations were great all along the trip situated perfectly in the middle of all the action (heart of downtown Barcelona and in the center of urban Grenada). If we were to do this again, (we definitely will book again with Zicasso), we would just try not to pack on too much into the same trip. We were flying quite a bit within a span of 6-7 days (no fault of Zicasso since we asked for the destinations), I would limit that and while it depends on personal interest, I would have definitely liked to spend more time in Grenada and Cordoba. I would also not book a trip too far into the summer in Spain as the weather was starting to get pretty hot. Cordoba in July and August is a frightful thought. Overall, we were extremely pleased with the quality, planning and execution of our vacation by Zicasso. Please keep it up!

    As a repeat customer of Zicasso, I really like their system. The ability to speak to multiple travel professionals allows you to pick the best ideas and compare services and pricing. The trips we planned with Zicasso have been great as our experience shows they work with top notch travel companies.

  • 5/5 Lindsay F. 11 months ago on Google
    Happened upon Zicasso when beginning my search for planning out a huge family dream Trip to multiple countries in Europe ! I wasn’t sure what to think at first but was really pleased to see we were put in contact with multiple agencies that matched where we wanted to go! I loved having zicasso do the work in searching these out for us ! We were able to fine tune itineraries and budgets and find the right partner for us that made our trip a dream come true ! Our trip was INCREDIBLE

  • 5/5 L B. 11 months ago on Google
    Zicasso Travel is absolutely top notch. They listen to your needs and match you with a travel agent to fit you perfectly! I would recommend them to any and all that wish for a personalized trip of a lifetime or for any trip you wish to take. Our Italy trip was simply amazing and smooth from start to finish.

  • 5/5 Ann H. 11 months ago on Google
    We have used Zicasso for our last two international trips. They sent us high end travel companies to choose from which eliminated me having to find excellent companies on my own. We have been incredibly pleased with the travel agencies they referred us to and will use Zicasso for our future travel plans.

  • 5/5 M P. 1 year ago on Google
    Given the vast information available about travel it became a bit overwhelming to make the right decisions about where to go or what to do. Zicasso helped filter our options and put us in touch with local travel planners who were experts in their respective country. Would certainly recommend using their service.

  • 5/5 Daniel F. 11 months ago on Google
    Picasso was a surprise and delight. I'd never heard of it till a friend cued me. The service is quick, efficient and responsive. We were referred to local agents who managed every aspect of our trip to Portugal. They listened and understood our needs and our budget and worked closely with us to optimize our itinerary. They saved us a lot of time and money and produced a satisfying experience. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to you.

  • 5/5 Sonja T. 6 months ago on Google
    Zicasso helped us plan a fantastic 2 week vacation to France for my husband and I to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The travel agent we worked devised a perfect itinerary- ensuring we got to see everything (and more!) that we wanted to see, that we stayed in the type of hotels we like, in walking distance to town and attractions. The itinerary had everything laid out for us - from which train to take, a car picking us up, tour guides that really knew their stuff as well as answering questions such as dinner reservation questions (we wanted to go to a Michelin restaurant at some point during our trip). I am so happy that we stumbled across Zicasso and used them. We will use them again for our next trip!

  • 5/5 Lydia M. 9 months ago on Google
    Zicasso made traveling easy by connecting us with a travel agent who was able to work with us individually to tailor a trip for my husband and I. I was finishing up my residency and did not have the time to plan everything out on my own. It was absolutely the trip of a lifetime. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.

  • 5/5 Ivor K. 6 months ago on Google
    We have just spent two weeks in Italy planned and executed with Zicasso We visited Milan, Lecce, Ostuni, Matera. This trip could not have been better. The choice of hotels , cabs , tour guides were all top notch. Planning and execution were top notch and we wouldn't have seen all the places and attractions without their recommendations. Highly recommended. This is our second trip using Zicasso

  • 5/5 Chris D. 1 year ago on Google
    Working with Zicasso was much better than I had expected. So different from the other companies out there for the better. We wanted to travel to Italy and decided to work with Zicasso. They connected us with some excellent travel consultants who specialized in this and we worked closely with those experts who created wonderful itineraries for us. The hardest part was deciding which to go with as the itineraries were all wonderful. After making a decision we worked very closely with our consultant to finalize our trip, which turned out to be fantastic. I would recommend Zicasso to anyone looking to create a custom itinerary this was a great way to build exactly the trip you are looking.

  • 5/5 Marsha S. 1 year ago on Google
    I have used Zicasso twice and have been so pleased with the outcome! Each time it was so easy to enter info. to get started and travel specialists reached out to me the next day. I was put in touch with 2 (first trip 3) travel specialists, each having their own suggestions and style of travel. It was then easy for me to discuss my interest in the trip and choose one. Then that specialist worked very closely with me, refining what I wanted in my trip, and even following up while on my travels. Unbelievable travel itineraries and attention to detail both times. I highly recommend Zicasso as a starting point for your journey! They clearly have the best contacts for your destination!

  • 5/5 Robin P. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband and I have used Zicasso vetted travel agencies for our last 8 international trips Italy, Germany,Spain,Portugal,Greece,Turkey,Ireland,New Zealand&Australia. Each of these trips were carefully planned with travel professionals.The seamless and unique nature of these trips keep us coming back! The travel agents always work within our budget but I'm often amazed at the amazing experiences we get for our vacation dollar. Researching and planning vacations is half the fun and Zicasso's expert travel agents always offer guidance and suggestions.

  • 5/5 Lindsay C. 1 year ago on Google
    I found Zicasso when looking for a travel agency to help us plan our honeymoon. I loved the concept and we gave it a try not knowing what to expect. It was the best, easiest process! And I loved that we were able to hear from different travel agents and make our own decision from there. We got two high-quality itineraries and chose based on our personal priorities. I would highly recommend Zicasso, and our honeymoon was so flawless. I will absolutely use this service again in the future, especially for traveling abroad!!

  • 5/5 Ralph R. 2 years ago on Google
    I contacted Zicasso to plan a trip to Costa Rica. They were very attentive to my plans and worked with me to schedule the best activities and to inform me of the Covid 19 restrictions to and from Costa Rica. I would recommend them highly.

  • 5/5 K C. 1 year ago on Google
    Fabulous experience! Zicasso listened to our needs and delivered local planners who executed a flawless vacation to Italy. Kudos to Zicasso for knowing their customers and connecting us with local experts - I will absolutely be using them again

  • 5/5 Gary P. 1 year ago on Google
    Another great trip thanks to Zicasso. This was our 2nd trip using Zicasso and their network of local travel agents. This year we took a fabulous 2 week trip to Greece that exceeded our expectations in every way. What we appreciate most about Zicasso is their ability to match us with local travel agents that truly know the destinations first hand and provide an exceptional level of service both I the planning and during the trip. Highly recommended for peace of mind and a great time!

  • 5/5 Michele F. 1 year ago on Google
    I am currently on my third Zicasso trip and find their services invaluable. When traveling to a foreign country it is helpful to have the guidance of someone who lives there to guide you to the best locations and values for both your time and money. My trips are geared around my interests. Advisors spend as much time with you as necessary to create the perfect itinerary. I also love that they coordinate transportation so that I am able to enjoy great travel experiences instead of coordinating sometimes difficult transfers between cites or countries. They arranged private tours with local drivers and guides to places we would never have found on our own at the best times to visit to optimize our time without the crowds that frequently exist at some tourist destinations. Zicasso provides great service!

  • 5/5 Melissa L. 1 year ago on Google
    Zicasso gave me several choices for travel agents for my trip to Spain and Portugal. The one I choose to work with was terrific. The trip was seamless…very easy to work with…listened to what I wanted and adapted the itinerary accordingly. Very responsive to questions before, during and after our trip. I can’t say enough good things.

  • 5/5 Joel P. 6 years ago on Google
    Zicasso connected me with a few companies that specialize in African safaris. I was very pleased with the one I chose and they took time to talk to me in order to find out what I wanted and then arranged a two-week safari in Tanzania and Kenya that could not have been better. We had a private guide most of the time and the tent camps were exceptional.

  • 5/5 Cris L. 4 years ago on Google
    I used Zicasso to help me coordinate a trip to Patagonia in Chile and Argentina. I quickly received communications from two local travel agents who were very helpful in providing information and designing an itinerary perfectly suited to our way of traveling. I chose one who was exceptional, efficient and reliable. We were extremely pleased with the chosen accommodations, tours and activities, and the personal care they provided. We would definitely use Zicasso again for our international travels!

  • 5/5 Ruth G. 2 years ago on Google
    wonderful experience! they did such a great job helping us plan our dream trip.

  • 5/5 Katherine W. 2 years ago on Google
    Zicasso planned us the honeymoon of our dreams! We loved every second of it, and will cherish the memories we made for a lifetime. From private transportation to the most amazing tours, tour guides and wine tastings, we highly recommend planning your next trip with this incredible travel agency!

  • 5/5 Sean Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Wife and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary for 12 days in Croatia, This travel company was terrific in helping me set everything up for us with laying out a plan to travel the country. The trip spanning 12 days, covered everything we wanted to along with few recommendations made by our travel advisor. The city-to-city and services were always on time and created a "no stress" environment for our trip. Could not be more pleased with our experience and recommend trusting them with your trip, having already setup our friends future trip with them. A+! And Croatia... absolutely stunning and THE places to vacation in Europe, if you have not yet!
