We had an excellent trip to Peru! The travel company was able to work with us to evaluate different options for our trip. Also during the planning phase, there were questions around political unrest in the country, but the travel company founder spoke with us and talked through options and contingency planning, which we found very helpful. Ultimately the in-country situation improved, and we traveled to Peru. The trip was an incredible adventure and one we would certainly recommend to others.

The team at 14You Travel made our tour to Croatia amazing!  There were 12 people in our group and everyone agreed that it was planned perfectly. As one of the people that worked with her to plan, I must say made it almost effortless.  Our agent had our itinerary organized full of fun without ever feeling hectic.  Everywhere in Croatia, we felt safe and welcomed!  Truffles in Motovun, cevapi in Split, traditional Peka near Hvar, fresh oysters right out of the shell on the water in Ston!  All delicious! The history and beauty of the Old Town and City Walls in Dubrovnik left us all in awe.  AND we visited multiple wineries all along the way as well.  With all these highlights, she arranged tour guides that were reliable, informed, fun and proud to share with us why they love their home.  Truly wonderful memories!!We all sincerely loved every minute of the trip and everyone hopes to visit with our own families in the future...but not without calling our agent first!

We were very fortunate to work with Irene and her team at the travel agency on our recent 23-day trip to Greece.  They worked with us to craft an extraordinary vacation.From the very beginning, Irene was extremely responsive. We told her about our list of must-see destinations and a number of interests beyond those specific places.  Irene put together an itinerary that reflected all of our wishes and made additional suggestions based on our discussion with her. She worked collaboratively with us to flesh out specific details. Once in Greece, all of our logistics were handled remarkably smoothly.  Irene and her colleague met us when we arrived at the Athens airport, and discussed with us all of the final details. Each transition from one location to another  -- we stayed in eleven hotels overall, flew within Greece and took a ferry -- was trouble-free.All of our drivers showed up on time, wore masks (as we requested) and drove safely on roads that could be difficult.  Some of them shared information about the areas and sites as we drove.  In particular, we had a wonderful driver, who was extremely knowledgeable and a delight to be with, for a seven-day drive from Athens through the Peloponnese and then north to Thessaloniki.We had private guides at archaeological sites, museums and cities. One of us is very knowledgeable about and interested in archaeology and history; the other is very interested in photography. Irene had informed the guides of our interests and concerns, and they accommodated our needs.Our hotels were, almost without exception, excellent.  Some weren’t as comfortable as others, but they were charming and were among the best available in those locations.Most of our meals (other than breakfast) were on our own, but several were included in our itinerary, and were among the best meals of our trip.We had never before had a private tour, with private drivers and guides, so we weren’t sure what to expect.  Irene and her team made us very comfortable with all of the arrangements, and provided us with an extremely memorable vacation.  We highly recommend this travel agency.

Luana at the travel agency was amazing!  She curated a fantastic itinerary for us all, with the hotels, private excursions and classes, train tickets, private drivers etc.  We couldn't have done this on our own, and even though Luana was in an entirely different time zone, she was accessible whenever we had a question, which was rare.  We felt so safe and secure knowing all the little details were taken care of for us.  All we had to do was enjoy the trip of a lifetime.  Which we certainly did!  Thanks Luana for helping make our travel dreams come true!

The travel agency did a really great job getting us around Kathmandu, Nepal and India. We were taken care from being picked up at the airport in Nepal and dropped right at security in Delhi.Jay was great to work with as we had a 44 day trip planned including a cruise. He worked out a great tour with the 9 days we allotted him. The agency was very attentive to our needs.We had our driver and new found friend on the India portion of the trip which included the Golden Triangle visiting Agra, Jaipur, and Delhi. He drove us from city to city and worked with each of the tour guides in every local. He made sure we were happy and had plenty of cold water and comforts. He was always there as we came out of any of the many stops and sites.All the tour guides were very knowledgable and we learned many new things as we explored these different cultures.Overall, everyone was great and did a fantastic job! Overall, the value of this trip is an exceptional value.

Zicasso put us in touch with Filomena at the travel agency. The whole experience was fantastic! I'm a hands on vacation planner so in the months leading up to the trip, Filomena and I had multiple conversations and email communications. She really listened to what we wanted and used her expert knowledge to guide us into a trip better than we imagined. Filomena and her business partner George met us at the airport. That kind of personal attention was symbolic of the entire trip, including on the fly text messages to anticipate issues or make recommendations for changes based on local conditions. We couldn't be happier, and I've already told friends about their service.In anticipation of crowds and in consideration of us being foodies, Filomena also made multiple restaurant recommendations which all turned out to be fantastic. Every detail was attended to. When rare minor issues arose, Filomena either anticipated them and dealt with them quickly. The guides that they used were all top notch, knowledgeable and adaptable to our desired activities.The connections were seamless and therefore zero stress.

This was an excellent company to work with. We would recommend to all.  However I want to preface this review by stating that this trip was planned back in Jan. of 2020, prior to the Chinese virus disaster, and that this trip was postponed in March 2020 for 3 consecutive years. Our original travel planner left the company, and a new one was installed to carry on this trip to completion, (she did a great job).  The goal of our trip was based on cultural aspects and the people of the countries visited.  Despite setbacks, all and all this was a good trip.   Of course, there were several instances beyond everyone’s control that caused this trip to be less than stellar.  Weather (pollution). We didn't see the sun for 30+ days, and changes due to the Chinese virus. The explanation of events and itinerary were far more glorious than received.  Not bad, but different.  But all in all it was a great trip nonetheless. Yes we would recommend to all.

Scotland & Ireland Family Tour Review: Belfast, Edinburgh, St. Andrews, Donegal, Titanic Museum, Giant Causeway, Golf, 2-Week Trip

Our trip was a "Family" trip with 14 family members (12 adults and 2 children ages 4 yrs and 19 months). My daughter lives in Ireland for her job and we all wanted to travel to Ireland to see her. We decided on a two week vacation visiting Ireland and Scotland. Our trip was absolutely amazing. My family made special memories to last a lifetime. We laughed, we danced, we bonded, went sight-seeing, just had such a fun time. Our trip was so well planned (thank you Mirella!) and everything ran smoothly and no hiccups at all. I have Zicasso and Mirella at the travel agency to thank for this. I discovered Zicasso through my research on line. I was hesitant to use their services because I guess I'm "Old School" and since so much can happen on-line I was a little nervous. I researched Zicasso and found all the reviews to be positive. I want to say "Thank You" to Zicasso for being such a well run, organized and honest company. Through Zicasso, I was referred to several travel agency's to help me plan my trip and the one I chose was this one. Mirella contacted me and I knew she was the right agent to help me plan our trip. Again, I was a little nervous planning a trip for 14 people, paying money to someone I really knew nothing about. To be honest, at first I would have preferred to use an agency that came referred from a friend, but I trusted Mirella and Zicasso and I am so glad I did. Mirella listened to what our group wanted and she provided such wonderful ideas. She took all of our requests and put it all together into a wonderful vacation. Every hotel, tour, car transfer, air travel, guides, restaurants - was on time, well organized, and just perfect!. Mirella took care of all the details so our group could just go and have fun. I knew everything was going to be great because I knew I could trust Mirella. Her follow through skills are amazing. So anyone interested in traveling to Ireland/Scotland please do yourself a favor and contact Mirella at this travel agency, you'll be glad you did.

Our daughter Sophie had been studying abroad since January in Seville, Spain. We needed to plan a family trip to see where she was living and enjoy her experiences there. We live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and had no idea where to even begin with our adventures in Spain!  So, I went online and through many reviews of travel agencies, I found Zicasso to have great reviews. Once we decided on a really good fit with Rosa from the travel agency who teams up with Zicasso for the region you are visiting. We flew out to join our daughter mid-May. ( we booked everything with our Guide Rosa about 6.5 months ahead of time) She sent us an App called UnMapped and we had full itinerary, contact names, phone numbers of drivers, tour guides, our main contact email and text through What's App. So I never felt lost or misguided. They took care of us from the moment we got off the airplane in Madrid, to a speed train to Seville, daily tours and guides and then finally our driver to pick us up and get us to the Malaga airport.  With 6 people in our party, this made things so easy so we could simply enjoy our time together on a family vacation in Spain. We had an awesome journey to the southern beauty of Spain's Andalucia region. Cities include Seville, Ronda, Mijas, Malaga, Marbella, Granada & a layover in Portugal's Lisbon. We used Zicasso - a travel agency with Rosa. I highly recommend this company. So many ways we enjoyed the vibe of Spain- from guided walking city tours, Tapas & Flamenco, wine tasting at a Vineyard ( the Flamenco museum and show was absolutely stunning!) A visit to the moorish cultural palace & fortress Alhambra in Granada, variety of cathedrals, Picasso museum, the Royal Alcazar Castle in Seville and a winery visit to Chinchilla in the rolling hills of Ronda. Sophia our daughter even surprised us with a special boat cruise on the Guadalquivir River in Seville with a champagne toast! Our feet are tired and hearts are full! What an adventure! Don't stumble around when you take a trip- hire a Guide to do it right! Bravo to Rosa and her entire team that Guided us- drivers included- were phenomenal!!!  5 plus Stars!!!

It was a perfect vacation! Kate met the budget, time allotted for the vacation and the wish list.  Kate was very responsive to our questions both during the planning and while in Australia and New Zealand.  The site she recommended (overnight Doubtful Sound cruise) became the best part of our vacation.

Zicasso was suggested to me by one of the travel agents we’ve used and I have been recommending it to friends and family.

This is the second European family vacation that I planned via a Zicasso agent. I want to keep Zicasso a secret because it is an amazing service but given my trips rave reviews and pictures I can not, not share Zicasso since everyone asks how I planned my trip. That being said this time around we were aligned with two travel agents. Both seemed great; however, there was something special about Nikos from the travel company that made us choose to work with him and his agency. From the moment we started planning the trip through our return on the trip it was amazing. I have goose bumps as I sit here and type this review. Nikos made it so simple for us. We worked through budget, timelines, wants, dreams and needs. We didn't just speak over email we met over the phone. We had one airline hiccup (delay leaving the US) Nikos was right there when we landed and had already assisted us in changing our connecting flight so we could make it to Crete as planned. The family trip to Greece was everything we dreamed of and more. We can't wait to work with Nikos and his team again for our next Greek vacation. Every tour we took was incredible all of the guides were extremely knowledgeable. We loved that the tours were private or semi private. Everyone of the tour guides also respected that we were with two children 15 and 11. They made it fun and interesting for all ages. As the trip neared we were provided an app to download with our full itinerary and everything to do every step of the way. It was amazing not to need to know to have to "think" and fully relax on vacation. We had no idea what day of the week it was while we were on vacation. We just followed along on our app. The app had every thing in it with directions and one click to reach Nikos and team and Ferries and guides.  Thank you Niko's and Family you truly made our Summer in Greece vacation one to remember for life.

    Rachel from our travel agency did an amazing job planning our Costa Rica family vacation.We loved all the tours, activities and accommodations, The resort in Manuel Antonio was my favorite, but the grounds of resort in Arenal were dreamy. The customer service in both places was amazing ( we are in love with the Ticos).     All our tours were planned for morning time which was great because we had all afternoons to relax and explore on our own. Go to the pool, the beach our just try local restaurants were a must for a real vacation  specially with kids.    All the drivers and guides were on time, professional and great with the kids.

Our family of 10, ages 20-80, recently spent a wonderful 12 days in Portugal.  I initially contacted Zicasso - a travel company I have used successfully in the past- to recommend a travel agency in Portugal to customize our trip.  The advantage to using Zicasso is that after requesting information as to where and what type of trip the client is interested in, they put the client in direct touch with a local agency.  In this case, Zicasso considered our requests and needs and recommended 2 agencies in Portugal. After some correspondence with both, I chose this travel company, based in Porto, Portugal.  I worked with Nuno, who planned a perfect trip for our family.  We travelled from Porto to Lisbon to the Algarve with private drivers and transportation.  The drivers and guides at each destination were excellent - knowledgeable and fun.  Nuno was responsive to all our needs and requests and planned many special surprises for us along the way.  I highly recommend Zicasso as a starting point to planning any travel and, in this case this travel company and Nuno for a special and splendid trip to Portugal.

We just returned from a two week trip to Thailand and Cambodia. We found our travel consultant through Zicasso. Lenny and his team at the travel agency were so incredibly professional, knowledgeable, responsive, helpful, and friendly. They helped us craft a family trip with our adult kids that exceeded all of our expectations.We’ve done a fair amount of international travel and worked with a number of different travel groups and Lenny and his team were as good or better as any that we have experienced. Not only are they helpful in the initial trip design and listening to what you want to do but then come back with a wide range of options as you refine your trip. Then, during the trip itself, they were checking in daily, making sure everything was going smoothly. All of their related travel guides and Hotels were so well integrated. We expected a few bumps along they way and really had very few if any which considering all the logistics in visiting 4 areas and lots of activities is hard to believe. Would highly recommend using this travel agency on any travels you may have in Asia and specifically, Thailand and Cambodia. John B.

Dear George,

It's been three weeks since we returned from Greece, and I am still not over how perfectly our trip went. I never even imagined myself leaving The United States, and it did not take me long to figure out I was in way over my head.

I found your company by accident while googling travel agents. Zicasso set me up with three agents to compare. It was apparent from the start that your service was at a higher level and that you were working harder to ensure that our trip was perfect. Even before you knew I would be your client, you took the time to make our quote much more personalized than any other company. It was obvious that you were listening to me, and you included a lot more details. This travel agency was a perfect match for my family.

As you know, I am a very inexperienced traveler, and my budget was critical. While planning the trip, I was apprehensive that you would be sick of me, my questions, and my concerns. This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip for my family, and I wanted it to be perfect. You never once made me feel like I was bothering you. Before we left for Greece, I was jokingly calling you “my friend George”.

I don't know how to express how much I appreciate everything you did for us during the planning and the actual trip. Starting with the itinerary, you took my "no idea what I want to do in Greece" and turned it into a personalized vacation that covered every detail and made the day-to-day trials and tribulations of traveling a pleasure. From the flights, the private drivers, the private tours, and the beautiful hotels' everything was planned perfectly, and we enjoyed it so much.

I must mention how blown away we were by the cooking lesson you arranged for us. It started when we walked through the door, and you introduced yourself to us. I was shocked that you took the time to meet us and translate for the chef; I knew you were my friend. I could not believe that you had arranged for the chef to open his restaurant just for us. Being invited into his kitchen to learn his techniques was so cool. Eating freshly made appetizers, sipping wine, and watching a professional chef cook a meal just for us was an unbelievable experience.

During the e-bike tour of Athens that you arranged, our tour guide kept using the funniest catchphrase. I told him that I would steal it and use it from now on in my personal life. It perfectly describes everything we experienced, from planning our trip to living it.

“Super Duper Wow!”

We had the best trip imaginable. Too many memorable moments to mention. I will cherish the memories for the rest of my life. If any of your future clients want a personal reference, please have them call me. I want to shout off the rooftops how wonderful your company is, how wonderful you are, and what a great time we had.

Your Friends,

Julie & Family
