France Travel Review: Normandy Region, Brittany Region, Walking Castle Ramparts, Dinan

Our travel consultant was very responsive throughout the entire process. We were actually planning our trip for summer 2022 because we were booked for London summer 2021. However, I’m a compulsive planner and we had worked out most of the details for the itinerary by June 2021. When it became apparent London wasn’t going to lift their quarantine for even vaccinated travelers, I asked our France travel consultant if there was any way he could get everything put together in 3 weeks and we could switch France to this summer. 

He immediately began booking lodging, tours, etc for us and we just returned from a very memorable week in Normandy and Brittany area. He listened to my preferences, concerns, health issues and put together a great trip. 

My husband suffered a medical emergency our first night in France and we’d have been in for a very difficult experience if our guide had not stayed with us thru the ambulance ride and emergency room until he delivered us back to our hotel at 3:30 am!  Over and above the value of customized itineraries and personalized services, times like this reinforce the total value of a Zicasso vacation. A totally custom experience means I don’t waste 1- 2 of my precious vacation days seeing things I have no real interest in - which you invariably do on stock itineraries of big tours. I don’t spend untold hours riding a bus. And when an emergency happens I have access to trusted assistance. 

We took our son and daughter-in-law with us this trip and they were so impressed our son told us he thought we should always travel this way as it will allow us to travel stress-free for years longer than we might be able to otherwise. This is our 2nd Zicasso trip and both were meticulously planned with high-quality lodging, transportation, and guides. Can’t wait for our next adventure!
