New Zealand Outdoor Adventures Tour: Hiking, Biking, Kayaking, Glacier Walk

A great and surprising experience. I had never used a travel agent before. Thru the Zicasso experience we selected an agent, and then got the full value of her expertise.  We had a loose pre-conceived itinerary that she essentially "talked us out of," at great benefit to us. She took the things we wanted to do in New Zealand, and kicked the trip up a notch by highlighting things we should skip (that weren't spectacular enough for the amount of time we had for travel,) and by suggesting numerous activities, hotels and restaurants we had never heard of.

Hiring the travel agent gave me more than a booking service. It gave me knowledge and recommendations for things I never would have discovered on my own, no matter how much research I did.

We are very active people, and our agent responded to our requests for fun with a great itinerary of pre-scheduled events (kayaking, biking, heli hiking, etc in all of the most beautiful places.)  However, she paired it with great gourmet food and wine excursions, and over the top hotel suggestions. For example, TreeTops super lodge to end our vacation was stunning.
