Review: Luxury Ireland Honeymoon, Dublin, Dingle Peninsula, Burren National Park

When I used Zicasso I didn't know anything about it except for the relatively few reviews.  However, I pursued this option because it seemed to match what I wanted.  I was planning a honeymoon, and I had a general idea of where I wanted to go in Ireland, but I really wanted some expert advice to help me nail down the details.  Enter Zicasso.  They paired me with a trusted agency based in Ireland that could help me.  Could I have done the research and found them on my own?  Probably.  However, I'm extremely happy with our travel agency and their service and support throughout the process, so I'm glad I chose Zicasso to make that match.  It seems that Zicasso is keenly interested in the amount you plan to spend on a trip, and if you are going on the cheap, they may not be for you.  Again, this was a honeymoon, so I wasn't pinching pennies too much, and the fit was right.

On to our travel agency....we worked with our agent from the outset, which included a telephone call to go over what I was looking to do.  We wanted to travel across Ireland to include stays in at least 3 separate locations.  We wanted to explore the country, but not be too rushed, and we hate large tour groups. Our agent put together a great proposal, we had some discussions back and forth over email, and concluded on the itinerary.  I had done a good bit of research, and I'm typically one to book things on my own, however, our agent's insight was extremely valuable.  She helped guide the direction of our trip taking into account the driving distances, etc.  I also felt more relaxed as she provided the recommendations for places to stay and things to do.  A little less time I needed to read countless reviews while also helping with the wedding planning.  A great example of her expertise, was that she recommended a wonderful little town for our last night that was near the airport, but outside of Dublin.  Not only was it a great place to spend our last night, but it also made the final drive to the airport the next morning stress free.  A great tip.  The first 3 nights were in Dublin and when it was time drive to the next destination, Our agent arranged for the rental car to be dropped off at our hotel.  That way we could leave on our next adventure straight away, instead of going to the airport to pick up a rental - something I had not considered.  Communication was stellar; replies were always, and I mean always, prompt and informative.  I truly felt she was there for us.
