Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

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.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The whole trip was memorable, but to choose a few I would definitely have to put the hotel in Donegal up at the top. Our agent, Mirella recommended we stay at this hotel located in Donegal, Ireland. My whole family loved it and wished we could've stayed for a whole week. The rooms, the food (loved Cedar's Restaurant) and most importantly the genuine kindness of the entire staff was amazing. They definitely made us feel so special. Traveling with a large group is not always easy, but everyone at the Castle made us feel like we were family.
The Titanic Museum in Belfast was also high on our list. So much history - the Belfast people have much to be proud of for their accomplishments of building the Titanic.
We had such a blast climbing all over the Giant Causeway - it was such a fun surprise as we really didn't know what to expect. Don't count it out - you'll love it.
Our stay in Edinburgh was also amazing. We had a a private guided tour, and our guide was one of the best tour guides any of us have ever had on a trip. There is so much history in old Edinburgh - do yourself a favor and see it all.
Our visit to St. Andrews was the perfect way to end our trip. Several family members were able to play golf. All of us loved St. Andrews and would like to come back for a longer visit. The highlight (besides golf) was staying at the hotel there. Again thank you Mirella for knowing the perfect place for our group to stay. The staff was amazing, the hotel and grounds were beautiful and the entire staff were so kind and helpful. We definitely are coming back.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I would stay longer at the hotels in Donegal and St. Andrews for starters. I would use these hotels as a base and do several day trips from them.
I would have stayed one extra night in the Highlands - it is absolutely beautiful.
I would stay longer at St. Andrews in order to really get the "feel" of the town.
