Travel Review: Luxury Tour of Egypt & Jordan, Petra, Nile Cruise, Pyramid Tours, Camel Ride, Local Culture & Cuisine

This agency arranged our trip to Egypt and Jordan.  We were nervous, since we had never heard of the travel agency or Zicasso and the people here at home told us that traveling to Egypt and Jordan would be dangerous.  As the trip grew closer, we were warned over and over again about traveling to the Middle East.  Well... being nervous was just wasted energy because every step of the way from the moment we arrived until the moment we departed was magical. Our travel designer crafted a tour for us, after listening to what we wanted, that was out of this world. I can't say enough about his arrangements, guidance, thoughtfulness and attention to detail. Things were taken care of for all aspects of the trip.  Our only job was to take it all in an enjoy, and we did.  I'm curious and very well traveled.  I like things first class regarding a hotel but I like to mingle with the people, eat local food, explore off the beat path, understand the culture and not really let on that once I close that hotel room door it must be spotless and comfy.  We had no wants that were unfulfilled.  When we were tired, our guide abbreviated things, when we wanted to linger our guide lingered with us.  We never felt unsafe.  We felt embraced.  Egypt and Jordan are filled with hospitality and smiling faces. Though we have never met our travel designer face to face, his hospitality shined and I'm sure he packs a great Egyptian smile too.  When we were nervous prior to departure, he calmly explained how it would be.  We took a leap of faith and we are so very pleased that we did.  Traveling with a private guide like this travel agency arranges is the way to go.  I would love to try the other countries that this company arranges tours in and my only wish is that he could do the same in more countries because now I'm spoiled.  Spoiled with the overwhelming hospitality, warmth, and the 'can do' attitude of our travel designer and his guides in Egypt and in Jordan.  Bravo and Thank You for taking such good care of us.
