From the moment Zicasso’s travel specialist and I had our initial conversation, it was clear we were in the hands of someone who truly listens. She grasped immediately — and completely — what this trip was meant to be: a graduation celebration for our son, a love letter to Italy, a journey that would feel lived rather than scheduled. She never needed to be told twice.
What followed was an itinerary that reflected genuine taste and local mastery at every turn. The experiences she curated were uniformly excellent — not just good on paper, but extraordinary in execution. The restaurants she chose were exactly right, each one. The drivers were punctual, professional, and a pleasure to be with. And perhaps most tellingly, she built breathing room into every afternoon — unhurried time to simply absorb where we were. That restraint is a rare gift in travel planning and it made all the difference.
The travel specialist didn’t just organize a trip. She understood the trip we were trying to create and then made it better than we imagined. The travel company has earned a client for life and we will not plan another Italian journey without her.

Zicasso’s travel company is knowledgeable and passionate about Switzerland! The agents were responsive to our travel objectives and budget. They were very thorough and timely in offering us recommendations and options for lodging, transportation, and sightseeing. Final arrangements were made and confirmed promptly and as discussed.
The itinerary, documents, and links they sent to us prior to travel prepared and guided us well to navigate the superb transportation system in Switzerland and access the museums and natural sights we wanted to see. We had no issues or problems during our stay in Switzerland.
We would most certainly use this travel company again and recommend their excellent organization to others. A pleasure and effective! Well done!

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned a wonderful private itinerary for me and my parents, covering Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya, and many locations in between. There was incredible variety; we saw mosques and bazaars, took a boat along the Turquoise Coast, visited an underground city, and rode in balloons.
One of my parents has mobility issues and the travel specialist and our guide made great efforts to accommodate. They were also open to feedback and made quick adjustments throughout the trip, where necessary. Our guide was constantly available, which made our journey very comfortable and easy. This was the trip of a lifetime and a special memory for my family.
