Austria Travel Guide

Our trip to Switzerland and Austria greatly exceeded our expectations! Zicasso’s travel specialist and the team planned every detail of our entire trip beautifully! I would very highly recommend him for travel planning anywhere in Europe. He is the reason we had the trip of a lifetime and we definitely plan to use the travel company for all of our future Europe travels. We could not be any happier with what they did for us!!

What a wonderful trip we had! Everything was planned out so very well. The two tour guides we had were exemplary and we enjoyed those days immensely. Most of the hotels were great, with terrific locations. The suggestions of activities offered for each place were spot-on. We especially loved the string quartet concert in Salzburg.

The communication of Zicasso's travel company was really good. I always felt they were right there to help when I needed it, which I definitely did one early morning. The train passes at the hotel in Lucerne had not been sent to them, but somebody got them to me in 20 minutes. Crisis averted.

We were not thrilled when we got to Vienna and found the Pride Festival was in full swing. It really made getting around the city a challenge. If I’d known that, I probably would’ve stayed an extra day in another city to avoid that.

Thanks for all you did to make this trip for our family so memorable.

It was flawless from beginning to end. Everyone was on time, with no issues of any kind. Our guide was with us for most of the tour. He knew pretty much everything and took great care of us. Highly recommended.

We are a family of seven, ages 17-63, and Zicasso’s travel company created an incredible 12-day trip for us all to Switzerland and Austria. There were a lot of transportation logistics, tickets, hotel and dining reservations, and intricate details that they seamlessly pulled together for us. Having our own (and the same) driver for the duration of the trip was an incredible perk.

We traveled to Zurich, Grindelwald, Zermatt, Lucerne, Salzburg, and Hallstatt. We had a wonderful time, thanks to their detailed planning, itinerary, and attention to important details, including one traveler with celiac disease/special dietary needs.

Don't miss paragliding and the Via Ferrata in Murren, Switzerland, and the Fräulein Maria bike tour in Salzburg!

Excellent trip. We loved the variety of locations, the activities provided, and the hotels. The trip took us to places we would never have considered otherwise and allowed us to have some very enjoyable interactions with locals. Of course, it helped that it was sunny nine out of 10 days for our trip!

Zicasso's travel specialists were both very pleasant and did an excellent job listening to our requests, answering questions, and customizing our trip to fit our needs. During the actual trip, one of the travel specialists checked in with us daily to make sure all was going well. When reservations fell through at a restaurant, that travel specialist responded almost immediately and found us a great alternative. We will definitely reach out to them again should our travels take us to this region of the world.

We had a wonderful trip to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland! The people from the tour operator were very helpful in the planning phase of our trip. They were able to design a trip that included a variety of experiences that appealed to our different interests in each of the six cities we visited.

The accommodations they booked for us were all very clean and comfortable, and in good locations, within walking distance of sights or transportation to those sights. We mostly traveled by train once we arrived in Europe and they were helpful in booking train tickets for travel in Germany and Austria, and the Swiss rail and bus passes that we used for travel in Switzerland.

A representative kept in contact with us and was available to answer questions as needed. When one of the activities was canceled due to bad weather, they facilitated ticket refunds for us. We were very pleased with the planning and responsiveness of Zicasso's tour operator and would use them to plan a trip again.
