Food & Wine Travel Guide

This was a perfect Portuguese getaway, thanks to Zicasso's travel designer and the travel company!

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with her and the travel company. From the moment we reached out with just the idea of visiting Portugal, it was clear we were in excellent hands. She and her team went above and beyond to provide personal attention that made all the difference.

What stood out most was how genuinely she listened to what we wanted. Every suggestion felt handpicked for us—from charming hotels in Lisbon and Porto to incredible jeep tours in the Azores to a one-of-a-kind personal wine tasting in the Douro Valley that we never would have discovered on our own. Her knowledge of Portugal is unmatched and you can tell she is passionate about sharing the real Portugal with their clients.

Despite the high level of service, everything was surprisingly affordable. We got tremendous value without ever feeling like corners were being cut. It’s rare to find a company that balances quality and cost so well, but Zicasso's travel designer has struck that perfect balance.

This wasn’t just a trip—it was an experience we’ll remember forever. If you're considering a trip to Portugal, don't waste time trying to figure it out on your own. Let her and her team take care of it—you’ll be so glad you did!

We have just returned from our two-week trip to Portugal. This was the first time we've ever used an agency to help us plan a trip and we are hooked! Just having the ease of mind that everything was booked, planned, and paid for before we left was such a load off our shoulders.

In regard to the travel specialists with Zicasso's travel company, we couldn't be happier with how they handled every little detail! They made us feel like we were their friends and not just clients. The agent was straightforward with her opinions when we had questions, sharing her vast knowledge of the country, and together we came up with an amazing itinerary.

We traveled to Greece in September 2025 for an 18-day trip to five locations. We went through Zicasso and were paired with the primary travel company and the local partner. I cannot express how wonderful our trip was. It was apparent that every detail was carefully tailored to meet all of our wants and needs. From the transfers to the tours, and the hotel accommodations and locations, everything about it was just perfect! Highly recommended if you want a worry-free trip.

We had a wonderful experience, from planning our trip with Zicasso's travel designer to experiencing all Italy had to offer. She and her team worked with us when we needed to have them step in on hotel accommodations at our beach resort.

This was a superb trip that allowed us to combine personal visits to Taormina and Syracuse with a pre-planned group meeting in Catania. Planning and communication were excellent, supported by an app that let us easily view our itinerary, complete with phone numbers for the drivers, hotels, and the tour operator contacts.

The hotels were perfect! They were wonderfully located, with impeccable service in Taormina and Syracuse. Our excursions were private and diverse, and allowed us to combine culture, foodie interests, and free time. The guides were top-notch, knowledgeable, and flexible.

We especially loved seeing the smaller towns of Sicily; Militello, Ragusa, Aci Castello, and Modica. We even arrived in one small town during their annual festival.

We had a dedicated driver for our trip who was, himself, a treasure; always on time, always ready to adjust to changes, and a delightful personality.

This was such a good experience that we have selected Zicasso's tour operator to book another Italy trip next year.

This was the trip of a lifetime! We can't recommend Zicasso's travel designer and her team highly enough. The hotels, tour guides, and drivers she selected for us were all fantastic. We look forward to working with her upon our return to Italy, which we hope will be sooner rather than later. Don't hesitate to contact her!
