Germany Travel Review: Munich, Neuschwanstein, Market, Local...

This was the trip of a lifetime. Zicasso's tour company was incredible to work with from start to finish. Our travel designer asked all of the right questions to understand our travel vibe and, along with the team, she ensured every bit of the trip was planned and executed to perfection. We could not be more impressed. We could not have enjoyed our trip more. Absolutely the best!

Germany Tour Review: 12 Nights

We just returned from one of the most fabulous trips we have ever taken. I lived in Germany back in the 80s and wanted to share some of the most beautiful areas with my husband.

We were most fortunate to come in contact with Zicasso's travel expert. After our initial phone call with her, we knew this would be a great trip.

We had several phone calls and emails with her and her colleagues to talk about the trip in general. With each phone call and with their recommendations, we would get more and more excited about our trip.

When we arrived in Germany, waiting in our hotel room was a beautiful book of our itinerary. All we had to do was go page by page each day. Each page included details of what we would be doing for that day, along with tickets (if needed) for events, brochures, and all details for that day. Also included was a phone for us to use while in Germany. They had pre-programmed contact numbers of anyone from the agency we might need to contact, phone numbers of our tour guides, GPS, a digital copy of our itinerary, hotel contacts, etc. They were available to us 24/7 for any needs or concerns. The agency also checked with us throughout the trip to make sure things were going well. Their tour guides in the various cities were very knowledgeable, personable, and very thorough with their tours. We really enjoyed them all.

This was a very memorable and wonderful trip for us. We give all the credit to our travel company for listening to us and making it happen in ways we would not have expected. This was a trip of a lifetime for us! Many thanks to all for your hard work! We would highly recommend them to anyone!

The planning was superb! All details were expertly described in the provided itinerary and easily followed. Any necessary changes that were required along the way were quickly and professionally handled by the Zicasso travel company's personnel! Our travel expert very carefully included all of my requests and made many useful suggestions in the planning of the tour.

The company could not have been better. The guides and drivers who were selected by them for our itinerary were excellent. Also, we had the privilege of traveling for a few days with a company member as driver and guide. He was "the best" and extremely accommodating.
