Germany Tour Review: Oktoberfest, Wine Experiences, History, Culture, 14 Nights

Zicasso's tour operator did a fantastic job of listening to our requests and putting together a well-orchestrated tour of southern Germany. The four of us had a number of requirements, some of them conflicting, and the tour operator was able to help us fulfill all of the requirements. We didn't want to be moving hotels every couple of days, so they arranged for us to have a couple of base cities and travel from there to other locations. Great job!

Germany Travel Review: Oktoberfest, Garmisch, Heidelberg, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Andernach, Rudesheim, 9-Night Trip

Zicasso's travel designer was great to work with and helped put together a trip that my group of 27 absolutely loved. The guides we had at each of our destinations were top-notch, as were our accommodations. I would definitely recommend her and the tour company to anyone looking to put together a trip.

Germany Vacation Review: Baden-Baden, Munich, Nuremberg, Dachau, History, Museums, Castles, Scenery, 2-Week Trip

We enjoyed working with Zicasso's travel consultant and her staff to formulate an itinerary that would cover most of what we wanted to see in Germany. We communicated often until we got to a final, acceptable itinerary. When in Germany, she and her staff were very much in touch with us every day to see if everything was going OK. The actual itinerary was executed flawlessly, considering all the drivers and guides we relied on and all the places we visited.

Germany Vacation Review: Munich, Rothenburg, Bayreuth, Mainz, Kirchhundem, Norderney, Family Heritage, Gutenberg Bible, 15 Nights

We took an unusual, self-guided trip from Munich to Norderney and back, tracing our family roots. It was a wonderful time! The accommodations arranged by Zicasso's travel agency were excellent. We had good communication with our agent throughout. He added personal transportation to and from the Munich airport. Overall, we found Germany to be a wonderful country and the agency to be a good company to deal with.

Germany, Switzerland Travel Review: Meersburg, Freiburg, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Berlin, Food Tour, Local Cuisine, 13-Day Tour

From the moment we landed in Germany to the moment we left, the trip was incredibly well planned and tailored specifically to what we were interested in, but with the expert knowledge of Zicasso's travel agent and our tour operator to guide us toward our best possible experience.

DO IAfter receiving the initial itinerary proposal from him, we had a helpful phone conversation to talk about our family "must-do's." The itinerary was adjusted accordingly and was perfect. Every day had a memorable experience and everything went smoothly!

I cannot recommend this tour company any higher. If you are considering working with our travel agent and his colleague, do it. I am already trying to determine when we can return to Germany and work with them to plan our Germany vacation (part two)!
