Reviews of Zicasso's Italy Food & Wine Tours

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!

Working with Zicasso's travel consultant was easy and seamless. Every guide and driver she scheduled showed up on time (or early) and they were extremely pleasant individuals, with lots of local knowledge. The hotel recommendations were also excellent! I would highly recommend working with her and the tour company!
