Tuscany Travel Guide

Picturesque rolling hills, terraced vineyards, and pebbled streets lined with cypress trees create the celebrated image of Tuscany. Medieval towns with soaring towers and cobblestone streets crown the bluffs, while beautiful estates offer samples of historic wines and luscious olive oils. The Renaissance takes on life among the museum galleries and preserved palaces, while hidden corners of the region retain their beauty through national parks and Unesco statuses. Our Tuscany Travel Guide has more information on how to enjoy the combination of expected wonders and surprising treasures during your trip.

Italy Vacation Review: Venice, Florence, Rome, Siena, 12 Days

An unforgettable trip to Italy, thanks to Zicasso's travel specialist and the tour company!

Our travel specialist did an outstanding job planning our trip to Venice, Florence, and Rome. From our first conversation, she took the time to understand what we wanted to see and experience, and she built an itinerary around our interests. Every detail was thoughtfully coordinated, from our hotels and transfers to our excursions.

Before we even left, our travel specialist spent an hour on a video call walking us through every stop and answering all of our questions. We felt prepared and confident heading into our trip. She also provided easy-to-follow maps for each location and was available 24/7 whenever we had a question or concern.

The hotels she selected were clean and in prime locations, with easy access to the sights we wanted to visit. Our excursions were five-star experiences, and we especially appreciated the semi-private groups. They felt personal and allowed us to enjoy each place without being part of a huge tour group.

Our travel specialist made the entire experience feel seamless, so we could relax and enjoy Italy. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a travel agent who listens, pays attention to every detail, and truly cares about making your trip special. Thank you to our travel specialist for helping us create memories we'll cherish forever!

Italy Tour Review: Guides, 10 Days

We just returned from our first trip to Italy. We decided quickly that trying to book this trip on our own was too overwhelming, despite all the advice from friends who went on their own. We took the recommendation to contact Zicasso. We were beyond impressed with the entire experience with Zicasso and their travel partner.

The travel partner set up our itinerary based on our preferences. We had a virtual meeting to go over our itinerary before we left. We loved every hotel and guide, and the entire transfer process to each location was seamless. The travel partner was immediately available the few times we had questions, which was so comforting. We will be using them again for certain on future trips.

Italy Vacation Review: Sicily, Ragusa, Modica, Noto, Ortigia, Palermo, Agrigento, Catania, Mount Etna, Taormina, Cheese Making, Chocolate Making, Wine Tasting, 12 Days

Zicasso's travel specialist did an amazing job organizing our perfect vacation. We experienced everything we wanted to plus more.

The drivers were great. Our driver was especially professional and caring and gave us tons of fantastic recommendations. The private tours were awesome and unexpectedly unique. We loved the cheese-making experience in Ragusa, the chocolate-making in Modica, and the wine tour near Noto.

Our hotels were all first class with huge rooms, comfy beds, big baths, and awesome breakfasts. I think we paid a bit more than we expected, but the results were everything we wanted.

The pacing was great, except we would have skipped Noto on the Sunday and slept in and just gone to the winery or stayed in beautiful Ortigia.

Our travel specialist is a great listener and planner. I would use her and the travel company again and recommend them to anyone.

Thank you!

Everything about our trip to Italy was fabulous! We traveled to Rome, Ciociaria, Sorrento, Florence, and Venice.

Zicasso's travel company was fantastic at every point in the process. Every detail was addressed in advance, and when we had questions, they were answered quickly. Every tour guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant. Our travel company reached out to us daily during our stay to review the plan for the day. Each hotel was excellent!

We highly recommend Zicasso's travel specialist and his team. We look forward to working with them again in the future.
