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, Switzerland Travel Review: Livigno, St Moritz, Winter Olympics, 11 Nights

First time to the Olympics and an add-on to Switzerland! Zicasso’s travel specialist was great at listening to our needs and putting together an itinerary.

Our trip to Livigno was fantastic! The location to the two Olympic venues was ideal.

All of the details were covered and when we had a change in one of our day tours due to potential avalanches, the team at the travel company was extremely responsive and was able to adjust.

All of our transportation was well organized and on time. We also had to pivot when our flights home to the US were changed due to weather and the team quickly helped with adjustments to our schedule.

We loved the train from Italy to Switzerland.

We highly recommend this travel specialist and the travel company!

Italy, Switzerland Travel Review: Livigno, Milan, St Moritz, Pasta Cooking Class, 'The Last Supper', 14 Days

Our experience with Zicasso’s travel company was simply outstanding! Our travel specialists provided top-notch service, from the initial planning to the entirety of the trip.

They were able to secure housing for us in Livigno during the Olympics when no one else was able to do so. Responsiveness to our inquiries during the planning process was always prompt and thorough. Communication regarding the next day's agenda throughout the trip was excellent, including the contact information for our drivers and tour guides, tickets for events, and links to Google Maps, with directions, when needed. If we could give them more than five stars, we would!

Italy Travel Review: Sorrento, Taormina, Rome, Pompeii, Mount Etna, Wine Tasting, 2 Weeks

We had a fabulous trip to Italy, including to Sorrento, Taormina, and Rome. Zicasso’s travel specialist made sure every detail was taken care of, including stays in beautiful, well-located hotels and excursions that were interesting and fun for our family.

For example, she arranged for an airport host to assist us with our arrival to and departure from the Rome airport, and she was simply amazing, whisking us through the airport and eliminating stress for our family.
