I booked this trip for my mom's 70th birthday last year and, almost a year later, we are still missing Italy! Zicasso’s travel specialist and the team were amazing and really got us booked with all the things we wanted to see and do! She is a great communicator and answered all our questions, and made us feel so comfortable with the process and trip, and we felt well-prepared!

Italy Trip Review: Capri, Amalfi Coast, Rome, Private Boat Tour, E-Bike Experience, Appian Way, Catacombs, History, 17 Days

We had an amazing family trip to Italy and Zicasso’s travel company played a huge role in making it such a success. From the start, communication was quick and easy, and our travel specialist provided excellent recommendations and advice throughout the planning process. She was incredibly responsive and flexible when we added another traveler and made adjustments to our itinerary.

Every detail was handled seamlessly. Transportation was always on time, our guides were knowledgeable and engaging, and all tours ran smoothly. Even the semi-private tours had very small groups, which made for a much more personalized experience.

Customer service during the trip was outstanding, with fast responses whenever we had questions. We would absolutely recommend the travel company and would gladly use them for a future trip to Italy.

Greece Travel Review: Santorini, Crete, Acropolis, Catamaran Tour, Private Acropolis Experience, 9 Days

We had a wonderful family trip to Greece, planned by Zicasso’s travel company! With us having two families with children ages nine to 15, we were not easy to plan for, but our travel planner did an excellent job mixing private tours, free time, and adventures. She arranged all our transportation, with private, luxury vans/buses, which saved us time and stress, and allowed us to get to the next fun adventure quicker. We always felt taken care of and knew we could text our planner if needed. T

he hotel and tour recommendations were spot-on. This is one of the first family vacations where I could truly relax and know that everything was handled. Highly recommend!
