Austria, Switzerland Travel Review: People, Culture, History, Scenery, Private Transport/Guides, 9 Nights

The recommended excursions and private guides that accompanied them were excellent. Excellent organizational planning and travel logistics by Zicasso's travel company. Destination book is an extremely valuable tool for organizing, managing, and storing travel docs, tickets, passes, map directions, and contact information. It really made things easy!

The hotel selections were very good and well located. We would have preferred a slightly larger room in Vienna and Luzern; however, they were clean and efficient, with excellent staff. The dinner suggestions that we did follow were very good.

Our travel specialist was great to work with, had it dialed in. We look forward to working with the travel companty's team for our next trip to northern Europe.

Thank you.

Switzerland, Austria, Germany Travel Review: 2 Weeks

They did a job from start to finish. During the brainstorming phase, they had great suggestions and listened carefully to what we were looking for on this trip. Once we got into the execution phase, we were given a 30+ page itinerary for a two-week trip, which was well thought out, organized, and incredibly helpful. Their work was exemplary and made our trip smooth and stress-free. The level of attention to detail was extraordinary, and we are very detail-oriented travelers, which is not always easy for planners, but they responded promptly and in detail to all of our questions.

We plan on using them again next year

Switzerland Anniversary Tour Review: Lauterbrunnen Valley, Grindelwald, E-Biking, Hiking, 9 Nights

Zicasso's travel specialist created an amazing trip to Switzerland for our anniversary! She listened to our desire to cover a large swath of Switzerland in nine days, which was not easy, and managed to give us great options and alternate options should the weather change. She picked the perfect hotels for us (boutique with great service) and made sure we had early check-in when needed.

Everything went off without a hitch. We were so appreciative that she was so responsive while we were in the country; no matter how small the questions were, she was quick to answer. I would highly recommend her. Thank you for a lovely trip!

Switzerland Vacation Review: Lucerne, 8 Nights

The trip was excellent. Zicasso’s travel specialist explained things to us clearly, provided alternative choices, and made good recommendations that matched what we were looking for in terms of dining and limited mobility. The dinner reservations helped secure us seating with great river views in Lucerne.

On the one rainy day, the alternative recommendations were fairly limited and one made no sense. When we looked into the cave tour suggestion and read the description, it said that during rainstorms it could be dangerous, with rapidly running water washing people off the narrow cave paths.

Switzerland Tour Review: St. Moritz, Zermatt, Interlaken, Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, Wengen, Lucerne, Lake Oeschinensee, Stoos Ridge, Mount Pilatus, Gornergrat Railway, Hiking, Biking, 2-Week Trip

This was my first time working with Zicasso’s travel company, which I found through Zicasso for a two-week trip to Switzerland. I spent time upfront with the travel specialist designing a custom itinerary focused on hiking the Alps. We stayed in four authentic mountain villages and alpine towns: St. Moritz, Zermatt, the Lake Interlaken area (with day trips to Lauterbrunnen, Mürren, and Wengen), and Lake Lucerne.

Our trip featured some truly unforgettable, world-class hikes and excursions, including Lake Oeschinensee, the Stoos Ridge trail, the Zermatt 5 Lakes walk, Mount Pilatus, and the Gornergrat Railway, with its breathtaking views overlooking the Matterhorn.

Navigating these high-elevation destinations required complex daily logistics, seamlessly combining trains, buses, funiculars, cogwheels, and chairlifts all in a single day. The travel company’s travel app made it all effortless, outlining every day in meticulous detail and storing all transportation documents in one place (it even works offline without Wi-Fi or 5G).

Furthermore, the travel company was available 24/7 via WhatsApp. I needed their assistance three times during the trip and their follow-up was prompt, usually within minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend the travel company for your European vacation; we had a fantastic experience and I truly could not have managed the trip without their expert knowledge and guidance.
