Switzerland Family Travel Review: Lucerne, Zurich, Matterhorn, Jungfraujoch, Giessbach Waterfalls, Aare Gorge, Chocolate Making, 13 Days

Wonderful trip. Excellent travel company that went above and beyond in every way to make it special for us. I have traveled all over the world with my wife and three boys, two of whom are adults now, and what separated Zicasso's travel specialist was how he handled unforeseen circumstances and how he helped us stay flexible. He and his partner were able to change the timing of certain attractions on a couple of days and were always available when we needed them.

On the final leg of our journey, we were supposed to stay at our hotel in Lucerne, but on arrival, were told we had no rooms due to the U.S.-Iran peace talks that were scheduled there. Our travel specialist was able to advocate for us and get us a full refund for the rooms, and have us moved to a similar-quality resort in Zurich, where we stayed in an expansive suite and had an excellent time. He was driving us himself that day, which was really helpful, as I am certain without his assistance it would have been a disaster for us because there were no comparable rooms left in Lucerne at other top resorts. He also gave us an impromptu tour of Lucerne prior to us getting to the hotel, at our request, even though it was not on the schedule. He was also a pleasure to be around and we all enjoyed his company. We will be recommending this travel company to friends for sure.

Our trip to Switzerland and Austria greatly exceeded our expectations! Zicasso’s travel specialist and the team planned every detail of our entire trip beautifully! I would very highly recommend him for travel planning anywhere in Europe. He is the reason we had the trip of a lifetime and we definitely plan to use the travel company for all of our future Europe travels. We could not be any happier with what they did for us!!

Switzerland, Italy Vacation Review: Grindelwald, Murren, Lauterbrunnen, Lucerne, Matterhorn, Lake Como, Rail Travel, 8-Day Trip

Our high expectations were exceeded at every turn. The itinerary was really nice and, once it was nailed down, the details were superb. It included where to be and when, who was going to be there, or what train schedule to use. Our first-class Swiss Travel Pass was perfect. Our four- and five-star hotel accommodations were incredible, and all of our reservations were pre-booked. Some were upgraded at no charge and all of them (four in eight days) were ready and waiting for us upon arrival. I highly recommend Zicasso and this travel company.

Switzerland, Austria Trip Review: Lucerne, Lauterbrunnen Valley, Mount First, Salzburg, Trummelbach Falls, Aare Gorge, Concert, Hiking, 2 Weeks

What a wonderful trip we had! Everything was planned out so very well. The two tour guides we had were exemplary and we enjoyed those days immensely. Most of the hotels were great, with terrific locations. The suggestions of activities offered for each place were spot-on. We especially loved the string quartet concert in Salzburg.

The communication of Zicasso's travel company was really good. I always felt they were right there to help when I needed it, which I definitely did one early morning. The train passes at the hotel in Lucerne had not been sent to them, but somebody got them to me in 20 minutes. Crisis averted.

We were not thrilled when we got to Vienna and found the Pride Festival was in full swing. It really made getting around the city a challenge. If I’d known that, I probably would’ve stayed an extra day in another city to avoid that.

Thanks for all you did to make this trip for our family so memorable.

We loved all the daily excursions to the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and Grindelwald, and our stay in Grindelwald, with trips to Interlaken and Jungfrau. We loved all the hotel stays. It was very well organized by Zicasso's travel company. Thanks for the transportation arrangements throughout and the instructions.
