Japan Travel Review: Kyoto, Mount Fuji, Scenery, Nature, 17 Days

The trip was awesome. All aspects were well planned and without any glitches. All individual tour guides were great, always on time, and very willing to go above and beyond, recommending restaurants and even making reservations for us. Zicasso’s travel specialist was always easy to get a hold of if we had any questions and was very responsive. I would highly recommend them.

Greece Trip Review: Meteora, Chania, 13-Night Tour

We had a wonderful time on our trip, thanks to the planning and attention to detail by Zicasso’s travel agent and the travel company. Planning the trip with the travel agent was a breeze and she followed up daily to ensure that things were going as planned. We could not have asked for a better experience. I would recommend this travel company to anyone without any reservations (no pun intended).

The trip was a lot of fun. The trip to Capri was most enjoyable. When we ran into a problem — unrelated to trip planning — Zicasso’s travel specialist helped us get back on course.

France Tour Review: Versailles, Bike Ride, Picnic, Local Market, Local Cuisine, 6-Day Trip

Zicasso’s travel agent was fantastic from beginning to end! We had a brief call to understand our goals and our preferences, and she made a custom itinerary from there. She was available as needed and kept in touch frequently, including during our trip. We also had an app with all our schedule and needed documents, which was quite helpful and did not require an international phone plan or even Wi-Fi to use. We had an amazing time and would recommend them highly.

Italy Tour Review: Rome, Amalfi Coast, Taormina, Sicily, Sorrento, Capri, Mount Etna, Pizza-Making Class, Boat Ride, Wine, Local Cuisine, 9-Night Trip

We were absolutely thrilled with our first trip to Italy! This was a journey we had dreamed about for many years and we decided to make it happen as a special way to celebrate our anniversary this year.

The planning process with Zicasso was seamless, easy, and incredibly efficient. We were amazed by all of the thoughtfully planned activities, tours, and transfers throughout our trip. We visited Rome, the Amalfi Coast, and Taormina, Sicily—each destination offering something unique and unforgettable.

For this trip, we wanted a balance of adventure and relaxation, along with a few specific requests, and the team went above and beyond to make it happen. They truly bent over backwards to incorporate everything we envisioned and exceeded our expectations in every way.

We highly recommend traveling with Zicasso! They connected us with outstanding partners who truly elevated our experience and made our trip unforgettable. We honestly wouldn’t have changed a thing.

From the bottom of our hearts, Grazie mille!
