Day 1
Luscious London
History is hidden around every corner of London, whispering with the romances of William Shakespeare across cobblestone streets and the décor of Victorian charm winding along the walkways of Kensington Gardens. One of our luxury Europe travel agents will arrange for a private transfer to meet you at the airport and escort you to your centrally located hotel. The streets are vibrant with cosmopolitan life.
In the afternoon people frequent the local antique pub jovially discussing the day. People stroll along St. Pancras Station passing the 30-foot sculpture of an embracing couple staring into each other’s eyes. Grab your partner’s hand and step out for a stroll on Kynance Mews, an area built around a paved yard or court behind the large city houses, many dating back to the 17th century. The lane takes you through a touch of the cityscape surrounded by the wonderful seclusion.

We absolutely loved our England adventure and already wish we could go back. It was a perfect balance of English countryside, history, and culture.
All our hotels were wonderful. The lodge in Broadway was such an extraordinary place to stay—the property was so historic, but the rooms and amenities were modern. We loved the pool and gym, and delicious food/drink they offered. We also took advantage of the playground down the street every evening after dinner—it had a zipline and a beautiful vista. The lodge at Warwick was also amazing, such a fun place to stay for families with young kids. We also really enjoyed our hotel in London. The location was ideal as we could walk to restaurants and we had a tube station right there.
Our drivers were also very professional and friendly, and made the transfers between locations so simple and stress-free for us. Honestly we have nothing but good things to say about every moment of this vacation, from the afternoon tea to the "Harry Potter" studio tour.

We were connected with an amazing travel agent at Zicasso's travel company for our honeymoon in France. Our agent planned the perfect trip for us after our initial phone call. She booked small and private tours for us that were amazing experiences. She was available 24/7 while we were in France and was able to assist immediately when we had train delays and a canceled dinner reservation. We would absolutely book with this travel company again.

Zicasso's travel specialists were fantastic to work with. They paid attention to every detail of our trip. One of our agents worked with us through several drafts of the Itinerary as we fine-tuned our plans and finalized hotels. She then turned us over to a colleague, who helped finalize the details and coordinated our dinner reservations. Both were very responsive.
Also, thanks to our driver, who was with us throughout the trip and helped make it special! Our driver was very flexible in the scheduling and helped us fine tune our activities and schedule.
We definitely recommend this travel company if you plan to visit Switzerland.
