We took an unusual, self-guided trip from Munich to Norderney and back, tracing our family roots. It was a wonderful time! The accommodations arranged by Zicasso's travel agency were excellent. We had good communication with our agent throughout. He added personal transportation to and from the Munich airport. Overall, we found Germany to be a wonderful country and the agency to be a good company to deal with.

From the moment we landed in Germany to the moment we left, the trip was incredibly well planned and tailored specifically to what we were interested in, but with the expert knowledge of Zicasso's travel agent and our tour operator to guide us toward our best possible experience.
DO IAfter receiving the initial itinerary proposal from him, we had a helpful phone conversation to talk about our family "must-do's." The itinerary was adjusted accordingly and was perfect. Every day had a memorable experience and everything went smoothly!
I cannot recommend this tour company any higher. If you are considering working with our travel agent and his colleague, do it. I am already trying to determine when we can return to Germany and work with them to plan our Germany vacation (part two)!

It was a very good trip. It was pretty well planned, with great hotels and scenery, and we loved the train trips. A suggestive comment would be to steer the old folks (like us) away from the hotel; it seemed too "young" for my crowd.

We had a fantastic trip to Germany and Austria. Zicasso's travel partner arranged the trip for us and everything went perfectly. I can't speak highly enough of her and her skills at arranging a perfect vacation for our family of four. She was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions, and gave good advice on what to see and concentrate on in Germany. I enthusiastically recommend this agency to anyone interested in touring Europe.
