Italy, Greece Travel Review: Como, Bellagio, Wine Tour,...

The overall trip was great. The weather was terrific and the countries we visited had so much to see. Zicasso's tour company did a good job of balancing relaxation with fun. Each of the guides we had was so pleasant and shared so much information with us. They were very attentive to our needs.

Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia Tour Review: Auschwitz,...

Zicasso's travel specialists and their partners in Poland and the Baltics did a great job organizing our trip.

Most of the guides were very professional and knowledgeable. The drivers were excellent, especially the one we had for the last five days of our trip. The hotels and services were very good.

There were a few small blips in the schedule, but the flexibility of all the guides and drivers was very helpful. The travel company kept in touch on and off during the trip to check in to see how everything was going. I gave some fairly detailed feedback.

Poland Trip Review: Wroclaw, Wadowice, Salt Mines, Krakow,...

We had a very good pre-trip dynamic with Zicasso's tour agency: positive, constructive, genuine, and open. Very responsive. Very good teamwork. Very efficient.

After the experience, you could tell they truly listened to how we like to travel in terms of everything: pacing, hotels, guides, activities, and quality of local providers.

They know the area and also hold a good/solid network of providers in the area.

There was an "open line of communication with them the whole time through a simple solution (WhatsApp chat).

Their recommendations and reservations were totally on target (food). The guides were very professional. We wanted to take advantage of every day and they made us go to bed really tired (which is a good thing).
