Detailed Description

Europe maintains its connection to its history, emblematic in both charm and decadence. Alpine villages continue to charm visitors. Medieval Italian towns tell countless stories by virtue of surviving the centuries. Cathedrals contain innumerable priceless artworks and certain small alleyways contain as many of the city’s artifacts as the nearby museum. This 9-day highlights of Europe vacation tour package takes you to England, France, Switzerland, and Italy: each country offering a unique view of culture, cuisine, and antiquity.

Customized for 2020, your Europe vacation begins with your arrival in London. The city is a whirlwind of energy crossing the River Thames. On the third day you are taken to the Railway station for your sensational ride on the Chunnel train, taking you underneath the Channel to Paris. The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy the tremendous City of Light. Follow your guide through the city to see the famous landmarks of the city, including the Champs-Elysees and the Opera house.

You can also venture inside the Louvre to witness the grand collection of the world heritage. You step aboard your transfer on day five and make your way through the French countryside, north towards the Swiss Alps. Lucerne welcomes you with quiet beauty sitting beneath the rugged summits of the surrounding mountains. Visit the tranquil Lion Monument and enjoy a serene picturesque stroll through Old Town. Make your way up to Mount Pilatus by cable car or indulge in a morning search for chocolate.

Pass through the Italian Lake District to the picture perfect town of Bergamo. Relax around the medieval streets of the hillside city connected by a funicular. The following day you venture deeper into Italy, arriving in the magnificent city of Venice. Take a private water-taxi around the Grand Canal and witness the city’s iconic images. Leave the city behind for Florence, a truly enchanting Renaissance city surrounded by the rolling hills of Tuscany.

Continue to Rome, where all the roads eventually lead. A full day in the Eternal City takes you around the treasured ruins, including the Colosseum. Follow your guide through the Vatican Museum to witness the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Square, and the Basilica. The following day you will have a private transfer to the airport to make your flight home, but you will carry the variety of wonders from your European exploration home with you.

Italy Tour Review: Wine Tour, Cooking Classes, Local Cuisine,...

Zicasso’s travel company was wonderful in planning our trip on short notice and in line with our requests and preferences. Their suggestions of what to do and where to stay were perfect. And when we accidentally got off on the wrong island, the travel company quickly got us new ferry tickets to get to the right place. It was all seamless.

Italy Honeymoon Review: Rome, Sorrento, Cooking Class, Private...

This trip was the greatest week of our lives! Everything planned was better than I could have imagined. The private drivers being coordinated behind the scenes made the trip so easy and removed all the stress of trying to navigate a new country. Every driver and our tour guide was so nice and I feel like we made friends with all of them.

My favorite part of the trip was definitely the cooking classes and that every tour was private and intimate for my wife and I. The connections Zicasso’s travel agent hooked us up with made the trip the most memorable experience. Our travel agent and the travel company took special care of all the tiny details of the trip; our hotel knew it was my birthday and had a special surprise for me! I’m beyond thankful for the perfect honeymoon they provided my wife and I.

England Vacation Review: London, Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon,...

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.

France Honeymoon Review: Paris, Loire Valley, Saint-Emilion,...

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.
