We had an amazing trip to Italy! I can't say enough wonderful things about our Zicasso travel agency. They took care of every detail of the trip, from the hotels to the transfers, excursions, restaurants, etc. All of the guesswork was removed from our trip so we could just enjoy the time we had in the country and maximize what we could do. When we go back to Italy, I will definitely be using them and will also recommend them to anyone who is traveling to Italy.
