Italy Tour Review: Vatican, St Peter's Basilica, Colosseum,...

The trip was great. Zicasso's travel expert did a good job in putting our trip together. The tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Tour pick-ups and hotel/airport transfers were handled efficiently. We appreciated that the travel company was always available by text to handle any questions/concerns.

To have more time to review our final travel documents, it would have been helpful to have received them sooner than a week prior to our departure.
