Detailed Description

Your 7-day tour will explore the best of the Amalfi Coast has to offer as it will immerse you in the warm colors of a classically painted landscape that is world-renowned. The scent of lemons will blossom from scattered orchards, and majolica domes will glint in the Mediterranean sunlight. Stairways and alleys will crisscross between the steep ridges and vineyards that texture the mountains. Discovering the Amalfi Coast will blend the captivating treasures of pebbled beaches and luxurious sunbeds with fascinating histories of Greek, Roman, Norman, French, and Spanish conquerors that are perfect for lovers of history, sunbathing, cuisine, and hiking.

Your spectacular tour of the Amalfi Coast will begin with your arrival at Naples International Airport, where your private transfer will collect and escort you to Ravello for three nights. The alluring town will feature medieval architecture and spectacular views that overlook the entirety of the Amalfi Coast. Using the charming town as a base, you can explore all the splendor of the shoreline at your preferred pace with a private driver that will take you between Positano in the West and Vietri sul Mare in the East. The islands of Capri and Ischia will provide different perspectives of the southern coast, featuring Roman villas, ancient artwork, and charming, elegant cafés. The Blue Grotto will shimmer with beautiful lights on Capri, and the dramatic Aragonese Castle highlights the layers of complex history on the underrated island of Ischia.

You will then transfer to the lovely city of Sorrento on the Bay of Naples for three nights, where you will enjoy the delights of the Campagna region and the city known as the Gateway to the Amalfi Coast. The classic city will combine ancient streets and modern luxuries that are nestled between the Mediterranean landscape. This will give you an opportunity to explore the ancient world of Rome with a guided tour of Pompeii. You will also witness the impressive Greek design of the preserved temples at Paestum and may delve into the popular flavors of wine along the edges of Mount Vesuvius. Finally, you will learn to make pizza with a private chef and will commemorate your time along the Bay of Naples by celebrating the special flavors that are connected to the region and the coastline by shining a spotlight on the areas that make the Amalfi Coast one of a kind.

Italy Tour Review: Cinque Terre, Positano, 15-Day Trip

The trip was very well planned by Zicasso's travel company and all of the stops and pick-up points, cars, trains, boats, etc., were there and reliable. We had a fantastic time.

Italy Trip Review: Amalfi Coast, Capri, Naples, Rome, Pompeii,...

I am writing to express my immense gratitude to the entire team at Zicasso’s travel partner for curating the most spectacular trip to Italy for my family. From start to finish, the level of service was beyond impeccable and truly set a new standard for what we consider luxury travel.

The planning process was an absolute pleasure. Communication was one of their greatest strengths; our contact was consistently available and responses to our questions were nearly instantaneous. This travel company made us feel like we were their only clients. They took the time to understand the different ages and interests within our family, and built a bespoke itinerary that perfectly balanced history, leisure, and unique local experiences.

This was genuine white-glove service in every sense of the word. From the moment we landed, every detail was flawlessly executed. Private drivers were waiting for us, guides were engaging and knowledgeable, and our accommodations were magnificent. We never once had to worry about a single logistic, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy our time together.

If you are looking for a travel partner that offers unparalleled personalized service and flawless execution for a trip to Italy, look no further. Thank you for giving our family memories we will cherish forever.

Italy Travel Review: Rome, Ravello, Amalfi Coast, Positano,...

My husband and I were thrilled with our recent trip to Italy that Zicasso’s travel designer put together. We began by attending a family friend’s wedding, held in Ravello, on the Amalfi Coast. Due to my husband’s mobility issues, we were met by a driver and headed to the Amalfi Coast. The driver was first class and the trip was very comfortable.

After the wedding festivities, we were able to have the most wonderful experiences visiting the towns of Amalfi and Positano, and our base for one week was in beautiful Sorrento. We attended a cooking class and enjoyed eating what we prepared. We had in-depth learning opportunities in Naples and Sorrento. Every guide we had spoke excellent English and was so knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed Pompeii! A super-fun day was had on the small group tour of Capri. The crew was fantastic and very accommodating in consideration of my husband’s mobility issues.

From beginning to end everything went well. The use of a messaging app was great for making sure everyone was on the same page.

The only thing that was a disappointment was the pizza in Naples. It wasn’t the best.

The hotel in Sorrento was phenomenal - it couldn’t have been better. The view of Mt. Vesuvius from our balcony helped create memories we will have forever. The hotel in Rome was also very nice. It was right in the middle of the main attractions.

We are very happy with our experience with this travel company and would not hesitate to recommend it!

Italy Family Trip Review: Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples,...

Our trip was a family one, two grandparents over 70, two parents and one adult son, one teenage girl, and one younger girl, 12. Three of us had been to Italy while the others had not. We wanted as complete a trip as we could in 14 days, so we included all the traditional places, Venice, Florence, Rome, and Naples/Pompeii. We spent three days in each and one day in Ferrara. While it was a lot for 14 days, we did not feel rushed.

What I like about Zicasso is they give you options to pick the best fit for your trip—we worked with two other agencies before we picked Zicasso’s travel partner. This travel partner took the time to understand our needs: three hotel rooms, all different in sizes, and tours and timing. Very important was the degree of coordination before the trip with the travel agent; she was available and knowledgeable, and took the time to adjust our needs. One of the best things about this travel partner was they used a van for all the travel, except from Rome to Naples. This was a much better option than the train for seven people and baggage.

During the trip, we were met on time by every driver and every guide. The hotels were excellent and the whole trip went well. When we had a delay on the train, the driver knew it and adjusted our pick-up.

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.
