Detailed Description

Southern Italy glistens like a gem with towns overlooking the wondrous colors of the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean. Whitewashed walls glint in the sunlight along ancient streets and citrus-scented lemon groves bloom around the terraced gardens of the Amalfi Coast. Your flight lands at Bari Karol Wojtyla Airport in Puglia. Your private transfer greets you upon your arrival and escorts you to a gorgeous resort-style accommodation in the town of Fasano. Relish the remaining day at your leisure amongst the cobbled lanes ascending the hillside for views of the coastline. For a welcoming treat, you can sample a local delicacy of pistachio ice cream drizzled with decadent olive oil.

The following morning, your guide greets you at the hotel and escorts you to Alberobello to view the famous trulli, fairytale-like homes decorating the towns and countryside. Continue to the towns of Cisternino and Locorotondo to enjoy the serene ambiance before partaking in a tour of an organic winery. Delight in the varied flavors and aromas of olive oil with a private tour of a local mill. Continue in the afternoon to Polignano a Mare to enjoy the city on the cliff known for its stunning coastal cliff views and enticing seafood.

Venture to the pearlescent town of Ostuni to wander along the hilly streets before exploring baroque Lecce. Your private chef greets you at the end of the tour and leads you on a private cooking class offering insight into the spirit of Puglian cuisine. Then, your private transfer greets you at the hotel after breakfast and escorts you to Ravello, a marvelous town located on the cliffs above the Amalfi Coast. En route, you stop in the fabled city of Matera, to wander along the medieval streets and traverse the ancient caves in which locals lived up until the 1960s.

You have a fabulous tour along the Amalfi Coast, exploring the stunning towns, historical architecture, and breathtaking views overlooking the water. Bask on the serene beaches or partake in a tour of the Emerald Grotto before returning to Ravello for the evening. Take the ferry to the island of Capri to relish the beauty of the renowned scenery at your leisure. Wander along the gardens of former Roman emperors, and bask in the panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea.

Italy Trip Review: Rome, Amalfi, Positano, 12 Days

The trip Zicasso's travel specialist arranged for us exceeded all our expectations. It was absolutely wonderful; not a single detail was overlooked. The hotels were excellent, the tours were great, and the drivers were always on time. I totally recommend Zicasso and the agency, and will undoubtedly use them for future travel plans.

Italy Travel Review: Lake Como, Ostuni, Private Boat Tour,...

Zicasso's travel designer did a terrific job. We had the initial phone consult, after which she delivered a first draft of the itinerary. From there, she helped guide us through a few revisions until we got the details smoothed out. We are experienced travelers and can appreciate a well-constructed trip, and that's what our experience with our agent reflected.

One crucial thing is that all the drivers who are engaged to move you around are prompt. Every one of them was right on time and friendly and helpful to boot. It was much appreciated.

To sum up our experience, I would do it all again with Zicasso and the agency and our agent. Our trip to Italy in the late summer of 2025 was something we will not soon forget!

Italy Tour Review: Vatican, Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pompeii,...

Zicasso's travel agency far exceeded our expectations. We had our five-year-old and 11-year-old children with us, so the tour guides and walking needed to be kid-friendly.

Our hotel in Rome was wonderful, the location was perfect, and they had good A/C and a breakfast buffet. There were plenty of great restaurants within easy walking distance, as well as the Vatican.

Our tour guide for the Colosseum and Roman Forum was great. Pompeii was amazing. Our tour guide was basically a celebrity down there and knew exactly how to take us around the ruins without ever waiting.

Tuscany was our favorite by far. We did a cheese-making experience and lunch that was super-cool. The kids got to play with the farm animals and the owners were so attentive and interesting. We did a cooking class with a chef that was the kids' favorite thing on the entire trip. I would make a point to book this experience; the kids still talk about it and wear the aprons around the house. The resort in Tuscany was nice. We had our own private pool, plus the resort pool, and could easily walk to a small local town with some great food.

Venice was good, but probably our least favorite on the trip. You have to walk a ton, which was difficult for the kids, but it's still worth experiencing.

We travel a bunch and I would highly recommend using Zicasso's travel partner.

This was the best trip ever!!! I am so grateful Zicasso introduced us to our tour operator. This team was amazing! They set up a call to learn more about us and jumped into action. Within a short time, they came back to us with a presentation on ideas, with recommendations. There is no chance our trip would have been half as good without them. They even had a text group on standby while we were here in case we needed anything.
