Day 1
Sorrento – Arrive in Italy and Enjoy the Beauty at the Bay of Naples
The town of Sorrento clings to the rocky cliffs along the Bay of Naples standing 180 feet above sea level and dipping down to the shoreline that glows with colorful fishing boats wading in the azure water. Upon your arrival at Naples International Airport, your private transfer will escort you around the glistening bay and past the looming peak of the infamous volcano, Mount Vesuvius to reach the captivating streets of Sorrento. The gorgeous scenery of rugged rockface bordering the cobblestone streets and pastel-colored homes has attracted travelers since the 19th century when artists like Lord Byron and Charles Dickens wished to bask in the splendor of the bay. The depth of history emerges from the city walls, which date back to the Greek settlements made nearly 3,000 years ago with fortifications made during the Roman era and the Middle Ages.
Before exploring the town, you can relax in the comforts of your luxury accommodation while overlooking the shimmering waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The remainder of the day is at your leisure to embrace the ever-present aroma of the sea and the lingering scent of citrus from the bright lemon groves on the outskirts of Sorrento. In the evening, you can visit the neighboring town of Nerano, located halfway between Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast possessing the gorgeous Marina del Cantone, a beach with warm water gently lapping against the pebbles. At night, romance sparks beneath starlit sky as restaurants near the shoreline cook the local specialty, spaghetti alla Nerano, a dish consisting of spaghetti noodles, zucchini, and cheese.

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!

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.
