Italy Itineraries in 12 Days

Cinque Terre, Siena, and Venice. Our trip planner did an amazing job coordinating and arranging travel between each town and planning this trip. She found great excursions and tours that gave us a deeper appreciation for the country's vast history and culture. She was amazing at communicating with me to try and make every part of this trip special. When a storm rolled in and weather became a factor of us potentially not being able to hike around Cinque Terre with our private guide we let our trip planner know and she was able to talk with the company and reschedule our privately guided hike for the next day. The service and quality this company gives is exceptional and I would recommend to my friends and family.

detail was covered and there was not a single "hic cup."  Working with our travel consultant grew from agent/client to friends as she endured delays on my part.  Our travel consultant made sure the details were double-checked and confirmed.  The Hotels were exactly what we asked for!  I LOVED the Hotel in Venice! Although we covered a lot of areas in 12 days, we were never overwhelmed by activities (we even had time for a couple of short naps).  The visit to the Saffron Farm was extraordinary; the saffron ravioli was MY favorite meal.  Our guide in Milan was SO knowledgeable and personable, it felt like a day with a friend.  The hotel at Lake Como had the most breathtaking view of the Lake.  Our guide at Lake Como, again, she was very knowledgeable and personable.  A VERY special dinner was arranged for us in Bellagio, where we met "Ice" the star of the Netflix Series "Dogs" - the episode about Lake Como! The entire family embraced us as we shared stories about each others dogs - all yellow Labradors.  The wineries we visited were beyond compare.  We found five truffles with the incredible Truffle Hunting Master and his13 year old dog.  They gave us a truffle!  We had it shaved over our dinner that night.  We had THE best drivers; with a couple of favorites!  We ended our trip back in Venice at the hotel and were greeted like family. Why do I give the above details?  Because every request I made was arranged to perfection because of the attentive, personable care and consideration of our travel consultants from the Florence, Italy office!  It was a trip of a lifetime and it could not have been any better.  AMAZING!Cio'a, Cio'aP.S.  I've already referred two friends to Zicasso.

From our first contact to a travel specialist to subsequent interactions with our travel planner, our service was personalized, accurate and thoughtful. They carefully listened to our ideas and goals for the trip and then used their expertise to plan an itinerary that we would not have been able to accomplish through random internet searches. We travelled for 12 days. Every transportation connection and tour happened as planned with no confusion. We were able to experience "behind the scenes" activities that made our trip totally unique from the Italy vacations described by others. Our guides were very knowledgeable and personable. Each time it was time to go, we felt we were leaving behind a new friend. This travel team arranged for us to have a portable WIFI hotspot and this added greatly to our ability to navigate, find restaurants and keep in touch. 

handcraft my recent trip to Italy. Although there were many components to the trip, everything worked out like clockwork! I cannot rate them highly enough. Our travel specialist was a joy to work with.

bespoke trip this company put together for my wife and I. Everything from the transportation to the tour guides was perfectly planned and executed. I have traveled Western Europe planning my own trips over the years and this trip was leaps and bounds from what I could have put together.The company’s contacts and network is well worth connecting with them. We were able to truly relax on our vacation and not think about what tickets we needed for the next day or follow up on appointments as it was all taken care of ahead of time. We got our morning status check in from the company which was nice to ensure we had no questions about the day and our evening check in to ensure everything went to plan. I have already recommended this company to my family when I returned to the United States.  

travel specialist of the travel company. Every detail was planned exquisitely providing by husband and I with a stress free vacation. Our travel specialist communicated with us throughout our trip which was very comforting considering we were in a foreign country where we did not fluently speak the language. All of our tours, tour guides, hotels, meals, and transportation were excellent. I will be referring anyone traveling to Italy to this travel company! Our travel specialist also planned a few days for us in Switzerland and France so his expertise goes beyond Italy. 

Japan, we're used to having Japanese tours that only show what everyone knows and touching only the surface of each destination. But with this travel team, almost every tour guide we had was very knowledgable about his or her own town, city, or country, and we felt like we learned a lot about each place in depth.  That in turn gives us a connection to the place we're visiting and makes us appreciate where we are. Like any trip, there were a few mistakes or miscommunication, but this travel team dealt with the issues that arose in a very timely and reliable manner - we can't ask for more. 

to plan our 12 day vacation to Italy and Croatia.  At all stages, the planning for the trip was first rate and follow-on execution lived up to that same standard.  The team listened to our requests and customized a trip that was specific to our desires.  At the same time, the travel company provided enough guidance to make the planning process relatively painless.  Our Italian contact and Croatian contact were outstanding and tended to our needs before and during our trip.  Overall, I couldn't have asked for anything more.

there for 12 days, including stops in Rome, Siena, Cinque Terre, and Venice.First our trip - it was so, so fantastic. Italy is a beautiful place. We loved each of the places we visited, and each was different than the last so the entire trip felt fresh.The travel company - they were excellent. I specifically worked with our trip planner in the planning phase, and she was really helpful. She was responsive, respectful, and very helpful throughout the process. All the events/restaurants/hotels recommended were great. Our travel specialist was our contact while in Italy, and he was great as well. Because the planning was all so smooth we didn't need to speak with the travel specialist much - but when we did he was very helpful. I would absolutely recommend the travel company to a friend.

including Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast.  The trip was absolutely wonderful and without any delays. The service that the travel company provided was 5 star.  All drivers and guides were exceptional and always very prompt and courteous.  Our accommodations were fantastic and in great locations.  I can't say enough good things to say about the trip that they provided for us.  We didn't have to make any decisions once we arrived.  Every last detail was provided.  The best trip of our family's lifetime and we have been to many countries. All of this was due to the travel company. 

that we could have imagined.  My travel specialist and his team at the travel company are total professionals and planned a trip, tours, accommodations that were perfect for our small group of 4 that was the first trip to Italy for all of us.

was organized by our travel consultant and the travel company.  His recommendations for hotels, excursions, tours, etc. were right on target with the preferences of our traveling group of 2 couples.  His hotel recommendations were fantastic in Florence, Positano, and Rome.......all beautiful and centrally located.  His recommendation regarding an agriturismo near San Gimignano was also brilliant and a perfect change of pace from all our other "hotels".  All of the tour companies we contracted with led us to personable, highly skilled, and knowledgeable tour guides.  His advice about restaurants, shopping, prioritizing tours/activities and laying out a rational trip itinerary, was consistently excellent and accurate.  One of the greatest benefits of dealing with our travel consultant and the travel company was how quickly responsive they were, whether by email or by phone.  Almost uncanny....regardless of time or day, he responded very promptly and always in an informed, reassuring, and thoughtful way.  It was truly a pleasure dealing with him and the manager at the travel company and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to rebook a trip with them or recommend them to others.
