Luxury Europe Tours & Vacations

Zicasso's travel specialist was absolutely amazing to work with.

They answered every question in a very timely fashion, putting my mind at ease.

They created the perfect itinerary for us.

Everything on the itinerary worked out flawlessly.

I absolutely would recommend Zicasso to anyone planning a trip to Europe.

The team worked tirelessly to provide an unforgettable trip of a lifetime for my family.

In all respects, a well-planned and well-executed trip to London and Rome. The guides were exceptional in knowledge, kindness, and sense of humor. The best restaurant recommendation was the one in London.

It was seamless.

Having used Zicasso previously, I solicited their help in planning a 10-day trip to Vienna and Prague over Christmas and New Year’s, with short notice. Parameters included a full experience, Christmas markets, and an exposure to culture, churches, and museums. Zicasso’s travel agent, based in Slovenia, was helpful, responsive, and timely in her communications, including when issues and concerns arose. The overall experience was excellent, including the pre-arranged tours. The price point was high, especially when considering the marginal cost for a third person, but we were fully satisfied with our experience.

Zicasso’s travel company was great. Invariably, there are always hiccups on every trip, but the travel company worked very hard to rectify any issues. The itinerary they put together was perfect for our family and met everyone’s needs. The only thing I would recommend for future clients is that the timelines were pretty tight, so we were not always able to experience each place as much as we would have liked because transit times ended up being longer than what was listed in the itinerary.

For travelers, something to keep in mind when traveling in Switzerland in the winter is the shortened daylight hours and many shops and restaurants being closed throughout the holiday season.

One of the best decisions we made was to buy first-class rail passes, as the second-class cars were very busy, which would have been especially difficult on days when we were shuttling luggage from one city to the next. I would also recommend pre-booking seats on trains from Zermatt to Zurich after New Year’s, as we had to sit in a stairwell because there were no seats left.

The trip was exactly what we wished for this past Christmas. We had all our grown children together for Christmas for the first time in years.

We started the trip in Vienna, where we took a walking tour of the city and saw its wonderful Christmas markets, Schönbrunn Palace, the Lipizzaner stallions, and learned how to best make apple strudel. From there, we went to Filzmoos, where we took a sleigh ride up the mountain for a traditional Austrian dinner. We also spent Christmas Day up on Kitzsteinhorn. Then we went on to Salzburg, where we took a city tour and enjoyed the late Christmas market opportunities. From there, we drove to Prague to spend our New Year’s.

Zicasso’s travel company gave us just what we wanted. And the most important component of the trip was the people we met along the way. The drivers and the tour guides were all fabulous. Many seemed like old friends by the time our trip was over. Please send our thanks to all those involved in making our trip one we will never forget.
