Germany Family Vacations & Tours

Zicasso’s travel company put together a wonderful trip for us! Our 10-day trip included stays in Berlin, Dresden, and Munich, with stops in between in Potsdam and Nuremberg. We had great guides, great hotels, great recommendations, and great communication from them throughout the trip. I highly recommend working with them.

For our trip to Germany, Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team did an outstanding job at planning a trip that felt personalized just for us. From the beginning, the travel specialist understood exactly what we were looking for. Instead of scheduling tour after tour, they gave us the perfect balance of self-guided walks, private tours, with enough time to relax and experience several beer gardens and beautiful scenery. They really worked to give us a curated experience that fit within our budget. On the trip, if we had any logistical snags or questions, they were always available to assist us and make sure that we were on the right track.

On our eight-day trip, we did end up travelling a bit more than we expected, but that also allowed us to see a little bit of everything and, looking back, I wouldn't have given up any of the places that we were able to see.

There's not a lot that I would change about the trip. Maybe an extra day in Munich between the day trips that we took and one more day in Rüdesheim, where we could have taken it easier after the fantastic wine tour we received.

I would highly recommend this travel company to anyone looking to visit Germany.

Our group of 12 recently completed an unforgettable nine-day customized tour of Germany, staying in three cities and covering seven different cities, and we highly recommend this Zicasso travel company. From the initial planning stages to our final day, the trip was amazing, filled with all the adventures we asked for and much more.

What made the trip exceptional was the company owner accompanied us throughout the entire journey. Having him there as our personal tour director, translator, concierge, and new friend, ensured that everything ran like clockwork. The transfers were seamless, the private driver was excellent, and the local guides arranged for us in each city were incredibly knowledgeable and engaging.

If you are looking for a high-end, stress-free, and deeply personalized travel experience, look no further. Thank you for an incredible nine days!

Comments from fellow travelers:

"The company owner was very personable and knowledgeable, and each day was a great experience. What a wonderful trip.” Fondly, Teri K.

“The wine tour was our favorite as the wine was delicious and the winery owner most pleasant. His wine is so successful he has a vending machine of his wines on the road! There is no place in America that has this! Our tour guide, the owner of the travel company, was able to translate some of the conversation, which was most helpful. I highly recommend touring this winery and booking your travels through this company.” Jenny and Dennis W.

“We really enjoyed the miniature museum in Hamburg, especially the behind-the-scenes tour! The best hotel was in Berlin. All the guides were personable, knowledgeable, and good to answer questions. Thanks! We had a wonderful trip with you all!” Pam and Kevin S.

“We appreciated the company owner being there every step of the way. Coordinating the tour guides in the cities and helping to interpret when needed at the wine tasting.” Wendy and Larry A.

“Yes! We loved the hotel and dinner for our anniversary! Also appreciated the shift to the winery since the river cruise was cut short, and that he made the reservation for the brewery, with the hotel being so busy.” Dan and Kathy M.

“I had a wonderful time. Let’s do it again.” Robert K.

It was an amazing trip! We had support all along the way. Zicasso’s travel specialist communicated phone numbers, driver info, and everything we needed to have a trip that ran perfectly. Every driver and tour guide was on time, informative, and willing to make changes. It was a worry-free trip of a lifetime. I will be using Zicasso for our next vacation.

The Gold Standard for Luxury Travel Planning

I cannot recommend Zicasso's travel agency highly enough.

This was the very first time I have ever used a travel agency and, after this experience, I can honestly say I will never travel any other way.

From the very beginning, Zicasso's travel specialists and the entire travel company team took the time to truly get to know our family. They wanted to understand not only our travel style, but also our interests, priorities, and what we hoped this trip would become. They didn't simply book hotels and transportation. They thoughtfully designed an experience that felt completely tailored to us.

Our 11-day journey through Germany and Austria was nothing short of extraordinary. Every single day was carefully curated, with the perfect balance of adventure, exploration, relaxation, and flexibility. They even recommended restaurants based on our personal tastes, so every meal felt like another highlight of the trip.

What impressed me most was the incredible level of detail. Nothing was left to chance. We always knew exactly where to park for excursions, where to meet the rental car company for drop-off, what to expect each day, and every logistical detail was seamlessly handled before we ever arrived.

When we checked into our first hotel, we were greeted with the most beautiful welcome package. Waiting for us was a stunning coffee table book containing our complete itinerary, all of our tickets and reservations, adapters for European outlets, extra charging cords, and even a local phone to use throughout our travels. It immediately set the tone for the level of service we would experience for the next 11 days.

Even more impressive was the support throughout the trip. Weather changed. Energy levels changed. Plans evolved. Every time we needed local advice or simply wanted another recommendation, someone from their team was available to help us like a personal concierge. Every interaction was warm, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely caring.

As a mom, I'm usually the planner, navigator, travel agent, and activities director for every family vacation. I spend so much time coordinating everyone else's experience that I rarely get to fully enjoy the trip myself. This was the first vacation where I was able to simply be present with my family and experience everything alongside them instead of managing every detail behind the scenes. That gift is difficult to put into words and it made all the difference.

Their professionalism extended to every aspect of the experience. Billing was transparent and straightforward, communication was excellent, and there were never any surprises.

My only disappointment is that they don't operate in every corner of the world because I truly cannot imagine traveling without them again.

If you're considering a trip to Germany, Austria, or anywhere they serve, do yourself a favor and book with this travel company. It is, without question, one of the best investments we've ever made in a family vacation.

I recommend them without hesitation and would gladly speak with anyone who has questions about our experience.

We had a wonderful trip to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland! The people from the tour operator were very helpful in the planning phase of our trip. They were able to design a trip that included a variety of experiences that appealed to our different interests in each of the six cities we visited.

The accommodations they booked for us were all very clean and comfortable, and in good locations, within walking distance of sights or transportation to those sights. We mostly traveled by train once we arrived in Europe and they were helpful in booking train tickets for travel in Germany and Austria, and the Swiss rail and bus passes that we used for travel in Switzerland.

A representative kept in contact with us and was available to answer questions as needed. When one of the activities was canceled due to bad weather, they facilitated ticket refunds for us. We were very pleased with the planning and responsiveness of Zicasso's tour operator and would use them to plan a trip again.
