Southern Italy Itineraries & Tours

The heel of the famous boot-shaped country, Southern Italy languidly beats according to its own leisurely rhythm. There’s an old-world charm to this region, one that cherishes a slower pace of life. Visit the birthplace of the modern pizza as well as the margherita pizza in Naples, the latter a favorite of Queen Margherita of Savoy as it evokes the green, white and red of the Italian flag.

Italy Travel Review: Sicily, Taormina, Valley of the Temples, 5-Day Trip

Aside from the delay because of the time change, working with Zicasso’s travel specialist was great. She took care of all arrangements in Sicily once our decisions were made. She confirmed with every hotel, driver, and guide, making sure our travel was effortless.

The guides were great, adding so much historical information to our attractions. Our drivers were friendly, providing us with clean, comfortable vehicles, safe driving, and interesting conversation about modern life in Italy. Our hotels were high-end, in city centers, with amazing breakfast buffets and professional, kind staff.

We used a reputable tour group for our first week of mainland Italy travel, but our experience with this travel specialist far surpassed the tour group experience and our expectations. I would not hesitate to use her again for any travel plans in Italy. She checked in with us pre-, mid-, and post-travel. There wasn’t one hiccup with the plans she made for us.

Zicasso’s travel company helped us plan a trip that exceeded our expectations. From the hotels to the guides to the scheduling of events, things could not have gone smoother. We visited all the sites and did all the things we wanted to do, and still had free time to roam on our own. This team is top-notch and we highly recommend them.

Italy Tour Review: Rome, Florence, Venice, Private Tours, 12 Nights

Our recent trip to Rome, Florence, and Venice, planned by Zicasso’s travel specialist and her team, was nothing short of exceptional. Every detail was handled with care, precision, and an obvious commitment to excellence. The hotels were truly top rate, perfectly located, and impeccably chosen to enhance the experience of each city. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate, adding depth and context that made each destination come alive.

What truly set this trip apart was the level of service. From seamless transfers to on-the-ground assistance, everything felt effortless. The recommendations and tips provided along the way were incredibly useful and allowed us to experience each city with confidence and ease. The assistants who helped guide us through logistics and navigation were attentive, professional, and reassuring, making the entire journey feel like true white-glove service from start to finish.

The travel specialist and her team exceeded every expectation. Their planning, responsiveness, and attention to detail transformed an already incredible itinerary into an unforgettable experience. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a flawlessly executed, high-end travel experience.
