The entire trip was thoughtfully planned for us and we had an amazing time. It was just the right balance of touring and learning, and also relaxing in the beauty of the Italian countryside. The tour guides were top-notch notch and the hotel selections were perfect for us. When we had a question or problem or couldn't locate our tour guide, they were quick to respond to my calls or text messages. This is my second time using Zicasso and I will be using them in the future!!

The trip was wonderful. All of the transitions from place to place were very smooth. Each tour guide and driver was very welcoming and informative. We had two children with us and we felt safe and comfortable at all times.
One area to mention is that there were times we didn't need a guide to assist us in transferring from place to place. For example, there was a guide who was hired to walk us across the street from the Venice train station to a water taxi. We could have done this on our own and would have preferred not to have to pay for something like that.
I would highly recommend (and have already) Zicasso!

The trip was amazing and everything went according to plan (aside from the airline travel portion not included in this itinerary). Zicasso's travel agency did a fantastic job of setting up hotels that made sense and were at a level that we felt safe and clean.
The tour guides they used were fantastic and the driver agencies they used were also top-notch, with nice vehicles and drivers who had at least basic English to help make sure we were going the same place.
I would say the travel agency did exactly what a good travel company does. They prepared me for the trip and then all I had to do was follow the program and everything went exactly as planned. Knowing they were there to back me up was a big bonus, but having everything go according to plan was where they truly did an amazing job.
