Italy Vacation Review: E-bike Tour, Kayaking, 10-Night Trip...

This was the best trip ever!!! I am so grateful Zicasso introduced us to our tour operator. This team was amazing! They set up a call to learn more about us and jumped into action. Within a short time, they came back to us with a presentation on ideas, with recommendations. There is no chance our trip would have been half as good without them. They even had a text group on standby while we were here in case we needed anything.

Italy Vacation Review: Venice, Lake Como, Dolomites, Siena,...

Zicasso's travel partner organized a fabulous trip for us to Italy. Everything from the minute we arrived in Venice to when we departed from Rome was perfectly arranged and seamless. Our hotels were superb! We so enjoyed all of the excursions/day trips.

We had been referred to Zicasso by a friend and we have passed the word on to other friends.

Italy Travel Review: Rome, Pompeii, Capri, Colosseum, Pantheon,...

Communication from Zicasso's travel partner was best in class!!!! She was very quick, informative, and thorough.

The itinerary was excellent!! We enjoyed everything that was set up for us and the guides were excellent.

The only thing that was concerning was the crowds during this time. Next time, when we go to Northern Italy, we will go during a less crowded time.

Italy Family Travel Review: Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany,...

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!!

Italy Tour Review: Venice, Lake Trasimeno, Cooking Class,...

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!
