Our Austria Travel Specialists

Zicasso's travel specialist crafted an unforgettable journey through Germany for us in September 2025. He truly listened to our interests and designed a phenomenal itinerary that showcased the very best the country has to offer—from small, charming medieval villages and breathtaking Rhine wine country to magnificent castles, dynamic modern cities, and the majestic Bavarian Alps. We also appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of sites tied to WWII and Cold War history, providing a meaningful and reflective perspective on Germany’s past.
Members of our group have personal family connections to Nazi forced labor and concentration camps, as well as life behind the Iron Curtain in post-war East Germany. Our incredible guides handled these sensitive topics with knowledge and compassion, helping us dive deeper and even find answers to lingering questions.
Every guide we met along the way was exceptional—knowledgeable, personable, and fluent in English—which brought each experience to life and deepened our appreciation for the places we visited. The trip was full and fast-paced, yet perfectly balanced for what we were looking for.
The variety of experiences—from somber memorials to the grand pageantry of palaces and the pure joy of Oktoberfest—made the trip incredibly rich and memorable. Throughout it all, our travel specialist kept close communication and ensured everything ran smoothly, giving us complete peace of mind.
We could not be more thrilled with our experience and highly recommend our travel specialist and this agency to anyone looking for a perfectly curated, seamless, and extraordinary adventure!

Zicasso's travel specialist, specifically Zicasso's travel agency, was fantastic! This travel specialist tailored our trip based on our conversations. She was thorough in her communications and provided us with excellent recommendations, along with top-notch arrangements.
We had one minor issue at our hotel, and she was quick to respond and successfully resolve it to our satisfaction. We would highly recommend this travel specialist for anyone traveling to Croatia and the surrounding area. When we return to Croatia, we will use her to help us plan another perfect trip! Thank you!!!

I would like to thank Zicasso’s tour operator and everyone at this travel company for our very well-planned trip!
We were pleased with the route, hotels, and cities. Sadly, the museum in Cetinje that we specifically wanted to see, and for which our travel specialist allocated an additional one hour of touring, was closed on Monday, the day we went. Ugh. (Extra time at a museum in Cetinje was stated in our itinerary.) However, we made up for it by asking our guide to walk us through the old town of Budva, which he did.
Notes on personnel: Our driver for the majority of the trip was the star! He was a very careful driver and a sensitive and personable man. We absolutely fell in love with him.
Our guides and drivers were wonderful in Dubrovnik. Our guide was the best! She was punctual, very well prepared, had great people skills, spoke perfect English, and made the tour very interesting and relevant in human and geo-political terms.
The guide in Kotor was also very good. The guide was not the one as stated in the itinerary. She only showed up for the boat tour of Lake Shkodra. For two days in Montenegro, we had a male guide. He was superb!
The guide in Ohrid was wonderful. He had excellent English, a great sense of humor, and an extremely interesting storyteller. People skills were great too.
There was just one excellent guide in Albania at Berat, on par with the ones in Dubrovnik, Macedonia, and Montenegro. But the other two at Gjirokastër and at Butrint were not as polished and not as punctual and did not think to call us to tell us they were being delayed. Our driver even managed to sneak in another tour while we were waiting for him for over 30 minutes in front of the archaeological site, and he actually accused us of not being on time. This happened while we arrived at the exact time outlined in our itinerary.
I hope these specific comments could help the guides discover what would elevate them from people who can relate historical facts to great overall guides with good people skills.
Still, we had a great experience overall. Please extend our thanks to everyone who made this trip happen and especially our driver.
I have already recommended your agency to several of our friends and will travel with you in the future when the opportunity presents itself.

Zicasso's travel agency did an amazing job planning and executing our honeymoon. From the first phone call, when the team shared thoughtful logistics guidance and a well-thought-out initial itinerary, to the daily itinerary updates during our honeymoon, our agency delivered a best-in-class experience for my wife and me.
From our initial call, our agency's team understood our intents for our honeymoon and they delivered with a great mix of activities, great meal reservations, and amazing hotels. Also, the drivers and guides they booked for us were first class. Very professional.
Overall, it was an incredible experience and our agency played a big role in our unforgettable trip!

Zicasso's travel agency and staff were nothing short of amazing! Their details, knowledge, and strategic planning throughout our honeymoon made for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Any question my wife or I had, they were quick to respond, while also being incredibly kind, polite, and thorough. I have nothing but positive things to say! We had so much fun as we explored these two countries. We can’t wait to use them for our next overseas vacation! There’s no doubt in my mind that we will!

I had such a great experience working with Zicasso’s travel specialist. From our very first email to the last detail, she listened to what I was hoping for and paid attention to every little aspect. She took the time to understand our travel style and needs. The travel specialist made thoughtful suggestions that fit into our travel plans and gave us insight on many things we would never have considered. From the start, she was organized, timely, and clear, and always made communications easy. Her professionalism and kindness made planning our trip to Switzerland a joy and not a chore. I truly appreciate her efforts and look forward to working with her again.

All five of us agree that Zicasso’s tour operator provided us with one of the best and well-curated tours we have had. From the start in Ljubljana to the awe-inspiring finale at Dubrovnik, we could not have asked for more.
The cooking class in Trsteno was a highlight, as well as the truffle-tasting menu in Motovun and the food-and-wine pairings menu in Goriška Brda.
All the local guides were very knowledgeable and informative, providing us with not just information on the sights, but also the complicated historical background (especially in the Balkans!). They were also very interactive.
The accommodations were stellar.
Especially, our guide/driver was the best; very accommodating, friendly, and personable.
We can't wait to use them again in the future.

The trip was amazing!! Zicasso's travel designer planned our trip around what we wanted and it could not have been better. Fantastic!
