Our Italy Travel Specialists

From start to finish, this was an amazing trip! All the accommodations were excellent, the tour guides were knowledgeable and engaging, our drivers were friendly and helpful, and the experiences (walking food tours, cooking class, wine tastings) were just what we wanted! We are extremely happy with the help we received from Zicasso's travel specialists, all the arrangements that were made, the communication throughout our stay—the entire trip!

Overall, we had a wonderful trip. All of the locations were great and met our expectations. A few of our hotel accommodations could have been a little bit better, but overall, they met our needs. The tours and our guides were wonderful, very knowledgeable, and friendly.
The river ride in Seville, Spain, was the only activity that wasn't very good, as it seemed more like a boat ride versus a tour. Also, the communications with the travel company in Greece and Spain were excellent. They provided all the information we needed via text and WhatsApp.
We were very pleased with Zicasso’s travel specialist. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions.

I want to take a moment to express my sincere thanks to Zicasso's travel company and each and every tour guide they provided. I had the most amazing time of my life. My group received the best care and attention to detail; we never had to worry or wonder what to do or how we would get there. I cannot express my gratitude to all. There is no other way to travel. This tour was worth every penny I spent. Thanks to our guides and drivers for their knowledge and enthusiasm, and to all those who made this a remarkable journey. I'll never forget this trip as long as I live.

My husband and I recently traveled to Italy for the first time. We wanted it to be a trip of a lifetime with as little stress as possible. We wanted to stay in beautiful hotels close to everything as my husband has some physical limitations. We wanted it to be comparable in price to other tours we were researching.
We wanted a lot.
I learned about our travel company from a Zicasso ad in the New York Times. We feel so lucky to have found this incredible company. They were able to, literally, check all of our boxes and give us everything we wanted and needed for our beautiful trip.
Preplanning was key. The personalized collaborative planning started with a personal conversation with the owner on Zoom. He collected much information about our interests, goals for the trip, physical needs, and budgetary constraints. His team then created a beautiful itinerary, with many choices of hotels and VIP tours. It was so much fun to do research and make the choices that began to shape our once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Our travel concierge offered advice and recommendations, and answered the many questions we had throughout the planning process, until we came up with our final itinerary. Designing a trip with an expert in the field was fun and well worth it!!
Once in Italy, the attention to every detail made our experience simply extraordinary. From the moment we got off the plane, we were seamlessly guided and transported throughout the week by drivers and guides. We never had to worry about how we would get anywhere, which enabled us to fully focus our attention on all the beautiful locations and culture of Italy.
Choosing some guided tours was well worth it too. There is so much history and culture in Italy it is mind boggling. Our guides were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend going to the Vatican in Rome, Orvieto in Tuscany, and Pompeii in Sorrento.
We highly recommend our travel company to anyone who plans to go to Italy. Just one more question for our agent. Now that we have fallen in love with Italy, where to next?

When we decided to go to Italy, we wanted to avoid a group tour so we could see and do what we were interested in at our own pace. Zicasso connected us with our tour operator and we were impressed with their competence, knowledge, and personal touch. Throughout the process of deciding what to do in Italy, they provided valuable guidance and suggestions. Information was exchanged via email, Zoom, and phone calls, then everything was confirmed by email from the tour operator. Our agenda was detailed and easy to follow. We visited five cities and stayed at small and large hotels, some downtown, some rural.
We recommend using guides, as we did for a two- to three-hour walking tour, for places you visit. All our guides and the excursions the tour operator arranged were excellent. We could not have done these things with a group tour. All transportation in Italy was arranged for us and the drivers were professional, friendly, and prompt, so we had no problem getting places. The hotels we stayed at were screened by the tour operator, so they were exactly what we wanted. They included breakfast, which was excellent. All recommendations for places to eat worked out great for us and we enjoyed them immensely.
The tour operator is an expert in travel to Italy. The custom itinerary they provided made our trip very special for us and we enjoyed it beyond our expectations. We highly recommend using this tour operator for any trip to Italy.

Everything was perfect! From the wonderful drivers, guide, restaurant reservations, and constantly receiving updates on our daily activities from Zicasso’s trip coordinator, everything was perfect!

It was a great experience! Every activity was fun and interesting. The guides and drivers were wonderful. You made our trip so easy.

We are not regular travelers and had never been to Italy prior to this trip, so we really needed the advice of an expert with a lot of patience. Our entire group liked Zicasso’s travel specialist from the start. She was easy to work with and had plenty of constructive ideas when we had questions or wanted to adjust plans.
When it came time for the actual trip, she was available via WhatsApp and responded quickly to real-time developments (example: several folks missed connections to Venice for the first day, so the travel specialist rescheduled our planned gondola ride). Although there were six of us on the trip, I did most of the interacting with her. I enjoyed working with her leading up to and during the trip; she made my life so much easier. We would definitely work with her in the future.
