Our Mediterranean Travel Specialists

Overall, the trip was fabulous. From the start, everything worked like clockwork. The drivers were on time and great. Our connections with trains worked perfectly. I had a concern about the noise level in several of the hotels and that was addressed. Thank you.
The Guides: Our guide in Bologna and Modena was extremely knowledgeable and delightful. We loved spending time with her. Our guide in Verona was knowledgeable and entertaining. Our guide in Ortisei was a good guide for the Dolomites. We enjoyed our hikes and lunches. He also made sure we knew where to secure gondola tickets for the third day. Our guide in Stresa was delightful and extremely knowledgeable. Milan was extremely hot and it was difficult for the four of us to keep up with our guide's commentary on the busy streets.
Hotels: Our hotels in Bologna and Verona were great. We loved the balcony and rooftop bar at our hotel in Bologna. Our hotel in Ortisei was wonderful. The service, room, and amenities were all top-notch. I did not care for the town of Torbole. We hiked to Riva del Garda and that would have been a better location for us. Our hotel in Stresa was beautiful and the pool was fantastic. Our hotel in Milan was nice, but nothing fantastic.
Side Trips: We absolutely loved our trip to Modena, learning about Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar. We also loved our cooking class. Our host and her mother were fabulous, the lunch was wonderful, and the town of Borghetto was breathtaking.

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned a wonderful trip for me and my sisters. He arranged five different private tours with guides, and each was spectacular. The guides were experts in their fields and we learned so much. The accommodations he selected were perfect and the locations could not have been better for what we wanted to do. The travel specialist was very responsive and even helped us get my sister's phone back after it fell out of her pocket in a cab. I would highly recommend the travel specialist and the travel company to anyone who asked.

Wonderful trip! Zicasso's travel specialist planned a beautiful trip for us. All the tours and activities were fabulous, unique, and very special. She was able to reschedule a tour for us when our flight was canceled and was mindful of the heat, suggesting we cancel a hike and go rafting instead. The rafting was perfect for a hot day and so much fun! We loved every tour and experience we had.
Every driver, tour guide, and business owner was friendly, accommodating, and taught us so much about the history, food, and culture of each place we visited! The only problem we had was we never wanted to leave each place we visited! I guess we will have to come back and spend more time!

We had extremely high hopes for our first trip to Italy and Zicasso’s travel agent and the entire tour operator vastly exceeded all of our expectations! From the way they took our input on our likes/dislikes and created a perfect two-week itinerary for my wife and I for our 10-year wedding anniversary to the way they covered every logistical aspect of the trip to ensure that even though we were traveling to five cities over a two-week period, we never experienced any type of stress.
The only time we even had to touch our bags was getting on/off the trains! I have never experienced a trip that was so meticulously crafted as the one the tour operator put together for us, and thanks to that care and attention to detail, they helped my wife enjoy a trip of a lifetime. We could not be more thankful!!!

Our travel went so smoothly, with A-plus drivers and guides! Zicasso’s travel agent was very helpful throughout the whole planning process, as well as keeping us up to date on our daily itinerary. It could not have been better!

I cannot say enough about my experience with Zicasso's travel company! They listened to my wishes and executed them perfectly. They handled all the details that I needed them to handle with the utmost professionalism. Not to mention they did it quickly and efficiently. Our travel specialists were top-rate! I instantly knew I had nothing to worry about with the team at the helm. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this travel company or use them again for my next Italian adventure, hopefully in 2028!!!
Thank you!

We had an amazing trip from start to finish! Zicasso’s travel company stayed in constant contact prior to the trip, as well as during the trip, checking in and making sure everything was going smoothly. Every transfer, hotel booking, directions, etc., were flawless. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

The trip was amazing. We made so many great memories and got to do all the things we wanted to do, see, and experience. Zicasso's trip coordinator was helpful in every step of the planning and during our trip. Any questions we had were promptly responded to and handled in a professional manner. We are already thinking about our next mother-daughter outing and definitely plan on using you again.
