Austria, Germany Travel Review: Wine Tasting, Cooking Class, Private Guide, 2 Weeks

Zicasso's travel expert pulled together a great itinerary and was very responsive to all of our questions, regardless of the time or the day of the week. He checked in with us during the tour and arranged for a birthday cake when we were in Vienna.

We were more than pleased with our guide. He was helpful, always on time, and just a pleasure to be with. He was always helpful with restaurant suggestions and always made reservations for us. He was always ready to help us with our luggage and he even carried a backpack for us during one tour. He even played a "Sound of Music" recording for us while we traveled to Salzburg. It was like we were traveling with a new friend. We would highly recommend our travel company and our guide, We are in the process of planning another tour with them.

Germany, Czechia, Austria, Switzerland Trip Review: Mount Pilatus, Matterhorn Glacier, Jungfraujoch, Schilthorn, 3-Week Tour

Zicasso's travel agency did an excellent job of helping us plan our Central Europe trip by listening to what we wanted out of the trip and then incorporating our ideas and their expert advice into an amazing itinerary. Our itinerary was jam-packed with wonderful tours and awesome adventures, including wonderful day trips throughout the three weeks of our vacation.

We have done a lot of travelling throughout the world and this was one of the best trips we have taken. In addition, they were always available and very responsive the couple of times we needed their assistance. We highly recommend them to assist anyone with their travel plans.

Austria Tour Review: Linz, Zell Am See, Graz, Museum, Cooking, Tasting Dinner, Art, Architecture, Music, Yodeling, 20 Nights

We had many very interesting and fun experiences we could not have thought of or arranged for ourselves. We had a 26-day stay in Austria, 20 days of which were organized by Zicasso's travel agency, during which we visited five cities. That meant a lot of hotel arrangements; train, museum, concert, and other event tickets; private guides; and restaurant recommendations. Everything was well-organized for us. When questions or confusion came up, our agent was immediately accessible by email to resolve things promptly.
