Germany, France Vacation Review: History, Castles, Small Towns, Local Cuisine, 2 Weeks

We just got back from a wonderful trip touring Germany. Zicasso's travel expert did a great job planning out our trip and everything went well, as planned. He was quick and efficient in planning our trip, listened to our wants and needs, and got us what we wanted in the budget that we indicated.

Months after all was planned, the airline changed its schedule and we had to move all hotels and tours to a different date. Our agent took care of everything for us and didn't charge anything extra for all the hassle he had to go through. I really appreciated that he put the clients interest first and just handled it like a professional, since the change wasn't our fault.

Every tour guide and driver showed up on time or even early, and we didn't have any problems during our trip. I highly recommend this travel company and tour agent if you are looking to visit Germany or the surrounding countries.

We had a great time in Germany. Zicasso’s tour planner was easy to work with and listened well to our requests when planning the trip. The hotels were very good. Our only complaints would be our typical complaints about European hotels.

Our trip was planned perfectly. We wanted a mix of Christmas markets and German history, and it was perfectly balanced. All of the guides were so knowledgeable and kind. The drivers were top-notch. The hotels were perfectly located and the amenities were spot-on. 

Working with Zicasso’s travel agency was seamless. Any changes we requested during the planning phases were promptly addressed. The support while on the trip was very responsive. Having the app to keep our itinerary was so convenient. We have already recommended our travel agency to our friends.

Germany Vacation Review: Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Nuremberg, Munich, Bavarian Alps, Christmas Markets, Neuschwanstein Castle

One word... outstanding! From my first contact with our Zicasso travel agent saying he would be happy to help us plan our trip to receiving our travel documents, he was exceptional. When he first reached out, I shared the purpose of visiting Germany from America was to attend our granddaughter's baptism with family. The purpose was not a trip of a lifetime, but we were interested in adding side trips and shared our interests. He created a perfect itinerary. Our trip included Frankfurt, Heidelberg, Nuremberg, and Munich, with transport, hotels, which were always in the perfect spot, and amazing things to do, with interesting tours and wonderful guides.

Our travel partner was always easy to get a hold of, with a quick response. There was great collaboration and great ideas. We may not have intended it to be a trip of a lifetime, but it turned out that it was! He started as a travel advisor and agent, and ended as a friend.

When all details were complete, he handed over our itinerary and details to his colleague, who was equally efficient and friendly,

I am very grateful he picked up my request when I was browsing around, not knowing where to start in planning this trip … and there was Zicasso … and our agent! Thank you!
