Detailed Description

The Romantic Road in the south of Germany is irresistibly — well — romantic. It winds its way through a landscape of magical forests, rugged mountains, sleepy townships, and fairytale castles, encountering a UNESCO World Heritage site or two along the way. The area also offers a rich cultural experience — the crafts, traditions and customs of the region are proudly upheld, giving visitors an intimate glance into Bavarian life. 

Begin your seven-day fairytale adventure at the northern gateway of the Romantic Road, Würzburg, and see a mighty fortress and an 18th-century palace with the largest fresco in the world. Move on to one of the world’s best preserved medieval towns, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and experience what life was like during the Middle Ages, then stop by traditional Bavarian villages on the way to the historic city of Augsburg. 

Further south, near the border of Austria, meet the enchanting town of Füssen and the magnificent SchlossSchloß Neuschwanstein — the castle that inspired Disney. While in the area, visit two other royal palaces — the decadent Schlossß Hochenschwangau and the whimsical Schlossß Linderhof — as well as the magnificent Baroque Ettal abbey. Then set off for Bavaria’s capital, Munich. Breathe in the city’s vibrant culture, while exploring its architecturally profound landmarks, museums and parks, and trying traditional cuisine and — of course — the famous Munich “helles” (pale lager).

Austria, Germany, Switzerland Tour Review: Glacier Express,...

This was a five-star trip all the way. We traveled alone, but always knew we had the security of Zicasso's tour company at our immediate disposal, if needed.

Our Zicasso travel coordinator was extremely responsive, which we highly value. She spent weeks adjusting and discussing our custom itinerary to meet our needs. We asked so many questions about payment and options while building trust; she never faltered in her patience, professionalism, and kind support.

When it came time for our trip, everything flowed with our custom itinerary. We are seasoned travelers, so we were not annoyed by some minor inconviences and the company's WhatsApp help desk team was super-responsive and even proactive. Each day they provided our next day's itinerary. They worked hard for us to make some "in-the-moment" changes and we always felt supported and cared for.

One hotel was not four stars, as described, but locals explained it had recently changed management. One guide was a bit intrusive and lacked boundaries, but we did not hesitate to provide those suppliers with our direct feedback either; we know it was not on our travel company.

So, in summary, everything was a great experience, just be clear to have the right expectations and share any feedback directly with sub-contractors, but also follow up with the travel company.

Austria, Germany Travel Review: Wine Tasting, Cooking Class,...

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.

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.
