Day 1

Rome – Arrive in Rome and the Tiber River

Rome is known as the “Eternal City,” and embodies the tenants of Italian culture, from leisure to history, artistic aesthetic to a devoted relationship with romance. Your private transfer will greet you at Rome’s Fiumicino Airport and escort you to your boutique hotel at the heart of the historic city. Ivy drapes over the façade as nearby, the water cascades beneath the empowering figure of Oceanus posing at the center of the Trevi Fountain.

After taking a moment to settle into the comforts of your beautiful hotel, you can make your way to the banks of the Tiber River at Saint Angelo’s Pier and board an elegant boat. The lights over the river will flicker on the water and bring an ethereal glow to Rome while your four-course meal introduces an enticing array of aromas as you bask in the romance listening to the soft strumming of a guitarist. You may have an unadulterated view of the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica soaring above the city as you cruise by on a perfect first night in Rome.

Grace B.
Italy, Greece Honeymoon Review: Culture, Cuisine, Snorkeling, Cooking Class, 12 Nights

My husband and I went through Zicasso to plan our honeymoon to Italy and Greece. This was the best decision ever! We worked closely with our travel specialist to plan our trip and she was absolutely phenomenal. This was our first international trip outside of the US, so we were a bit nervous at first! However, our specialist ensured every aspect of the trip was organized and that we were taken care of every step of the way.

The biggest relief was transportation. We did not have to give a second thought as to how we were getting places; we had drivers set up at every destination and for nearly every activity. Also, we had 24/7 support if anything were to go wrong, which gave us peace of mind.

If you are hesitant to use Zicasso for your next trip, I want you to know that I was too, but it was the best decision! We were able to personalize and tailor our trip to our needs without the hassle of dealing with the details.

I was very pleased with the entire planning of the trip. The communication with Zicasso's tour company was excellent. The meals that were pre-arranged by them were fantastic and we probably would not have found them on our own.

It was a great pleasure working with Zicasso's tour agency. Our travel designer and her staff were attentive to the kind of trip we wanted and planned a great itinerary. The hotels, restaurants, and drivers were all top-notch. For us, the acid test was the quality of the guides, and they excelled there as well. We would happily have them plan another trip for us.
