Venice - The Best View

The plane arrives in Venice and you can sense the history and celebration of the city no matter the time of year, from Carnival to autumn. You are met at the airport by a private transfer and guided via the water taxi, traversing the Grand Canal where boats and gondolas roam, viewing the arching domes and pink bell tower that rise over St. Mark’s square. Arrive at your hotel located near the historic city center. The energetic cheerful sounds of active visitors are contagious, bringing more excitement to your lavish surroundings. Step out onto the streets and visit the city that has been built on the water. Striding into St. Mark’s Square is an experience in and of itself. The cobblestones are filled with cooing pigeons and jovial children chasing the birds through the open plaza.

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.
