Italy Trip Review: Food Tours, Gelato-Making Class, Gondola...

The entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, we had the pleasure of working with Zicasso travel agents, who went above and beyond to make sure every detail was accounted for. They were incredibly accommodating, adjusting our itinerary to fit the needs of everyone in our family.

Every tour guide and driver we had along the way was phenomenal in their own unique way. They each added something special to our trip. The activities were well thought out, engaging, and perfectly paced, and we especially appreciated the excellent food recommendations. We did not experience one bad meal.

This was truly a stress-free, memorable journey, thanks to the thoughtful planning and dedication of our travel company. We would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a smooth and enjoyable travel experience.

Italy Travel Review: Rome, Positano Capri, Private Boat,...

The trip was smartly planned by Zicasso's travel company, with a good balance between sightseeing and dow time, especially with three teenage boys. Overall, it was truly excellent, from the skip-the-line tickets to the quality of the transfers, drivers, and tour guides, the spacing of all we did and saw, and the quick responsiveness when questions or small curveballs came up.

Spain Vacation Review: History, Culture, Boat Trip, Cooking...

For our first and long-awaited trip to Europe, we had high expectations. Not knowing the ins and outs of travel and locations, we enlisted the help of Zicasso's travel company and our agent. From the start, she was inquisitive about where we wanted to visit, what our interests were, and if we had any specific destinations in mind. Not only did she provide a packed itinerary, but she made sure we had seamless travel assistance from each city we visited. She also provided insight into the customs and crowd expectations. In the entire two-week trip, we had one scheduling mix-up in which our agent was easily reachable and straightened things out right away. It was very comforting to know we had assistance readily available.

I would definitely recommend our travel company; they allowed us to relax and enjoy the trip, even leading up to the travel.
