Zicasso’s travel agent did such an amazing job planning this trip for my mom and me. This was probably the most memorable experience we could’ve ever dreamed of. My mom was so happy, probably the happiest she had ever been, to be able to have this experience.
The activities and the itinerary were laid out perfectly. Our agent truly understood what we were looking for out of the trip and worked with me to make it a very memorable experience. The agent worked within my budget and understood what types of things we liked to do. We truly got to see various parts of the Italian culture that are part of our ancestry.
