Italy Family Vacation Review: Lake Como, Tuscany, Private Driver, Sant'Agnese, Villages, Local Cuisine, Private Tour, 9-Night Trip

From start to finish, Zicasso's travel agents handled our trip beautifully.

The highlights were the private boat trip on Lake Como, as our captain and guide was excellent. The private drive through Tuscany, seeing small villages. The lunch and wine tour at Sant'Agnese was wonderful; the chicken recipe superb. The vinegars and oils of 10 to 30 years in the making, along with the wine, were excellent.

Both agents were always there for us along our trip, which made it so nice to know how responsive they always were. Our family trip to Italy was all we hoped for and more. We thank the agency so much for helping us make family memories in beautiful Italy.
