Our Italy Travel Specialists

This was our first trip using Zicasso, so we were not sure what to expect. But our trip to Italy that was set up with the help of our travel company was terrific! We had a fabulous time and would certainly use the company again if we have the chance.
Our agent was extremely responsive and helpful before and during the trip. This helped relieve any stress we may have had, since we were not familiar with the places we were traveling to. And the recommended/selected vendors for transfers, tours, etc., met our needs very well.

Zicasso's travel agent was wonderful! She listened to what we envisioned for our trip and made it all happen seamlessly!

The trip was amazing all around. Incredible. The service and itinerary were perfect. We highly recommend Zicasso's travel company.

My husband and I had utilized the services of Zicasso for prior journeys to Italy, Southeast Asia, and Australia/New Zealand. For our recent trip to Matera and Puglia, I requested an agency located in Italy that specializes in travel to Italy. We selected a company that was on a magazine’s A-list of travel advisors.
Our travel consultant listened to and respected my requests for certain activities (private food, historical and boat tours, wine tastings, cheese making) and types of accommodations (properties that offered a shaded area to relax and read). She also emailed answers to my numerous detail-oriented questions (the curse of having personally worked as a tour guide). She sent a lovely gift to our first hotel and called halfway through our vacation to check in with us. Communication via text with WhatsApp was convenient and used frequently. Most importantly, when we had a problem with one of our accommodations, she followed up (even after our trip had ended) and graciously offered some compensation.

The trip Zicasso's travel consultant designed for us was absolutely perfect in every way! The hotel in Florence was a beautiful place to stay. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was outstanding. I loved seeing art everywhere in the hotel and the staff were helpful and accommodating.
All of our drivers were friendly and helpful. As two women traveling in a country where we didn't speak the language, our drivers made us feel safe and well taken care of.
Our guide for the Uffizi, Accademia, Bargello, and the Duomo was incredible! She enriched our experience with her extensive knowledge base and delightful personality. We formed a fast friendship and were sad when our time with her came to an end. She was one of the highlights of our trip. I can't say enough wonderful things about her! 
The wine tours were fabulous! We learned so much about the Chianti region. Each tour was well done, but Montalcino was the stand-out experience. It was so elegant and wonderful. Needless to say, we brought home several bottles...
I can't thank the travel consultant enough. From start to finish, she was absolutely lovely to work with. She understood exactly what we wanted and curated a trip of a lifetime for us! I fell in love with the art, architecture, people, food, and wine of the region, and hope to return someday.
I must also acknowledge our US contact. He was incredibly helpful any time he was called on to assist. So cheerful and positive.
I have already recommended Zicasso to many of my friends. I will certainly look forward to my next trip curated by your company.
Thank you for an incredible experience!

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.

Zicasso matched us up with two Italian travel agencies. We provided our dates of travel and approximate travel budget per person. Each agency gave us a preliminary itinerary. We were able to request changes to the itinerary and then chose the one that we preferred. The communication through the Zicasso website was easy and comprehensive.
Our entire trip went off without a single problem. We stayed at a very nice apartment in Rome, 1,000 feet from the Colosseum. We had very knowledgeable private tour guides for the Colosseum and the Vatican, allowing us to skip all of the entrance lines. We had private transfers from the airport to the apartment and from the apartment to the train station. We took a train from Rome to Naples and had another private transfer to a very nice hotel in Ravello. We did a private boat tour of the Amalfi Coast with a captain and a first mate. Drinks and snacks were included. We did a guided hike, which ended at a farm-to-table lunch. We spent a morning in Pompeii, followed by a local wine tasting and lunch.
Every part of the vacation exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were fantastic. The planned activities were just what we were looking for. We still had enough free time to explore on our own and choose which restaurants we wanted to eat at each evening. I feel like we got a great deal for what we paid and would definitely book a vacation through Zicasso again.

We had a fantastic trip. It was so well organized and customized to our family.
