Switzerland, Austria Vacation Review: Grindelwald, Zermatt, Alps, Scenery, Paragliding, Cliff Walk, Classical Music, Architecture, Local Cuisine, 2 Weeks

With the help of Zicasso, my wife and I experienced a once-in-a-lifetime 17-day tour of the major cities in Switzerland and Austria. The trip was exactly what we wanted it to be.

We initially spoke with our travel expert before the trip and came up with a great plan and schedule. Then Zicasso made it all happen flawlessly. The trip enabled us to see and do everything we wanted to, while remaining relaxing. The accommodations were better than expected.

Zicasso always had knowledgeable staff available to answer a question anytime, They provided excellent information to keep us happy and healthy, and the personal tours and events were beyond what we had hoped they would be. It was as though we had friends and family in the travel industry. My wife and I will use them exclusively from this point forward. Six out of five stars!

Austria, Switzerland, Italy Tour Review: Como, Salzburg, Swiss Alps, Scenery, Local Cuisine, History, Culture, 11-Night Trip

The trip was great and the coordination for trains, transfers to and from hotels, and the airport provided by Zicasso's trip planner was perfect. We enjoyed the variety of each city and the hotel locations were perfect for our needs. We also appreciated the private tours, with extraordinary local tour guides. It was a first-rate trip overall.

Switzerland Tour Review: Nature, Scenery, 8-Night Trip

The Zicasso tour operator's team did a fantastic job planning our trip to Switzerland. They covered every detail and provided vouchers for every activity, hotel, gondola ride, etc. Not only that, but they even selected specific rooms in hotels. These were corner rooms with the best views, something that would have been very hard for me to do on my own. I can't recommend this team enough for your next trip to this beautiful country.

Switzerland Travel Review: Alps, Train Trip, 5 Nights

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Switzerland. The hotels were wonderful, with lovely rooms and in great locations (with beautiful views). The luggage express made our trip easy and convenient. The Zicasso travel agent did an excellent job in organizing our trip and he was available whenever we had a question.

Switzerland Travel Review: Lucerne, Bern, Zurich, Wengen, Lavaux, Mountains, History, Winery, Old City, 1 Week

Everyone we worked with was so helpful and timely with their responses. We absolutely loved the trip you all put together for us! We had a wonderful time together! It had a perfect mix of natural beauty, city, mountains, some history, and time to explore on our own (with recommendations provided). The itinerary was so detailed and we had zero issues following the daily plans/instructions during our visit to Switzerland. I think we did just about every single thing you guys had on the list, including the “you might do this” with extra time.

Switzerland, Italy Trip Review: Luzern, Geneva, Murren, Grindelwald, Lake Como, Bellagio, Gondolas, Cable Car, E-Bike Tour, Kayaking, Chocolate Experience, 14-Day Tour

We had a wonderful trip to Switzerland and the Lake Como area. Zicasso's tour agency curated the perfect itinerary, combining some relaxing days with some active days. The e-bike tour through the Lavaux vineyards and kayaking in Bellagio were definite highlights. They chose beautiful hotels in perfect locations for easy access to the metro and local sights. Having them take care of all of our tickets and train passes ahead of time made for a stress-free trip!
