Venice Vacations & Tour Packages

We experienced a fabulous twelve night first trip ever to Europe staying in Rome, Sorrento, and Florence with day visits to Naples, Pompeii and Herculaneum, a drive with stops and photo-ops through the beautiful Amalfi coast villages to Ravello, and a day trip to historic Siena and San Gimignano through the Chianti region of Tuscany. Our travel consultant and her colleague at the company in Rome, proved to be perceptive to our interests, resourceful in finding spot-on solutions within our budget and patient professionals as we explored various itinerary options. Both women spoke and wrote english very well to thoughtfully help us plan our itinerary for three adults with private transportation and guides. Our private guides in Rome; in Pompeii and Herculaneum; in Naples; one a Canadian ex-pat in Florence; and in Siena, informed our discovery of each locale and its many treasures.  We also did two small group tours. First, a farm/food tour near Sorrento with an incredibly informative and entertaining guide, and catacombs at Saint Sebastian with a nameless guide and small group of 9 during our Appian way visit and final full day in Rome. At times we were chaperoned in private vehicles with english speaking drivers knowledgeable of their territories. In Rome, in Naples, in the Bay of Naples Sorrento area, in Tuscany, and in Amalfi. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to help others plan the vacation of a lifetime.

Our family of five just got back from the most wonderful vacation in Tuscany and Rome.  Our agent crafted a set of amazing experiences for our family from the private tour guides to Florence, Pisa and Lucca; a private wine tasting lunch at the Capannelle Winery and vineyards in Chianti; tickets to the Papal mass at the Vatican; to a tour beneath the church of San Clemente to see the excavations of a byzantine and then a Roman street neighborhood; a day excursion to the Amalfi coast to visit Positano, Sorrento and Pompeii; and more! Our agent and the guides found excellent restaurants from a simple salumeria where the locals ate to some high end restaurants.  The hotels were right in the center of Florence – on the piazza della Repubblica - and Rome – between the Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps.  Our agent was attentive to our plans and made excellent suggestions.  Everything went extremely smoothly.  All the guides drivers were very friendly, spoke English and were very knowledgeable about art, history and the local culture.  We saw so much every day because everything was so well planned.  Simply the best travel experience ever!

My husband and I, along with our 2 children (age 20 and 17), enjoyed a wonderful Italian vacation booked through Zicasso and this travel agency.  Our travel consultants listened to my ideas and arranged for us a fantastic custom itinerary.   They stayed within the budget allotted, offered choices for beautiful hotels and private tours, and made several revisions as per our request.  We departed from New York on our 25th anniversary, and spent 10 days traveling the country within the month of November.  This off-season time proved to be a great decision as reservations were easy to obtain, crowds were minimal (mostly all locals), and the weather was conducive for walking and sightseeing (average 60 degrees F).  Transportation and the personal drivers were top notch; with Mercedes SUVs or minivans to take my family from Milan-Chianti-Florence-Verona-Venice and then the high speed train down to Rome.  Accommodations arranged for us were phenomenal!  We stayed in a 12th century castle in Chianti, in the heart of the city center in Florence, and near the Spanish Steps in Rome.  The personal tour guides were friendly and knowledgable, and were happy to recommend eateries preferred by locals.  All in all, everything was flawless. We plan to return some day to see the Amalfi coast, Positano and Capri.  We would absolutely recommend these travel consultants, and the travel company team to anyone who is looking for a personalized Italian vacation.

10 days, 5+ Italian cities, 16 people…what could go wrong? Can you believe nothing did?Daniela at the travel agency developed an amazing itinerary for us. It was creative, authentic, efficient and balanced.Daniela created a final itinerary that was well-thought through, designed, organized and executed! Not only were my requests incorporated in the plan, Daniela also elaborated on my initial ideas and anticipated our needs. The result was a perfect trip that we felt was exactly what we wanted. She’s a pro!Our family group of 16 people included my parents in their 80s, my brothers and partners in our 50s, plus our 8 teens. We presented with a tall order - to visit Venice, Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast in 10 days while not feeling too rushed. We asked for authentic/historical and educational experiences (hotels, restaurants, tours and activities) that would accommodate our wide range of interests/abilities. We wanted to see just few major sights so that my parents would not get too hot or tired and the kids wouldn’t get too bored. We also requested fun and varied activities to keep our teens engaged.Our time was extremely well-managed; the itinerary was efficient. The unique, centrally-located hotels were well-chosen and air-conditioned. Also, our activities were balanced with much-needed downtime, which was often planned for mid-day during the peak of the heat…perfect!Daniela organized skip the line tours at Doge’s palace in Venice, David in Florence, Vatican, colosseum & Pompeii. Most importantly, Daniela incorporated a variety of super fun activities that the teens (and all of us) enjoyed:- Venice gondola ride.- Murano and Burano boat tour with glass blowing demonstration.- Florence biking tour.- Florence food tour.- High speed train ride to Rome.- Rome Vespa/Tuk Tuk tour.- Rome pizza-making class.- Mt. Vesuvius wine tasting and lunch.- Sorrento/Amalfi Coast all-day boat ride w/swimming.All was awesome!When transferring to a new city, our luggage was sent in advance which was very helpful. Transportation by nice sprinter vans was always professional and on-time.We also liked using an app to access our daily itinerary.A team member, in customer service, arranged all of our dinner reservations. All of the restaurants were good, authentic & ready to receive us. For last minute issues and changes, she was quickly responsive in communication on What’s app.GRAZIE Daniela & team!
