Amalfi Coast Tours & Vacation Packages

When we inquired about a trip on Zicasso, they told us a few companies would reach out to us with different offers on our desired location. It only took one reply back from this agent for me to know that we would have a more personable experience with this travel agency. (Mainly because he was straight up with us concerning itinerary ideas, especially regarding weather and how it is unpredictable in March. He patiently worked with my fiance and me for quite a while before we approved the final itinerary filled with transportation to and from hotels, private tours (some meant to be small group, but we ended up being only ones), and pre-planned relaxing train-rides. There wasn’t a moment of our trip that we had to worry or even think about- really. Our first stop was Rome, where we spent 3 days. Upon arrival at the airport in Rome, we had a driver waiting for us, which was a huge relief since we were tired and last thing we wanted to stress about was how to get to our hotel. Our local point-of-contact for the agency also called once we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. He was great! Once we reached our hotel, we slept off the jet-lag and then our holiday started. March is the early beginning of the tourist season, so we were able to do many things without waiting. Not saying it was empty, but we had room on the sidewalks and were in and out of restaurants in no time at all. I also highly recommend planning free days in each city, as you will want to look around for yourself and take your time in certain parts. Even if you spend a week in every city, you always leave feeling like you needed much more time, as there is so much to do and so little time in a day. We spent 3 days/4 nights in Florence. It was in Florence that we were able to easily tour a good bit of what Tuscany has to offer. Through tours our agent set up for us, we visited the beautiful cities of Siena, San Gimignano (Our Favorite), Lucca, Pisa, and the Chianti Region. We tasted sooooo many wonderful wines and privately ate at local restaurants for lunch. We also took a short train ride to Venice for a day trip, as I craved a gondola ride. Everything was planned so perfectly. The minute we stepped off the train in Venezia our guide to get us to our marked location was there with a water taxi to take us to St Mark’s Square. There, she directed us to our gondola and we spent the day wondering around Venice until meeting up back with her and the water taxi to take us back to the train station. After Florence, we traveled to Sorrento (our other favorite!) along the Amalfi Coast. It was magical and the weather was perfect. We had our own boat to visit the grottos (no wait for the Blue Grotto either!) and to the Isle of Capri; and although most of the shops were closed on the isle (early season still), it was beautiful and we were able to relax on the beach. We saw Pompeii and even hiked up Mount Vesuvius. Sorrento was a quaint and charming city and we made friends with quite a few locals. We truly had a wonderful honeymoon and I would recommend this agency to everyone. We could not be happier!

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!

Daniela tuned in very quickly as to what we were looking for and clearly delivered on that. The experiences were all and even more than we anticipated. The drivers were excellent, interesting and accommodating, especially our driver to the Caves at Balzi Rossi, who took the time to accommodate our request for an additional stop. All the guides were most knowledgeable and really covered the history. Our favorites were “Emma” and the Stibbert museum and our guide in Naples who also covered Pompeii and Herculaneum as well as the guide/vulcanologist who took the time to explain the history of the volcano as well as sift through the stones to talk about the differences.There were some glitches with the hotels. The hotel in Genoa was beautiful, but some staff were rigid in the rules such that even though we had arrived late morning in Genoa after out transatlantic flight, we were made to wait in the sitting area until 2 pm to get into our room. Other were more helpful trying to get us connected to Wi-Fi.Barbara of Daniela’s staff was incredibly helpful. When husband had severe attack of vertigo in Florence, arrangements were quickly made to get a doctor to  the hotel room. The hotel in Florence could not have been more accommodating and went out to fill the prescription. Thoroughly enjoyed stay there as everyone was so helpful, was in a great location and beautiful.  Hotel in Naples, staff was again very helpful, especially helping to get luggage to and from drivers, which could not park close by. Staff also stepped up to contact Barbara by phone, when internet was down to let her know the driver to the airport had not arrived. Once Barbara was contacted, in a very short time had a driver to the hotel which got us to the airport in time to make our flight home.
