Our Italy Travel Specialists

Our trip to France was wonderful! I felt listened to on what we wanted to do and see, and I felt Zicasso's travel expert did a great job planning nice things within our budget.
Throughout the trip, I was communicated with well, which involved changes to our train tickets. Every driver and tour guide who was set up showed up on time and helped make the trip feel at ease.
We loved the location of the hotel in Paris, but the quarters were too tight for our family. We couldn't even open our suitcases in the room unless we went one at a time. However, it had AC, which when you go at one of the hottest times of the year was a great gift. The hotel in London was magnificent. A home run!
I am deeply appreciative of all the work that went into making this trip one of the highlights of our lives. With that said, I did a ton of planning on this and sorting through where everything was located and what made sense. I could've used more direction on this part. Sometimes, I guess, you only learn by doing.

My husband and I recently traveled to Italy for the first time. We wanted it to be a trip of a lifetime with as little stress as possible. We wanted to stay in beautiful hotels close to everything as my husband has some physical limitations. We wanted it to be comparable in price to other tours we were researching.
We wanted a lot.
I learned about our travel company from a Zicasso ad in the New York Times. We feel so lucky to have found this incredible company. They were able to, literally, check all of our boxes and give us everything we wanted and needed for our beautiful trip.
Preplanning was key. The personalized collaborative planning started with a personal conversation with the owner on Zoom. He collected much information about our interests, goals for the trip, physical needs, and budgetary constraints. His team then created a beautiful itinerary, with many choices of hotels and VIP tours. It was so much fun to do research and make the choices that began to shape our once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Our travel concierge offered advice and recommendations, and answered the many questions we had throughout the planning process, until we came up with our final itinerary. Designing a trip with an expert in the field was fun and well worth it!!
Once in Italy, the attention to every detail made our experience simply extraordinary. From the moment we got off the plane, we were seamlessly guided and transported throughout the week by drivers and guides. We never had to worry about how we would get anywhere, which enabled us to fully focus our attention on all the beautiful locations and culture of Italy.
Choosing some guided tours was well worth it too. There is so much history and culture in Italy it is mind boggling. Our guides were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend going to the Vatican in Rome, Orvieto in Tuscany, and Pompeii in Sorrento.
We highly recommend our travel company to anyone who plans to go to Italy. Just one more question for our agent. Now that we have fallen in love with Italy, where to next?

The trip was great. Zicasso's travel expert did a good job in putting our trip together. The tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Tour pick-ups and hotel/airport transfers were handled efficiently. We appreciated that the travel company was always available by text to handle any questions/concerns.
To have more time to review our final travel documents, it would have been helpful to have received them sooner than a week prior to our departure.

Zicasso's travel agent was like our “patron saint of hassle-free and VIP vacations!" Every step of our trip was planned for us; we were greeted by private guides at each airport or train station, and met in the lobby of our hotel for each privately guided tour. We went to the front of the line at the Vatican on a day when the line stretched over a mile. Each night she sent us a detailed itinerary for the next day’s tours and on our free days she even gave us suggestions for local restaurants.
I have traveled pretty extensively for work and pleasure, and this trip was so well organized by this travel agency. I cannot recommend them any higher. If you want a truly memorable and hassle-free vacation, you must use them; you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for creating a true “trip of a lifetime."

We had an excellent experience; it couldn't have gone better.
We loved working with the entire team from Zicasso's tour company. They were exceptional at being ready for any on-the-fly questions and changes. Communication is key, and they are very good at it.
All of our excursions were excellent and the drivers were prompt and courteous.
Will definitely use them again if going to Italy.

We had a very good pre-trip dynamic with Zicasso's tour agency: positive, constructive, genuine, and open. Very responsive. Very good teamwork. Very efficient.
After the experience, you could tell they truly listened to how we like to travel in terms of everything: pacing, hotels, guides, activities, and quality of local providers.
They know the area and also hold a good/solid network of providers in the area.
There was an "open line of communication with them the whole time through a simple solution (WhatsApp chat).
Their recommendations and reservations were totally on target (food). The guides were very professional. We wanted to take advantage of every day and they made us go to bed really tired (which is a good thing).

Our trip was absolutely amazing and the planning done by Zicasso's travel company surpassed my expectations. The attention to detail was amazing: from excellent and punctual drivers to assistants who helped us with the water taxis in Venice to the lounge access for trains. It was truly white-glove service that made my trip seamless and allowed me to enjoy every moment because every detail was handled.
The excursions were fantastic. I especially enjoyed the cooking class at a farm in Tuscany and the Vespa tours in Rome. There was a nice mix of private excursions for the walking tours and boat rides, to a few shared excursions, such as the cooking class.
The hotels the travel company booked were chic, boutiquey Italian hotels and each had its own charm (from the former palace in Venice to the castle in Chianti), and we loved them. We would absolutely recommend to anyone booking a trip to Italy!

Zicasso's trip planner booked us the most amazing mother-daughter trip. We traveled to Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast, and every piece was perfectly timed and planned. Each experience that was planned was with great guides and chefs, making every day fun and engaging. I highly recommend her and her team!
