Austria Travel Guide

Zicasso's travel specialist was absolutely amazing to work with.

They answered every question in a very timely fashion, putting my mind at ease.

They created the perfect itinerary for us.

Everything on the itinerary worked out flawlessly.

I absolutely would recommend Zicasso to anyone planning a trip to Europe.

The team worked tirelessly to provide an unforgettable trip of a lifetime for my family.

Having used Zicasso previously, I solicited their help in planning a 10-day trip to Vienna and Prague over Christmas and New Year’s, with short notice. Parameters included a full experience, Christmas markets, and an exposure to culture, churches, and museums. Zicasso’s travel agent, based in Slovenia, was helpful, responsive, and timely in her communications, including when issues and concerns arose. The overall experience was excellent, including the pre-arranged tours. The price point was high, especially when considering the marginal cost for a third person, but we were fully satisfied with our experience.

The trip was exactly what we wished for this past Christmas. We had all our grown children together for Christmas for the first time in years.

We started the trip in Vienna, where we took a walking tour of the city and saw its wonderful Christmas markets, Schönbrunn Palace, the Lipizzaner stallions, and learned how to best make apple strudel. From there, we went to Filzmoos, where we took a sleigh ride up the mountain for a traditional Austrian dinner. We also spent Christmas Day up on Kitzsteinhorn. Then we went on to Salzburg, where we took a city tour and enjoyed the late Christmas market opportunities. From there, we drove to Prague to spend our New Year’s.

Zicasso’s travel company gave us just what we wanted. And the most important component of the trip was the people we met along the way. The drivers and the tour guides were all fabulous. Many seemed like old friends by the time our trip was over. Please send our thanks to all those involved in making our trip one we will never forget.

From my first conversation with Zicasso’s travel specialist, I knew he was listening to me and understood the type of trip our group was hoping to take. The itinerary he developed was specific to our requests, but he also made suggestions that enhanced our experience. His excellent and timely communication made for a stress-free trip. All hotels, guides, and drivers were exceptional. We were absolutely pleased with our entire trip experience and would not hesitate to recommend his services.

Our trip to Austria and Germany was initiated with a desire to see the Christmas markets. And yes, these were magical, but Zicasso’s travel company also included guided trips at each location to fully enjoy our trip. The private ride through Bavaria to Neuschwanstein Castle was Christmas-card picturesque. Walking through Vienna on a guided tour was as if we were visiting Franz Joseph and Sisi. The travel company created an itinerary that balanced the needs of a group with different ages, interests, and budgets, and everyone had a magnificent time.

We started our planning with Zicasso’s travel specialist, and she was fabulous to work with in creating the perfect itinerary. We then transferred to another travel specialist, who completed the work and created a bucket-list trip for us. Every detail was perfect. The drivers and guides were incredible and very flexible with our pace of traveling. We reconnected with the travel specialist during our trip through WhatsApp. She again kept us informed on schedules and contacts during our travels. The selected hotels were perfect for us. This was our third trip with a Zicasso partner and I am sure we will be back for adventure.
