Portugal Travel Review: Porto, Evora, Madeira Island, Douro Valley, Lisboa, Winery Tour, Fado Dinner, 14-Day Trip

We have just returned from our two-week trip to Portugal. This was the first time we've ever used an agency to help us plan a trip and we are hooked! Just having the ease of mind that everything was booked, planned, and paid for before we left was such a load off our shoulders.

In regard to the travel specialists with Zicasso's travel company, we couldn't be happier with how they handled every little detail! They made us feel like we were their friends and not just clients. The agent was straightforward with her opinions when we had questions, sharing her vast knowledge of the country, and together we came up with an amazing itinerary.

Portugal Vacation Review: Guides, 20 Days

The service from Zicasso's travel company was superbly executed by our travel agent. She was a responsive and knowledgeable travel agent. Her correspondence and phone calls were timely and always helpful. I have never had a trip so flawless in planning and execution. I cannot say enough about her and the travel company's services.

The itinerary, the tour guides, the hotel accommodations, and transportation services were superb. Her communication throughout the process of planning and execution, and experiencing the tour, was always timely. I am more than pleased with the Zicasso experience. I am looking forward to planning our next trip with the service.

Italy Travel Review: Vatican, Rome, Wine Tasting, 9 Nights

We had a wonderful experience, from planning our trip with Zicasso's travel designer to experiencing all Italy had to offer. She and her team worked with us when we needed to have them step in on hotel accommodations at our beach resort.

Croatia, Montenegro Vacation Review: Split, Hvar, Dubrovnik, Korcula, Mljet, National Parks, History, Architecture, 14-Day Trip

My husband and I recently visited Croatia and Montenegro for two weeks. Our experience with the travel company and specifically our travel specialist far surpassed our expectations. We wanted to visit national parks and several islands, as well as the old towns of Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik. He was able to coordinate all we wanted to see, with limited moving around from hotel to hotel, so we didn't feel rushed. When we needed to make a couple of adjustments to our daily schedule, it was changed effortlessly.

We have been on several trips through Zicasso and the most impressive thing that sets our travel specialist apart from other travel specialists we've encountered is that he was in communication with us daily to make sure our trip was flawless. I'm looking forward to visiting Croatia again and our travel specialist will definitely be the one setting up another trip for us. Thank you again!!

Italy Travel Review: Heritage, Local Cuisine, 10 Nights

The hotels were in great locations within the city to be able to walk and see all the sites. The drivers we had were very professional and courteous. I would have liked to have a better platform to track the trip and the destinations. I have used a trip plans app before and it’s easy to use. I felt like the communication with our travel guide was minimal, but our overall trip was beautiful and memorable, and we will definitely be traveling again soon.

Italy Travel Review: Taormina, Syracuse, Catania, Militello, Ragusa, Aci Castello, Modica, Mount Etna, Private Tour, Cooking Class, Boat Ride, 9 Nights

This was a superb trip that allowed us to combine personal visits to Taormina and Syracuse with a pre-planned group meeting in Catania. Planning and communication were excellent, supported by an app that let us easily view our itinerary, complete with phone numbers for the drivers, hotels, and the tour operator contacts.

The hotels were perfect! They were wonderfully located, with impeccable service in Taormina and Syracuse. Our excursions were private and diverse, and allowed us to combine culture, foodie interests, and free time. The guides were top-notch, knowledgeable, and flexible.

We especially loved seeing the smaller towns of Sicily; Militello, Ragusa, Aci Castello, and Modica. We even arrived in one small town during their annual festival.

We had a dedicated driver for our trip who was, himself, a treasure; always on time, always ready to adjust to changes, and a delightful personality.

This was such a good experience that we have selected Zicasso's tour operator to book another Italy trip next year.
