Europe Travel Guide

Zicasso's travel specialist listened to our interests and produced a great itinerary.

We visited very good restaurants and received hotel recommendations.

We had an active trip with lots of logistics and their planning/bookings were right on.

They checked in with us just enough during the trip for it to feel like they cared, but weren’t overbearing.

Pleasant and responsive.

Our trip to Spain with Zicasso’s travel company was absolutely incredible from the start. Leading up to our departure, the travel company was exceptionally responsive and attentive, helping us design a personalized itinerary that was perfectly suited to our interests. Every element of the journey, from transportation to guided tours, ran flawlessly. The guides were knowledgeable, personable, and clearly passionate about sharing their country’s history and culture.

Midway through our trip, however, we experienced an unexpected medical emergency that required hospitalization and ultimately a medical air evacuation back to the United States. What could have been an unmanageable and chaotic situation became bearable only because of the unwavering dedication of this travel company. They were available around the clock, often making three, four, or more changes per day to our hotel, car, and train arrangements as our situation evolved.

Even beyond our original itinerary dates, they continued to provide support, ensuring every logistical challenge was handled swiftly and compassionately. Their professionalism, empathy, and commitment went far above and beyond anything we could have imagined. This travel company didn’t just plan a wonderful trip—they stood by us during one of the most stressful experiences of our lives, providing a foundation of calm organization and genuine care that was truly invaluable. We cannot recommend them highly enough and will be forever grateful for the extraordinary service they provided.

Everything worked out perfectly, from our first contact with Zicasso, through the planning process with Zicasso’s tour operator (our travel agent was the best!), and onto the trip itself.

We liked the process, the ability to work with a specialist with our wants, concerns, and needs, as well as the actual itinerary and follow-through on the ground. The concierge at each location (Rome and Sicily), as well as the use of WhatsApp, was a great thing to have. Not that we had any issues, but the availability was very comforting.

The guides used were fantastic! They were very knowledgeable and very personable. The drivers were prompt, friendly, and helpful. The accommodations picked were what we wanted, in the middle of things and perfect for our needs. I would just add that explaining the differences within the accommodations on room types would have been helpful. I would have probably gone with a bigger room in Ortigia if we'd been aware of the differences. We did know European rooms were smaller than what we're used to here in the States, but there was little light in the room we had and it was very small. We loved our accommodations in Agrigento and the hotel in Taormina!!!

All in all, we can't say enough; we've been telling our friends all about Zicasso and our travel agency. We would definitely use you again.

Zicasso’s tour company did an excellent job, from start to finish, planning our trip to Germany! The itinerary they planned was just wonderful and because of them, we truly enjoyed our trip! Everything was taken care of, from the time we arrived in Frankfurt until we left from Munich.

They gave us a printed itinerary of our entire trip, which included hotel vouchers, train tickets, tour tickets, and everything else we needed. This is the first time that has ever happened in any of our trips. They gave us a daily update on our drivers and guides. They made sure we were informed of any changes. We also had access to them via WhatsApp and they were always available whenever we had questions or concerns.

This was the most stress-free vacation we've ever had! They took care of everything for us! We got to meet the staff at Oktoberfest and they were just wonderful! We highly recommend this tour company to anyone planning a trip to Germany or anywhere else! We would use them the next time we go to Europe!

Zicasso's tour operator elevated this trip far beyond what we could have managed ourselves. It was a five-star, worry-free experience, and every single day felt tailored to us. If you’re looking for true white-glove service for a European getaway, look no further than the tour operator. They’re not just travel planners, they’re travel artists.

We’re already looking forward to booking our next adventure with them!

I was connected with the travel company through Zicasso. What an amazing trip! Many thanks to our travel designer of the travel company!!!

Our travel designer and her expert team planned a trip to Sicily for my husband and I, my siblings, and my sister-in-law. We were six and everything about the trip was executed beautifully and with great attention to every detail.

We chose to go to Taormina, Cefalù, Palermo, and Ortigia Island, flying direct in and out of Catania. Our travel designer arranged all transfers by private van for the six of us and we never had to worry where or when we were going anywhere. She was able to make changes on the spot and accommodate our every wish.

Planning the trip was so easy, as she was available to chat with me on the weekends to answer questions and clarify details. She even made dinner reservations in every city. I cannot say enough about her willingness to be available and the choices she helped us make. From the terrific winery near Mount Etna to a drive up Etna, guided tours (we had an incredibly fabulous art historian showing us the churches of Palermo), a day at leisure on the beaches of Cefalù, and an amazing cooking class in Palermo, where we learned about and visited the markets, and made pasta and cannoli, every experience was better than the one before it.

We definitely recommend, with five stars, the travel company. Have them plan your trip to Italy! This was my first time back to Europe since 2004 and it was stellar!

I surely will use this company when I plan new trips to Italy, and Zicasso as well!

When we were trying to decide where to go, we chatted with travel partners in several European destinations. Zicasso chooses the best of the best and our experiences with each of them was exceptional!

We will be back to Zicasso when we travel to other destinations!!
