Austria Travel Review: Vienna, "Sound of Music" Sites, Cooking Class, 9 Days

Zicasso’s travel specialist did a great job planning what we asked him for. We had a group with a 20 y/o, a 50 y/o, and an 80 y/o. There was just the right amount of touring, availability of free time/hiking, and outside for all of us.

Our driver and guide was attentive, took us to places he knew we would enjoy, interpreted some German for us when we were in a special service, and anticipated our needs before we did (food!).

My mother is 83 years old and just last night asked me if I had a phone number for the travel specialist so she could call him and tell him what a great trip she had! That is success for me! Thank you so much!

It was an amazing trip! We had support all along the way. Zicasso’s travel specialist communicated phone numbers, driver info, and everything we needed to have a trip that ran perfectly. Every driver and tour guide was on time, informative, and willing to make changes. It was a worry-free trip of a lifetime. I will be using Zicasso for our next vacation.

Germany Trip Review: Bavaria, Stuttgart, Munich, Porsche Factory, Castles, Scenery, 1 Week

We have done a number of trips with Zicasso and the travel agencies they recommend. We are never disappointed! I must say that this agency was by far the best we have experienced. The travel specialist was a delight to work with and her colleague put together amazing details. She called us every day to check in and had her colleague do the same when she was away. They were attentive to every detail and made the trip such a pleasure. We will definitely use them again. I highly, highly recommend!

Austria, Germany Tour Review: Vienna, Munich, Salzburg, Neuschwanstein Castle, Christmas Markets, 'Sound of Music' Experience, 1 Week

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.

Finland, Germany Trip Review: 2 Weeks

It was a fantastic trip! We had enough to do in every location, but still enough free time to explore on our own. I do wish we had been given a bit more detail on some of the tours; we were surprised a few times. It did not negatively impact us, but it would have been nice to be more prepared.
