Germany Vacation Review: Munich, Rothenburg, Bayreuth, Mainz,...

We took an unusual, self-guided trip from Munich to Norderney and back, tracing our family roots. It was a wonderful time! The accommodations arranged by Zicasso's travel agency were excellent. We had good communication with our agent throughout. He added personal transportation to and from the Munich airport. Overall, we found Germany to be a wonderful country and the agency to be a good company to deal with.

Germany, Switzerland Travel Review: Meersburg, Freiburg,...

From the moment we landed in Germany to the moment we left, the trip was incredibly well planned and tailored specifically to what we were interested in, but with the expert knowledge of Zicasso's travel agent and our tour operator to guide us toward our best possible experience.

DO IAfter receiving the initial itinerary proposal from him, we had a helpful phone conversation to talk about our family "must-do's." The itinerary was adjusted accordingly and was perfect. Every day had a memorable experience and everything went smoothly!

I cannot recommend this tour company any higher. If you are considering working with our travel agent and his colleague, do it. I am already trying to determine when we can return to Germany and work with them to plan our Germany vacation (part two)!

Germany, Austria Vacation Review: Berlin, History, 8 Nights...

We had a fantastic trip to Germany and Austria. Zicasso's travel partner arranged the trip for us and everything went perfectly. I can't speak highly enough of her and her skills at arranging a perfect vacation for our family of four. She was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions, and gave good advice on what to see and concentrate on in Germany. I enthusiastically recommend this agency to anyone interested in touring Europe.

Germany Tour Review: 12 Nights

We just returned from one of the most fabulous trips we have ever taken. I lived in Germany back in the 80s and wanted to share some of the most beautiful areas with my husband.

We were most fortunate to come in contact with Zicasso's travel expert. After our initial phone call with her, we knew this would be a great trip.

We had several phone calls and emails with her and her colleagues to talk about the trip in general. With each phone call and with their recommendations, we would get more and more excited about our trip.

When we arrived in Germany, waiting in our hotel room was a beautiful book of our itinerary. All we had to do was go page by page each day. Each page included details of what we would be doing for that day, along with tickets (if needed) for events, brochures, and all details for that day. Also included was a phone for us to use while in Germany. They had pre-programmed contact numbers of anyone from the agency we might need to contact, phone numbers of our tour guides, GPS, a digital copy of our itinerary, hotel contacts, etc. They were available to us 24/7 for any needs or concerns. The agency also checked with us throughout the trip to make sure things were going well. Their tour guides in the various cities were very knowledgeable, personable, and very thorough with their tours. We really enjoyed them all.

This was a very memorable and wonderful trip for us. We give all the credit to our travel company for listening to us and making it happen in ways we would not have expected. This was a trip of a lifetime for us! Many thanks to all for your hard work! We would highly recommend them to anyone!
