Reviews of Zicasso's Italy Tours and Vacation Packages
Based on 6659 verified traveler reviews.
The trip was fabulous. The only negative was the heat and I don't think you control that. We had a few small hiccups, but the support team was on top of them each time. Very professional and on top of things.
We had five guides on this trip and each was fantastic. Our guides in London, France, and Italy were all wonderful. Their English was good and their stories and context were wonderful.
The hotels were good. We all liked the one in Rome the best, but all were good.
My family had a fabulous time and I would recommend Zicasso's travel company highly and use them in the future.

We cannot recommend Zicasso's travel company enough!! Our family just got back from a two-week trip to Italy (starting in Venice, then Florence, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast). Our travel specialists did an incredible job planning our trip and it was an experience of a lifetime!! We had the best time in every city!
Everything was seamless, from the events and tours we had planned to the transportation from city to city. What we loved most was how our tour guides were all natives of the areas we were visiting, so they offered unique perspectives on every part of Italy. Also, our travel specialists, being local to Italy, helped us plan some really special things to do (walking wine-window tour, bike ride in Tuscany, boat taxi to Burano to visit the small town where lace is still being made, and a Capri boat tour). All of our guides were English-speaking and absolutely wonderful!
We had frequent communication with our travel specialists regarding scheduled plans and if we had questions, they were readily available via WhatsApp.
I also turned 55 while on vacation and our travel specialists were kind enough to send Prosecco, wine, and some wonderful Italian snacks to our room. This was, by far, the best family vacation we have ever taken and we will definitely be vacationing with them in the future. If you're considering vacationing with this travel company, don't hesitate! They are fabulous and leave no stone unturned to make sure you have the best experience possible!!!

Every part of the experience was handled with professionalism. The communication was excellent, everyone was punctual, and the customer service was outstanding. Whenever we had a question or needed assistance, they responded quickly and made sure everything was taken care of.
The entire trip was well organized and we always felt prepared and supported. I would highly recommend Zicasso to anyone looking for a professionally planned, personalized, and stress-free vacation.

Generally, a great trip and well organized. I shared my expectations and I would only adjust a few small things. Overall, I was very happy with the services and support received from Zicasso's travel specialist.

We had a short but action-packed week: three nights in Rome and four nights in Paris. Our Zicasso travel specialist was terrific to work with, very responsive in planning and execution. Accommodations, guides, and activities were all first class and well balanced. We saw all the appropriate sites (Vatican, Colosseum, Louvre, Versailles, Eiffel Tower) and had some great alternative activities (Vespa sidecar tour, cooking and bakery classes, Paris sewer tour!). VIP service at the airports was a game changer. We'll be back.
