Florence Travel Guide
The beauty of Florence is indescribable. The Renaissance cradle boasts world-class museums, magnificent architecture, and centuries-old culinary traditions. From Michelangelo's David to the majestic Duomo, cultural riches blend with an authentic Tuscan atmosphere that includes terracotta hues, cypress scents, and locals gathering in ancient piazzas for wine and conversation under golden light. The walkable historic center houses treasures like the Uffizi Gallery, with Botticelli and Da Vinci masterpieces. Cross the Ponte Vecchio spanning the Arno and explore San Lorenzo market's vibrant energy. For hands-on experiences, try workshops in traditional Florentine crafts like leather working, paper marbling, or cooking classics.

Reviews of Zicasso's Italy Tours and Vacation Packages
Based on 5838 verified traveler reviews.
First time to the Olympics and an add-on to Switzerland! Zicasso’s travel specialist was great at listening to our needs and putting together an itinerary.
Our trip to Livigno was fantastic! The location to the two Olympic venues was ideal.
All of the details were covered and when we had a change in one of our day tours due to potential avalanches, the team at the travel company was extremely responsive and was able to adjust.
All of our transportation was well organized and on time. We also had to pivot when our flights home to the US were changed due to weather and the team quickly helped with adjustments to our schedule.
We loved the train from Italy to Switzerland.
We highly recommend this travel specialist and the travel company!

Our experience with Zicasso’s travel company was simply outstanding! Our travel specialists provided top-notch service, from the initial planning to the entirety of the trip.
They were able to secure housing for us in Livigno during the Olympics when no one else was able to do so. Responsiveness to our inquiries during the planning process was always prompt and thorough. Communication regarding the next day's agenda throughout the trip was excellent, including the contact information for our drivers and tour guides, tickets for events, and links to Google Maps, with directions, when needed. If we could give them more than five stars, we would!

We had a fabulous trip to Italy, including to Sorrento, Taormina, and Rome. Zicasso’s travel specialist made sure every detail was taken care of, including stays in beautiful, well-located hotels and excursions that were interesting and fun for our family.
For example, she arranged for an airport host to assist us with our arrival to and departure from the Rome airport, and she was simply amazing, whisking us through the airport and eliminating stress for our family.

In all respects, a well-planned and well-executed trip to London and Rome. The guides were exceptional in knowledge, kindness, and sense of humor. The best restaurant recommendation was the one in London.
