Tuscany Travel Guide

Picturesque rolling hills, terraced vineyards, and pebbled streets lined with cypress trees create the celebrated image of Tuscany. Medieval towns with soaring towers and cobblestone streets crown the bluffs, while beautiful estates offer samples of historic wines and luscious olive oils. The Renaissance takes on life among the museum galleries and preserved palaces, while hidden corners of the region retain their beauty through national parks and Unesco statuses. Our Tuscany Travel Guide has more information on how to enjoy the combination of expected wonders and surprising treasures during your trip.

Italy Trip Review: Rome, Milan, Venice, Lake Como, 1 Week

Everything went perfectly. We had such a good time. All our tour guides were expert historians. All the car pick-ups and trains went smoothly. We added a last-minute tour in another city and Zicasso's travel specialists were so accommodating. I highly recommend them.

Italy Vacation Review: Florence, Tuscany, Umbria, Local Cuisine, Museums, 14-Day Trip

My wife and I recently returned from our first trip to Italy and want to highly recommend Zicasso's travel specialist and her company for creating the perfect vacation for us. It was a two-month process of back and forth, but no matter what we asked of her, she delivered several options.

We had a perfect mix of historical Florence and its museums, and wonderful restaurants, and the Tuscany and Umbria countryside experience. And on our first day, when our flight into Florence got diverted to Milan, we had the peace of mind that our travel specialist was there to help with her much appreciated support.

From start to finish, this was an amazing trip! All the accommodations were excellent, the tour guides were knowledgeable and engaging, our drivers were friendly and helpful, and the experiences (walking food tours, cooking class, wine tastings) were just what we wanted!

We loved our itinerary! We gave the locations we wanted to visit to Zicasso’s tour operator and they fit everything in. They were with us every step of the way and listened to feedback about any adjustments, and stayed within budget.
