Switzerland Travel Review: Zermatt, Zurich, 10-Night Trip

Zicasso’s travel company was great. Invariably, there are always hiccups on every trip, but the travel company worked very hard to rectify any issues. The itinerary they put together was perfect for our family and met everyone’s needs. The only thing I would recommend for future clients is that the timelines were pretty tight, so we were not always able to experience each place as much as we would have liked because transit times ended up being longer than what was listed in the itinerary.

For travelers, something to keep in mind when traveling in Switzerland in the winter is the shortened daylight hours and many shops and restaurants being closed throughout the holiday season.

One of the best decisions we made was to buy first-class rail passes, as the second-class cars were very busy, which would have been especially difficult on days when we were shuttling luggage from one city to the next. I would also recommend pre-booking seats on trains from Zermatt to Zurich after New Year’s, as we had to sit in a stairwell because there were no seats left.

Switzerland Travel Review: St. Moritz, Zermatt, Grindelwald, Skiing, Ice Climbing, Winter Activities, 2-Week Trip

Zicasso’s travel company planned an amazing vacation for our family of five. Despite our late planning to go to Switzerland, they found us great accommodations in favorable locations and planned a two-week schedule that enabled us to see the sights and participate in varied winter activities, while leaving us the flexibility to determine what we wanted to do each day. It was a stress-free, adventurous family vacation.

Our trip to France and Switzerland was wonderful. Zicasso’s travel company did a fantastic job making sure our trip was everything we asked for. We got to experience the local culture and tour some beautiful places.

Switzerland Travel Review: Mount Rigi, Mount Pilatus, Interlaken, 9 Nights

Zicasso's travel specialist listened to our interests and produced a great itinerary.

We visited very good restaurants and received hotel recommendations.

We had an active trip with lots of logistics and their planning/bookings were right on.

They checked in with us just enough during the trip for it to feel like they cared, but weren’t overbearing.

Pleasant and responsive.

Switzerland Travel Review: Scenery, 1-Week Trip

I had such a great experience working with Zicasso’s travel specialist. From our very first email to the last detail, she listened to what I was hoping for and paid attention to every little aspect. She took the time to understand our travel style and needs. The travel specialist made thoughtful suggestions that fit into our travel plans and gave us insight on many things we would never have considered. From the start, she was organized, timely, and clear, and always made communications easy. Her professionalism and kindness made planning our trip to Switzerland a joy and not a chore. I truly appreciate her efforts and look forward to working with her again.

Zicasso's travel agency and staff were nothing short of amazing! Their details, knowledge, and strategic planning throughout our honeymoon made for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Any question my wife or I had, they were quick to respond, while also being incredibly kind, polite, and thorough. I have nothing but positive things to say! We had so much fun as we explored these two countries. We can’t wait to use them for our next overseas vacation! There’s no doubt in my mind that we will!
