South Africa Vacation Review: Cape Town, Kruger National...

The trip was absolutely spectacular and exceeded all expectations! It was well thought out, to the point where neither one of us had to think about anything! We were able to just enjoy the beauty of Africa and the excitement of the trip without worry of who was going to pick us up or how we were going to get to our next spot.

The guides and hotel staff could not have been more wonderful. They were extremely kind and communicative, and made us feel incredibly comfortable. We can't thank Zicasso's travel company enough for putting together the trip of a lifetime!

Italy Tour Review: Pompeii, Capri, 10-Day Trip

The trip was wonderful. Zicasso's travel agent and her staff planned the perfect 10-day trip. The accommodations, the drivers, the guides, and the restaurant recommendations were perfect. The communication was excellent and timely. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. The staff were very attentive and flexible, even when we wanted some small changes, such as pick-up times for the drivers. They adapted and made it all work. This travel agent is absolutely terrific.

Italy Vacation Review: Tuscany, Siena, Rome, Amalfi, Capri,...

Our Italy trip with Zicasso’s travel partner was nothing short of spectacular! Referred by a friend who had an amazing experience, we decided to give it a try and were not disappointed. Our agent was fantastic, always ready with answers to our questions and providing excellent support throughout our journey.

In Tuscany, we visited beautiful wineries and enjoyed a delightful lunch with the vintners, who were incredibly warm and welcoming. Her attention to detail was evident when she adjusted our plans due to weather changes and even checked in on us when we were slightly delayed for a tour.

Siena was breathtaking and our hotel in Rome was perfectly located, allowing us to walk to all the major sites. One of the highlights was a small boat tour around Capri from Amalfi—perfect weather and stunning waters made it unforgettable. The cooking class on the Amalfi Coast, set on the side of a cliff, was exceptional and having personal tours just for the two of us was an unexpected and delightful bonus.

We can't express enough how much we enjoyed our Italy trip. The travel partner exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend them for a truly memorable experience!

We would strongly recommend them for a trip to Italy!
