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 Travel Review: Vatican, Rome, Wine Tasting, 9 Nights

We had a wonderful experience, from planning our trip with Zicasso's travel designer to experiencing all Italy had to offer. She and her team worked with us when we needed to have them step in on hotel accommodations at our beach resort.

Italy Travel Review: Taormina, Syracuse, Catania, Militello, Ragusa, Aci Castello, Modica, Mount Etna, Private Tour, Cooking Class, Boat Ride, 9 Nights

This was a superb trip that allowed us to combine personal visits to Taormina and Syracuse with a pre-planned group meeting in Catania. Planning and communication were excellent, supported by an app that let us easily view our itinerary, complete with phone numbers for the drivers, hotels, and the tour operator contacts.

The hotels were perfect! They were wonderfully located, with impeccable service in Taormina and Syracuse. Our excursions were private and diverse, and allowed us to combine culture, foodie interests, and free time. The guides were top-notch, knowledgeable, and flexible.

We especially loved seeing the smaller towns of Sicily; Militello, Ragusa, Aci Castello, and Modica. We even arrived in one small town during their annual festival.

We had a dedicated driver for our trip who was, himself, a treasure; always on time, always ready to adjust to changes, and a delightful personality.

This was such a good experience that we have selected Zicasso's tour operator to book another Italy trip next year.

Italy Vacation Review: Tuscany, Cooking Class, 4 Nights

This was a girls' trip of a lifetime! It was perfect from the start of planning until the end of the trip. Zicasso's travel experts were so flexible in planning and giving options. The experiences were all so unique, special, and local. We would never have been able to create this on our own. Also, during the trip, they were available 24/7 for any recommendations or help. I cannot say enough good things! This is my second time using Zicasso and I have told all my friends!

Italy Vacation Review: Capri, Villa Jovis, Rome, Palatine Hill, Roman Forum, Colosseum, 2 Weeks

This was the trip of a lifetime! We can't recommend Zicasso's travel designer and her team highly enough. The hotels, tour guides, and drivers she selected for us were all fantastic. We look forward to working with her upon our return to Italy, which we hope will be sooner rather than later. Don't hesitate to contact her!

Italy Travel Review: Ortisei, Venice, 12 Nights

Working with Zicasso's travel consultant was easy and seamless. Every guide and driver she scheduled showed up on time (or early) and they were extremely pleasant individuals, with lots of local knowledge. The hotel recommendations were also excellent! I would highly recommend working with her and the tour company!
