The recommended excursions and private guides that accompanied them were excellent. Excellent organizational planning and travel logistics by Zicasso's travel company. Destination book is an extremely valuable tool for organizing, managing, and storing travel docs, tickets, passes, map directions, and contact information. It really made things easy!
The hotel selections were very good and well located. We would have preferred a slightly larger room in Vienna and Luzern; however, they were clean and efficient, with excellent staff. The dinner suggestions that we did follow were very good.
Our travel specialist was great to work with, had it dialed in. We look forward to working with the travel companty's team for our next trip to northern Europe.
Thank you.

Our group of 12 recently completed an unforgettable nine-day customized tour of Germany, staying in three cities and covering seven different cities, and we highly recommend this Zicasso travel company. From the initial planning stages to our final day, the trip was amazing, filled with all the adventures we asked for and much more.
What made the trip exceptional was the company owner accompanied us throughout the entire journey. Having him there as our personal tour director, translator, concierge, and new friend, ensured that everything ran like clockwork. The transfers were seamless, the private driver was excellent, and the local guides arranged for us in each city were incredibly knowledgeable and engaging.
If you are looking for a high-end, stress-free, and deeply personalized travel experience, look no further. Thank you for an incredible nine days!
Comments from fellow travelers:
"The company owner was very personable and knowledgeable, and each day was a great experience. What a wonderful trip.” Fondly, Teri K.
“The wine tour was our favorite as the wine was delicious and the winery owner most pleasant. His wine is so successful he has a vending machine of his wines on the road! There is no place in America that has this! Our tour guide, the owner of the travel company, was able to translate some of the conversation, which was most helpful. I highly recommend touring this winery and booking your travels through this company.” Jenny and Dennis W.
“We really enjoyed the miniature museum in Hamburg, especially the behind-the-scenes tour! The best hotel was in Berlin. All the guides were personable, knowledgeable, and good to answer questions. Thanks! We had a wonderful trip with you all!” Pam and Kevin S.
“We appreciated the company owner being there every step of the way. Coordinating the tour guides in the cities and helping to interpret when needed at the wine tasting.” Wendy and Larry A.
“Yes! We loved the hotel and dinner for our anniversary! Also appreciated the shift to the winery since the river cruise was cut short, and that he made the reservation for the brewery, with the hotel being so busy.” Dan and Kathy M.
“I had a wonderful time. Let’s do it again.” Robert K.

We had a fantastic trip through Croatia, Montenegro, and Slovenia, traveling from Dubrovnik to Hvar, Split, Plitvice Lakes, Rovinj, and Ljubljana, with day trips into Montenegro and other parts of Slovenia along the way.
Zicasso's travel company did an amazing job of helping us create the trip we wanted. From the beginning, they listened to our ideas, made suggestions, and worked with us as our plans evolved. Our travel specialist got everything started, another helped us fine-tune the itinerary and make several changes, and the third was always quick to respond and help while we were traveling.
Everything was seamlessly coordinated. We loved the hotels and excursions they selected, and the private drivers and tour guides added so much to the experience. Just as important was knowing that the company was only a message away if we had a question or needed anything while traveling. That kind of support gave us peace of mind and allowed us to simply enjoy the trip.
I’ve already recommended Zicasso and this travel company to others and will absolutely look to Zicasso when we’re ready to plan our next adventure.
