Mediterranean Travel Agents & Reviews

The trip was marvelous and our various tour guides and accommodations could not have been better. At various times during our trip we contacted our Zicasso agent asking for assistance, such as keeping our ceramic meninas while we walked the El Camino and booking an additional tour for us on the spur of the moment. He was always available to accommodate our requests.

This was our third trip using Zicasso to assist us and am in the process of working with them for another next year. I am so very pleased to have discovered their services. I continue to recommend them to others, who have taken my advice and are now also using them.

Our trip was amazing. Zicasso’s travel team provided excellent accommodations and resources for us. All our excursions were top-notch. Last minute, they even added a wheelchair to the mix. I would highly recommend them.

I can't say enough amazing things about working with Zicasso's travel partners! They met and exceeded all of our expectations as they helped my wife and I plan our dream honeymoon to London and Croatia in June. They were there every step of the way and left no stone unturned regarding coordination, communication, and execution. From the beginning, their team asked thoughtful and in-depth questions to really learn about the things we would like to do, while giving their honest opinion on any idea we had. All of their third-party travel partners, who assisted us along the way in each location, were also amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning their next trip, as we plan to use them for all future travel. Thank you!

My husband and I recently traveled to Italy for the first time. We wanted it to be a trip of a lifetime with as little stress as possible. We wanted to stay in beautiful hotels close to everything as my husband has some physical limitations. We wanted it to be comparable in price to other tours we were researching.

We wanted a lot.

I learned about our travel company from a Zicasso ad in the New York Times. We feel so lucky to have found this incredible company. They were able to, literally, check all of our boxes and give us everything we wanted and needed for our beautiful trip.

Preplanning was key. The personalized collaborative planning started with a personal conversation with the owner on Zoom. He collected much information about our interests, goals for the trip, physical needs, and budgetary constraints. His team then created a beautiful itinerary, with many choices of hotels and VIP tours. It was so much fun to do research and make the choices that began to shape our once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Our travel concierge offered advice and recommendations, and answered the many questions we had throughout the planning process, until we came up with our final itinerary. Designing a trip with an expert in the field was fun and well worth it!!

Once in Italy, the attention to every detail made our experience simply extraordinary. From the moment we got off the plane, we were seamlessly guided and transported throughout the week by drivers and guides. We never had to worry about how we would get anywhere, which enabled us to fully focus our attention on all the beautiful locations and culture of Italy.

Choosing some guided tours was well worth it too. There is so much history and culture in Italy it is mind boggling. Our guides were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend going to the Vatican in Rome, Orvieto in Tuscany, and Pompeii in Sorrento.

We highly recommend our travel company to anyone who plans to go to Italy. Just one more question for our agent. Now that we have fallen in love with Italy, where to next?

From the very beginning, Zicasso’s tour operator was very attentive to our travel desires and created the perfect plan for us. She kept us updated on the details as we planned a year in advance of our trip. Her knowledge of the hotels, restaurants, and tours available was invaluable. We are so grateful for her guidance.

Our recent trip to Venice, Slovenia, and Croatia was fantastic. The itinerary set up for us (four adults) by Zicasso's travel partner flowed seamlessly. Each of the drivers we had to take us to our various destinations was professional, prompt, and helpful. The cars – or actually minivans – were clean, comfortable, and roomy. We liked all of the hotels, but particularly the hotels in Bled, Rovinj, and Split. These three hotels each had spectacular settings, as well as very helpful and accommodating staff members.

The real “stars” of our trip, however, were the tour guides! They all were outstanding! They were friendly, professional, and possessed a depth of knowledge. Each woman was a resident of the local area and very passionate about their city/country and happy to share historical information, as well as personal stories about their hometowns!

We also would like to recognize one of our agents from the travel office. She came through for us when we had to reschedule a flight at the last minute and, therefore, had to change the transfer time from our hotel to the airport. We made a quick call to her and she was able to get a driver to our hotel in an hour!

The accommodations were very nice, and were all located within walking distance to all of the venues, Eiffel Tower, museums ,etc that we wanted to visit.  Paris- the Musee d' Orsay was a most wonderful Art Museum.  The building was magnificent, and the traffic pattern was such that it was easy to see only the venues that was interesting to me.  The Louve was a nightmare to try find stairs to get to any area of interest.  Seeing the Mona Lisa was a highlight however.Venice - was amazing.  So nice to have only foot traffic through all of the alleyways, and the gondola ride through all of the waterways was magnificent. Florence - I loved seeing David by Michelangelo, and all of his partially finished sculptures, and the narrative by the guide was great.  Loved seeing the Venus de Milo, The Birth of Venus, etc.However, the Uffizi art museum was 2/3 under construction and a complete waste of effort.  The Accademia was great.The day long trip from Florence to the coastal towns of Cinque de Terra was very well done.  Great driver full of information.  Beautiful scenery.  Delicious fish and pasta lunch.  The boat couldn't dock, so we had more train rides and walking than normal.  I am 80 years old, and should have stopped for some sustenance in the afternoon.  We walked 14000 steps that day up and down the hilled towns.  I almost ran out of gas in the afternoon.  You might warn people to bring water and a snack in the afternoon for energy.All in all I would not change many things on our trip.  Thank you!
