Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Our trip could not have been more smooth, everything was in place as it should have been and follow was excellent. My consultant was easy to work with and very responsive. I thought she did a great job understanding what we are interested in and gearing activities for us. For example, she knew that my husband has a degree in art history and the one 1:1 tour that we had was in Florence and well worth the cost.

Hotels were very well located--this would have been one of the more challenging aspects to arrange not having been there before and not knowing proximity. Our hotels were very centrally located and also we could walk to the train station which was our form of transport onto the next location.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Our 1:1 tour in Florence with a super knowledgeable guide, having the owner of our hotel in Rome leave us flowers and Proseco because I told him it was our 20th wedding anniversary, support with transfers in the places where it was most helpful (Venice) and leaving things more open where it wasn't necessary.

We loved Assisi and would have spent more time there. The hotel which is a converted monastery was very tasteful, very comfortable, and peaceful, perfect for that location/setting.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I can't think of much. Since it was our first trip to Italy we wanted to get a sense of several places, which is what we got. I wouldn't spend as much time in Rome but we wanted to experience it and it was worth seeing the sites. Next time we would probably go to fewer spots and spend more time, but I'm very satisfied that we took the approach that we did.

As noted, we would have spent more time in Assisi and could have had more time in the Cinque Terre to explore.

I think three nights in any location is the minimum so it does not feel rushed.

Your overall comments on Zicasso
I was very happy with the service and ease of doing everything, and the results so no comments. The company we chose is not inexpensive, but I think in line with the other companies that we looked at. They were also good at adjusting arrangements when I said I wanted to come in at a lower overall cost.
