Travel Review: Tour of Italy, Florence, Tuscany, Rome, Sorrento, Venice, Capri, Art & Architecture

I was impressed with this travel agency before we ever embarked on this fabulous adventure. Their questions regarding itinerary preferences helped my husband and me sort out with greater clarity where and how we'd like to spend our time. The agent's patient responses to my many questions were helpful and reassuring. The comprehensive day by day itinerary that we received several weeks before departure describing each activity, with the meeting points, contact information in case of difficulties, and necessary vouchers told me they'd put considerable effort into vetting their sources and preparing the itinerary.  It was both exciting and reassuring to know how our trip would unfold from one day to the next.  Further, the travel company's allocation of how much time we spent in each of the four areas we visited was excellent. For someone who had neither the time nor the insight to prepare our own itinerary, this travel company was the way to go!

The way each day was scheduled combining guided events balanced with free time gave us ample opportunity for professional orientation to each city/area of Italy as well as a chance to explore further on our own. Each of the guides was  clearly well-versed in their respective topics. They were warm and welcoming and obviously passionate about their tour.  None of them faltered a moment in answering my off-beat questions, confirming the breadth of their knowledge. We also appreciated the small group approach and VIP access to key sites. These were key components in our selection of this company. 

Accommodations were lovely and comfortable, and the proprietors and staff of each venue were also very helpful. Overall, I'm delighted to have discovered Zicasso and this travel company and highly recommend both!
