Matthew C.
Greece Travel Review: Athens, Delphi, Santorini, Historical Sites, Local Cuisine, 10 Days

Everything was planned according to the itinerary set by Zicasso’s travel specialist and experienced to full pleasure. I cannot express how great of a time I had in Greece, even during the off-season.

Greece Travel Review: Naxos, Santorini, Athens, 11-Day Trip

Our trip was incredible! We were so impressed with the professionalism of Zicasso’s travel agent and the guides we had during our tours. Greece has been a long-dreamed-of destination and our time in Naxos, Santorini, and Athens exceeded our expectations. It was an easy process to give some guidance on what we liked to do and have a curated trip for our preferences. We would recommend the travel company to anyone needing help planning a trip!

Judith W.
Greece Travel Review: Olive Grove, Local Cuisine, 1 Week

We highly recommend Zicasso’s tour operator. They were able to plan a tour for us around the dates we had available. They listened to what we were looking for in our travels and everything was spot-on. Many highlights were unanticipated. Everything was perfect, from our driver to our tour guides and our stay at an olive grove estate. We could not have asked for more. We will definitely use the travel company again.

Valerie H.
Greece Solo Tour Review: Naxos, Athens, Apiary Visit, Acropolis, Cheese Making, Hiking, Cooking Class, 1 Week

If I could give 10 stars, I would. As an older woman traveling alone, I felt completely comfortable and well cared for throughout the trip, as if I were part of the family of the team at Zicasso's travel company. Every single detail of the complex and densely packed five days in Naxos and four in Athens unfolded perfectly. The travel specialist personally knew a number of the guides, drivers, and restaurateurs, and all spoke glowingly of this travel company.

From sharing honey with bees at a tiny apiary to touring the Acropolis with an archaeologist, to squeezing the whey out of cheese at a family farm and meeting the goats who provided the milk, to hiking from village to village with a guide who knew the name and medicinal use of every plant we passed, to learning to make phyllo dough, it was simply terrific! If you're thinking of visiting Greece, connect with this travel company and enjoy the trip of a lifetime.

Greece Vacation Review: Crete, Chania, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Spinalonga, Elafonisi Beach, Hiking, 20-Day Trip

We have used Zicasso twice to find local travel agents in Greece. Two different trips, the first to island hop and the second to concentrate on Crete. Both agencies we ended up working with were excellent! We could not have been more pleased.
