Greece Vacation Review: Santorini, Corfu, Crete, Athens, Syros, Wine Tasting, 18-Day Trip

We traveled to Greece in September 2025 for an 18-day trip to five locations. We went through Zicasso and were paired with the primary travel company and the local partner. I cannot express how wonderful our trip was. It was apparent that every detail was carefully tailored to meet all of our wants and needs. From the transfers to the tours, and the hotel accommodations and locations, everything about it was just perfect! Highly recommended if you want a worry-free trip.

Croatia, Montenegro Vacation Review: Split, Hvar, Dubrovnik, Korcula, Mljet, National Parks, History, Architecture, 14-Day Trip

My husband and I recently visited Croatia and Montenegro for two weeks. Our experience with the travel company and specifically our travel specialist far surpassed our expectations. We wanted to visit national parks and several islands, as well as the old towns of Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik. He was able to coordinate all we wanted to see, with limited moving around from hotel to hotel, so we didn't feel rushed. When we needed to make a couple of adjustments to our daily schedule, it was changed effortlessly.

We have been on several trips through Zicasso and the most impressive thing that sets our travel specialist apart from other travel specialists we've encountered is that he was in communication with us daily to make sure our trip was flawless. I'm looking forward to visiting Croatia again and our travel specialist will definitely be the one setting up another trip for us. Thank you again!!

Italy Travel Review: Heritage, Local Cuisine, 10 Nights

The hotels were in great locations within the city to be able to walk and see all the sites. The drivers we had were very professional and courteous. I would have liked to have a better platform to track the trip and the destinations. I have used a trip plans app before and it’s easy to use. I felt like the communication with our travel guide was minimal, but our overall trip was beautiful and memorable, and we will definitely be traveling again soon.
