Greece Trip Review: Athens, Naxos, Crete, Chania, Acropolis,...

Zicasso's travel agent was an awesome partner to work with for our group. We had 12 people traveling from five US states. She listened to our goals and interests, and designed a great trip.

We had experiences that included a catamaran cruise with a wonderful crew who made a delicious lunch, a cultural and food tour in Chania, Crete, a wonderful rustic meal that included cooking lessons, and much more.

She arranged pick-up and transfers, and the hotels she selected were excellent. Three of our group experienced a lengthy flight delay getting to Greece and she got the flights rearranged and they made it to Naxos. I highly recommend using this tour agency.

Greece Vacation Review: Santorini, Naxos, Acropolis, Private...

Zicasso's trip coordinator planned everything perfectly to make our trip among the best we have ever taken. From our first conversation, she really listened to what was important to us and her suggestions were spot on. I was especially concerned because my granddaughter has life-threatening allergies and she made sure everyone was well aware.

The accommodations were first-class; the tours were fun and entertaining; the transportation was precisely right; and her suggestions about things to do on our own were fantastic! She was readily available via call and text for questions in real time. I would recommend her without hesitation and hope to work with her on future trips.

Greece Tour Review: Athens, Naxos, Santorini, 9 Nights

From start to finish, our experience with Zicasso's travel expert was top-notch! To date, it was the best trip we have taken. After talking to our agent on the phone to get what type of trip we were looking for, she put together an itinerary that suited us perfectly. Our trip included Athens, Naxos, and Santorini. All of our vehicle transportation, in-country flights, ferries, hotels, and tour guides were planned out for us. All we had to do was show up. We enjoyed all the tours planned out for us and it kept us from wandering unknowingly into the tourist traps. I can't express enough what a wonderful experience we had, thanks to our agent's expertise. The trip was absolutely seamless!

Greece Trip Review: Milos, Paros, Naxos, Antiparos, Private...

We would highly recommend Zicasso's travel company to manage your vacation in Greece.

Communication from beginning to end was excellent. They sent us the itinerary and were quick to respond to our requested changes. An app was provided that helped us track our daily activities, as well as background on the areas we were visiting and some historical information about each visit.

They provided us with a WhatsApp contact so we could reach them at any point during our trip. This proved to be very helpful when we found ourselves stranded in Greece due to a flight cancelation! They were quick to find us accommodations and transportation, and did it with friendly and calming reassurance.

In addition to great communication, the itinerary and excursions were perfect for us! They balanced beach time and self-discovery time with immersive experiences ranging from sailing to food to village visits. They really listened to what we wanted to do and our experience in Greece (specifically, Milos, Paros and Naxos) was excellent. We look forward to returning to Greece some day and working with them again!

Greece Tour Review: Knossos, Chania, Rethymno, 9 Nights

Zicasso's trip planner was absolutely amazing. She took our ideas and made them even better. The activities, hotels, and experiences we had were absolutely perfect for our seasoned group of travelers. The guides were knowledgeable and spoke English really well. You haven’t experienced Knossos until you have experienced it with one of this trip planner's guides.
