Five stars are not enough! From the moment we connected, Zicasso's travel agency curated the perfect trip from start to finish. It was almost as if they knew the ins and outs of my family and our desires; they knocked it out of the park.
Traveling with two teenage girls, accommodations were important to us. Our hotel choices were perfect, spacious, and centrally located. Every tour was perfect, curated, and personal.
As first-time international travelers, we were a bit anxious. We were constantly supported by the travel company, getting our questions answered immediately at all times of the day or night. We had the trip of our dreams and could not have done it without this amazing agency.
Our travel agent was a delight, a mind reader and a consummate professional. The most sincere appreciation to all on this stellar team. I will shout this agency's name to everyone I know planning a trip. Thank you!

The trip was simply incredible! When I shared with Zicasso’s travel company that I was looking for a trip that combined sightseeing with relaxation, they listened! They planned an incredible trip, with exceptional attention to detail. Nothing was overlooked.
From our driver in Athens to our guides who showed us the archaeological sites and gave us an unforgettable food experience to our incredible driver in Milos!
