Greece Travel Review: Guides, 12 Days

Our travel company and Zicasso were truly excellent trip resources and designers of our two-week vacation to Greece. They arranged every detail. We had transportation prearranged, lodging that was extraordinary, and food that was unforgettable.

Our guides for various day tours in each location were phenomenal. They were never rushed and seemed to give us limitless time. They made arrangements for us that were not part of their paid services, just because they were so welcoming. The guides were all graduates of universities who had completed months of additional studies to become certified as guides. We learned so much from our trip about the places, but also about the culture and what it's like to actually live in Greece. Bravo!

Our trip to Greece was definitely five-star. There were very few glitches in the trip; overall, it was a very good experience.

Zicasso’s travel specialist was very helpful during the planning phase of the trip. For instance, during the planning phase, she recommended that we visit Naxos rather than Paros because she was concerned that Paxos would be partially shut down because of the timing in late October. We believe she was correct in this judgment. She was very responsive whenever we had a problem.
