The planning and execution by Zicasso's travel company were done with a lot of care and attention to detail.
The people chosen to provide various services (cab service, tour guides, etc.) were well-informed, friendly, and punctual.
The hotels chosen for the stay were comfortable and in very good locations. They were convenient for sightseeing, but also not too loud/noisy.

We had an amazing vacation and Zicasso's travel company is all to thank for this. All of our accommodations were wonderful and checked all of our boxes for romance, great service, and excellent views.

Our agent and her team were fantastic to work with and all communications were easy and very helpful. Overall, we would absolutely book another trip with this company and we will recommend this service to friends and family. Thank you!!

Zicasso's travel agent and her team were so easy to work with and very communicative. She answered all of our questions, she listened to our ideas for the trip, and offered many of her own unique ideas to make our family trip special. I would recommend her and the agency, and we would use her again if we ever have the opportunity to travel to Greece again. Her ideas of activities were unique and less "touristy," which was exactly what we loved the most about our experience. Thank you!

Wow, where do I even begin? I consider myself someone with very high expectations and Zicasso's tour planner not only met them, she exceeded them, which rarely happens. From our very first interaction to our final farewell, the communication was absolutely flawless.
She was incredibly responsive throughout every stage of the process, from planning to execution and even during the trip itself. Knowing we had someone on the ground in Greece for support gave us such peace of mind. For example, when we encountered a minor issue with the phone in our Santorini hotel room, she immediately contacted the hotel and it was fixed right away.
Every detail was handled with precision. Her professionalism, warmth, dedication, and genuine care truly shone through. She created a fairy-tale trip to Greece that we'll treasure for a lifetime and share with friends and family for years to come.
We spent 16 unforgettable days exploring Kalamata, Athens, Paros, Naxos, and Santorini. Each island transition was seamless, every private tour was fun and educational, and the entire itinerary was perfectly paced.
The drivers she arranged were always punctual, thoughtful, and friendly. In fact, the entire team she assembled was exceptional — well-coordinated, courteous, and attentive. It was truly a top-tier concierge experience.
Going forward, I can’t imagine planning a trip any other way. She has set the bar incredibly high.
