We had an absolutely amazing trip, thanks to Zicasso's travel agent and the rest of the team at the tour company. They listened carefully to what we wanted and created a perfect itinerary for us: Athens to Corfu to Santorini. They took all of the stress out of our trip and allowed us to completely relax and enjoy ourselves.
They handled booking accommodations, dining reservations, transportation, and all activities for us, and provided a detailed itinerary that had all of the information we needed. I cannot recommend the travel company enough and we will certainly be using them next time we vacation in Greece or another location they service. Thank you!

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.
