We had a very good trip to Greece with Zicasso's travel specialist. We traveled to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini with a group of six (three couples). They did a good job of finding nice and convenient hotels in each location, and we were also pleased with the Acropolis tour, food tours, and catamaran trip we took during the week.

Excellent! Everything was meticulously planned. All of our tours were very interesting and the drivers were courteous. We went to Athens, Naxos, and Santorini during our 11-day trip. Overall, I think our favorite place was Naxos, with Athens and the Acropolis being second, although the weather that morning was not the best. But our guide was excellent and kept us engaged while fighting rain and wind. As I mentioned, all the drivers and guides were excellent and I would highly recommend this trip. Santorini was beautiful too and the wine tour was extremely interesting. We highly recommend Zicasso.

Overall, we had an absolutely amazing trip to Greece and Croatia to celebrate our postponed honeymoon. Zicasso’s travel specialist was a joy to work with. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she really tried to get to know us as a couple to better plan the perfect trip!
Once we arrived in Europe, she checked in with us via WhatsApp every day, making sure our travels were going to plan and we were enjoying our time. We traveled to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini in Greece, and Dubrovnik, Split, and Krka National Park in Croatia. Our trip was filled with history, nature, crystal-clear waters, private tours, and lots of adventure.

I originally reached out to Zicasso to find a travel agent to handle our two-week trip to Greece. Zicasso provided me with three travel company options and, after speaking with each, I decided to work with this travel company. The travel specialist turned out to be the best decision I could have made.
Our travel specialist and the travel company team were absolutely amazing and thorough. We planned the trip for me, my wife, brother, and sister-in-law. Every step of the planning process was informative and the travel specialist gave us her best advice leading up to the trip. She answered many of our questions and researched the things we wanted to do while in Greece.
Once we were on the trip, we communicated almost daily with the travel specialist and she remained readily available. She was extremely responsive. It was always a relief during transfer pick-ups to see the travel company’s signs, so we knew who to connect with.
Our two-week Greece adventure through Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete was perfect, and we could tell that the work the travel specialist and the team put in ensured that success. This was a vacation dream of a lifetime, thanks to the travel specialist, the travel company, and Zicasso.
Kudos to Zicasso for recommending the travel company at the beginning and I would highly recommend Zicasso and our travel company to anyone interested in traveling to Greece.
Gratitude and appreciation to all for a trip we will never forget!!!!

We loved our trip! My recent trip to Greece was truly unforgettable and I cannot say enough good things about the Zicasso travel company that helped make it happen.
From the moment we arrived in Athens until our final day, every detail was thoughtfully planned and organized. The itinerary was the perfect balance of sightseeing, relaxation, and experiencing the local culture. We visited incredible destinations, including Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, and each stop offered something unique and memorable.
The accommodations were excellent, transportation between islands was seamless, and the recommendations for restaurants, activities, and attractions were outstanding. Having everything arranged ahead of time allowed us to fully enjoy the experience without worrying about logistics.
One of the things I appreciated most was how responsive and helpful the team was throughout the planning process. They made the trip feel personalized to our interests and ensured everything ran smoothly.
Greece exceeded every expectation and I am so grateful for the expertise and attention to detail that went into planning this adventure. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a stress-free, well-organized, and unforgettable travel experience. We made memories that will last a lifetime!

If you're considering a trip to Greece, look no further than Zicasso. Our travel expert planned an unforgettable journey for our family; Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, and every detail was executed with care, expertise, and passion.
From the moment we arrived in Athens, we were immersed in the country’s warm hospitality. Our agent made sure we had the perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. The historical sites in Athens, like the Acropolis and the ancient Agora, were must-sees.
Mykonos is vibrant yet relaxed. The beaches were beautiful. Every meal on this trip was a highlight. Fresh seafood, local cheeses, olive oil, and delicious pastries—each bite told a story of Greece’s deep culinary heritage.
In Santorini, we were captivated by the island’s charm—whitewashed buildings, breathtaking sunsets, and the deep blue Aegean Sea. We visited traditional villages, giving us a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions that are still very much alive.
Throughout the trip, what stood out most—beyond the stunning landscapes and ancient history—was the friendliness of the Greek people. Their warmth and pride in their culture made every moment feel welcoming and genuine.
Our agent didn’t just plan a vacation—he created an experience rooted in history, tradition, and hospitality. I can’t recommend him and Zicasso highly enough.
