Rhodes Vacations, Tours & Itineraries

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!!!!

The itinerary is not the best for the price we paid and for a family with two children. We thought we could come back to Greece, but after this trip, we might not come back or even use Zicasso again. Here are the reasons: 1. The hotels are subpar for the price we paid for this tour. Our hotel in Athens felt like a 2-star. Our hotel in Santorini has a great view, but it's just a view, no pool, etc. nearby. Our hotel in Crete is not near a beach, a 20-minute walk. 2. Too much time was wasted on travel from one location to the next (Santorini to Crete and Crete to Athens). 3. Four nights in Santorini with two children is overkill since there is not much to do other than take photos, hike, and that's basically it. 4. Some of the tours are okay but nothing special, i.e., the hiking tour in Crete where they call the "little forest" is merely just for the name. It has nothing to do with the tour guides. All tour guides are great. However, we feel the tour company is crafting ordinary tours, labels it special, and calls it private. 5. In Delphi, we could have had more time to look around after the two hours. If any of the tours were great, it was the tours we had in Athens and Delphi. If we had known this type of tour we received, we could have done an all-inclusive resort in Greece and done our own without having to go through Zicasso and the tour company.

We had a wonderful time in Greece. We spent 10 days there and went to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini. The accommodations were great and the planned excursions were fantastic. The weather was perfect.

We don't usually use travel companies or agents to plan our travel itineraries or set up our accommodations and transportation. However, when my wife and I wanted to arrange for a family trip to Greece with our three adult children and one of their significant others, we decided to use Zicasso’s travel company to do the planning and arrangements for us. And we were not disappointed!

The travel company listened to our list of needs, likes, dislikes, and our budget, and prepared an itinerary that included visits to Athens, Santorini, and Crete. After a few iterations, they arranged for all of our accommodations, airport/ferry transfers, activities, and needed transportation, as well as dinner reservations, yet left room for downtime and our own exploration.

All of the accommodations were five-star and the local guides for the activities and tours they set up were friendly and knowledgeable. When we had questions on the ground, the tour company always had someone available locally to answer questions or help make other arrangements.

Overall, we had a spectacular and memorable family vacation and highly recommend this travel company for planning a trip to Greece. I only hope we can go back and do some more exploring of this wonderful country (especially Crete) in the future!

Our group consisted of travelers with extensive experiences with group and private travel operators. We enjoyed our travels - especially the Minoan tours and scenery in Epirus.

However, the trip planning and coordination were less than ideal.

A free day was scheduled on a day when important museums were closed.

On the Easter holiday we were in a town with only closed restaurants, and we needed to buy food in a grocery to be cooked in our unit.

The transfers and tours in Rhodes often came late requiring phone calls.

Two tours in Rhodes were duplicative. The guides were knowledgeable but not great. One better tour would have been preferred.

The itinerary missed some important museums and monasteries.

On each of the islands, we would have preferred one fewer night each.
