Greece Trip Review: Athens, Naxos, Meteora, Santorini, Acropolis, Cooking Class, 10 Days

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.

Greece, Italy Honeymoon Review: Heraklion, Cooking Class, Olive Oil Tasting, Local Cuisine, 12-Day Trip

After planning a destination wedding, my husband and I were not looking forward to also planning our honeymoon. So we felt so fortunate to work with the lovely travel agents at Zicasso's tour operator.

Our agent and the team at the tour operator made this process so seamless and easy. We were able to clearly communicate our hopes and dreams for our honeymoon and our ideal budget, and she took that and created the most perfect itinerary. The thorough plan was perfect. We especially appreciated the 24-hour white-glove service, where we were able to ask any questions we wanted at any time and someone answered quickly.

I could not recommend them enough! We would not have had the honeymoon of our dreams without the travel company.
