Greece Tour Review: Naxos, Paros, Santorini, Catamaran,...

Zicasso's tour planner organized a fantastic trip with my ideas. She listened, gave us enough free time, and organized the ferry and domestic flights wonderfully. The guides were professional, informative, and so friendly and kind. The accommodations were in great locations. We felt well taken care of with communications open. It was a lovely, smooth trip, with no hiccups!

Greece Vacation Review: 7-Day Tour

This was the best experience. Everyone employed or contracted by Zicasso's tour company was wonderful. I will be back and use them again.

Greece Trip Review: Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Acropolis,...

Overall, we had an awesome experience. The communication through this forum was easy to use. We would highly recommend Zicasso and its tour partner for anyone's travel needs. The excursions were all well planned and went smoothly. I think the first one on the day we arrived was a little less enjoyable due to the fact that we had just flown in that day and had such a long flight.

The next day, on the trip to the Acropolis, the tour and guide were also great; however, the car trip part of that was less so. We could have done it without the car part, as the kids and I slept during part of it. I enjoyed the museum tours, but felt like we missed a good bit of exhibits by being with a tour guide. I guess if we had been on our own we could have seen more, but wouldn't have had the commentary and information from the guide.

The transfers from Athens to Mykonos and then Mykonos to Santorini and then back to Athens had no issues. Communication through WhatsApp was good as well. Issues and/or questions were addressed quickly.

We had a great time. Zicasso's travel consultant was truly exceptional. He was patient, kind, and had a wealth of information about the areas we visited, as well as shared interesting tidbits about the areas we drove through. I can’t say enough good things about him! We enjoyed most of the tour guides and found them to be dynamic and highly informative.
