Our trip to Greece was absolutely incredible! We had high hopes for a great vacation and the actual trip far exceeded our hopes.
Zicasso's travel designer planned our two-week honeymoon in Greece (Athens, Paros, Santorini, and Crete) and it was absolutely incredible! All the sites were absolutely gorgeous and the activities planned were great, with amazing tour guides. We had private pick-up and drop-off on travel days, as well as for any of the tours provided. She was very responsive to any questions we had and helped accommodate anything we wanted to change in the itinerary. Everything was meticulously planned and there were really no issues that we ran into.
All the hotels were fantastic, all of them four or five stars and within our budget. They were all beautiful and had great service in desirable locations. We would definitely utilize this travel agency again, especially our agent! We would 10/10 recommend. We made unforgettable memories on our trip, all thanks to the travel company.

Zicasso's trip coordinator and the rest of the travel company's team were amazing to work with. We had a wonderful trip. She was very helpful in booking accommodations, transfers, and activities, and even suggested restaurants in the towns we were staying in! We could not have asked for a better trip that was more curated to what we wanted to do and the types of places we wanted to stay. I highly recommend her and the travel company and would use them again (and again!).
