We have used Zicasso twice to find local travel agents in Greece. Two different trips, the first to island hop and the second to concentrate on Crete. Both agencies we ended up working with were excellent! We could not have been more pleased.

Greece Honeymoon Review: Paros, Santorini, Crete, Athens, Acropolis, Boat Ride, 11 Nights

If I could give them more than five stars, I would. I cannot recommend Zicasso's tour operator enough!!! Our agents were amazing and created the most perfect honeymoon for my husband and I!! We went to Paros, Santorini, Crete, and Athens and loved them all. It was amazing not to have to worry about a thing. We had zero issues and we had the best time.

We went to wonderful restaurants and beautiful hotels, had two fun boat trips, a beautiful tour throughout Kissamos, Crete, and the best tour guide for the Acropolis/Athens.

If you want an amazing trip with beautiful memories and zero worries, I would absolutely use this tour operator!!!

This trip was amazing! Zicasso's travel company took care of every detail. They created a wonderful itinerary and coordinated it seamlessly. They communicated with us all along the way; there was absolutely nothing amiss from the first day to the last.

Our accommodations were wonderful. Our guides were top-notch, incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, and all very enjoyable people. They felt like friends almost immediately! Each of them went above and beyond to make sure our experiences were everything we hoped for and more! Our drivers were attentive and professional as well.

We're seasoned travelers, but we couldn't possibly have planned and executed this trip on our own. We're so appreciative of the travel company's excellent staff and services. They created a trip that we'll remember forever.
