Greece Travel Review: Athens, Santorini, Naxos, Parthenon, Caldera Hike, E-Bike Tour, 10 Days

From the moment we walked off the plane, everything was planned seamlessly! Drivers, hotels, tours, and transfers! Zicasso’s travel agent did an amazing job listening to the types of activities we like to do and was able to put together an itinerary that was amazing! The people we met, the sites we were able to see, and the food were fantastic. She also checked in with us to make sure everything was going well. If we needed her, she was easy to reach out to. She planned the perfect balance of guided activities along with some self-exploration! We cannot thank her enough for planning this vacation!

Greece Travel Review: Guides, 12 Days

Our travel company and Zicasso were truly excellent trip resources and designers of our two-week vacation to Greece. They arranged every detail. We had transportation prearranged, lodging that was extraordinary, and food that was unforgettable.

Our guides for various day tours in each location were phenomenal. They were never rushed and seemed to give us limitless time. They made arrangements for us that were not part of their paid services, just because they were so welcoming. The guides were all graduates of universities who had completed months of additional studies to become certified as guides. We learned so much from our trip about the places, but also about the culture and what it's like to actually live in Greece. Bravo!

Greece Travel Review: Santorini, Crete, Cooking Class, 1 Week

It was a pleasure working with Zicasso’s travel company to create a wonderful trip that included a diverse collection of requests that was enjoyed by everyone in the family. We discussed places we wanted to see and overall physical rigor, as well as if we needed breaks in the schedule and the particular interests of each child. They then organized everything, including every transfer and hotel for the entire trip, including mainland Greece, as well as islands (Santorini and Crete), with everything planned outside of flights to and from Greece.

They arranged private tour guides who often were archaeologists who also grew up there, which added additional depth in understanding the historical and cultural relevance of the sights, making it easy to understand for all members of the family. We could not have asked for a more personal and pleasurable experience.
