Greece Travel Guide

Our travel specialist was an exceptional travel planner. I have planned many trips and my experience with her was at the top. I actually investigated working with Zicasso because I was interested in leveraging the planning of my trip as a cultural exchange with someone in-country who could provide their personal perspectives and insider tips. She delivered!

Our travel specialist had dinner with us the first night and gave us all sorts of insights on Athens and her recommendations. She also gave us her cell number and was available 24/7 for any needs we had throughout the trip. I have never had service like this. She was truly incredible and helped us navigate last-minute changes or additions flawlessly and with no stress.

She found small, family-owned hotels with lots of character for us to stay in. She organized a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Santorini to participate in all of the many festivities surrounding Greek Orthodox Easter; so many traditions and so very different than our American Easter. It was authentic, joyful, and an incredible cultural exchange in that we were welcomed wholeheartedly by the people of Santorini.

The guides she provided were locals who had deep knowledge and high academic credentials, so traveling with them was like going back to school and learning in the most amazing fully immersive manner.

Our guide in Santorini mentioned we must not miss Akrotiri on Santorini, so we made time to fit in this unexpected tour; turns out it blew our mind: an ancient Minoan city... and some say it may have been the lost city of Atlantis. The story of the town and its demise is stunning. Then, a visit to Knossos in Heraklion, Crete, with our PhD guide, a cultural anthropologist and archaeologist. She was able to share the historical perspective on the Minoan Palace of Knossos, but also the contemporary study of the subject and how the work of "pre-history" civilizations is done with limited Minoan language and documentation.

Our travel specialist planned a flawless trip of a lifetime for us, but we also made a friend in Athens. We are so very grateful.

Zicasso’s travel agent created an itinerary that was perfect for Bob, me, and our three grandsons. We hit traditional high points in Greece, but also lots of gems off the beaten trail. All the guides were so enjoyable and really helped make the experience so memorable for our grandsons. We stayed at very exceptional places and there was no worry about transportation or any safety issues!

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!

Zicasso’s travel specialist, from the beginning planning stages of our trip to Greece to the end, was exceptional. He listened carefully to our interests and tailored our trip accordingly. He was available as we requested changes and immediately responded, and this continued throughout the trip.

Each tour in Crete and Athens went without a hitch. Guides were highly knowledgeable and friendly. He is very invested in you having a wonderful experience and goes the extra mile. I would highly recommend the travel company.

Zicasso’s travel agent was wonderful! She really focused on my wishes for the trip and made it happen! She was in touch while we were there and ready to help if we needed anything. Most of the hotels were very nice.

Everything was well planned and coordinated. All of the drivers and tour guides were on time and did a fine job! The hotels were very nice and the restaurant suggestions were very helpful. It was also a pleasure getting to meet Zicasso’s travel specialist in person when we arrived in Athens!
