Krissy P.
Greece Vacation Review: Santorini, Corfu, Crete, Athens, Syros, Wine Tasting, 18-Day Trip

We traveled to Greece in September 2025 for an 18-day trip to five locations. We went through Zicasso and were paired with the primary travel company and the local partner. I cannot express how wonderful our trip was. It was apparent that every detail was carefully tailored to meet all of our wants and needs. From the transfers to the tours, and the hotel accommodations and locations, everything about it was just perfect! Highly recommended if you want a worry-free trip.

Teresa R.
Greece Travel Review: 9 Nights

Zicasso's travel company was an absolute joy to work with. Our travel expert and her team listened to every bit of information we shared regarding what we were looking for in a trip to Greece. No one else paid as close attention.

The hotels, tours, and transportation were exceptional. They were always on time and delivered what they promised. The 24/7 concierge service we received was awesome, no matter how insignificant our questions were. They stayed on top of things that might impact our travel, like a strike, and communicated with us and made new arrangements efficiently. We would give more than five stars if we could.

Greece Honeymoon Review: Athens, Paros, Santorini, Crete, Jeep Tour, Byzantine Hike, Sunset Experience, 14-Day Trip

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.

Cara H.
Greece Travel Review: Athens, Beaches, 10 Nights

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!).
