We had an absolutely amazing trip, thanks to Zicasso's travel agent and the rest of the team at the tour company. They listened carefully to what we wanted and created a perfect itinerary for us: Athens to Corfu to Santorini. They took all of the stress out of our trip and allowed us to completely relax and enjoy ourselves.
They handled booking accommodations, dining reservations, transportation, and all activities for us, and provided a detailed itinerary that had all of the information we needed.
