Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We recently returned from an 11-day trip to Greece that was planned for us by Zicasso’s travel agency. This was a long-awaited anniversary vacation. We used a travel agency to help us plan a memorable experience and we couldn’t be happier!

The entire process, from initial contact and throughout the trip, was professional, with timely responses to questions. The itinerary our travel team planned was exactly the vision we described to them. They listened, were flexible, and made changes throughout the multiple planning discussions.

The islands selected (Paros, Santorini, and Crete), excursions, and accommodations were all beautiful and different. The excursions with knowledgeable private guides were fun, as they shared a depth of cultural and historical information. We came back with a greater appreciation of Greek history.

The private drivers were timely and friendly. The hotels were clean, spacious, in excellent locations, and had friendly staff and spectacular views. I would definitely reach out to our travel agency for our next trip and highly recommend them to others.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The most enjoyable and memorable parts of the trip were the excursions. While in Athens, we had an awesome tour guide who took us to the Acropolis. In Santorini, our full-day excursion on the island included an appreciation of its history, a wine tasting, and visit to Fira and the local village, all places and things we would not have done on our own.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

The only thing I would do differently is ensure more excursions are planned for each of the days on the islands. If you do not have a vehicle, it is difficult to get around and explore on your own. Taxis are expensive on the islands.
