Travel Review: Luxury Greece & Italy Honeymoon, Athens, Venice, Naxos, Bologna, Portovenere, Santorini, Caldera Catamaran Cruise

My experience with this European travel agency was incredible.  I have traveled quite a bit in my life (for both leisure and business) and have usually done so without assistance from a travel agent.  When my wife and I decided to get married, we wanted to have a honeymoon we would never forget.  Due to my job, I was unable to conduct my usual planning.  Thus, I searched the internet and talked with my friends for assistance.  As I was winnowing down my options, I came across Zicasso.  I entered the details of what we were looking for and were referred to two different agencies.  After vetting these two along with some personal recommendations, we decided to go with this agency and could not have been happier.

As an initial comment, I understand that when some people read these types of reviews, they question their authenticity.  This experience was genuine, and I have this company to thank for it.   

I worked personally with our agent and she was a delight.  I outlined for her our expectations for timing and locations.  She then designed an amazing itinerary including eight stops over the course of 20 days (exactly what we wanted).  Not only did most of the hotels she recommended and booked exceed our expectations, but the primary issue I was concerned about (logistics in going to eight locations in 20 days) was taken care of without a hitch.  Indeed, at every location, we were picked up and dropped off in a timely manner, even when planes or ferries were delayed .  It got to the point where I never worried about our next adventure because everything had been planned out perfectly.    

What impressed me most about this agency was that they adhered to their travel agreement, and provided me a discount based on the change in the value of the euro from the time we agreed to book the trip to when final payment was due.  Though explicitly expressed in their agreement, it was still a surprise and great delight.

Finally, from talking to most of the hotels on our trip, I understand that this agnecy recommends the hotels because members of the company have actually visited them.  To know that my travel agent had been to those locations before demonstrates that they know where they are sending us and what to expect.
