Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

We started our journey with those famous words “Let’s go”. We chose the Zicasso recommended agency to arrange a guided tour with a mixture of history, education, boutique hotels and fun, suitable to provide young adult niece and nephew with their first international experience. Vasilis, the owner, exceeded all expectations. His suggested additions to our itinerary, Meteora and Crete, were the highlights of our trip. Our drivers were courteous, professional, and knew the best places to eat, while our guides brought Greek history and culture to life. Our hotels were strategically located and had the character we desired, always with friendly, warm staff. Each day the trip just seemed to get better than the last. Our single trip interruption, as often happens, occurred after hours on a Friday night when our plane was forced to return to the departure airport due to weather. Within the hour, Vasilis had rebooked our flights for early the next morning and had a driver enroute to a nearby hotel for the evening. Great trip, great memories and our third fantastic experience through Zicasso.

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

We thoroughly enjoyed Meteora. The monasteries were beautiful and impressive, the landscape phenomenal, and local people gracious and welcoming. Being from the village our guide was able to add many hidden gems and give us local flavor.
Crete is not to be missed. Historically, we saw ancient ruins to modern day Greece. We enjoyed visiting a local oil oil cooperative and learning the process of making the oil. We really enjoyed seeing the winery and sampling the products. We left Crete having made new friends, especially our guide from the mountain Crete culture.
Most of all was how friendly and welcoming the Greek people were to visitors to their wonderful country.

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

We would have scheduled a little "down" time. The trip was AWESOME, but we did not get to savor some of the hidden gems discovered along the way.
