Rhodes Vacations, Tours & Itineraries

Our 18-day trip from Athens to Santorini to Crete was wonderful! Zicasso’s travel consultant listened to our desires for the trip, thoughtfully applied her knowledge and resources to recommend (and periodically modify) an itinerary for us, and delivered the wonderful end product for us! The arranged tours, lodging, and restaurant recommendations were spot-on. I wouldn’t change a thing!

Our group consisted of travelers with extensive experiences with group and private travel operators. We enjoyed our travels - especially the Minoan tours and scenery in Epirus.

However, the trip planning and coordination were less than ideal.

A free day was scheduled on a day when important museums were closed.

On the Easter holiday we were in a town with only closed restaurants, and we needed to buy food in a grocery to be cooked in our unit.

The transfers and tours in Rhodes often came late requiring phone calls.

Two tours in Rhodes were duplicative. The guides were knowledgeable but not great. One better tour would have been preferred.

The itinerary missed some important museums and monasteries.

On each of the islands, we would have preferred one fewer night each.

Zicasso's travel company made our bucket-list trip to Greece come to life! They organised all our tours and transportation, worked with us to provide activities that were in line with our interests, and even gave detailed information on suggested itineraries for our free days.

Some highlights included the walking tour(s) of Athens, our trip to see Santorini, and the best steak I have ever had at a beach hotel in Naxos! Our only suggestion is that we went on a day tour to Delos which was self-guided. There is so much history there though that a guided tour would have been helpful. I would definitely recommend booking your tour with them!

We had a wonderful time in Greece. We spent 10 days there and went to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini. The accommodations were great and the planned excursions were fantastic. The weather was perfect.

Overall, we had an awesome experience. The communication through this forum was easy to use. We would highly recommend Zicasso and its tour partner for anyone's travel needs. The excursions were all well planned and went smoothly. I think the first one on the day we arrived was a little less enjoyable due to the fact that we had just flown in that day and had such a long flight.

The next day, on the trip to the Acropolis, the tour and guide were also great; however, the car trip part of that was less so. We could have done it without the car part, as the kids and I slept during part of it. I enjoyed the museum tours, but felt like we missed a good bit of exhibits by being with a tour guide. I guess if we had been on our own we could have seen more, but wouldn't have had the commentary and information from the guide.

The transfers from Athens to Mykonos and then Mykonos to Santorini and then back to Athens had no issues. Communication through WhatsApp was good as well. Issues and/or questions were addressed quickly.
