Greece Tours in April

Our trip to Greece was fantastic. Zicasso’s tour company provided us with a wonderful itinerary for Athens and the islands, and we continued our third week to visit the mainland of Greece, from Meteora to Delphi to Olympia, Mystras, and Nafplio.

The tour company was with us throughout our visit, assisting continuously with any challenge or change of itinerary needed. Their service was absolutely outstanding.

I thank you all for the recommendation and especially the tour company’s team members for their services.

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!

The itinerary is not the best for the price we paid and for a family with two children. We thought we could come back to Greece, but after this trip, we might not come back or even use Zicasso again. Here are the reasons: 1. The hotels are subpar for the price we paid for this tour. Our hotel in Athens felt like a 2-star. Our hotel in Santorini has a great view, but it's just a view, no pool, etc. nearby. Our hotel in Crete is not near a beach, a 20-minute walk. 2. Too much time was wasted on travel from one location to the next (Santorini to Crete and Crete to Athens). 3. Four nights in Santorini with two children is overkill since there is not much to do other than take photos, hike, and that's basically it. 4. Some of the tours are okay but nothing special, i.e., the hiking tour in Crete where they call the "little forest" is merely just for the name. It has nothing to do with the tour guides. All tour guides are great. However, we feel the tour company is crafting ordinary tours, labels it special, and calls it private. 5. In Delphi, we could have had more time to look around after the two hours. If any of the tours were great, it was the tours we had in Athens and Delphi. If we had known this type of tour we received, we could have done an all-inclusive resort in Greece and done our own without having to go through Zicasso and the tour company.

This was my husband’s and my first trip to Greece and, like any incredible country, it was so tough to decide what to see and do. Luckily, we found Zicasso's tour specialist and, suddenly, our dream trip became a reality. She worked with us for about a year to customize an itinerary that met all our needs, while introducing us to hidden gems we might never have discovered on our own.

We spent 11 unforgettable days exploring Athens, Delphi, Nafplio, and the island of Naxos. Each day was thoughtfully planned, offering a fantastic mix of excursions, dining experiences, and cultural activities. From touring breathtaking archaeological sites to indulging in cheese and olive tastings, taking an amazing cooking class, and visiting the Citron distillery, every experience was uniquely special. Despite the busy schedule, we still had plenty of time to wander, soak in additional sights, and relax on Naxos' stunning beaches.

What truly set this trip apart was the exceptional service. The drivers were friendly and polite, and our tour guides were so knowledgeable and so engaging, making us feel at home in each destination. Wherever we went, the guides enriched our experience with captivating insights and expertly answered all our questions. Their warmth and professionalism made us feel completely at ease.

Once we arrived in Greece, her team remained incredibly accessible. When a flight delay between Naxos and Athens Airport put our connection at risk, we reached out to her. She and her team immediately arranged for someone to meet us at the Athens airport, helping us navigate smoothly and ensuring we caught our flight.

They truly went above and beyond to ensure that our trip was fun, enriching and seamless! We highly, highly recommend this tour company.

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.
