Zicasso Signature Tours

The travel fairy at Zicasso's tour operator, as she called herself (and I felt it fit her well), certainly put together a magical trip to Greece for our group of four. We all had a fantastic vacation in Greece and were super-impressed and pleased with the staff at the travel company.

The connections for flights and ferries, as well as all of the transfers to and from our hotels and excursions, were seamless, which made for a stress-free vacation. The hotels they arranged for us ranged from old Venetian buildings in older parts of Athens and Heraklion to an upscale small resort in Naxos, as well as a fantastic hotel in Chania that overlooked the harbor. My husband and I loved every one, especially the resort in Naxos.

I highly suggest this travel company because they listened to our group's likes and dislikes to plan the perfect trip. Our trip consisted of Athens, Naxos, and two places on Crete, filled with two food tours, a boat trip, historical excursions to the Parthenon and Knossos, as well as excursions in nature to Imbros Gorge and Balos Beach. Any guide during these excursions was very knowledgeable.

We would change only the following two things. Naxos was so beautiful and we were all sad to leave and wish we could have added an extra day to just relax on the beach for a full day. So, my suggestion to anyone traveling to Greece would be to save at least one full day at one of the beautiful islands without an excursion.

The other thing we would change is to take a boat to Balos Beach instead of walking down to the beach. My husband is 80 years old and although he is in good shape, the hike was very steep and scary in some parts. As we were walking down to the beach, we loved the incredible vistas, but were also concerned about having to walk back up the equivalent of 66 flights of stairs. I say this just as a cautionary tale to really look into this walk before your trip. The views were hard to beat, but the walk was not easy.

Highlights of this trip included the hotel in Naxos (our resort on Plaka in Naxos), with super-friendly and helpful staff, private tour of Knossos and the museum, and the charming city of Chania. Greece is truly a beautiful country, with stunning vistas, beaches, historical sites, museums, and cute narrow streets filled with shops and restaurants.

Thank you for a vacation that will stay in our hearts forever.

Zicasso's travel planner and her company gave me one of the most phenomenal vacations I have ever had. This trip can be labelled as the trip of a lifetime. She had every detail completed.

Our flights, our transfers, and our ferry tickets were waiting for us at the hotel front desk on every island. We had incredible tours set up, with the most incredible tour guides. We laughed, drank, ate, and celebrated in the most decadent locations in Naxos, Santorini, Crete, and Athens.

We encountered only one hiccup and she was on it within minutes of receiving my email. She stood by her word and solved my issue with professionalism and expedited the correction. I cannot emphasize enough how awesome she is. I cannot wait to plan my trip for next year. I highly recommend her and her company. Thank you for the lifelong memories!!!! You're the best!!

Our trip was incredible! We were so impressed with the professionalism of Zicasso’s travel agent and the guides we had during our tours. Greece has been a long-dreamed-of destination and our time in Naxos, Santorini, and Athens exceeded our expectations. It was an easy process to give some guidance on what we liked to do and have a curated trip for our preferences. We would recommend the travel company to anyone needing help planning a trip!

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!

My husband and I had the most amazing honeymoon and owe it all to Zicasso’s travel specialists. We visited Athens, Crete, Santorini, and Naxos. We had an amazing experience in each location and were constantly in awe of the hotels and experiences that had been booked for us. Zicasso’s travel specialist responded to messages almost immediately and sent us our ferry/plane boarding passes before we had even thought of them. We only got home a few days ago and are already looking forward to planning another trip with Zicasso.

We thought Zicasso’s tour company was wonderful! The itinerary was extremely well organized and very detailed, which was helpful for using trains and buses. All of the activities, including hiking, kayaking, and wine tasting, were great experiences. The hotels had perfect locations. We would be happy to use the tour company again!
