Australia, New Zealand Trip Review: Tasmania, Rotorua, Uluru,...

We absolutely loved so much of our trip! My kids’ (ages 11 and eight) favorite activities were luging in Rotorua, NZ, and the sunset camel ride in Uluru, AU, while my husband and I were enchanted by Hobbiton and enjoyed exploring a glowworm cave with the owner's father! We all loved Tasmania.

There were a few hiccups. However, we were very happy with all the support the Zicasso travel company's team provided in real time to help us get back on track. 

The overall trip was fantastic. My husband and I appreciated having the team support our adventures, both the highs and the lows. The team members were detailed-oriented. This trip exceeded our expectations and we’re incredibly grateful for their expertise in curating such memorable experiences.

Greece Tour Review: Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, History,...

If you're considering a trip to Greece, look no further than Zicasso. Our travel expert planned an unforgettable journey for our family; Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, and every detail was executed with care, expertise, and passion. 

From the moment we arrived in Athens, we were immersed in the country’s warm hospitality. Our agent made sure we had the perfect balance of sightseeing and relaxation. The historical sites in Athens, like the Acropolis and the ancient Agora, were must-sees.

Mykonos is vibrant yet relaxed. The beaches were beautiful. Every meal on this trip was a highlight. Fresh seafood, local cheeses, olive oil, and delicious pastries—each bite told a story of Greece’s deep culinary heritage.

In Santorini, we were captivated by the island’s charm—whitewashed buildings, breathtaking sunsets, and the deep blue Aegean Sea. We visited traditional villages, giving us a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions that are still very much alive.

Throughout the trip, what stood out most—beyond the stunning landscapes and ancient history—was the friendliness of the Greek people. Their warmth and pride in their culture made every moment feel welcoming and genuine.

Our agent didn’t just plan a vacation—he created an experience rooted in history, tradition, and hospitality. I can’t recommend him and Zicasso highly enough.

Greece Vacation Review: History, Culture, Biking, Cuisine,...

We had an amazing experience working with Zicasso's travel specialist and her company's team for our two-week trip to Greece. The itinerary was thoughtful, family-friendly, and beautifully balanced, with just the right mix of cultural experiences, local flavor, recreation, and downtime. It was clear from the start that a great deal of care and collaboration went into planning this journey and the result was a trip perfectly suited to our family. Every stop, activity, and transition reflected a deep understanding of what would engage and inspire us.

What truly set our tour company apart was the exceptional Traveler Care team. Throughout the entire trip, they were consistently attentive, warm, and impressively responsive, often going above and beyond, even outside regular hours. Their real-time guidance and reassuring presence gave us complete peace of mind, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the journey without ever feeling uncertain or unsupported.

We never once felt unsure or alone while navigating a multi-stop itinerary across several islands and regions. Thanks to the travel company, we were able to focus entirely on what mattered most: being present and making lifelong memories with our children.

If you’re planning a trip to Greece and want something truly unforgettable — not just a vacation, but a seamlessly orchestrated, soul-stirring, memory-making journey — you must work with this company! They took the time to truly understand our family and crafted an experience that felt uniquely ours at every step. Their combination of deep local expertise, personalized care, and flawless execution is nothing short of world-class. Every family should be so fortunate — the company is, quite simply, in a league of its own.
