Holiday Season Travel Vacations & Tours

The trip exceeded our expectations! We’ve been home several days and we continue to reflect back on how this was probably one of our best vacations, and that’s saying a lot since we enjoy traveling. We have never tried customizing our trips before, but after working with Zicasso's tour company, we are convinced this is the only way to experience countries and their unique cultures.

Our agent was exceptional in designing our itinerary based upon my requests, readily available, and very thoughtful, communicating with us daily once we were actually there. We visited six locations in two weeks and each day went flawlessly and on time. We are so impressed that we are already thinking of returning back and exploring more of this beautiful and historic country!

Me and my five friends did a girls' trip to Greece for 11 nights. I was nervous about planning a trip that far and did my research online. Zicasso received great reviews and I thought it was great to connect with a travel team in Greece. We worked with our travel agent for months to plan our trip of a lifetime. She took the time to listen to our needs with patience and also asked lots of questions to determine what the best itinerary for our vacation would be. She was amazing. 

The transportation company that picked us up from locations and took us from hotel to hotel was amazing too. 

We stayed in Athens the first few days and that was a great hotel. The rooms were spacious and we were right in the middle of town. We could walk anywhere we wanted to go, even to the Acropolis. We had wonderful tour guides, doing mostly private tours, and the guides felt like family at the end of our trip. We loved Athens, all the shopping and food and hustle and bustle of the city. 

Our next adventure was Chania. That hotel was fabulous too. We loved the city and again, our hotel was within walking distance to everything. Our agent also provided us with ideas for restaurants the days we didn't have tours planned, as well as other things to see. Chania was one of our favorites, especially the tour of the 7 Villages of Apokoronas. What a beautiful tour, and we got to stop at a cheese factory, try cheese, hike, and learn about the olive trees and history. Our tour guide was amazing; so full of knowledge and such a wonderful and friendly personality.  

Our next leg was the town of Rethymno. We loved it. It was so quaint and our hotel was the most beautiful boutique hotel, with so much history. We also did a walking tour of Rethymno Old Town and learned about the town and its historical places while snacking on Greek cookies and coffee. Our guide was amazing too. We had another private tour the next day of the Eleftherna and Rethymno villages, which were amazing to visit. Our agent kept us busy with lots of tours and we loved every minute of it. 

We saw monasteries and also visited Heraklion, where we did a food and wine tour. That was so amazing too. The food in Greece and all the villages was also fresh and delicious. Every place we visited was fabulous. Our tour guide and his team did an amazing job. 

We did a Heraklion Village tour and toured the Lasithi Plateau, which was beautiful. We stopped at a little café for coffee and ate lunch at a wonderful restaurant the tour company's owner suggested. It was the best food ever.

The hotels we stayed in were all top-notch. We requested four- and five-star hotels, which we got. Our drivers were always on time and went out of their way to make us happy. The breakfast in every hotel was amazing and delicious.

I had never been to a country that was so stress-free and where everyone was so nice and accommodating. I felt like we needed to stay another two weeks, but we will be back. Our agent was in touch with us the entire time and we appreciated that. She went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and having a great trip. We had no mishaps and can't wait to go back. 

Thank you, Zicasso and our travel company, agent, and teams, for making the trip a memorable one and the trip of a lifetime. We love you all and you are family now. 

Yamas!! Roxanne, Barbara, Nora, Frances, and Annette – California girls and Texas girls!

The Zicasso travel agent and his team of experts worked with me to craft a memorable trip throughout continental Chile and Easter Island. My husband and I were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that all the details – local guides, accommodations, entry tickets, domestic flights, etc – were handled. This was our third international excursion through Zicasso and its travel partners, and we will definitely use Zicasso in the future.

The trip was so well planned. The drivers and guides were always on time, friendly, and knowledgeable. The heritage hotels were nice, but some of the stairs were a bit daunting. We enjoyed all the excursions, especially the food and wine, and Hvar. I was always able to get hold of Zicasso's trip planner for any help needed.

Zicasso’s travel agent did such an amazing job planning this trip for my mom and me. This was probably the most memorable experience we could’ve ever dreamed of. My mom was so happy, probably the happiest she had ever been, to be able to have this experience. 

The activities and the itinerary were laid out perfectly. Our agent truly understood what we were looking for out of the trip and worked with me to make it a very memorable experience. The agent worked within my budget and understood what types of things we liked to do. We truly got to see various parts of the Italian culture that are part of our ancestry.

From the beginning, Zicasso's travel specialist was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. She replied promptly to emails and phone calls. The drivers and guides were excellent and very punctual. The hotel she booked for us was very nice. We did not encounter any problems.
