Greece Travel Agents & Reviews

We have just returned from a fabulous 10-day trip to Greece. Zicasso recommended two tour operators based on what we wanted to do and see. After a brief call from the owner, we entrusted his company to plan our trip.

The hotels, excursions, transportation with porterage, and airport assistance were seamlessly taken care of. We had local contacts in each area we visited confirming our pick-up times, names of drivers, etc, through WhatsApp. The vehicles were high end and clean. The drivers and tour guides were professional and spoke English.

We will use this company to plan our next trip!

This is an exceptional travel agency. If you are looking for bespoke experiences with knowledgeable travel guides, Zicasso’s company can help you craft the perfect itinerary. Ours included tours of Athens, the Acropolis and museum, day trips to Mycenae/Epidaurus, Delphi, and the archaeological museum. The sites themselves are a wonder, but all the more marvelous when you have a private guide with a deep understanding of Greek archeology and mythology to explain it. Our guide had a phenomenal ability to bring to life the artifacts and sights we were seeing. We deeply appreciated her knowledge of Greek history and culture.

We also spent a few days exploring the large island of Crete. Our days in Heraklion included a visit to Knossos, the archeological museum, a Cretan cooking class, and an olive tour. We concluded our trip with a tour of the Arkadi Monastery and the picturesque towns of Rethymno and Chania.

We toured Crete with another amazing guide, who elevated any conversation with his mastery of Greek, Cretan life, genuine humor and good spirit. He delivered on every detail of our itinerary and helped us bypass the crowds where possible. The wine tasting, cooking class, and olive oil tasting were a testament to his experience and knowledge about the island. We tasted organic wines and olive oils from local and family-owned businesses, and got to tour their facilities. Every day was better than the next.

The company partnered with extraordinary guides and drivers who were passionate about making our visit to Greece an exceptional and memorable one. We highly recommend booking with them.

On a different note, we’d like to offer a tip about air travel from the islands: if you are in the Greek islands and plan on heading home on an international flight from Athens airport, think about getting to Athens the night before. We made the mistake of booking an 8.15am flight from Chania, Crete, to Athens. We were told by everyone we asked that we would have more than enough time to collect our bags, go through security, and make our 12.10pm international flight. Unfortunately, on that particular day, May 31, 2024, the airline experienced delays and we didn’t board our local flight until 11am. We were reassured by multiple of the airline’s gate employees that we would make the connection. We did not. Boarding for our international flight home had already closed by the time we landed in Athens. We did not have enough time to gather our bags and run to the gate. We had to rebook our flight home, which was extremely expensive and caused many headaches and extra hours at the airport. The airlines were their usual “helpful” selves. Our international airline was more than “happy” to help us rebook, at a cost of a few thousand dollars. The other airline was “sorry” for the delay, but wasn’t responsible for any of the problems caused. Even here, the travel agency helped us as much as they could, suggesting hotels and transportation until we could get on a flight home.

Our travel company is the type of agency with which you can feel comfortable and secure!

I cannot recommend working with the Zicasso travel agency enough. We had an absolutely epic 12-day vacation that was completely organized by our agent. Not only that, she supported us through two Covid diagnoses mid-trip and changes in plans for two of our party!

Our visit was not only cohesive, but it was put together in such a way that we were able to build on our knowledge and experiences with each stop. We had absolutely fabulous guides for almost all of our excursions and the difference that made was well worth the money! I cannot imagine our experience without having their wonderful guidance and knowledge, from the Parthenon to Delphi to Naxos to Crete. Our agent listened to our group's interests and wants, and made them happen!

This trip is something that I will never forget and I am so grateful that we found our agent and her company. I will be recommending them to everyone I speak to who is even considering a trip to Greece!

This trip was a milestone birthday vacation. I planned to organize this trip myself, but for various reasons, did not have the energy or time to do so. I am extremely happy I used Zicasso and that they connected me to our travel company and agent, who was great. We worked extremely well together. I shared the things I wanted to do, she provided additional suggestions, and together, we finalized everything.

Her expertise in Greece was invaluable and her connections with various hotels, transportation, and tour guides showed because everything was perfectly planned and we didn't have to do anything.

In addition, the vendors spoke very highly of our agent and I agree. She took care of everything, especially coordinating all the locations, and made this a memorable, amazing, joyous, and most relaxing trip.

I will definitely use this company again and refer it and my travel agent. I plan to return to Greece at some point and I will use her again. Thanks for planning and executing a great birthday trip for me!

We had a great trip!

When planning it, I felt like the Zicasso travel agent listened to what I wanted. He offered options for my consideration, which was helpful, but took my lead, and I think we ended up with a good trip.

Once we got to Greece, there were a few hiccups, but our agent was responsive and it was easy to get in touch with him.

The guide we had in Athens deviated from the itinerary both days we were there (without explanation) and I feel we might have missed a couple of things. Mykonos and Santorini went much more smoothly. The guide we had for the tour of Santorini was fabulous; he communicated what we were going to do and was very informative throughout the tour.

We booked this trip on a whim at the last minute. I submitted a request through Zicasso with a very basic idea of what we wanted and where we wanted to go (mainly Crete). I was impressed with the quick response! We were connected with our travel agent and things progressed very quickly from there. It was around late June/early July and we wanted to go in early September. Our agent made everything super-easy.

We ended up picking four locations in Greece. She picked all of the hotels and arranged transfers, ferries and flights. Just not having to deal with the logistics was amazing. She let us know when our pick-up would arrive so we didn't have to think about how early we needed to be at the airport, etc. This really let us just relax and trust we would get from one place to the next.

The four hotels she chose for us were amazing and far exceeded expectations. Had we done everything ourselves, I probably wouldn't have chosen to stay where we did, but I was glad to be where we were. The locations were all within walking distance of restaurants and shopping, but quiet and peaceful.

We only had two planned excursions as we wanted the trip to be more relaxing. Both (the Naxos town food tour and the Acropolis tour) were great.

We ended up going from Naxos to Santorini to Crete to Athens and absolutely loved everything about Greece. The beaches were stunning, the food was great, the people were friendly, and on and on… We will definitely be back someday!

Zicasso’s travel operator was very helpful with our itinerary planning to minimize travel time between islands, etc. Her choice of hotels was excellent in location and style. She was accessible during the planning process and made sure we had all our questions answered in a very timely manner. She helped navigate through cruise port changes and ferry strikes.
