We have used Zicasso twice to find local travel agents in Greece. Two different trips, the first to island hop and the second to concentrate on Crete. Both agencies we ended up working with were excellent! We could not have been more pleased.

If I could give them more than five stars, I would. I cannot recommend Zicasso's tour operator enough!!! Our agents were amazing and created the most perfect honeymoon for my husband and I!! We went to Paros, Santorini, Crete, and Athens and loved them all. It was amazing not to have to worry about a thing. We had zero issues and we had the best time.
We went to wonderful restaurants and beautiful hotels, had two fun boat trips, a beautiful tour throughout Kissamos, Crete, and the best tour guide for the Acropolis/Athens.
If you want an amazing trip with beautiful memories and zero worries, I would absolutely use this tour operator!!!
