FAQs
How can our prices be so low?
Our tour operator in Greece can offer lower than normal rates because of the unique way that they book the hotels. They control 90% of the hotel bookings on the islands we use and they will instantly confirm a hotel CATEGORY. Then, as your arrival day gets closer they shop that hotel category for hotels who are willing to sell their rooms at 50% off normal rate. You choose the hotel category that you prefer, and we can confirm your space immediately. You will be guaranteed a hotel in that category, but you will not know the name of the hotel until your arrival in Greece. By doing this, our tour operator guarantees the hotel type that you want, while supplying the lowest price possible.

How to Book:
Because of the nature of the programme Greek Island Packages can be confirmed instantly. Any applicable insurance premium and full prepayment for the package is payable within a week of booking. Credit card payments by American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Diners Club are accepted.
For any other arrangements including individually requested accommodation, transportation, local sightseeing, or coach tours a nonrefundable deposit of Ca$100.00 per person is payable at the time of booking, and balance of cost is payable within seven days of receipt of confirmation.

Changes to Booking:
Changes made 30 days or more prior to departure will incur a nonrefundable administration fee of Ca$75.00. Changes within 30 days of departure may be requested for a nonrefundable fee of Ca$150.00. Reconfirmation will come from our Greek tour operator.

Cancellation Charges:
Notice of cancellation must be made in writing. Cancellation penalties are: if canceled more than 30 days prior to departure a penalty of 10% of cost of arrangements with a minimum amount of Ca$100.00 per person is incurred; if canceled within 30 days of departure, no refund. Trip Cancellation Insurance can be issued to cover cancellation fees, and if required must be requested at time of booking with details of full names, dates of birth, and home addresses being supplied. Premiums will immediately be advised, and cost debited together with package cost or deposit in the case of individually requested arrangements.
