Could you please let me know how far in advance I would need to cancel to be eligible for a full refund?

Kindly note the deposit amount is not refundable as per our terms and conditions. However, you may freely request date/destination changes until 70 days prior to departure.

What single accommodation be available for this trip?

Regrettably, we are unable to accommodate passengers with the single supplement on this tour. Furthermore, our tours do not operate on a shared room basis.

Are we required to use the company you are contracted with for travel insurance?

No, you are not required to use the company we are contracted with; you may choose any insurance provider that meets your needs.

Are Ferries high speed type? If not is there an option to go by high speed ferry. Dom we get reserved seats on ferries. How long are the ferry rides.

Yes, we use high speed ferries for our Greece tours. Ferry rides usually take around 1.5-2.5 hours. As seats booked are under a group and allocated to the passengers upon arrival, seats can't be reserved in advance. However, you may consult your guide during the tour for seating arrangements.

I was looking at a time in October 6-13. But when I saw the price increase of traveling solo, that gave me pause. If I'm willing to bunk up with somebody else and you're still going to charge me over $800 extra I'm not sure I wanna travel with your company. I would love to hear your reply to these things.

We do not have a departure available for Oct 6th. The latest departure available in 2024 is Sept 27th. The single supplement for this departure costs an additional $2227 on top of the tour price. Please note our tours do not operate on a shared room basis, solo travellers are required to book with the single supplement for a private room.

Are the ferries to and from standard or high speed?

Do you offer international flights from Boston to Athens. If so, what is the cost?

the price without the flight .. if so how much for the flight from Newark Airport N.J.

Airfare is not included in our tours unless the flights are a part of the tour itinerary, passengers are required to book their flights to and from the destination separately.

We're interested in Tour, the Greece Islands Luxury tour for summer of 2025. There would be three of us. We're wondering how early we can get accurate pricing for that time period and how early it could be booked?

Our 2025 departures will be released gradually, starting from March. We recommend checking the tour page frequently for new dates.

Do you know what hotel we are staying at for the trip and we can make our own arrangements. We do not want to be jumping around for accommodations between pre tour.

The designated itinerary hotel for this departure is Grand Hyatt, though itinerary hotels may or may not change closer to the tour departure date, based on the group size and local availability. Any such changes will be announced ahead of time.

Would like to extend the hotel for one extra day in Athens on both ends and in Santorini by 2 days.

We are unable to offer pre & post accommodation services for our tours in Greece. Tours operate on fixed dates and itineraries, extending your stay in Santorini will not be possible.

Great overall experience. Vasso, our tour guide was incredible. Very knowledgeable and just fun and enthusiastic about Greece, the history, the beauty, the food, and the traditions. Made sure we were informed, on track, and were having fun. Helped us out on our off days with options. And even when we had a hiccup with getting charged taxes for a room in Athens, she immediately took care of it. The sites/islands themselves were breath taking. This tour had a bit of everything. History/archeology, food, shopping, beaches/swimming, hiking, relaxation, luxury.Show more

We took this tour at the end of May through the beginning of June, and it was the perfect time as it was not too hot or crowded. Our tour guide Stefanos definitely made this a five-star experience. The hotels we stayed at were excellent (The Grand Hyatt, Nimbus Mykonos, and The Majestic Hotel). All the tours were well organized and on time. The Fast Ferries were very nice, and it was great we were booked in the VIP section this made the transition from each inland very enjoyable. Stefanos made sure the needs of the individuals in the group were met, he even made sure I had a vegan dessert for my birthday. My one suggestion would be to offer a flight back to Athens from Santorini at the end of the tour. This was the longest ferry ride and an option to take the ferry or fly would be nice. I would recommend this tour.Show more

Travelling with Ciconia to Greece was an amazing experience. The accommodations were top-notch and exceeded my expectations : perfect blend of luxury and comfort. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and provided insightful information about the history and culture of the country. The food was another highlight of the trip, we loved Greek cuisine and local wines. The restaurants we visited were all exceptional either. Overall, I had an unforgettable experience in this lovely country and would highly recommend this tour to anyone wishing to visit Athens and the two of the best islands of Greece.Show more
