Summary
Due to the worldwide coronavirus outbreak, we have postponed our tour to Greece from May of 2020 to May of 2021. All of the relevant details regarding the postponement are listed below.
On the online form, you can indicate:
· If you approve the changes and plan to join us in 2021
· If you would like to cancel your place(s) on the tour and receive a refund
· If you would like to discuss the options further before making a decision
New Tour Details
The new tour will run from May 17th – 28th, 2021. Travelers on the extension to Santorini will return home on June 1st. The tour itinerary remains unchanged, as do all accommodations and arrangements.
New Tour Financials
All tour payments will be applied to the new tour, and there will be no price increases on paid balances.
If you were to add services (such as adding the extension), these would be priced at 2021 rates. New travelers or travelers who cancel their tour and then rejoin at a later date, will pay a 2021 tour price of $4,335, which reflects the yearly increase in supplier pricing.
New Tour Flights
If you had a reserved seat on the group flights, we will take care of cancelling your reservation. By late-July, we will email you with new flight options for your consideration. If your new flights cost less than your old flights, we will refund you; if your new flights cost more than your old flights, we will bill you.
If you purchased flights on your own, we recommend calling your airline, explaining that your tour was postponed, and asking for a refund or a voucher for future travel with waived change fees.
Cancellation Policy
We are keenly aware of the unexpected disruptions caused by this pandemic, and our goal has been to refund all tour payments other than non-recoupable expenses. With this in mind, we are expanding our refund policy beyond the stated terms and conditions. Cancellations received by April 10th, 2020 (the deadline for submitting this form) will be subject to the following per person refund schedule:
Main tour: Refund of all payments except for the $600 deposit
Santorini extension: Refund of 50% (based on total balance, including the single supplement)
Flights: Refunded in full
Cancellations after the April 10th, 2020 deadline will incur normal cancellation fees (50% of the total tour balance), per the tour terms and conditions. The remaining cancellation deadlines will be postponed by a year (ie., the 25% refund period originally set to begin on April 4th 2020 will now begin on April 4th 2021). Travelers who cancel the tour now but decide to rejoin the tour at a later date may do so but at the new 2021 rate of $4,335 and with an administrative fee of $200 a person. Prices for additional services will be at 2021 rates as well.
