Don’t get caught in the World Wide Web. WWW…. world wide web or world wide worry????

 

We have all heard the stories from some people who claim to have “saved a fortune” by booking direct on the Internet. While we doubt that this is true, what about the countless stories of people being ripped off, not getting the services that they thought they paid for, or indeed being stuck in a foreign country with heavy suitcases and no accommodation at all? If you wouldn’t give a total stranger a blank cheque, why would you provide your credit card details over the internet to who knows whom? Fraudulent websites can mean that you get nothing at all except for a hefty swipe on your credit card as well as the possible inconvenience of having to cancel your card and have a new one issued. In the event that there are any disputes there is very little if anything that you can do by way of getting your money back.

 

That is where HI Tours and our travel agency partners come into the picture.

 

We are here to assist with the complicated ferry system in Greece where the timetable is usually more of a wish list than a reality. If the ferry service should go out on strike or weather issues prevail, our local representative will assist in arranging an alternative form of transportation or amend your ferry and hotel booking. It is important for you to know that there are both reliable and unreliable sources of information on the web with regards to Greek ferries and hydrofoils. The trick is to know which is which, and that is not easy to do. If you insist on booking and paying for a ferry based on timetable information provided by unreliable sources, we can only wish you the best of luck!

 

We are here to recommend hotels that suit your need in a location we know that you would want. Imagine booking a hotel on the internet and not being aware that it is still being built or undergoing renovations and that you might be in the midst of a building site or worse. Choosing a hotel based on what you hope is an accurate description of the hotel, it’s location and facilities is a recipe for disaster.

 

We are here to tell you about the differences between the various hotels and which ones we believe would be best suited to your need. Pictures can be deceiving! What looks fantastic on the web might well be an enhanced photo that has no reality compared to what you will be getting. The old saying “never judge a book by its cover” is very true when it comes to certain unreliable websites.

 

We are here because, if anything should go wrong while you are travelling, our representatives are right on the spot in Greece and our other destinations to ensure that your problems are resolved.

 

We are here to rearrange your transfer should you let us know that your flight is cancelled or delayed.

 

We are here to recommend the best product that is most suitable for your individual needs.

 

We are here because we know what you need to know such as: where to stay, what to see, where to eat, what to do, what time of the year in which to do it, what it costs and why it’s interesting.

 

We are here because we know about fares, fare rules, visas, currency, climate, customs, festivals, dress codes, tipping, the best types of rooms, cabins, car types, ferry routes, tours and transfers.

 

We are here to ensure that you get what you paid for and not the worst room in the hotel just because you bought via the Internet and “they” know that “they” will never see you again.

 

We are here to arrange the best guides for you, so that the holiday you have saved and waited for is everything that you always hoped it would be.

 

We are here to ensure that your coach is air conditioned and of good quality so that you can see and enjoy the sights of Greece and our other destinations in safety and comfort with an English or French speaking guide.

 

We are here to save you time, effort and money.

 

We are here to maximise your time and minimise your cost.

 

We are here because we have a superb name and reputation to uphold.

 

We are here because we rely on repeat business and the only way of doing this is by ensuring that you get a great product as well as superb service at a fair and reasonable price.

 

We are here because we know that if we delight you in Greece and Turkey then you will return to holiday with us in the future at our numerous other destinations such as Egypt, Malta, Croatia and even Cyprus, Spain, Portugal and Central Europe.

 

We are here because we are the renowned experts in Greece and Eastern Mediterranean, the only area in which we specialise.

 

We are here because we intend on being here for the long term, and we know that our name and reputation means everything both to you and to us.
