General Health and Fitness/ Medical Conditions/ Disabilities

We at Definitely Greece want all of our clients to have an exceptional holiday with us. In order for us to build an itinerary that fits all the needs of the party, we need to know if the group, family, or individual may have some health issues, medical concerns, and/ or disabilities. By nature, the majority of our group tours may require a lot of walking and we want all our clients not to have difficulty or put a strain on themselves when on a trip with us. Due to the fact that most of our excursions and tours involve walking through terrains and archaeological sites under the hot summer sun, it could be both very physically draining and mentally challenging. With that being said, we require our clients who want to participate in our group tours to be at a physical level that can allow them to get the most out of their trip or be prepared with any means of medication that they may need while on tour. However, we believe in making dreams come true, therefore, we do cater to people with disabilities, medical conditions and other health conditions, but we will have to arrange all the need prior to booking as it will take a lot of pre-planning and would have additional costs. For those clients who want to travel with us and have said conditions above, please note that you will have limited options as well.
