[sorry Kath cant find a dedicated thread if you have one please merge]
we have just booked our Kos holiday with Olympic, anyone had experience good or bad with this company, we have met their reps when we have been in Cyprus and Greece and they always seemed upbeat and friendly, but what is the actual company like to deal with and the quality of service
wiz
we have travelled for the last 2 years with Olympic to Cyprus and had no problems at all.
also we booked accomadation only through them about 4 years ago again to Cyprus and no probs..
i have never had any problems with any holidays i have booked with them.
thanks folks.. i know they have been going for a while but never seen much about them on the forums
I travelled with then to Zante a couple of times. Everything was fine
I travelled to Goa with them a couple of years ago and they were good
have been to kos twice fantastic holiday
If i want to change my hotel but keep the same flights will they charge
me to do this. As i have found the apartments don't have a swimming
pool , I would prefer to stay where they hve their own pool. If i have
to pay extra any ideas of the cost ?
they will probably charge you an admin fee. you should be able to find the costs in their terms and conditions.
Thaks Kath will have a look.
Thankyou Kath that helped . Plenty of information .
Went to Sharm at half-term with Olympic and pleased to report that all arrangements were fine, had no problems with them at all and the rep was excellent. (Also went with them to Crete about 25 years ago and that was fine too!)
Never used this tour op before? What are they like? Has anyone had any problems with them?
they are quite a well established company, we have used them once but if they had the holiday we wanted at the right price would not hesitate to use them,
Used them last year - so did eldest and no problems. Price was right and they delivered what they promised. Can't ask for more.
There are a few positive comments on this existing thread
We will be using Olympic next month for the second year running. Excellent prices and the apartment was everything we were promised last year. Accursed midnight flights so we missed the evening ferry but Olympic put us up in a hotel in Rhodes(Ixia) and picked us up in the morning in plenty of time to get us to Mandraki for the morning ferry. OK, good try but the wrong harbour and the wrong boat but we had time to find the correct ferry ourselves. Fortunately we knew our way anyway so it didn't matter much. Similar story on our return from Symi to Rhodes. The transfer coach went to the wrong harbour to meet the wrong boat but it was sorted (mobile phones do have their uses) and we were in plenty of time to have a meal and get to Diagoras airport to catch the evening flight home. We will ensure that the rep in Rhodes gets it right this year. We already know the ferry timetable by heart even if he doesn't. I don't think anyone was particularly upset; just part of the normal Greek life. Take it as it comes.
The local rep in Symi is excellent and has lived there for years. He even supplied us with tickets for the fast ferry to give us an additional day on the Island. Much appreciated.
I don't think i have ever encountered any major problems with them and they will do what they can to assist you.
Their pricing isn't allwasy the cheapest, but you get what you pay for in my eyes and if it means paying a little extra to book with them then i do.
Also, if you are booking accommodation only, most of the properties have reps so unlike some operators who use a local agent that basically can't do much, they have proper reps with the power to what they see fit (within reason)
I wish i could sell olympic all the time, boy would i have an easy life
Does anybody know when their prices will be on the web for next year? I would like to price up Easter and August 2011.
