The "Luxury" Myth
When people hear the word "concierge," they often imagine private jets and five-star hotels that cost more than a mortgage payment. Because of this, many groups, especially friends, students, and large families, assume they have to do everything themselves to keep costs down.
But here is the truth: Doing it yourself can often be the most expensive way to travel.
At Group Getaways, we’ve flipped the script. Our professional concierge service starts at just €99 per person (from 5 people or more), and that price actually drops as your group gets larger.
How a €99 Investment Saves You Hundreds
You might wonder: "Why should I pay a fee when I can book online for free?" The answer lies in the hidden costs of DIY travel that our service eliminates.
1. The "Group Rate" Advantage
When you book as an individual, you pay individual prices. Because we work with groups specifically, we know how to negotiate with local providers, villas, and transport companies to find rates you won’t see on the major booking sites. Often, these savings more than cover our service fee.
2. Eliminating Costly Mistakes
A "cheap" hotel that turns out to be two hours away from the city center isn't a bargain—it’s an expensive mistake in taxi fares and lost time. We vet every location and logistical link based on your specific requirements, ensuring you don't waste money on "tourist traps."
3. Time is Your Most Valuable Asset
How many hours have you spent scrolling through reviews, comparing flight times, and trying to coordinate everyone’s budget? If you spend 20 hours planning a trip, your "free" planning actually costs you a lot in time and stress. For €99, we give those 20 hours back to you.
Personalized for Every Wallet
The beauty of the Group Getaways model is that we don't have a "standard" luxury package. We build the itinerary based on your group's budget:
For Student Groups: We focus on high-value hostels, affordable local eateries, and free cultural experiences that don't compromise on the fun.
For Social Clubs: We find unique venues and activities that match your hobby—whether that's photography, sports, or history—without the "premium" price tag.
For Families: We prioritize convenience and child-friendly logistics that keep the peace without breaking the bank.
Transparency You Can Trust
We believe in simple, honest pricing.
No hidden commissions: We aren't trying to upsell you on things you don't need.
Declining rates: The bigger your group (friends, coworkers, or club members), the less each person pays for our service.
Spend Less, Experience More
Our goal is to make professional travel planning accessible to everyone. You bring the group and the budget; we bring the expertise to make it happen.
