Will do business again with Great Value Vacations Ireland has the FRIENDLIEST people in the world. The hotel was super great! The experience wonderful. London was a short but sweet visit and the hotel was good too. Paris was great. We had time to see lots of things. We had a fitness room in two of the hotels and the food was great in the hotels that offered breakfast.

A Great Value but... Great Value truly provided a great value in terms of the cost of the trip, and the place we stayed was amazing. However, all communication is done electronically and no where in our paperwork did it say that I was listed as the driver for our car rental and that I would have to provide a driver's license. Since my husband was driving and the husband of the other couple traveling with us, and I cannot drive a stickshift, I didn't even have my license with me and was told after our long flight to Rome that I would have to sort it out with Great Value (it was 1:30am NY time). I was in tears and the rental agent finally made a call and they were able to switch it to my husband, with an additional fee for the second driver (which we were also not informed about). This was an awful way to begin our vacation, and such crucial information should have been in our paperwork so I could have switched it before we left.

Satisfactory Did not like the choice and location of some hotels, at Rome, and Tropea, since they were away from city center. The Ferry ride to Sicily was not as expected.. The Gelato experience was good. The dinners provided did not represent the traditional good pasta/sauces and foods of Italy.

GVV could do a better job at… GVV could do a better job at communication. They do not notify you of flight changes or delays. GVV does not return calls after you talk to Customer service when requesting an upgrade or change. The hotels are not in any central location. You have to take taxi or Uber most times. Last hotel in Athens was on a busy highway with many adult stores near by. Also the hotel did not have a restaurant as orginally stated with pictures too.

Amazing and affordable trip to Ireland The price point of the Great Value Vacation package made our 30-year dream of visiting Ireland a reality. The itinerary was perfectly planned and the hotels were in great locations, clean and quite nice. One suggestion would be to book an automatic car from the beginning, as we had to pay extra to upgrade when we arrived. It was a fantastic trip and we had a wonderful time! We are looking at booking our next trip through Great Value Vacations.
