Greece trip with islands We did a Greece trip with islands. It was pretty good overall. The first hotel room we had wasn't great but the rest were really nice. It easier super clear on how we'd be getting our tickets and information before the trip, which was somewhat stressful, but it all worked out once we got there.

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.

Too much overall time on bus that we… Too much overall time on bus that we did sine of our own side trips at our own cost (Almafi Coast for example was not making ANY stops to explore ) and delays with ferry to Sicily. Understand the delay but our tour guide was HORRIBLE at providing updates and making the delay for 37 middle age adults more enjoyable or at least manageable. We sat on the ground and steps, moving our luggage (which should have stayed in our “rooms” which were difficult for everyone) I would not recommend any ferry that is not high speed (or train). Dimitri (guide) walked around talking/yelling into his phone anytime we had a glitch… which was often and totally understandable. He also made check in at hotels and ferry chaotic and stressful. If not for the nicest people on this trip and all of us taking care of each other, it would have been a disaster. Also, too many things in too few days. Minimal 2 night stay in destinations should be the norm. Also, there were a few falls and he had no first aid kits to assist, we were running around the rest stop getting ice and antiseptic and bandages. He is arrogant, selfish and too machoism for women from US. ALSO, he obviously doesn’t like Southern Italy, maybe keep him up North, which he raves about.

Best Trip We had a lovely vacation. We traveled to London, Paris, Lucerne & several destinations in Italy (12 day trip). It could not have gone better. We had a great tour director (George) who could not have been more organized & pleasant. He made sure everyone enjoyed themselves & was easy to work with. He answered any questions & always went over details multiple times to make sure everyone understood. This was our first tour with a group & we could not have been happier. The trip was well planned out.

Worth every cent! Everything was very seamless with our trip planning, we just had to print the items clearly stated by Great Value Vacation, pack our bags, and show up! It was so easy, my boyfriend and I are deciding which place to visit next!
