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.

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.

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.

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.

Madrid and Barcelona From pick up at airport to drop off we had a smooth trip. Hotels were well located close to transportation and everyone was very helpful and friendly. This is my second trip using Great Value Vacations and will definitely use again.
