GBWe had a great tour guide We had a great tour guide. Dimitri was very experienced and did a great job leading the group in this complicated itinerary. I was unhappy with the flights that were scheduled. It took us 26 hours to get home! (Rome to Florida) Otherwise, we had a great time.

GBToo 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.

GBBest 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.

GBWill 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.

GBWe understand your company is a value… We understand your company is a value travel agency. We enjoyed the hotels, our guide, who was very experienced and the whole trip. On our first meeting with the guide and all of the 37 people on the trip, I think the guide should’ve taken everyone’s cell phone number down. We did have two individuals miss the shuttle back down to our bus. It was a struggle for them to reach our guide, and the people on the bus knew who they were by name and he could’ve simply called them to put them at ease. He ended up taking the shuttle back up and found them at the Archway where we were supposed to meet. But in the 20 minutes it took for him to get back up there, the people were stressed out. Overall accommodations, tours, guide and the professionalism was fantastic. We also appreciated the two dinners you guys provided for us, as well as the visit to the mozzarella cheese farm excursion. It was a fun trip, thank you very much.
