Potential to be 5 star Potential to be 5 star. This tour was amazing and a strong value. Communication was not optimal, but knowing what to expect in that area- I would book again with this company. Airline seating for my party was NEVER together and no one seemed able to help. I expected more after hearing rave reviews about United Emirates. I am unsure why some in our group of 18 were able to pre-assign seats, while others were unable to. Clearer communication would greatly optimize as flights were over night and longer than 8 hours. An itinerary with each hotel would be an added bonus. I saw other agents itineraries posted in the lobby of the 2nd hotel. Updates were NOT on the phone app we were encouraged to download. We had to elect a group leader, who made sure everyone was aware of changes. At the end of the day- it was still a great value with top notch tours.

Plan on Using Them Again Soon My sister and I used Mainly Vacation to visit Greece and Dubai. Brian called us before our trip and informed us that the tour before us had problems with the local tour company so they were going to use a different local company. We were picked up at the airport as planned and taken to our hotel. I could tell that Mainly Vacations was working out some bugs with the new local company, but we were kept informed the entire time. We received everything that we paid for. We had a great time in Athens, Santorini and Mykonos. In fact, we plan on going back next year. Because of the problems experienced with the new tour company, Brian upgraded us to the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai. It was spectacular. We're planning on doing the Croatia cruise with Mainly Vacation in the very near future.

Greece - August 2018 Working with Brian was great. He is very knowledgeable, responsive and flexible. When there were any issues he resolved quickly and exhibited great customer service in the process. We got a lot of value for our money and really enjoyed the tours, knowledgeable guides and experience. We already know where we’d like to travel for the next two years and will turn to Brian and Mainly Vacations for our planning.

My husband and I purchased the Italy… My husband and I purchased the Italy Renaissance Cities tour with Mainly Vacations. Upon our arrival in Rome we found out that the other 22 people that were suppose to be on the tour with us did not make the flight. So two 70 year old people that had not been to Italy before were on their own. Mainly contacted us everyday and gave us directions and information on our tours but we had to navigate the tours, the taxis, the train -dining. It was stressful but worked out. We have written confirmation that Mainly would reimburse us for our expenses - they have acknowledged that they have our receipts. We also have written confirmation of $500 that would be refunded to us due to the issue with the tour. After months of correspondence, Mainly no longer responds and we have not received any reimbursement. Very disappointed

I like don't do reviews but seriously I… I like don't do reviews but seriously I have recommended Mainly to all of my friends and everyone else deserves to know just how great everything went. I literally had the best vacation of my life!!! Everything was so nice and planned so good. Ive tried diying stuff before but it ends up stressing me out and Ive done stuff like once I booked my train to go from Florence to Bologna at the wrong time so I missed it and literally cried in the station. But anyways this time NO STRESS!!!! Tours were amazing, hotels were incredible. I just can't believe how easy and nice everything and everyone was. I'm never not booking with these guys again.
