Overall Good Trip Value - above average for the price.but not excellent Lodging - excellent (Athens, Santorini, Mykonos & Dubai) Guide support - outstanding in Athens; good in Santorini & Mykonos; less than satisfactory in Dubai. We had to negotiate for the bus to take the group back to the hotel, versus being left at the mall and securing our transportation. Emirates -- difficulty checking in online; not assigned a seat next to your travel partner to Athens & Dubai Emirates changed baggage policy on February 1, 2019, MV should have spearheaded a discussion with the airline to ensure no problems. Considering the fact that MV was paid long before Feb. 1st. I hold MV totally responsible for the poor seat assignments and not being willing to speak to airlines on our behalf. Finally, the travel APP would not work (or load properly) on my IPhone 7. Some in our group which did have access notice the APP was inadequate because there weren't any updates with revisions.

Trip was fantastic Trip was fantastic! Beyond the issue with out flights being cancelled on the way to Greece I dont have any complaints. A suggestion would be to tell people important items to bring like a wind breaker because my research said spring temps and it was actually cold.

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.

I have used Mainly Vacations over and… I have used Mainly Vacations over and over again on travel both for flights for short trips domestically as well as for my yearly vacations with my husband internationally. Their knowledgeable staff really helps since I don't always know exactly where I want to go. They have never steered me wrong and I've always had a great time. I will continue to use them.

Do not book tours with this company Do not book tours with this company. I, my son and his friend paid our money to visit London and Paris for a week from 9/14/19. Days before the trip, my son told me the trip was canceled. The company didn’t have the decency to let me know. Later found out, they never booked any flight, and of course they are supposed to be refunding the money within 5-15 business days.
