Trip to Israel Getting through the security of El Al at JFK was a headache and I was concerned that the trip to Israel would be like vacationing in a prison. However, to the contrary! Once we landed in Tel Aviv, ground transportation was set up to take us to our hotel. There were wonderful tour guides and drivers to take us around. We also flew to Jerusalem with no issue. The sights were awesome and the hotels we stayed in were just incredible. This trip was well organized and probably the best experience I’ve had overall.

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.

Aegean Vacay My experience was great. This was my first time going to Greece as well as taking a cruise. The vacation package I selected from Mainly Vacations was very accommodating. From the time my family, friends and I arrived in Athens we were greeted by friendly and hospitable people. From the hotel staff Athenian Callirhoe hotel to the Celestyal Cruise crew felt welcome.The tour guides were very informative. I was able to gain so much knowledge on Greek culture on my brief stay. I will definitely book with Mainly Vacations again.

DON'T DO IT!!!! If I coul take the whole experience back .. I would . I booked a trip to the Amalfi coast with Brian John who did nothing but scam us. We absolutely were recommended to Mainly Vacations from another friend.. but believe me that was NOT our experince. We got on a train to Naples with fake tickets, and only to find out with absolute confirmation with each of the hotels that we were to stay.. that reservations were never made. Brian John did not book our trip like we had commisssioned him to do. I have in my possession every piece of confirmation that supports that he did not do what he was paid to do.i will make it my mission to help other travelers not to make this same mistake, Do Not Book With BRIAN JOHN!!!!!!!!

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.
