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.

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

Fraud Fraud! DO NOT BOOK WITH MAINLY VACATIONS. reference a previous post by the Gummos....brain John's never booked our trip to the almalfi coast. Leaving 11 people stranded at the lamezia train station...no vouchers no hotel reservations no transfers. We called hotels and verified he never made the reservations. Never sent documents in his travel app. Tried to blame It on our "group leader" however kathy and randy did contact him to find out why we never recieved info. We did. Ot change the reservation or request cancellation....he never made the reservations.....we are now collecting names of others to formulate a class action law suit.....DO NOT BOOK WITH MAINLY VACATIONS OR BRIAN JOHN

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 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.
