GBDO NOT BOOK WITH MAINLY VACATIONS!!! DO NOT BOOK WITH MAINLY VACATIONS!!! We were a group of 11 who booked a trip to the Almalfi Coast with Brian John and he stole our money and didn’t book anything. We checked with the transportation companies and hotels that he claimed to make reservations with and they all confirmed that he never made any reservations and they never even heard of him. He claimed afterwards that someone in our group cancelled the entire trip with someone named “Luigi” ( our trip was to Italy ) which was nothing but a big fat lie! Do yourself a favor and find a reputable company so your vacation is not ruined like ours instead of using this lying scam artist!

GBDo 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.

GBOverall 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.

GBAegean 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.

GBGreat value for the price Great value for the price, air, hotels, transportation and tours. Had some minor issues with land tour operators as they used independent local tour operators and the information they received did not always coordinate with what Mainly gave them. The full day local tour guides were great. The only major problem was they gave us the wrong pick up time at the hotel for the Dhow Dinner cruise in Dubai and we waited in the hotel lobby for over 2 1/2 hours! Overall the itinerary and tours were done well.
