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.

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.

GBBest customer service ever! Our trip to Rome, Sorrento, and the Amalfi coast was full of beauty, fun. Adventure, and fabulous food. Mainly vacations put together the most wonderful tours, along with free time at each location. We had some challenges on our trip such as a cancelled flight, and a change in our tour group size, but everything was managed and compensated for by our contact. Brian John, who kept in touch the entire trip and helped where needed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to see the South of Italy, and learn about the history and geography of the area.

GBTrip 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.

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.
