I just finished reading the reviews… I just finished reading the reviews posted against Mainly Vacations and almost every one written is exactly the same problem I experienced, We booked a trip in Sept. 2018 for Italy in July 2019. Three weeks before the trip when I had not yet received any paperwork about the trip although been told numerous times all flights were arranged, I was finally told the trip was cancelled as it was a small group tour and 12 other passengers cancelled. We, too, were offered the independent tour but as we are in our 70s and taking our 12 year old granddaughter, we did not feel comfortable doing this. According to the terms and conditions, our deposit and final payment would be refunded. We received our final payment but have not yet received the $1,200 deposit. I have been told many times, that it would be coming. I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau with the hopes of getting my money back. Although their tours sound interesting, I would not trust this company to make it happen.

Greece - August 2018 Working with Brian was great. He is very knowledgeable, responsive and flexible. When there were any issues he resolved quickly and exhibited great customer service in the process. We got a lot of value for our money and really enjoyed the tours, knowledgeable guides and experience. We already know where we’d like to travel for the next two years and will turn to Brian and Mainly Vacations for our planning.

DO 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!

Excellently organized Excellently organized, with genuine desire to best serve the customer. Thank you Yannis, we really appreciate your care and professionalism that made our vacation a great delight. Also, the cruse directors Florentina and Ion were incredible charming organizers. That's a rare gift. We are glad to keep spreading the word about you. Thank you for our unforgivable vacation. Mihai & Mona MOS

Plan on Using Them Again Soon My sister and I used Mainly Vacation to visit Greece and Dubai. Brian called us before our trip and informed us that the tour before us had problems with the local tour company so they were going to use a different local company. We were picked up at the airport as planned and taken to our hotel. I could tell that Mainly Vacations was working out some bugs with the new local company, but we were kept informed the entire time. We received everything that we paid for. We had a great time in Athens, Santorini and Mykonos. In fact, we plan on going back next year. Because of the problems experienced with the new tour company, Brian upgraded us to the Fairmont Hotel in Dubai. It was spectacular. We're planning on doing the Croatia cruise with Mainly Vacation in the very near future.
