Potential to be 5 star Potential to be 5 star. This tour was amazing and a strong value. Communication was not optimal, but knowing what to expect in that area- I would book again with this company. Airline seating for my party was NEVER together and no one seemed able to help. I expected more after hearing rave reviews about United Emirates. I am unsure why some in our group of 18 were able to pre-assign seats, while others were unable to. Clearer communication would greatly optimize as flights were over night and longer than 8 hours. An itinerary with each hotel would be an added bonus. I saw other agents itineraries posted in the lobby of the 2nd hotel. Updates were NOT on the phone app we were encouraged to download. We had to elect a group leader, who made sure everyone was aware of changes. At the end of the day- it was still a great value with top notch tours.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!
