GBMy 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

GBI 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.

GBDON'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!!!!!!!!

GBTrip was fantastic Trip was fantastic! Beyond the issue with out flights being cancelled on the way to Greece I dont have any complaints. A suggestion would be to tell people important items to bring like a wind breaker because my research said spring temps and it was actually cold.
