Trips & Tour Packages from 1,000+ Travel Companies - Reviewed

It was convenient that the flight & hotel were booked as a package. For what we received, it was a good deal. The hotel had many pros and some cons. Flying Frontier was a nightmare, but it didn't have anything to do with Great Value Vacations. I would recommend Great Value to a friend or family member.

The hotels included in our Portugal vacation were top notch. The locations were great and the breakfast each day was a nice touch. I would have appreciated transportation to and from the hotels. I think that if I could change any aspects of GV independent packages, I would want more transportation provided, whether between the airport and hotel or bus pass cards to make it easier to get around the city. We have taken quite a few GV vacations and have been happy overall.

This was my husbands and my third trip with GVV and it was great. The islands were beautiful. However for the first time ever we were paired with another booking company “air Canada” for transportation between hotels and the same hotels where in the past we’ve had our own driver or another couple or two. Instead we were placed on a coach bus with some of the rudest people- yelling at the drivers/hotel staff, other travelers, smoking. It was embarrassing to be traveling with them. We were also under the impression we had upgraded to the fast ferries and instead we’re told we “upgraded our trip” but had no idea what this meant or entailed. Other than that the hotels were fantastic, beautiful ocean views, complimentary breakfast. The Kamari beach hotel was FANTASTIC. The location was perfect and made our entire island experience. Cant wait to book our fourth trip in the future with GVV!

Hotel wonderful good services 5 points but air line frontier real bad cancel a reschedule I’m lose my connection and paid more money

This company is slow to respond to inquiries (no matter if you're within the 3-day "emergency" window and/or already traveling). When excursions are canceled, they don't tell you ahead of time or try to rebook something else, nor do they offer a refund for that particular excursion. When given 3 month sof lead time, they refused to change or look into new flight options for my mother and I despite medical conditions for both of us that made the 16-hour layovers (on BOTH ends of the trip) difficult to manage. They did not accommodate this with hotel stays or anything. Be wary of the "Affordable" trips as this means the venue is typically for locals only so have confidence in Google Translate to help you with any occurrences. Thanks to this company, I'm willing to spend more elsewhere to get an experience worth having.

My biggest complaint is the distance between hotels and excursions. Everything was a 2-3 hr drive. Landed in Dublin and had to drive (first time in Europe) on the left side 2-1/2 hrs to Kilkenny after being awake for hours. Some hotels ended up being close to excursions we’d already done! Nothing made sense. We ended up missing the ring of kerry because it was a 3 hr our drive from our hotel to the bus (7 hour ride that left at 10 am) then 3 hrs back to hotel. No thanks! The arbitrary changing the times of excursions screwed us up too. We had to scramble to make adjustments with no help from GVV. I have a lot more to say but this was our biggest issue.

I had purchased travel insurance through Seven Corners for my daughter EF Tours Trip to Europe this summer. The coverage, as presented indicated that if there is a loss of job and we had to cancel the trip, the pre-paid expenses would be covered. I did unfortunately lose my job and submitted the claim with the requisite information showing evidence of loss of job. I had also called the EF Tours agents and they had indicated on three occasions that I would be covered. However Seven Corners denied the claim indicating that I had not held the job for more than 1 year. This was not indicated anywhere at the time of marketing or on the verbal guidance from EF Tours. In addition to experiencing the stress of a loss of job, I am now out of pocket over $2,700 and my daughter cannot go. I called EF Tours again to show to me where this verbiage was indicated - they committed to sharing that information but it was not presented.

Trafalgar cancelled our tour booking without our consent because I asked about if there was availability on another tour. Never did they mention that enquiring about another tour they cancel your existing booking. Now the tour is full and I have spent $18,000 on Qantas airfares and accom. Tour booked in Jan 2023 for Sept 2023 tour. Nobody takes responsible and nobody will call me to discuss. Family of 4 holiday ruined,.

I'd been looking for several days for a cheap flight from Berlin to LA without any overnight or inordinately long layovers. I'd never heard of this site, but somehow it popped up and--boom!--the perfect flight for the lowest price I'd seen anywhere. I booked immediately and got my confirmation the next day. Everything looks to be in order!

Everything is so well thought of and organized well.

The group tours and the hotel stay were excellent!

Our trip was changed last minute from Peru to Panama due to safety concerns in Peru. EF Tours came through with a wonderful option to Panama. The communication from EF Tours was great. Not too much and just enough to feel informed throughout the planning and prepping. The kids had a great time. It was a small group so they bonded and loved their guide so much. We look forward to traveling again with EF Tours

This trip was amazing. I had been looking forward to it for almost 3 years, and it exceeded my expectations! Vietnam is an incredible country, and this trip gave me a hunger to come back for more. Our guide, Thán, was wonderful. He couldn't do enough for us and was always 'on the clock'. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. This was an amazing, unforgettable experience.

At first they forgot to pick me up at the airport do I have to call my phone provider to help me how to get hold of the contact number in Mexico.
The tour was great and the places we went are very interesting.

I joined the South East Asia tour in Bangkok, from then my 30 day adventure began! What an adventure, with a great group of people and three different knowledgeable guides for each stage of the trip. Being 78 I can say ‘just do it’, no matter your age we were a group from age 20 to me!
