Great hotel, excellent location. Baggage fees were not included with the flight package and were extremely costly. Transportation to and from the airport was included.
Our trip to Iceland was absolutely fantastic and truly unforgettable. We stayed at Hotel Múli, which exceeded our expectations—spotlessly clean, a great breakfast each morning, and very helpful, friendly staff. While it’s not right in downtown Reykjavík, it’s conveniently located near a city bus stop, and the bus system was easy to navigate, making getting around simple and stress-free.
The tours were incredible and easily one of the highlights of the trip. The landscapes were breathtaking, and every excursion felt well-organized and worth it.
We flew with Icelandair. The flights were fine overall, but no meals were included, and checked baggage came at a high additional cost, which was a downside.
Despite those minor drawbacks, this was an amazing trip from start to finish. Iceland is truly magical, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone—overall, a fantasy trip come true. ✨❄️
First time to book here and I would say it was definitely a seamless experience. I will book here again with my whole family. Such a great deal and experience!

My vacation with Great Value was everything they promised. I did not have any issues. Both resorts that we stayed at were wonderful. I will definitely book another vacation with Great Value Vacations.

Overall, great getaway. My wife and I went with another couple on a seven day trip to Ireland. The itinerary offered us flexibility to arrange to see the sites we wanted to visit. The flights were good with some long connections, but we made the best of the wait. The compact rental car was provided by Enterprise. The car was a small but adequate. We probably should have considered upgrading the vehicle with four adults and luggage. The accomodations were very good. The majority of the stay was in Killarney at the Castlerosse Resort in a cottage. The cottage was comfortable, with phenomenal views of the lake and mountains, but lacked day to day amenities (paper towels, dish washing liquid, etc). Those items were easy enough to find at the local grocer. This is our second time using Great Value for an Ireland getaway and both experiences have been positive. We will continue looking for other getaway opportunities.

Our Iceland vacation package was absolutely wonderful—especially for the price. We had an amazing time from start to finish. Everything was well organized, from the flights to the Blue Lagoon, and the hotel was fabulous. The food was excellent, and the staff everywhere we went were truly phenomenal. One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the Northern Lights—we were incredibly fortunate to witness them on the night of our excursion, and it was absolutely breathtaking. This was a 4-day, 3-night trip that exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this package and will definitely be booking another trip with Great Value Vacations.

Great hotels except for one good tours except for one one tour we called in advance as requested and they were booked two days in advance when the instructions said to call them 24 hours ahead this was the Galloway tour and we were there in the off season so booking should not have been a problem. The one hotel that was a little lacking was not the hotel itself it was great but that hotel has absolutely no parking and that hotel was the last night of our trip where we had a rental car that we had to turn in the next morning at 5:00 AM. We had to risk the car parking along a street in a sketchy neighborhood and we were lucky to find that parking space 'cause there is no real parking in that entire neighborhood if you're going to give somebody a rental car they have to have some place to park it especially if they have to turn it in at 5:00 AM the next morning. This hotel was the address in Dublin. They were shocked that we even had our own vehicle'cause hardly anybody who goes to that hotel has one they either take a train a taxi an Uber or something. Otherwise the tour was 100%

The 3 middle of the night pick up times in a 7 day trip was brutal and not timely to explore the city

We had difficulty getting to our destination because of the winter weather in the entire eastern half of the country so we lost 2 days of our vacation. We tried to change our dates and also to get credit for the unused hotel stays. We could not get anything refunded. Also, when we arrived at the hotel, we were told our reservation was cancelled even though we had emailed the hotel directly to tell them we would be late because of cancelled flights. Then the hotel told us we had only paid for one room, not two. Finally, we got everything straightened out. It was not how we wanted to start an already stressful beginning to our vacation. The resort was an all-inclusive. The food was excellent (except for one restaurant.) The liquor quality was sub-par at all bars except one which we finally found on our last full day there. GVV still won't do anything about our lost time and money for the entire vacation. I guess that is how they can offer good deals so be careful when you book with them.

The selection of the sites we visited, our guide, the comfort of the bus, and the hotels were all excellent.

Get the insurance! You cannot change anything unless you bought their insurance. Otherwise, the trip was exactly as stated. I had a great time in Iceland.

The Timing and flight are perfect for the long get away weekend !

Everything was good until the last morning when we awoke to a message from SAS airlines that flight 1 of 2 home was cancelled. I sent an email to the GVV emergency contact as the phone stated they were closed. It took 3 hours for a reply, after SAS had already rebooked us on united airlines! A faster response system is needed!

Great tour package , we thoroughly enjoyed each and every hotel location & stay, destination and the train and flight arrangements were perfect.
We will chose Great value vacations in our future travels .
One thing I would like to mention is the the last hotel we stayed at in Prague , charged us a city tax for the two nights of stay which was not expected of.
Otherwise a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ tour !!!

We took the 8 night vacation to Tuscany! We stayed in an apartment on the grounds of Castle Montegufoni. It’s January so off season but the views are beautiful nonetheless. We had a rental car included so we drove to Florence, Siena, Pizza, Lucca, La Spezia and Genova. We had a wonderful trip.

Everything was great and planned out with no surprises. We ended up booking our own hotels and paying out of pocket in Florence and Rome since the package hotels were so far from the train station and major attractions. I was especially surprised to find the hotels in our package, which were further, were only about 20 Euros cheaper that the ones we got right by the train station, i wish that had been planned a little better.

Overall This was a really good deal and we had a great time. While looking at the website for great value I had a little trouble with upfront pricing on the calendar, but calling customer service resolved it and I was able to book over the phone with a very helpful agent. My only advice to others is to note The flight was the bare minimum and bags were not included, which was a little challenging, nor was transportation to the resort or any complimentary breakfast at the Outrigger. PS- the “manta Ray experience” advertised on the brochure is actually not included as implied either it is an extra 200pp. When I asked why it was listed in the brochure the receptionist told me very condescendingly that meant there were posters in the wall downstairs we could look at (!!) there were lots of extras to buy, the deal is for the bare minimum flight and resort only- but at the end of the day this was a cheap way to make a family Hawaiian vacation happen and it was beautiful. I will say the pool at the Outrigger is amazing and that was included.

I did not like that at the end of my stay I had to pay hotel taxes for each day I stayed at the hotel. I should have been told upfront. Also, breakfast was not included in the deal. I had to pay for breakfast every day. I wish all these weee explained to me from the beginning.
