Our 5 day break was very successful
Our 5 day break was very successful, 2 very good hotels, a little more advice as to how far the metro was etc would have been helpful.
A small hiccup was rectified satisfactorily.

The Northern Italy tour is really enjoyable and interesting, I would recommend it.
Claudia was a great guide and she gave us lots of interesting information about the places that we were visiting. All the places that we visited were lovely apart from the winery visit. I don't drink wine so I didn't enjoy this visit ,although we had a nice lunch there, but I know that other people on the trip did enjoy it and you can't please everyone every time, as different people like different things. The included dinners in the hotels weren't very good, especially the meat, but the rooms were nice. The location of Hotel Rosa was great, just a short walk to the lake, I had a lovely afternoon there when I arrived. The included lunch in Bologna was excellent, one of the best meals I had on the trip. It was great that we were able to do a group booking for the gondolas in Venice, this made it more affordable for everyone and I really enjoyed it. It was good having the guided tours and then having free time to look around on our own, Claudia was good about telling us were our meeting point was and what time we needed to be there. I really enjoyed my holiday, it was well organised and good value.

Bled is a very beautiful place
We were very lucky with the weather but Bled is a delightful place. The hotel was perfect although the price of food and drink is very high, luckily we were on half board. If I was asked would we do it again the answer is definitely yes

Really good value for money
Really good value for money. Before we left for our trip, needed to speak with someone from Great Value Holidays, that person was very professional, polite and helpful. Not once did we get put on hold or have to be put through to anyone else.
. The trip far exceeded our expectations. The accommodation and location was outstanding.

Very Good Value and Great Location
Our holiday included 4 nights at the hotel with breakfast, air fares, transfers and 2 excursions. All travel went smoothly. The hotel, an older building, was clean and comfortable. All staff were helpful and friendly. We had a problem with the TV, which couldn't be fixed, so they gave us a different room with a view of the Eyjafjord. The breakfast was substantial and catered for all preferences. We were picked up on time for our first evening excursion, and our knowledgeable guide was excellent. We were fortunate to see an amazing display of the Northern Lights. Akureyri, N.E Iceland is a relatively small town, and you can walk to the town centre with its tourist shops, cafes and most places of interest. Also, the buses are free.
Being winter, there were no tourist information shops open, but you can get a map and brochures from the Whale Watching Booking office near the Hof Cultural Centre. The Classic Whale Watching tour leaves from there at 1 pm, all year. The crew gave a running commentary of where to look, and we were fortunate to see 3 humpbacks diving and feeding about 1.5 hours from Akureyri. This tour was not part of our holiday package. The tour we had vouchers for was the Forest Lagoon thermal pools, but we weren't particularly keen and chose not to go. The pickup place in town wasn't clear, as our voucher mentioned 2 different places and times for the free shuttle.
Overall, this winter trip would suit people who are prepared to find their own way around and like to seek out new experiences. Be prepared for cloudy days and a cold wind, with temperatures about minus 4 to minus 10. We were lucky that most days had some sun and clear evening skies. Customer service in all places was excellent, friendly and helpful. We had an amazing time and would certainly go again.

Alayna: Thank you for sharing such a detailed review of your winter trip to Akureyri. We’re delighted to hear that your travel arrangements went smoothly and that you found the hotel clean, comfortable, and supported by friendly and helpful staff. We’re also glad the hotel was able to move you to another room when your TV was not working.
It sounds like you had some wonderful experiences during your stay, especially seeing the Northern Lights and spotting humpback whales—both truly memorable highlights of visiting North Iceland!
We appreciate your feedback regarding the shuttle pickup information for the Forest Lagoon. Clear communication is very important to us, and we will review this to ensure future guests receive more precise details.
Thank you again for your thoughtful comments and helpful tips for future travellers. We’re thrilled you had such an amazing time and we look forward to welcoming you on your next holiday.

Nice weekend in Gibraltar, the Sunborne Yacht is gorgeous. Two days was enough to see everything that Gib has to offer. Very good value.

Poor facilities
The restaurant on the top deck was closed. The sun deck was closed. The balcony in our room was not large enough for a chair. There was no comfort television lounge.

Dear David:
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate your comments and have also passed them on to our team for their awareness.
Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by the closure of the Barbary Restaurant during your stay. While we were not informed in advance of the timing of the closure, we understand that it was temporarily closed to allow for essential maintenance. The hotel ensured that all guests were advised of this at check-in and informed that breakfast would instead be served in the Gastrobar.
The sun deck was unfortunately closed due to health and safety considerations. During your stay, Gibraltar experienced wind gusts of up to 50 miles per hour, which presented a safety concern for guests.
With regard to your room, we apologise for any confusion. Your reservation was for a ‘Superyacht’ King Room, which features what we refer to as a ‘Juliet’ balcony. This particular room category does not include a separate lounge area.
Thank you once again for your feedback. We do hope that you were still able to enjoy a relaxing holiday overall, and we very much hope you will consider staying with us again when planning your next getaway.
Best regards: Great Value Holidays

The pool and sun deck are closed until further notice
On the face of it this was a good trip put together by Great Value Holidays to Gibraltar. Unfortunately the 5 Star Sunborn Yacht, permanently moored at Ocean View, Gibraltar was not fully functioning. The whole of deck 7 where the pool and sun deck are located along with the main restaurant were closed due to maintainace, and will continue to be closed until the end of March. This is a scheduled maintenance and guests should be told this when booking.
