Great Value Holidays Avis 

My wife and I recently used Great Value holidays for a 4 day break in Tuscany to see Andrea Bocelli in concert.
The concert was amazing and the organisation was very well done with lovely people.
Would definitely used the company again.

Very well organised holiday with friendly English speaking staff and guides. I was able to speak to a real person with queries before the holiday and when booking. Hotel and concert arrangements were exactly as described. Well done and thank you.

Everything was as the company listed and all was kept to good timing

Well organised trip. Helpful staff did their utmost to make the holiday successful.

THE Columbia Hotel in Montecatini Terme was excellent and Michelangelo Travel looked after us as well as could be expected at the somewhat chaotic Teatro del Silenzio. Would not recommend the Bocelli to anyone with mobility issues, for anyone else, an unforgetttable experience, the most spectacular concert I have ever seen.

We also took the Florence extension administered by Tomorrow Travel. We had no contact from them - didn't meet us to show us to the hotel and didn't let us know arrangements for airport pickup on last morning - we had to ring them. Florence itself was great of course and the hotel was well situated despite being a bit weird with a "Hell" theme.

Overall, enjoyed the trip and would travel with Great Value Holidays again.

Amazing trip! Always wanted to see Andrea Boccelli in Tuscany! He didn’t disappoint!
Unlike Great Value holidays! Wasted too much time at the airport upon arrival (appreciate they’d been an accident on motorway) , but they kept us waiting for the next flight to arrive , so as to double up on the coach! We chose an earlier flight to maximise our time!
Also, we booked half board…to actually find we was only booked for 2 out of 3 days! Great value decided not to pay on the day of the concert ! Fair enough, but we could have had lunch!! The Hotel was happy to do this…..only at our own expense! We’d already paid!
All in all, not very Great Value!

Recently went on a bucket list Andrea Bocelli weekend via GVH
Was first time using GVH so was slightly apprehensive
However, all information issued in advance was very clear and the management of the whole process from airport arrival to departure was faultless
The only minor comment I would make is that some people felt like the welcome sign held by the rep at arrivals should have been bigger to be be more visible
Overall though, absolutely exemplary

The concert was amazing with good reserved seats, access to the concert was poor especially for people with mobility issues.
The hotel did not have tea or coffee facilities in the rooms.

The whole experience was excellent. Couriers very helpful throughout the break, nothing too much trouble and also hotel staff very attentive and very friendly. The concert was amazing, Andrea Bocelli was superb. Would definitely use Great Value Holidays in the future.

Wonderful experience . All went as hoped Longer waits than expected & walking longer than expected in the heat to & from the venue on the day .
Performance once in a lifetime . Well worth the effort & the town is safe & pretty .. shops afternoon closures .

Wonderful concert. Great weather.

First time using Great Value Holidays as we wanted to see Andreas Botcelli’s concert in his own area and this company offered exactly what we wanted. We decided to stay for 5 days so we could explore the surrounding countryside. Good communication throughout, punctual and ease of pick ups and drop offs. Well located hotel spotlessly clean, courteous staff although slightly basic. Reasonably priced. Very pleased

Well organised throughout (though we didn't like our 6am departure flight)' good hotel, transfers and couriers.
The show was incredible though some people said it was better when it was smaller. Certainly the audience and everything about the show was massive. Our seats were right at the back and you had to be there very early to claim it, holiday sun loungers round the pool style. If more expensive, closer and numbered, seats had been available as an option we woiud have considered them

Overall the experience of our 4 days was average and I would certainly say it’s not Great Value!!
When you breakdown the costs I reckon we paid easily £400 per person over the odds for what we got.
We met another couple who travelled with another Travel Company and stayed one more night and had evening meals included and they paid £450 less than us per person, so £900 saving. That’s just an obscene difference for the same package!!

The local guides were very haphazard over info they provided, for example
1) we were asked to attend a briefing at 3.30pm before a 4.15pm departure to the concert, no briefing occurred just chatting with individuals then having got on the coach she walks down the coach just prior to leaving suggesting people should get comfortable shoes and a jacket. Incredible!!
2) In her briefing on the coach she told us 8/9 times the same details, it was embarrassing and treating us like kids. In her briefing she recommended we visit the local villages and not to enter the arena until 7.45-8pm. We ignored this and went straight in at 6.15pm, just as well as the stand we had tickets for was unreserved seating and by 8pm it was full and no seats were readily available.

I could go on but best to say if GVH want to know more they can contact me direct

The only issue we had with this package holiday was the hotel as we was given a terrible room to start with if we didn’t complain and eventually moved which took most of our arrival day to another room so not impressed

Everything was very well organised and the Andrea Bocelli concert a wonderful experience.
The hotel you allocated,although acceptable was up a steep hill,which we found difficult in the heat and at our age

Everything was very well organised, friendly helpful guides, itinerary kept to schedule

Montecatini, Tuscany for Andrea Bocelli concert.
The organisation from beginning to end was fantastic. Very professional and courteous throughout.
Transfers were on time, comfortable and totally efficient.
Couldn't fault any part of the holiday.
Special mention for Antonella, our host, fantastic- grazie mille!

Great package ie hotel, flights and connections. Excellent value for money.
