Tanny was a 10/10 !!!

Tanny was very great in assisting with our travel, she did her best to accommodate the dates which initially did not work for us. She was very sweet and kind and patient and I will say one of the best customer service experiences. Tanny was 10/10 however I provided 4 stars because the groupon was not clear regarding what to expect and we thought because we were open to 4+ days we would automatically get an international trip which we did not, this was my reason for 4 stars but overall still a great experience and super excited for our mystery trip

Fees for everything

Fees for everything. I also was told to stay on the phone to write these reviews. No time to make a decision and felt very rushed.

Reply from Mystery Vacations2026-08-09

Dear Aliyah, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologise if you felt pressured during your interaction with our team. This is certainly not our intention, and we understand that customers should always have sufficient time to consider their options before making a decision. Regarding the fees, we would like to clarify that Mystery Vacations packages are based on the standard options included with the purchased deal. If a customer has specific preferences, upgrades, or requests for customisation, these may require us to manually check availability and pricing with our suppliers. As a result, additional fees may apply depending on the requested changes and supplier availability. We appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention, particularly regarding the pressure you felt during the review process. Your feedback is important to us, and we will ensure it is shared with the relevant team. Warm Regards, Team Mystery Vacations

Perfect Travel Itinerary

Travel Expert, Abhay, was wonderful. He listened well then put together a perfect itinerary for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. He was very polite, explained everything, and patiently waited on me while I read over the proposal. And the best part were the added extras like direct flight that's so worth it, advice on how to get around Paris, and complimentary treats to make our golden anniversary truly special. Thank you Abhay!

We wish you both an unforgettable celebration in Paris, a very Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary, and many more years of happiness and beautiful memories together! ✨💛 Warm regards, Team Mystery Vacations

THIS IS A SCAM

THIS IS A SCAM! There are so many hidden fees and upcharges that makes this trip extremely overpriced for what you get. If you book your own flights and accommodations, you will save yourself hundreds of dollars. I purchased 2 Gate A vouchers for $199 each. When the agent called me, they told me that my preferred airport didn't have availability and that I needed to pay an additional $50 per person to switch airports. Why would they advertise that they use a particular airport if that's not actually the case? And if they are forcing customers to change airports, we shouldn't have to pay an additional fee. Since I was given no other option, I paid to switch airports. After doing that, I was told my destination... a city within the state I live in and have visited multiple times. I was very underwhelmed so I asked if they could check another destination. I was given another destination but was told if I choose it, I will have to pay an additional $69 per person (on top of the additional fee I already had to pay to switch airports). I declined and went with the original destination. After spending nearly $500 for this trip, I looked up the cost of flights for my exact airports and dates... Round trip flights are $50 per person. So I paid 10x that for the "mystery" aspect. As far as hotels go, I don't know the exact hotel yet but I looked up options and hotels are very cheap for the dates of my trip. I could have booked this trip on my own (with my own preferred dates, not the ones they gave me) for less than half of what they charged me. I reached out to the company and expressed my concerns. I asked for a different destination or refund, neither of which they would honor. This company is unethical and has shady business practices.

My wife surprised me by booking one of…

My wife surprised me by booking one of the Mystery Vacation packages through Groupon as an early birthday trip for us. Since our birthdays are only a few weeks apart (hers is at the end of July and mine is in August), we usually try to take a trip together every year, so this sounded like a fun way to do something different. Prince called us within 48 hours, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about him. He was professional, incredibly patient, and never made us feel like we were just another customer. He took the time to explain how everything worked, answered every question we had, and helped us figure out the best travel dates and destination without ever making us feel pressured. We travel quite a bit, so finding a destination we hadn’t already visited wasn’t the easiest task. Prince worked through several options with us and helped make Denver happen, even though we had to adjust our original dates. He also helped us upgrade our package while finding the best value possible. For about $780, we ended up with round-trip airfare for two, four nights in a 4-star hotel, and a destination we’ve both been wanting to experience. That’s an outstanding deal in my book. What impressed me the most was that Prince genuinely cared about making sure we were happy with our trip. Good customer service is getting harder and harder to find these days, but he reminded me what it should look like. He’s a huge asset to the company, and if we book another Mystery Vacation—which I’m sure we will—I won’t hesitate to ask for Prince again. He made the whole experience easy, enjoyable, and something we’re really looking forward to.

Dear Scott, Thanks so much for your feedback! 😊 We're thrilled to hear you and your wife had such a positive experience. It’s wonderful that Prince was able to help make your birthday trip special and find a destination you’re both excited about. We'll be sure to share your kind words with him. ✈️🎉 Wishing you both an amazing time in Denver and a very happy birthday to you both! 🎂💙 Warm Regards, Team Mystery Vacations

Bad luck or bad service?

First, right as you receive your mystery vacation they make you leave a review. It feels like the customer service agent needs these in order to process the booking because they’ll wait on the phone. This makes a lot of the reviews a bit sketchy. Second, the airports that I selected on the websites didn’t align with what the service agent allowed me to select as airports to fly out of. Nothing out of my city with a major airport. Finally, my destination ended up flying me out of one of my selected airports INTO another one of the airports I selected as an airport I could fly out of. So basically I’m flying from one outbound destinations into another one of my outbound destinations. The policy is written so you can’t dispute anything. To add, you have to buy TWO tickets. Maybe I just have bad luck. If you don’t like any of the elements of your package they charge you a premium to change it; more than if I would just book on my own.
