Hi Alyson
Happy to help. I've been using JY (and formerly Page & Moy) for the last ten years. I've been very lucky and been on some fantastic trips including America's Golden West, Inspirational China, Iceland, Rome, Ireland, Eastern Canada, US National Parks, Ultimate Alaska (my favourite so far), Canada and the Rocky Mountaineer (a close second) and ofcourse the Pompeii tour. I've also been to Easter Island a couple of times (the first was completely on my own, before JY offered it as an add-on to the Chile tour)
My next one will be Ecuador and the Galapagos in March next year - very excited about extending my famous fridge magnet collection on that one!
Have an amazing time in Pompeii - Herculaneum is also really special. I hope you have Michelle as your TM and get Laura as your local guide because she's the third generation of a family of local guides and will make sure you get the very best experience - even if she has to manhandle bus drivers and other tour guides out of your way to do it - she's absolutely fearless!
All the best
Mandy
