:DJust You have named this holiday Amazing Australia and I can unreservedly endorse this. I have just had an amazing holiday in amazing Australia. As usual with Just You the holiday was really well planned with some wonderful excursions included in the holiday and a wide range of optional excursions on offer. It was hectic but magical, just to give a flavour of the holiday, morning was in Alice Springs, evening sipping champagne as we watched the sunset on Ayres rock before having a lovely meal under the stars. The next morning we watched the sunrise over the rock, then got really close up with a couple of walks near the rock. That afternoon we flew to Cairnes and spent the whole of the day on the Barrier Reef! All these events were included in the holiday. Our farewell dinner was outstanding as it was on the Melbourne Tram.
The whole holiday was enhanced by the wonderful people in the group. We bonded quickly and shared many laughs. Everyone joined in the fun and were kind and caring. There were several Just You ‘virgins’ i.e. it was their first Just You holiday and they all enjoyed themselves and found that with Just You being a single traveller is fun and easy. They agreed Just You holidays are not cheap but they are good value.
The icing on this wonderful cake was our fantastic tour manager Sarah Wrightson. This was my tenth Just You holiday and I have had some good tour managers and some very good tour managers but Sarah took the role to a whole new level. She worked tirelessly to make sure the tour went as smoothly as possible. She relieved us of many mundane tasks like queuing for stamps, getting boarding passes and checking our cases were loaded onto the coach. When we arrived at a new hotel we were given an A5 sheet of paper with a summary of the itinerary for our stay, including breakfast times, times of departure, what to bring etc. these were invaluable. She also help us organise some trips which weren’t on either of the excursion lists. Nothing was too much trouble. Some of us took advantage of Just You’s offer to arrange a stay down under at the end of the holiday. Some of us were going to Aukland which meant a 4a.m. departure from our hotel. In spite of the fact that the main party weren’t leaving till the afternoon, Sarah was up to wave us off.
If you are thinking of going on this trip then I can thoroughly recommend it and if you have never been on a just You holiday before, go for it I am sure you will enjoy it more than you can imagine.
