Hello
I am just about to book this holiday for the same date and also from Birmingham. I went to Lake Como in early June of this year. It was my first time with JY and first holiday on my own. It was lovely and I made friends very quickly. In fact, one of the ladies I met on that holiday and I are going together to Lake Maggiore next year as we got on so well despite the fact that she is in her early 70s and I in my late 40s - she is such good company! I would never hesitate on going on another holiday with JY anyway, even if I had to go 'on my own' again, as it was super. Hope to see you in Italy or on the plane next June!
