I have done many of the JY Tours over the last 4 years, I am very happy with the tours and the way we are looked after.I would suggest sitting and looking for a holiday that really appeals to you, and then BOOK it, as the other people will all have that holiday choice in common with you. People mix very well and very quickley, I always take a good book in case I get some quite time but that has never happened yet, there is always something to see and to do. Some of the USA tours I have been on are exhausting but I would say you do see and do so much that you can always sleep when you get back home. I feel very safe using this company, I am now 51, I do have a Husband at home but he does not like organized tours. Sometimes I travel on my own and sometimes with a lady (I have met 3 now on JY tours)if there is one we both like we travel and meet up on a tour. But I am more than happy to still travel on my own. I hope that you find a holiday you like and book it and try JY out.

I've been thinking about doing one of these organised tours for a couple of years now. I've been to America and Canada on my own (to visit friends there). So I am perfectly capable of travelling alone (though I don't enjoy it). But I hate to be alone when seeing new places - I want to be able to turn to someone next to me and say "Wow - look at that!."

I've dipped in here, reading all the positive comments, but I still feel very "weird" about the whole concept. And yet, it seems like a logical thing to do - I certainly can't face a future that doesn't include seeing new places and experiencing new things.

But I have qualms.

Is it "cliquey" on these tours? Do you have to fit a social or economic stereotype to fit in?

I have been on 2 Just You holidays and I can definitely confirm that there is nothing 'cliquey' at all about these holidays. On both trips everyone was friendly. Of course, some people spend more time with each other than with the rest of the group, but it is not possible to spend a lot of time with each and every group member! If I were you, I would pick a holiday you fancy and just go for it. You will not find yourself alone and will have lots of fun.

Regards

Like Jaya says in her message to you about people being clicky this has no been the case in the 6 tours I have done and I have 2 booked. Yes, certain people seem to group up but it is not exclusive, I have travelled on my own with JY Tours but have travelled with a lady who I met on a JY tour, as we like the same holidays, but if I am on my own or wih a friend I make sure I talk to and mix with all the people in the group, I would hate to feel left out and give that impression. You will find the tours are great fun, and people all mix in its only for a short time span, so just enjoy the people who you are with, I love to meet different ages and people so thats half the fun of the holiday for me.

I'm looking at the All-inclusive as I don't want to have to think about getting lunch, also Its been a long time since I last went away on my own, Is anyone planning to goto Greece on 12th september? would love to get to know what the age range is likely to be as i don't want to be too young (everyone on the coach was 55+) as I was last time I went on hols to Europe.

It seems to be a common worry for a lot of travellers with regard to the age range. After 11 trips, all of them a wide range of ages. It has never been a problem on any of the trips I have vntured on. Age it is only numbers. Stop freting girl, And just go for it and enjoy, I am also doing an all inclusive to Bulgaria next year. I am 50 going on 32. Am i to old to bungee jump ? lol

Have a good trip

So you were 38 then. I hope you enjoyed Kenya, Sounds like you did. But your next trip to Tuscany sounds pretty good, And this is also on my list. But not until 2012 as my trips are planned for next year already

Hi all

I've just got back from my first Just You holiday. I was the youngest there at 29 with the oldest being 85. The ages didn't seem to make any difference at all. I had a fantastic time and got on brilliantly with pretty much everyone but mostly with the older travellers. I'm sure the more younger people give it a try, the more it will catch on. As long as you're not expecting suntanning and partying, you'll really enjoy it.

Hi, i have just got back from my first J Y holiday and at a young 63 was concerned of been with much older people, one was 90 and the rest much younger, i nearly turned back before the airport ! glad i did not as the age range did not mater alt all, i had the best time ever, it was a large group 40, you could be with others or do your own thing, it has opened new doors for me, i say do it !
