Hi Jo, welcome! I'm from Co. Wexford and have been on two JY hols, with two more booked! I was delighted to discover JY and have found everyone to be really friendly and the holidays are very well organised. Just two bits of advice - JY won't organise connecting flights from Dublin, so I travel from Belfast to join the main tour group (connecting flights booked by JY). The advantage of this is that if flights are delayed or cancelled, it's then JY's responsibility to sort out new flights, whereas if you book flights yourself from Dublin or wherever, then it's up to you to sort them out if there is a delay or cancellation, or pay for new flights. Also, if you're booking a holiday that requires a visa you are better off organising it yourself, as otherwise you would have to send your passport to them and there could be complications with the relevant embassy if they are trying to get a visa for a non-UK passport for a non-UK resident! Other than that, go for it and you will have a fantastic holiday with great people!
