:shy:   I am a very nervous first timer off to Andalucía from Gatwick on Thursday 23th October - it has taken me ages to get the courage to book and now I am at the very nervous/excited/worried/thrilled/dreading it stage!

Friends and relatives keep saying to me 'good luck' and 'how brave you are' -  I am beginning to understand how Tim Peake must have felt before he jetted off to space!

So any words of reassurance would really help me get over these wobbles.....

Hi Helen,

This was my first tour with JY back in 2010 and I've now done 13 tours with two more booked!  Like you (and just about everyone else) I was nervous beforehand but once I landed in Malaga and met the rest of the group my nerves disappeared and I had a lovely week.  I palled up with two ladies who were great fun and I did all the excursions.  I had a wander around Mijas on the free day, it's a lovely town to look around and I met some of the group on the way and had a great lunch with them.  This is a great tour, not too hectic, to an interesting part of Spain.

If I hadn't taken the plunge initially, I would have missed out on so many amazing tours since - I have been all over the world with JY and I can honestly say it has changed my life!

Hope you have a brilliant time,

Bob

HI Helen, I did this tour about three years ago, it wasn't the first JY tour I'd done. I do remember that I was concerned the first trip I did - but I needn't have worried, everyone's in the same boat and there to have a good time.

Its a great tour to try out JY, the hotel is walking distance to all the shops, restaurants in Mijas and there's a lot there. I did all the included excursions and the optional trip to the Alhambra - didn't do the trip to Gibraltar. I think the trip usually has a largish group, in my case I tended to be part of a group of 4/5 others but it was pretty flexible.

Regards Katy
