Hi All, I would like to hear from fellow travellers on this trip and in particular anyone travelling like me from Stanstead.

Furthermore, if you having recently been on this trip it would be good to hear your views and in particular about the optional excursions. I understand there are some long days and am in two minds as to whether to book these or actually spend the time in Lovran.

Many thanks

Hi Linda

I and a couple of travel buddies did this trip in June. We opted to only do the boat trip but others also did the Llubyana trip and really enjoyed this. Lovran is a lovely little place and there is a nice walk along a coastal walk way to Opatja with plenty of coffee/drink stops on the way!

The hotel is fairly big and is popular with families. My advice is to pay the extra for a sea view room as rooms at the front of the hotel face onto the main road and traffic noise can be a problem.

If Vlatka is your tour manager you will find her to be friendly, efficient and enthusiastic about her native Croatia.

Hope you have a lovely holiday

Hi Ladies,

I did both options when I did the tour neatly 3 years ago and really enjoyed them.

A small group of us went to Ljubljana and had a lovely day, the guided tour was very good and it is a beautiful place, there is ample time for looking around and having lunch - remember to take Euros with you.

I was very lucky to have Vlatka (V) as my tour guide and she is amazing. We also had Branco as our driver and together they made a brilliant team, even doing an unplanned detour and stopping for a short time at Predjama Castle so we could see it. I would love to go back.

Hope you have a lovely time.

Caroline

Thanks Lesley & Caroline for your comments. Fortunately I have booked a sea view room which sounds like a good move as I struggle with sleeping when away as it is and I think I will book both trips mentioned.

Would love to hear from anyone else going on this holiday.

Many thanks

Hi Linda,

 I am also on this trip and flying from Stansted. I have booked the boat trip and the visit to Ljubljana. 

Look forward to meeting you at the airport

Hi Bren, thanks for your reply and I have decided to do both of these trips but not the one on last day of the holiday. I was surprised to hear so many people are flying from Stanstead as on previous Just You holidays I have flown from Gatwick or Heathrow. Look forward to meeting you on 12th.

Best wishes

Linda

Hi Linda

I am going on this trip but departing from Heathrow. I have booked onto the Ljubljana and Island Cruise trips.  First time with this sort of holiday so hoping all goes well! Whereabouts are you from?

Hi Linda

I am booked on this trip but am departing from Heathrow, shame because I would have preferred to go from Stansted but it wasn't listed as guaranteed when I booked. First time with JY and this sort of holiday. I have also chosen to go on the Ljubljana trip and Island cruise with BBQ.

Regards Alison

Hi Alison, sorry to hear you are not travelling from Stanstead so will look forward to meeting you at the hotel. Have been on a few JY holidays and pleased to tell you I have enjoyed all. Hopefully, I am not going to jinx this trip but in past I have always found everything well organised plus travelling companions nice and friendly I live on the coast near Frinton-on-sea .... is that anywhere near you?

Hi Linda, yes with all the problems that Heathrow have been having I think I will have to keep my fingers crossed! Pleased to hear your  experiences have been enjoyable. I live near Milton Keynes, must  be  lovely to be by the sea.
