Hi, it would be great if you could state the estimated price of each Optional excursion on the website and in the brochure. People would then get a better idea of how much budget they would need before they book a holiday. Some holidays have a lot of optional excursions which could make a big difference to the final cost. It would save having to ask JY for prices as and when any holidays look interesting. Thx Sue

Hi all, im not sure if im missing something. Perhaps there is a good reason why there isnt an

instant chat option on this site? I have been on one hol wth this company and will be going on another

this year as I really enjoyed it. This year im going to Malta. I think the forum is good, but needs to be

more user friendly and instant, as its quite difficult to link with people straight away.

Hi Halek88,

A slightly renewed Community is in our plans and we are hoping to make it so that users can post live to the site. The reason that we don't have this functionality at the moment is the high level of spam that gets in to the moderation queue.

Please bear with us - I promise we are working on it.

Kindest regards,

Julia

Hi Roger,

Not a problem - there will be 20 of you in total, 15 travellers taking the main tour only, 2 stopping off in Dubai on their way, and 3 staying in the southern hemisphere with the New Zealand add-on.

The Tour Manager provisionally listed for your trip is Ian Magnall.

I hope you have a wonderful trip.

Kindest regards,

Julia

Hello All,

Oh rats, missed the Spam and the 'Canadian Pharmacy' :P

Do agree with the photos as I have been on 4 tours and have lots of great photos. The early starts are not a problem. Getting up at 4 am with the Muezzin, cup of tea in hand, watching the valley come to life at Petra was magical. The trip through the Siq so early was worth it to see the sun rise up over the Treasury :)

I agree with timings of flights- so difficult when you are on your own. Our flight back from Zurich was 2 hours late. I also had to collect something from Hamleys in the shop and collect on return. Made my coach by 5 minutes after running 😞 The next coach would have got me home well after midnight.

I do like the home page, easy to work and see what there is in the way of holidays.

It would be nice to have early discounts on holidays when you could book and save money. Everyone else gives early booking discounts, why not Just You? I do remember being given money off vouchers back in 2010 when I went on the Jordan/ Sinai and Cairo trip, too early for my next trip so was unused :(

It would be an interesting idea to have a chat functionality on here Julia. I helped co-found and run a forum for some years and spam is always a problem. I recognise that this is why you have to have the moderating. I hope though that you can have a chat facility. It might encourage more people to join. I shall be "sting out" for the community forum at Costa de la Luz as always. :thumbup:

Hi Julia,

I agree with the "number of travellers" defaulting to 1.

Also, in November, I raised the issue of the prices of optional excursions. Currently, you have to go a long way into the booking process to find the cost of the optionals.

The printed brochures show this information on the one page.

Regards,

Dave

I agree with comments. Delete the reply section. Put the latest comments the given subject first. Have a list of tour managers when they are allocated - although personally I feel that knowing who the tour manager is is irrelevant. I have faith in JY to employ suitable people!

Thanks for your response Julia, good to know its in the pipeline. The forum has been very

useful to me as I have found people going on the same holiday as me. Looking forwards to

it 🙂
