JT Womens Tours - 2013 Brochure

2013

EXPLORE TRAVEL EXCITE FRIENDS ADVENTURE DELICIOUS EXPERIENCE EASY

WHY JTW OMEN? We extend to you an unique opportunity to join with like minded women and travel on our ‘Womens Only’ Tours to great destinations.

Our tours are designed by women for women.

We purposefully keep our group numbers small (maximum of 16 plus tour guides) so that you can experience an enriching and unforgettable travel experience.

The size of our groups is one of the most unique aspects of our tour. It allows us to stay at small, exclusive hotels and dine at amazing restaurants.

It allows us to participate in activities that larger groups can’t and it means we travel a lot faster!

Imagine 50 people boarding the coach or trying to check in at a hotel… and now think of the experience when there is 16 or less! You would be surprised at how much time is lost each day just boarding transport.

Who is a JTW (Jayes Travel Woman)?

Anyone wanting to travel the world with a great group of ladies!

We cater for married, single, divorced and widowed women; mother and daughters, grandmothers and grand daughters; and our tours are great for girlfriend getaways.

Some of the most popular feedback we receive is “my hubby doesn’t want to go there but I do!”

If you are a little hesitant about travelling by yourself these tours provide a sense of security.

It’s a great way to have a holiday and make new friends, sharing your adventures along the way.

At Jayes we don’t like to think of age as a restriction. If you want to see the world, you can have a laugh at yourself/with others and you are ready to experience new cultures, there is an ideal tour for you. But one of the questions we are regularly asked is the age of most JTW travellers. This does vary depending on the tour – our health retreats tend to attract a younger market and our longer tours an older market.

However roughly, the ladies are aged between 40-70 years. We are happy to disclose the age range of any tours you are interested in.

“

JTW tours strive to provide an unique experience to meet the needs of the modern day women – a balance of organisation, pampering, fun and free time to explore new destinations.

Most importantly we strive to provide you with a JTW tour that is very inclusive and great value for money. We include ALL of your transport, at least a 4 star standard of accommodation throughout (unless specified) and at least 2 meals per day with restaurants hand-picked by our JTW tour designers.

We also include more sightseeing than other tours.

We have little to no ‘optional excursions’. We know that in Venice you want to take a gondola ride, we know you will want to see a West End Show in London and we know you want to visit the Empire State Building in New York – so we include it all! When we mention a sight or attraction in the itineraries you can be assured we’ve included the entrance fees already for you.

You will be accompanied by one of our experienced and professional JTW leaders who is well travelled and has expert knowledge – all making your holiday as stress free and enjoyable as possible!

Another great feature of the tours are the included return transfers from your home address (Newcastle, Port Stephens, Central Coast and Sydney only). There is no need to worry about how you are getting to/from the airport.

Travelling alone? With a JTW tour if you are happy to share a room with someone you only pay the twin share rate. Or if you prefer your own room, a single supplement is available!

A JTW tour caters for everyone. When you compare the value there really is no other choice than Jayes Travel Women!

JT WOMEN

MEET ONE OFOUR...

TOUR DESIGNERS Michelle Barker What a great few years with Jayes Travel Women!

This is our second full brochure and we’ve taken ladies to Hong Kong, Hawaii, Italy, Egypt and many more exotic destinations.

As a co-owner of Jayes Travel it’s been a pleasure to provide these tours. But even more so, it is so rewarding to hear the wonderful stories from our JTW tour guides and travellers when they return home.

I travelled with the JT women to Hawaii on a 10 day adventure in 2011 – and what an adventure it was!

I always find it amazing how well everyone gets along on our tours. We are taking mostly strangers away as a group (and it’s of course daunting) but I find that the first thing everyone has in common is the want to travel and to see the world. From here it’s a piece of cake!

We want our tours to be an option for ladies who might not have someone to travel with, don’t want to be the third or fifth wheel on a group tour or just haven’t had the opportunity to travel - until now!

We put a great deal of research into our tour itineraries and inclusions. We hand pick the hotels and restaurants based on our own personal experience. We include exciting and unique activities that make each and every day a highlight. When we look at the finished product, we are always so proud of what we can offer.

Judith

My excitement with JTW first started when I received the email advising of an upcoming trip to Italy in September 2011.

During the Christmas break I decided to book my spot, which I did and spent the next few months waiting with much anticipation.

This trip to Italy was my first journey overseas and I was not disappointed. I was picked up from my home in Cessnock and delivered safely back almost a month later. I had the time of my life & given the opportunity would very willingly pack my bags in a jiffy.

I saw sights & sounds that I never imagined.

Our first week in Belargio was just amazing and proved to be just a taste of what was to come.

Among so many other highlights we walked the streets of Pompei, beautiful Venice & magical Florence. We had a cruise around the beautiful Isle of Capri, then a chair lift to the top of the mountain, just breathtaking. We also enjoyed a morning at a Cooking School in Tuscany, another highlight, with lots & lots of laughter and good fun.

I can highly recommend JTW to anyone wishing for the trip of their lifetime. Our host, June Barr, was exceptional!. Nothing daunted June and her knowledge and experience proved invaluable to us all. So, if you, like myself, would enjoy an adventure without any of the risks get in touch with JTW and get travelling

TOUR GUIDES June Barr

Travelling is my passion and I love to share this passion with as many people as possible. It is such a privilege and pleasure to have the opportunity to escort adventurous groups of JT Women to new and exciting destinations.

My experience of travelling with JT Women group has been amazing ,meeting new and wonderful women and watching strangers become friends, delighting in each others company and sharing their adventure.

As a Tour Leader my goal is to make the journey memorable, trouble free and an unforgettable experience for my travel companions ,also to give them ownership of their own holiday.

I am looking forward with much anticipation to meeting The Next JTW group and embark together on another fabulous journey.

One of Iguassu’s most famous features is a walk through the Devil´s Throat. It is the largest waterfall in the region and is best seen from the Brazilian side. Here, you’ll watch as 14 falls drop 350 feet (107 meters) with such force that a 100foot (30-meter) tall cloud of mist stays permanently suspended overhead. This is the area famous for rainbows, and great photo opportunities abound!
