We recently travelled to Amsterdam with Just Go! and had a wonderful time. The included Canal Cruise was very informative and a great way to see the city from the water. The weather was warm, but there are plenty of places to get a drink ... from food take-a-ways to pubs. We sat by the canal and had a drink in the shade. What a great day.

A Bridge Too Far - Operation Market Garden

5 Days from £529 May, Jun, Sep & Oct

The year is 1944 and, in the skies, high above the Netherlands, British paratroopers of the First Allied Airborne Army get ready to drop. We trace the footsteps of the fallen soldiers and journey into the heart of Operation Market Garden, visiting drop zones and key locations of deployment. Joined by a knowledgeable Battlefield Guide, we visit key towns such as Arnhem and Oosterbeek, as well as landing zone memorials, museums and much more.

HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHT

Arnhem

The Battle of Arnhem, often referred to as ‘a bridge too far’ saw fierce fighting and significant losses on both sides. Today, Arnhem stands as a symbol of courage. British soldiers were trapped inside the town for almost four days and the men of the British Airborne First Division bravely fought against an onslaught of German forces that greatly outnumbered them. Ultimately the Allied troops were unable to secure the bridge, resulting in defeat. The British 1st Airborne Division suffered 8,000 men dead, missing or captured out of a total of 12,000.

During our visit we witness the city’s daily act of remembrance, The Last Post, played in honour of those who fell in the Ypres Salient from 1914-1918. At exactly 8pm every evening, the police stop traffic around the Menin Gate Memorial to let the buglers complete the world-famous fanfare; an incredibly moving experience that should be observed first-hand.

On this break we journey to the Belgian and French battlefields immortalised in McCrae’s poem, which saw some of the most intense

fighting of the First World War and thousands upon thousands of casualties. Across Flanders Fields, cemeteries and memorials proudly honour those who fought for our freedom, laid to rest in eternal comradeship across the Ypres Salient, Arras and the Somme areas. We discover these symbols of commemoration over three informative days with a battlefield guide, learning stories of enduring bravery and sacrifice at key sites such as Tyne Cot Cemetery, Menin Gate Memorial (where The Last Post is played every evening), Vimy Ridge Memorial, Lochnager Crater, the preserved trenches at Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial Park and much more.

Great Raids of WW2 - St Nazaire & Dieppe

5 Days from £599 May, Jun, Sep & Oct

The Second World War saw a whole host of daring raids and dramatic operations which are all testament to the bravery of our ‘Darkest Hour’. On this break we stay in three different French locations to delve into these tales of sacrifice with a Battlefield expert, starting with the seaborne Dieppe Raid, where the Allies learnt crucial lessons for the success of the D-Day landings. Conversely, Operation Chariot is regarded as one of the greatest raids of all time, as the destruction of St Nazaire’s dry dock meant that the Germans could never send their biggest warship to target Britain’s all-important Atlantic convoys.

HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHT

St Nazaire & Operation Chariot

Operation Chariot took place in March 1942. The port of St Nazaire was believed to be a safe haven for Tirpitz, Hitler’s prized battleship, so cutting the Germans off from this strategic stronghold was a priority. The operation began with a distraction from the RAF, who dropped bombs near St Nazaire, while the undercover HMS Campbeltown was lodged atop the gates of the dock entrance, full of timed explosives, allowing time for men to disembark, engage in combat with German forces and destroy their significant equipment before the explosives were detonated. The explosion killed 40 senior German officers, along with 320 others, and destroyed the dry dock. Although many British fighters were sadly killed or captured, 89 participants were honoured, with five Victoria Crosses being awarded for bravery.

A Tale of Two Beaches - from Dunkirk to Normandy

5 Days from £599 May, Jun, Sep & Oct

Join us on a thought-provoking journey, as we delve into the stories of the Second World War and uncover the lesser-known accounts of what happened during those fateful and victorious days. We explore the beaches of Normandy, the shores that saw the largest seaborne invasion in history, and learn more at the fascinating Overlord Museum. We also discover the extraordinary determination involved at Dunkirk, with our guided tour of the beach and visit to the War Museum of Operation Dynamo.

HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHT

Operation Dynamo

Also known as the Dunkirk Evacuation, the rescue mission ‘Operation Dynamo’ in 1940 was truly remarkable. After the German invasion of Poland in 1939, war was declared by France and the British Empire but by May of the next year, the German troops had trapped the British Expeditionary Force along the northern coast of France. Over a few days from late May to early June, it was then that a grand fleet of over 800 vessels miraculously rescued the stranded troops, against the odds. We learn more on our ‘Dunes of Dunkirk’ guided tour, before heading to the War Museum of Operation Dynamo for another guided tour, to discover more about the heroic efforts, key decision-making and the boost the success created for British civilian morale.

The Beautiful Black Forest

9 Days from £849 May, Jun, Aug & Sep

The Black Forest is renowned for its dark green coniferous trees, half-timbered houses and rushing waterfalls. This breathtaking region must be seen to be believed, the landscape so astounding and inspiring, it’s no wonder the Black Forest is one of the most picturesque regions to visit in Germany! Our tour takes us into the very heart of the Black Forest to fairytale-like villages nestled amongst the mountainside and elegant German towns, such as Baden-Baden and Freiburg.

ITINERARY

Day 1

Ferry to Calais and overnight stay in France on a bed and breakfast basis.

Day 2

We continue on to our hotel in Oberharmersbach, stopping en-route in the beautiful city of Strasbourg. Day 3 – Scenic tour of the Black Forest (Rottweil & Triberg)

We tour the hauntingly beautiful Black Forest, home to centuries of German history. Our scenic adventure begins with the oldest town in Baden-Württemberg, Rottweil. The name might sound like the dog breed, Rottweiler, because Rottweiler is descended from drover dogs left by the Roman Legion in Rottweil! The town has an attractive Old Town of towers, churches and fountains and is famous for its medieval centre which has changed very little in appearance since the 16th century. Next, we head to Triberg in the heart of the Black Forest. You’ll notice walking around the centre of Triberg, a large amount of Black Forest gâteau in the windows and cuckoo clocks. Triberg is the birthplace of the original Black Forest Cherry cake recipe! And if that’s not impressive enough, Triberg is also famous for having the world’s largest cuckoo clock (which is the size of a two-storey building) and for having the largest waterfall in Germany – falling an impressive 163 metres in a series of cascades.

Day 4 – Optional excursion to Freiburg & Lake Titisee (£16pp)

Here, we can admire the crystal-clear glacial waters and take pleasure in the beautiful scenery along the lakeshore. Additionally, we can explore numerous small stores offering handmade products and local food delicacies.

After spending time at Lake Titisee, we next head to the charming medieval town of Freiburg. You’d be forgiven if you think you’ve stepped into a fairytale – a city full of beautiful, cobbled squares, colourfully painted houses, red terracotta roofs and the famous Münsterplatz, a square in the heart of the city, home to Freiburg’s famous food market and the Historisches Kaufhaus, or Merchant’s Hall. Towering above the square is the grand cathedral, the 11th-century Freiburger Münster.

Day 5 – Day at leisure

Day 6 – Baden-Baden & Freudenstadt

We make our way to the pretty spa town of Baden-Baden. Set against the backdrop of the luscious and enchanting Black Forest, reminiscent of the Brothers Grimm fairytales, Baden-Baden is a magical and elegant town built on thermal springs which has made it an ideal spa getaway for centuries.

Back at the hotel, more delicious food awaits at tonight’s gastronomic dinner.

Day 7 – Château de Beynac & Lascaux II

For our last excursion we make our way to Château de Beynac, one of Dordogne’s most well-preserved castles, and follow in the footsteps of Richard the Lionheart, Eleanor of Aquitane and Simon de Montfort. The fortress was built in the 1200s and has watched over the river for centuries, bearing witness to the struggle for power during the Hundred Year’s War. Look out for the Renaissance staircase, the impressive defensive keep, the 13th-century kitchen and the intricate tapestries on display, which provide a fascinating window to the past. We continue to Lascaux II, the first replica of the significant Lascaux Cave and a must-see while in this region.

We fly into Colombo and transfer to the Colombo Courtyard Hotel, by Marriott, where a warm welcome awaits, along with a welcome drink and refreshing cold towel.

In the late afternoon, after settling in at the hotel, we enjoy a guided city tour of Colombo, the largest city and former administrative capital of Sri Lanka. A vibrant city, with a mixture of modern life and remnants of a bygone colonial era, Colombo is home to many historical landmarks and contemporary architecture, showcasing a rich cultural heritage. Due to its large harbour and strategic position along the East-Western trade routes, Colombo was known to ancient traders 2,000 years ago but was only made capital when Sri Lanka was ceded to the British Empire in 1815. Our tour takes us to Colombo’s historical, religious and commercial sites, including the historic and bustling Fort and Pettah, the elite residential Cinnamon Gardens and the Galle Face Green, as well as a drive by the newly opened Lotus Tower.

Later, we enjoy a welcome dinner – a chance to relax and get to know the other group members.

After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and head to the town of Dambulla, a UNESCO World Heritage site. After check-in at the Tropical Life hotel, we enjoy lunch in the main restaurant before setting off for our jeep safari at the Minneriya National Park.

Famous for its large wild herds of elephants, which congregate on the edge of rivers and reservoirs to bathe and socialise, this park is one of the best in Sri Lanka to see these wild giants in their element, as our jeep takes us close to the herd for a better view of this beautiful sight. A mixed forest of 8,890 hectares, the park is overflowing with evergreen shrubs and consists of grasslands, marshes and deep woods. This vast range of ecosystems supports incredible biodiversity, creating a wildlife refuge – the Ceylon fish owl and sea eagle are among the bird species you may spot. The park is home to leopards, deer, sloth bears and monkeys, including the purple-faced langur and macaques. Later, we return to the hotel and have the rest of the evening to spend at leisure and enjoy dinner.

Day 4 – Sevanagama Village Tour & Polonnaruwa

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Sri Lanka’s rural life with today’s unique excursions, on which we discover stunning natural sites plus diverse wildlife and gain insight into the rural lifestyle of the people who live here.

Day

– Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya, Kandy & the Temple of Tooth

This morning, we enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the hotel and then visit Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. Elegant and spacious, Sri Lanka’s largest garden is 147 acres and home to over 4,000 different species of plants, including beautiful orchids, ferns and palms. The 10,000 or so mature trees, many tropical timbers, gently sway like lofty giants, creating a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. Highlights of the collection include the Giant Bamboo of Burma, which rapidly grows 30 centimetres a day and can reach a height of 40 meters.

In Kandy, we stop for lunch at a local restaurant and continue to the Temple of Tooth. Considered the foremost sacred place of worship in the Buddhist world, the temple guards one of Lord Buddha’s teeth, preserved in a gold casket, resting on a beautiful solid gold lotus flower and encased in jewelled caskets upon a throne.

Yala National Park

Minneriya National Park

Dambulla

A stroll across the city, cradled by mountains among misty hills, takes us to the centre of Kandy. The spiritual heart of Sri Lanka, the city is a unique blend of nature and luxury, where a shiny shopping complex sits alongside a peaceful central lake. Explore the marketplace, locally known as a bazaar and the arts centre, as well as a gem museum and lapidary, ahead of a refreshing coconut drink from one of the many colourful fruit stands in the market.

Day 7 – Tea Plantation & Nuwara Eliya

We check out of our hotel and journey to Nuwara Eliya, stopping en route to visit one of Kandy’s tea plantations.

Nuwara Eliya, meaning ‘the city of dawn,’ sits at the highest elevation in Sri Lanka and its tallest peak, Piduruthalagala, can be seen from here. We enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before check-in at Heaven Seven Nuwara Eliya, with the rest of the day to spend at leisure.

Day 8 – Yala National Park Safari

We enjoy breakfast before leaving for Yala. On arrival at the Elephant Reach Hotel, we settle in and have lunch here.

Later in the afternoon, when wild animals become active and search for food, we set off for a 4WD jeep wildlife safari into the national park. We explore many wondrous sites today and try to catch a glimpse of the magnificent yet elusive leopard. Wild boar, deer, elephants, bears, peacocks, flamingos and many more animals roam freely as nature intended, while elephants gather at waterholes to drink and bathe their young.

We return to the hotel for our evening meal and enjoy time at leisure.

Day 9 – Galle Dutch Fort & Bentota

After breakfast at the hotel, we check out and leave for Bentota, with an en-route visit to Galle Dutch Fort. The picturesque town of Galle was the centre of Dutch rule in the 17th century and its history is depicted in the majestic Fort. The city is one of the best-preserved colonial-era locations in Southeast Asia and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk on the old ramparts and admire the amazing views of the sea or shop for souvenirs and traditional crafts at the boutiques. After some exploring, we stop for lunch at a local restaurant and continue to Bentota, where we check in at the Ekho Surf Hotel. We spend the evening at leisure and enjoy our dinner.

Day 10 – Optional excursion to Madu River

Today, you can choose to have a day at leisure or join us on a discovery of the Madu River.

On the Madu River cruise, we witness the timeless natural rhythms of rural life and stop to watch local farmers go about their daily work of cinnamon planting and coconut leaf weaving. We journey through an eco-reserve, considered a breeding ground for many endangered species of plants and animals. An ornithologist’s paradise, this wetland has approximately forty-six species of birds, including fourteen aquatic varieties. Watch out for the water monitors, kingfishers, eagles, monkeys and colourful butterflies!

This evening, we gather for our farewell dinner.

Later, we enjoy a leisurely afternoon at our hotel.

The town was once home to the Pirates of Omiš in the 13th and 14th centuries, who used Sagittae, very fast boats, to raid traders along the Adriatic coast. They would then retreat into the Cetina River where larger ships could not follow them. Nowadays, Omiš is a popular tourist destination and the Old Town is dotted with historical landmarks such as the fortress Mirabella, a 13th-century edifice. Another place worth exploring is the fortress Starigrad, located at the mountain peak behind the Old Town.

We fly to Lisbon and transfer to the Hotel Cristal Viera Praia & Spa, where we stay for the next five nights.

This morning, we take a guided walking tour of Praia da Veira to get our bearings. Still a fishing community, it has plenty to offer its visitors along the pretty seafront.

Later, we head to the nearby town of Marinha Grande, the centre for Portugal’s glass industry, once spearheaded by English entrepreneur William Stephens.

Day 4 – Óbidos, Nazaré & Alcobaça

We head to picturesque Óbidos, a designated UNESCO Creative City and City of Literature, surrounded by a fortified wall. There are famously 14 bookstores here, with one of them housed in a church, as well as a preserved castle, charming squares and a tangle of pretty streets lined with whitewashed houses. Don’t miss the local specialty here; Ginjinha de Óbidos (sour cherry brandy), traditionally served in a chocolate cup. Next, we spend some time in the picturesque town, fishing community and surfing mecca of Nazaré. Offering one of the best beaches in Portugal, be sure to take a leisurely stroll along the seafront here or head to one of the charming restaurants for some fresh local fish.

Our last stop of the day is Alcobaça to visit its spectacular monastery. Founded by King Alfonso I in the 12th century, this UNESCO-listed gem is a splendid example of Cisterian Gothic architecture, complete with a Monk’s Room, Dormitory, Chapter House, Refectory and more (please note that entrance to the cloisters is not included).

The city is also renowned for its many monuments that represent each chapter of Coimbra’s history as well as the Igreja de Santa Cruz, one of the country’s most significant churches due to its Gothic royal tombs, a 15th-century frieze depicting the Age of Discovery and a 4,000-pipe organ which only four people can play.

Day 8 – Porto

Porto is one of the highlights of our holiday, with its lovely waterfront, local delicacies, quirky street art and stunning Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site plaited with atmospheric alleyways, historical buildings and fado houses. We include entrance to one of Porto’s most distinguished buildings, the Palácio da Bolsa, built in the 19th century to provide a dignified setting for the city’s merchants and to impress international business visitors. One of the most notable features of the Stock Exchange Palace is its stunning interior, which features the famous Arab Room. This room, inspired by the Alhambra in Granada, is adorned with intricate Moorish Revival architecture and lavish decorations, making it a popular attraction for tourists and a venue for official receptions. Later on, we also head to a renowned Port cellar for a tasting of this fortified wine – a must-do while in this special Portuguese city!

We then continue with a guided tour of Guimarães, where the first king of Portugal, Alfonso Henrique, was born in 1110. As a previous European Capital of Culture and with a UNESCO-listed old quarter, there’s plenty to see amongst its warren of ancient lanes, or the café-lined plazas offer the perfect setting to enjoy a Portuguese coffee. Just one of the city’s highlights is the Ducal Palace, ordered to be built in the 1400s and once occupied by the first Dukes of Braganza.

Jewels of the Aegean

15 Days from £1,999 Jun, Sep & Oct

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind Greek island-hopping adventure – the best way to discover the enchanting jewels of the Aegean, where turquoise waters meet charming towns and quaint harbours filled with authentic tavernas. While we stay in two Dodecanese gems of pretty Rhodes and Leros, our scenic inter-island ferry takes in stunning views of beautiful islands scattered across the sparkling sea; Symi, Kos and Kalymnos. With a fantastic excursion programme and a specially-designed all-inclusive basis for our customers, everything is taken care of on this exclusive Greek escape, leaving you to simply relax, sightsee and unwind under the warming Mediterranean sun.

ITINERARY

Day 1

We fly to Rhodes and transfer to the Sun Beach Hotel, where we spend the next three nights.

Day 2 – Rhodes Town

We take a trip into pretty Rhodes Town, with a rich history that stretches back to 408BC and dominated by a sun-weathered, centuries-old castle. Our tour includes a stroll through the spectacular UNESCO-listed Old Town, where mosaics of different influences are on display within the double ring of ancient city walls, resulting in a tangle of storied lanes dotted with relics of the Classical, Ottoman and Italian eras. Along the way, we learn about tales of the island’s past such as the siege of Suleiman the Magnificent and the knights of Saint John, a religious and military order who once played a crucial role on Rhodes. We also spend some time at the vibrant bazaar and take a drive through the delightful Mandraki Harbour, surrounded by early 1900 buildings, a medieval tower and three famous windmills.

Day 3 – Optional excursion to Lindos*

Take a trip to the charming village of Lindos, one of the real treasures of the island and indeed Greece as a whole. Here, an ancient Acropolis dating back to the 6th century BC perches atop a picturesque hill, standing proudly over the Cycladic white-washed houses stacked like sugar cubes and the sparkling turquoise waters below. The village itself is a lovely place for a leisurely wander to discover local life, with cobbled streets dotted with little shops selling honey, olives and lace. Another pretty spot is St Paul’ Bay, which offers a unique vantage point to enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding harbours and coastline.

Please note: a visit to the acropolis itself is not included due to the lack of protective railbars and 303 slippery steps. You may choose to visit and pay the entrance fee under your own responsibility.

Day 4 – Travel to Leros

After checking out of our Rhodes hotel, we take a boat trip to stunning island of Leros. Along the way, we approach several of the Aegean’s jewels, including spectacular Symi, Kos, the birthplace of Hippocrates, and Kalymnos, known as the sponge driver’s island. After we disembark in Leros, we check into the Crithoni Paradise Hotel, where we stay for 6 nights.

Please note: the interisland ferries are not only for tourists but are working ships bringing much-needed supplies from Rhodes. Therefore, there is no time to disembark in Symi, Kos or Kalymnos.

Day 5 – Leros Island

A tour of the beautiful island of Leros Island awaits today, characterised by lush landscapes and protected harbours. We take in historical sites such as the Franco-Byzantine fort and imposing Castle of

Lindos

Leros

Lindos

the Virgin Mary on Mount Kasteli, plus the unique Leros War Museum, housed in a 1930s mountain tunnel built by the Italians as an ammunition depot. We also have time in the charming main port of Lakki, pay our respects at the Second World War British Cemetery and visit one of the most iconic symbols of the Dodecanese islands, the whitewashed Agios Isidoros chapel, built on a rock in the pretty cove of Gourna.

Day 6 – Day at leisure

Today we catch our return ferry, enjoying the breathtaking vistas before we disembark and check back into the Sun Beach Hotel.

Day 11 – Rural Villages

On this full-day trip we venture into the heart of the island to learn more about traditional Greek life, meandering through verdant forests and pretty mountains to three quaint villages and two striking places of natural beauty. Highlights include a 15th-century Byzantine chapel and the Folklore Museum of Apollonia, home to traditional local costumes, agricultural tools, household items, weapons, newspaper archives, pottery, embroidery and other symbols of local heritage. We also learn the secrets of Greek philosophy, become familiar with original Greek humour and have the opportunity to taste some authentic wine and delicious food.

Day 12 – Optional excursion to Symi*

After admiring Symi aboard our scenic ferry crossings, today is the perfect chance to retrace our steps and disembark on the stunning island! The harbour here is arguably the prettiest in the Aegean, where colourful villas and striking architecture meets crystal clear waters and forms the capital of the island, Yialos. As well as plenty of time here, the full-day trip also includes a visit to the 18th-century Monastery of Archangel Michael (the island’s patron saint and the Dodecanese guardian of sailors) in the pretty village of Panormitis.

Day 13 – Panoramic Rhodes

We embark on a panoramic tour of Rhodes, taking in picture-perfect scenery on the way to the ancient spa centre of Kalithea. It’s no surprise that this area is popular with location scouts, with the comedic Escape to Athena and Agatha Christie’s Triangle at Rhodes being partly filmed here. The island was also the setting for one of Hollywood’s greatest war films, The Guns of Navarone!

Treasures of Berlin

7 Days from £1,099

May, Jun, Jul & Sep

Of all our European tours, this is the shiniest. For the magpies among us, our Berlin city break is a veritable nest of glittering treasures. Famed for its opulent palaces that date back to the Kingdom of Prussia, we discover a gold mine of lavish Baroque and Rococo architecture, richly decorated Stucco interiors and exquisitely manicured parks. Signature sights include the stunning Sanssouci Palace and Cecilienhof, where the Potsdam Conference took place. There is plenty of time to soak up the vibrant culture of Germany’s fascinating capital city, which has experienced so much change in recent years.

ITINERARY

Day 1

We fly to Berlin and transfer to our hotel in the heart of the city.

Day 2 – Berlin guided city tour

We get to know the German capital of Berlin. It may be a rather big city but, luckily for us, all the best areas are lovely and compact. Once divided, now reunited, it really is full of contrasts with a variety of historical and modern attractions. We enjoy a guided city tour which covers some of the most important sights including the Brandenburg Gate, a former symbol of the divided city.

After our tour, the rest of the day is left free to discover more of Berlin at leisure and, in keeping with its ‘live and let live’ motto, it’s a wonderfully relaxed place to explore. Later, we enjoy dinner together back at the hotel.

Day 3 – Schönhausen Palace & River Cruise Schönhausen Palace provided the backdrop for many important political and historical moments. Originally a manor house was built on the site in the 1660s before King Friedrich II gifted it to his wife, who used it as a summer residence and adored the opulent rooms, Stucco ceilings and colourful floral carpets, which we admire during our visit. Later, Wilhelm Pieck used the residence as his official seat during his time as president of the German Democratic Republic after the partition of Germany. The presidential garden is a reminder of this time. Later, we enjoy a river cruise through the centre of the city, taking in a selection of iconic sights from a new perspective. Cameras at the ready for the fascinating cityscape, including the silhouette of the stunning domed Berlin Cathedral on Museum Island, as we meander along the River Spree.

Day 4 – Berlin Cathedral & Charlottenburg Palace

After spotting the famous cathedral from our river cruise, we get up close with a fascinating visit here.

The majestic Italian Renaissance-style structure is flanked by four Baroque towers and envelopes equally lavish interiors, from a marble and onyx altar to elaborate mosaics. It served as the court church for the Hohenzollern dynasty, the monarchy of Prussia and later the German Emperors.

Our next stop is Charlottenburg Palace. Built at the end of the 17th century, it is one of Berlin’s key reminders of the splendour of the Hohenzollern clan, who ruled until 1918. Packed with treasures from the grand Rococo ballroom and collections of precious porcelain to the silver vault; glittering with the remaining pieces of the Prussian crown jewels, there is so much to discover in this former royal residence. The leafy palace park is also well worth a wander after we see the first-ever bathroom in a Baroque palace!

Day 5 – Sanssouci Palace & Potsdam

We visit Sanssouci Palace for an audio-guided tour. Sans soucI, which means ‘without a care’, was the much-loved summer retreat of the Prussian King; Friedrich the Great. The Rococo palace sits pretty above the vineyard-festooned terraces, and inside the intimate suites still boast their original decorations. Outside, the sprawling grounds are as impressive as ever, with the Chinese House and Orangery proving to be the most relaxing of hideaways. The king’s grave is on the highest terrace on the hill, buried next to his beloved greyhounds.

Afterwards, we head to Potsdam where we enjoy a guided city tour. Our knowledgeable guide will lead us through the charming streets of this historic city. Potsdam is steeped in history and offers a unique blend of architectural styles that reflect its past as a residence of Prussian kings and the German Kaiser until 1918. Key attractions include the magnificent Sanssouci Park, the grand Neues Palais and the Dutch Quarter with its charming red-brick buildings.

Holiday Resort

8 Days from £999 Apr

Boasting lovely weather all year round, wonderful food and a stunning coastline, Cyprus is a fantastic destination for a relaxing getaway. Escape to the sunshine and choose to do as much or as little as you like at the handpicked Paphos Gardens Holiday Resort, just 300 metres from a sandy beach and the warm waters of the Mediterranean. Featuring well-appointed bedrooms with balconies, three swimming pools, a tennis court and a spa with a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, there is plenty on offer, as well as excursions to see the best of the island!

INCLUDED EXCURSIONS

Paphos

We enjoy a guided city tour of spectacular Paphos, once the capital of Cyprus and a worshipping spot for Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love. The city is now like an open museum, with history and stunning relics of the past dotted throughout the protected UNESCO town. Highlights include the remarkable Tombs of the Kings, a fascinating collection of burial chambers which date back to 323-31BC, the harbourside Paphos Castle and the Agia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa with its intricate mosaic floors.

Ayios Neophytos Monastery, Cat Sanctuary & Tala Village

A delightful time awaits at the peaceful Ayios Neophytos Monastery, nestled in the sun-soaked Cypriot countryside. Hundreds of years ago, Saint Neophytos transformed what was a natural cave into a spiritual retreat and carved a quaint chapel in 1159. It is still standing proud today, and you can find out more about its history in the museum, where treasures include ancient manuscripts, garments, jewellery, pottery and more. Sweet little cats have lived around the monastery for years but they now have a lovely home at our next destination, the nearby Tala Monastery Cat Park, a lovely sanctuary which cares for approximately 950 cats!

We round off our trip with time in Tala Village, surrounded by rolling vineyards and citrus, olive and almond trees. Home to a Byzantine church, Tala is also the ancestral village of the world-famous singer, Cat Stevens.

Polis, Latchi & Baths of Aphrodite

(15 & 22 day holidays only)

The quaint villages of Polis and Latchi have retained all of their Cypriot charm. You can expect a laidback atmosphere, tavernas selling fresh fish and local delicacies plus a picturesque harbour in Latchi.

Our next stop is the mythical Baths of Aphrodite, believed to bring serenity and peace to all who visit. This is where the Greek goddess once bathed, according to local legend, and the exact spot where Adonis fell in love with her at first sight. The famous spot looks like a scene from a storybook; with water flowing down the moss-covered rock to create a peaceful pool beneath an old fig tree.

Kourion & Limassol

(15 & 22 day holidays only)

We travel back in time on our excursion to mythical Kourion, an ancient Greek city destroyed by an earthquake in 365AD and now an intriguing archaeological site. You can expect crumbling pillars and the remains of a mighty Greco-Roman theatre perched atop the hillside, set against the stunning backdrop of the azure-blue waters. Just imagine what has come before us here!

Our next stop is the picturesque city of Limassol, one of the most popular spots on the island which beautifully blends the historic and modern worlds. Alongside contemporary areas lie charming, cobbled streets lined with tempting cafes, restaurants and boutiques – perfect for some souvenir shopping!

INCLUDED EXCURSIONS

Rhodes Town

We take a trip into pretty Rhodes Town, with a rich history that stretches back to 408BC and dominated by a sun-weathered, centuries-old castle. Our tour includes a stroll through the spectacular UNESCO-listed Old Town, where a mosaic of different influences are on display within the double ring of ancient city walls, resulting in a tangle of storied lanes dotted with relics of the Classical, Ottoman and Italian eras. Along the way, we learn about tales of the island’s past such as the siege of Suleiman the Magnificent and the knights of Saint John, a religious and military order who once played a crucial role on Rhodes. We also spend some time at the vibrant bazaar and take a drive through the pretty Mandraki Harbour, surrounded by early 1900 buildings, a medieval tower and three famous windmills.

Filerimos & Kamiros

The western coast of the island beckons on this excursion, starting with charming Filerimos, home to a pride of stunning peacocks and a peaceful monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary. This significant archaeological site was built by the Knights of Saint John, laid upon the ruins of the historic Acropolis of Ialyssos and the Temple of Athena. There is the option to walk along a scenic path, flanked by the Italian Stations of the Cross, which leads us to the top of Filerimos Mountain and the giant Cross awaiting there, standing proudly over the Aegean.

We continue to the crumbling city of Kamiros, founded in the 10th century BC but only unearthed in 1914 by Italian archaeologists, and beautifully set against the sparkling sea. There are three different remarkable sections to explore, the market square, residential area with dwellings and bathing complexes plus the acropolis at the highest point of the city, providing a fascinating insight into how the ancient Greeks once lived! Afterwards, we head to the nearby beach for lunch (not included) and a chance to relax on the sunbeds or take a dip in the clear waters.

We discover hidden gems along our route such as Cinnamon Island where the ancient tradition of cinnamon cultivation takes place and the breathtaking Kothduwa Temple.

fortress. A UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Bay of Galle; the fortress was first built by the Portuguese in 1588 before changing to Dutch hands in the 17th century.

ITINERARY

Day 1 - Ferry to Calais, France & overnight hotel stay Ferry to Calais and onwards to our hotel, where we stay overnight.

Day 2 - Arrival & embarkation in Lyon, France

We continue our journey south, arriving in Lyon, where we board A-ROSA STELLA. Dating back 2,000 years, Lyon is one of France’s oldest cities. Situated where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet, this impressive city takes us on a journey through time. Its Old Town – now a UNESCO World Heritage Site – offers a maze of narrow streets, vaulted passageways and historic buildings. Another highlight is the Notre Dame de Fourvière, a late 19th-century basilica built in shimmering white stone, one of just 200 impressive sites and illuminated after dark. Lyon is also reputed as the gourmet capital of France! We set sail in the evening, enjoying a panoramic cruise through this old town.

Day 3 – Pont-en-Royans

We arrive in Tournon-Sur-Rhône, a charming town that sits on the right bank of the river Rhône. Steeped in history, there are many notable sights, including Passerelle Marc-Seguin, the oldest suspension bridge in France. We enjoy an excursion to Pont-en-Royans, the picturesque village brimming with natural beauty. Colourful medieval houses seemingly hang off the cliff’s edge and below, the scenic riverside offers a spot to sit and relax surrounded by lush greenery.

Day 4 – Avignon & Pont du Gard

Previously voted as the European City of Culture in 2000, Avignon is one of the most popular ports of call on A-ROSA’s Rhône cruises. This striking, historic city was once the seat of the Catholic Popes in the Middle Ages – be sure to visit the unique Palais des Papes in Avignon’s ancient quarter, one of the largest medieval Gothic buildings in Europe. There are also beautifully preserved ramparts, old alleyways, mansion-lined streets, lively squares and the famous Pont d’Avignon to explore. We then enjoy a trip to Pont du Gard, a Roman aqueduct bridge, displaying an impressive three tiers of arches,

and built in the first century AD. A UNESCO World Heritage site, this bridge draws in many visitors, due to its remarkable preservation and architectural ingenuity.

Day 5 - Arles

Our cruise continues to the Provençal city of Arles, with its sun-drenched terracotta-tiled rooftops, which occupies a broad bend in the River Rhône. Known as the city of art and history, Arles is famous for its ancient and Romanesque remains, including the exceptional Roman amphitheatre, with many monuments classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Arles is the gateway to the Camargue, Europe’s largest river delta, a hauntingly beautiful landscape, home to more than 400 species of birds and the wild, white Camargue horses. Today we enjoy some free time to explore or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll.

Day 6 – The Camargue

This afternoon we take a scenic drive of the Camargue, a regional park and nature reserve located south of Arles. This vast area is home to more than 400 bird species and is a classified Important Bird Area, while cattle and horses roam the marshlands. Flora and fauna are abundant in this region, as the saline conditions allow sea lavender, tamarisks and glasswort to flourish. We return to the ship later, for our evening meal.

Day 7 - Viviers

Today we spend time in Viviers, a historic town surrounded by mountains and home to a rich heritage of monuments highlights include Saint-Vincent Cathedral, a spectacular structure dating back to the 5th century. Wander among the faded pastel-coloured buildings, the grand 18th-century houses and the ornamental stone carvings.

This is an enchanting tour of sleepy villages and charming towns, with sumptuous dining experiences and a few culinary and cultural evenings of entertainment thrown in for good measure!

Day 2 – Régua & Pinhão

We depart the city after breakfast and sail to Régua; the largest town on the banks of the Douro in this wine-growing valley. Being such a beautiful place it’s no wonder the Alto Douro region has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001. The town played a fundamental role in the production and marketing of port wine, which was transported away by sailing boat from as early as the 18th century. Take the opportunity to join an excursion to Lamego available from Régua and spend the day visiting one of Portugal’s most famous pilgrimage sites. Our next stop is the peaceful town of Pinhão. Located in the famous port wine region, in an area where the Douro and its surrounding landscape are at their most picturesque, the town is encircled by enchanting vineyards and the quintas that produce the wine.

This tranquil town is shadowed by mountains and bordered by terraced vineyards and attractive olive and almond groves.

Day 4 – Vega de Terron

This morning, we enjoy an included port tasting at Quinta da Roeda, famed for its unusual ‘pink port’. We continue to the Spanish port town of Vega de Terron, which lies on the Portuguese border, surrounded by lush landscapes.

The beautiful Chafariz dos Pretos fountain, set in the market square, is the ideal place to relax with a glass of port.

Porto

PORTUGAL

The town also serves as a gateway for excursions to the ancient city of Salamanca, home to one of the oldest universities in Europe, dating back to the 13th century.

Day 5 – Pinhão

There is the option to join a wonderful excursion to Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo; surrounded by almond trees, whose blossom brightens the landscapes, this village is known as the ‘white city’.

Day

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to pay a single supplement?

We sympathise with the frustration single supplements can cause and we acknowledge that it may be a barrier to booking for many. Unfortunately, many of our hotels charge by room, not by occupancy. However, we continuously work with our suppliers to keep our single supplements as low as possible.

Why do I have to pay a pickup point supplement?

We have listened to feedback from our customers who are looking for greater choice and opportunity to travel, with a much-reduced risk of their booking being subject to a pickup change closer to departure. For all 2024 departures after 1st April, you can now choose the pickup point closest to you and pay a supplement (if one is applicable) or you can travel under your own steam to a pickup point that does not have a supplement. This means that we can continue to offer a wide choice of departure points that Just Go Holidays, National Holidays and Omega Breaks are renowned for. Pickups in BOLD have no supplement, those with a small + have a £15 per person supplement and those with a small triangle have a £30 per person supplement.

Will my pickup point change?

Pickup points are subject to change. Although we endeavour to pick up customers at the pickup point selected, it can sometimes be necessary to cancel some pickup points for operational reasons. When this happens if the pickup point is less than 10 miles from the chosen one, we will not offer any monetary compensation. If the pickup point is over 10 miles from the original one, we will offer a monetary contribution towards any additional transport you may need to arrange. Please be aware that the amount offered might not be equal to the full amount for the chosen way of transport to the new pickup location. Please see our full Terms and Conditions for more information.

What time will my pickup be?

On our European holidays, pickups will be early morning or on occasion late the previous night. Your exact pickup time will be advised two weeks before you travel. Return times will be late evening.

Who is responsible for my luggage during my journey?

As with all personal items, it is your responsibility to ensure your suitcase is on board the coach. Please make sure you see the driver place your luggage into the coach and on the way home carefully check you collect the correct luggage from the driver at your drop-off point. We cannot accept responsibility for misplaced or damaged luggage and, whilst we will assist you with the recovery of any lost suitcase, this will be upon receipt of the courier costs.

How much luggage can I take with me?

For holidays by coach, your luggage must be restricted to one medium-sized suitcase weighing no more than 18 kilograms (40 pounds); we cannot carry any additional luggage items. Also, we cannot accept responsibility at any time for your personal hand luggage. For tours involving a flight, the amount of luggage will be driven by the airline and we will notify you of the maximum weight limit in your final paperwork.

I have mobility issues – can I bring a walking aid?

You must advise us if anyone in your party has mobility concerns – the minimum requirements are that you are able to climb the steps onto a coach unaided. Please read the tour itinerary carefully to make sure it is appropriate for your mobility level. Due to weight and space limitations we can only accommodate a maximum of two walking aids on to each coach, either collapsible wheelchairs or collapsible walking frames or one of each; the maximum weight of any aid must not exceed 15kg.Therefore you must pre-book a space when you book your holiday and confirmation of this will be on our correspondence to you.

Due to weight and space restrictions we can only accommodate one mobility scooter on a coach. If you wish to bring a mobility scooter you must reserve a space at the time of booking, and this will be available on a first come first served basis. Once the space is taken we will be unable to accommodate any additional mobility scooters. When you book we will ask for the scooter’s dimensions and confirm in writing whether it can be carried. Acceptance is not guaranteed as this may depend on the size and weight of the scooter and the coach. If you do not receive confirmation that a mobility scooter space has been reserved you will not be able to bring one and if you try to do so we will not allow you

to travel. In such circumstances your holiday will be deemed as cancelled by you and full cancellation charges will apply. We regret we cannot carry any motorised wheelchairs.

Please also be aware that some of our hotels may charge you for charging your scooter battery; some hotels may not be able to accommodate mobility scooters due to their structural design, so while we may have room on the coach, if the hotel cannot support it, then we may have to decline your request to bring it along.

Can my special diet be accommodated?

Passengers are requested to inform us of any food allergies/ requests at the time of booking and we will attempt to accommodate them, however, special arrangements cannot be guaranteed. Passengers who are coeliac or follow a gluten-free diet are advised to contact the hotel before arrival to check if the diet is catered for. Some customers take their own bread for breakfast. Customers with severe food allergies or dietary requirements are advised to make appropriate arrangements with the hotel before commencing their tour and speak to the hotel staff on arrival.

What type of food can I expect in Europe?

On our European holidays meals are included as indicated on each tour page. These may be waiter service or buffet style and will be a set choice group menu often consisting of local traditional dishes. Don’t expect lots of vegetables in Spain or lots of potatoes in Italy. Do expect pasta most days in Italy and pork in Austria. In brief, we offer you the opportunity to embrace local food traditions served the local way and not necessarily the British way. Breakfast will be continental with occasional hot options added in certain hotels.

Why do I need insurance?

At Just Go! Holidays we are committed to ensuring you are taken care of every step of the way, from the day you book, through to the last day of your holiday. Occasionally passengers fall ill before they travel or have an accident whilst on holiday preventing them from travelling home with the coach or on the return flight or requiring medical care when abroad. This may impact you financially; it is a company policy that all our customers hold some form of travel insurance when purchasing one of our EU tours.

When do I need to pay the balance of my holiday?

The balance due dates (the period before the departure date on which your full balance normally becomes due) are: 8 weeks before departure for all UK mainland holidays, Events and Themed breaks by coach or 10 weeks before departure for all European, Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands holidays by coach. For UK, Europe, Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands holidays by air, the balance is due with us no later than 10 weeks before travel. For bookings made after the balance due date; full payment is due at the time of booking. You can also make interim payments anytime between paying the deposit and the balance due date.

Railway excursions

Please note that journeys on certain railways may not always be steam hauled, even when pictured in this brochure as being so. Diesel locomotive trains are sometimes in use on certain journeys over which, regrettably, we have no control.

What do I do if I have a special request?

All special needs and requests must be advised to us at the time of booking. These cannot be guaranteed but will be noted on your holiday confirmation document. If you need assistance, or may not fully be able to enjoy all aspects of your holiday you must tell us in advance so that we can maximise your enjoyment of the holiday. Before booking your holiday, you should be sure that you and your party are physically and mentally capable of completing the itinerary. We will not always be able to tell you before you leave if we cannot meet your special requests and we cannot accept your booking on the proviso that the request is honoured. If you will require a special diet please tell us at the time of booking, or as soon as you are medically advised, together with a copy of the diet.

Will there be a toilet on the coach?

All coaches that we contract have a toilet. Please note that due to their tank capacity we would suggest they are used sparingly. We also ensure there are adequate comfort stops scheduled within our journeys.

Will it always be the tour coach that collects me from my chosen pickup point?

Not always, sometimes we utilise smaller feeder vehicles to operate some pickups; these vehicles will transfer you to join the main tour coach. We do this to offer a wide range of pickup points and to keep the overall journey times for the tour coach to a minimum. Please note if you have booked front seats or any other guaranteed seats through our seat reservation service, these only apply once you join the main tour coach.

Are the excursions guaranteed to run on the day specified in this brochure?

Our brochures and itineraries are put together sometimes over a year in advance therefore, unfortunately, things may change before the tour takes place and some excursions may be swapped from one day to another.

Will there be tea/coffee makers in the hotel room?

This facility is unfortunately very rarely available in European hotels.

Do I need a passport?

All our Europe, Ireland and Channel Islands holidays are sold on the basis that you are a British Passport holder. It is your responsibility to ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of the tour return. You need to advise us if you are not travelling on a British passport for port security checks. In addition, any visa requirements are your responsibility.

What do I do if I’m not completely happy?

It is imperative that if you are unhappy about any aspect of your holiday, you raise the matter IMMEDIATELY with the coach driver, tour manager or accommodation provider. If you do not tell us at the earliest opportunity about a problem giving rise to your complaint, we cannot take steps to investigate and rectify it at the time. If the matter cannot be resolved immediately, you must write to/email the Customer Contact Department via the on-line form on our website, quoting your booking reference and the details of your complaint so that we may commence an investigation.

What is a JG Explorer Coach?

This is a brand-new deluxe coach, thoughtfully designed to provide an enhanced coach journey experience. We will always use our every endeavour to ensure a ‘JG Explorer’ coach operates a tour it is scheduled for. However, as with all things mechanical breakdowns can occur. Our fleet of ‘JG Explorer’ coaches are totally unique built especially to our specification, so it won’t be possible to find a replacement coach to the same specification. Therefore, in the event a ‘JG Explorer’ coach is not able to operate the tour we will supply our usual executive coach and make a refund of the premium paid and this shall be the full and total extent of our liability. On some holidays to Europe, Ireland and in the UK we may operate a coach interchange system. In these cases, you will join your ‘JG Explorer’ coach at the interchange. Our onboard entertainment system delivers entertainment, quizzes and games etc via Wi-Fi to your own device. Therefore, please bring your own smart phone or tablet to access this service. Each seat on the coach has access to a USB port for charging.

Entry & Exit system for visiting the EU (EES) All non-EU nationals travelling to a European country will be subject to checks at the border.

The EES system replaces passport stamping and automates border control procedures collecting and recording the data in your passport, your date and place of entry and exit from a European country and also your facial image and fingerprints.

In most cases these checks will be carried out upon arrival in the EU when arriving by air, however, due to the dual French and UK border arrangements in Dover, these checks will take place in Dover for coach passengers, prior to boarding the ship for the cross-channel sailing. All travellers will be required to disembark the coach and pass through the automated EES kiosks for the checks to take place, once complete the coach will have a seal attached to the door and proceed to the port and check-in for the ferry. Customers will no longer therefore be able to join the coach at the port of Dover and the last joining point will now become Stop 24 services on the M20.

Authorisation System (ETIAS)

During the first half of 2025 the rules of travel to Europe will change and there will be an entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals. Travellers will be required to make an online application for and obtain an ETIAS travel authorisation to enter most EU countries, a fee of €7 will be charged. Once confirmed this is linked to your passport and will be valid for 3 years or until your passport expires if that is sooner. If you get a new passport, you will need a new ETIAS travel authorisation. You must carry the email confirming your successful ETIAS submission and unique ETIAS application number along with your passport when travelling as both documents will be checked at the border. ETIAS is not required for Crown Dependencies – Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, or the common travel areas of Northern and Southern Ireland.

Further details can be found at travel-europe.europa.eu and we will update this page as exact dates and further details are released.

Visa requirements:

You will need an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation) for Sri Lanka. To help make this process as smooth as possible, we have partnered up with The Travel Visa Company who are a leading provider of travel visa services in the UK, with over 25 years of experience in helping travellers navigate the complexities of international travel. They offer a comprehensive range of visa services for destinations globally and will be including the new ETIAS process for UK travellers when it goes live in 2025.

You can call them on 01270 904901 or contact them via their website https://thetravelvisacompany.co.uk/justgoholidays/. They will be able to tell how much they will charge and how quickly they can obtain it for you.

Alternatively, you can find out more information about visa requirements directly on the Sri Lankan government website https://www.immigration.gov.lk/

Travel forms: Online embarkation form: An online embarkation form is available online https://eservices.immigration.gov.lk/emb/ eEmbarkation, which will replace the paper embarkation card. Foreign nationals can complete the online form three days prior to arrival in Sri Lanka. The service is free of charge.

Please read the tour itinerary carefully to make sure it is appropriate for your mobility level.

Further details are shown in this brochure and are also available online at justgoholidays.com/accessibility. If you have any queries on hotel facilities in relation to mobility, please contact us immediately for detailed information.

Please note: some of our tours, hotels or excursions may require some level of walking and/or mobility. As a general guideline, we recommend that you are comfortable to stroll for 20-30 minutes at a time. Concert, theatre and sporting venues typically have tiered seating with a number of steps to reach your seat. Lifts may be available to some levels and there may be a dedicated accessible area, although this isn’t guaranteed. Please be aware that some clients may find tours visiting older properties challenging due to the nature of the building. On our river cruises, there is no lift between decks on any of the ships, stairways are usually steep and at ports of call there will be some walking into town and city centres.If you are uncertain or would like more details, please call our friendly reservations team for more information on the specific tour you are interested in.

Please note: tour itineraries will be subject to local and government guidelines valid at the time of travel.

ECLIPSE 2026Iceland’s

 Dinner in the Holyrood Restaurant  A hosted cocktail party PORTS OF CALL: DUNDEE, RUNAVIK, FAROE ISLANDS, REYKJAVIK, GRUNDARFJORDUR, SEYDISFJORDUR & SHETLAND ISLES

During a total solar eclipse, the Moon entirely covers the Sun, revealing the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, in a breathtaking display. The sky darkens and stars and planets become visible, creating an almost otherworldly atmosphere. Join us on a thrilling adventure to witness a total solar eclipse from our cruise ship, Ambition, in the most spectacular of settings. With its dramatic scenery and diverse natural attractions, Iceland is a paradise for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike. Beyond the eclipse, Iceland’s rugged, windswept beauty provides an astonishing backdrop for the event. From spectacular glaciers, geysers, volcanoes, waterfalls, and coastal scenery, there is so much to see as we weave our way through the Faroe Islands and make our way to the Eclipse viewing point off the coast of Greenland. From here we continue to Reykjavik, Seydisfjordur and Lerwick in our search for the Aurora Borealis.
