As well as plenty of returning favourites to destinations across the Continent there are also some new holidays to choose from including Sorrento & the Amalfi Coast and Little Trains of Austria, which combines scenic railway journeys with Alpine charm. We work hard to offer new holiday experiences and this year is no different. You could enjoy wine tasting in Spain’s La Rioja region, sample live music in an authentic Viennese Heuriger, soak up the Scandinavian summertime or simply take a stroll through a historic Italian piazza. I am also extremely proud to let you know that Just Go! Holidays has been awarded Silver at the British Travel Awards 2023 for Best Company for UK Coach / Touring Holidays.

Hotel

Ratings Explained

So often hotels receive different ratings from different authorities. To avoid any surprises and give you added peace of mind, we have created JG hotel ratings based upon our knowledge of hotels and customer feedback so you know what to expect and are sure you're choosing the right hotel for you.

JG2 Hotels with a JG2 rating are a mixture of larger hotels and privately owned properties. Décor and furnishings may be simple but are clean and well maintained. All bedrooms have en-suite facilities, TV and may have tea/coffee-making facilities. Food may be buffet style in some of the larger hotels. Services may be limited but efficient.

JG2+ JG2+ rated hotels offer a slightly higher standard of hospitality, often with good home cooking plus enhanced décor, facilities and services, which is recognised and welcomed by our customers. Food may be buffet style in some of the larger hotels. They may also enjoy an enviable location and/or higher levels of satisfaction on online hotel rating sites and our own customer feedback surveys.

JG3 Hotels with a JG3 rating tend to be a more formal style of hotel, often part of a hotel chain, or are very-welcoming family-owned properties. Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.

JG3+ JG3+ hotels typically enjoy higher levels of satisfaction on both online hotel rating sites and our own customer satisfaction surveys and may enjoy superior locations close to resort attractions or surrounded by spectacular scenery.

JG4 Accommodation in our JG4 category is of an even higher standard, typically offering a wide range of facilities and services. Bedrooms are designed to make your stay the most comfortable possible and the staff provide a service that reflects the detail and quality. You can also expect higher standards of food and beverages.

Accessibility If you or your travelling companions have any mobility concerns, please inform us at the time of booking. It is a minimum requirement 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. We also hold accessibility information for each hotel featured on our holidays, and are able to advise if lifts and/or ground floor rooms are available. Please refer to page 67 for more information about travelling with us or go online at justgoholidays.com/accessibility. If you have any queries on hotel facilities in relation to mobility, please contact us immediately for detailed information.

Convenient Coach Travel With a nationwide network of local pickup locations, our coach tours are the easiest way to start that holiday feeling early. Simply board your coach, sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery as our experienced drivers take care of the driving for you. We also offer a seat reservation service so you have the chance to choose your ideal place on the coach at the point of booking. Please see below for information regarding seat reservation charges.

Seat Reservation Service* Prefer to choose your seat in advance?

This service gives you the chance to reserve your preferred seat on the coach when making your booking. Call to find out more about our seat reservation service. *Seat reservations are not valid on feeder vehicles (these are used for selected pickups to transfer passengers to the main tour coach to keep overall journey times to a minimum). 6

Whether you want to travel just a little bit further afield or simply can’t wait to get checked in, choose to skip the scenic route and dive straight to the action with our by air tours, flying from a selection of UK airports. All our flight tours include return flights and airport transfers at your destination included within the price of your holiday.

Meet at hotel On selected river cruise holidays, travel in your own time with our meet at hotel option, which allows you to arrive at our overnight hotel in Kent on your own schedule, ready to join our coach transfer to your ship the next day.

New for 2024 Introducing JG Explorer Coaches We are pleased to introduce JG Explorer – a brand-new deluxe coach, thoughtfully designed to provide an elevated coach experience and ensure your journey is special and memorable.

Journey in comfort Exclusive to the JG Travel Group, the design of these coaches has been meticulously thought through with your comfort in mind – with only 44 specially upholstered seats, meaning more room on board. There’s improved legroom and a footrest, making certain that wherever you sit, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy your journey. We know it’s the small things that make a big difference in terms of ease and added convenience, so our JG Explorer coaches feature a floor-level, rear-mounted toilet, accessible to all customers.

The Beautiful Black Forest 9 Days from £799

Triberg

May, Jun & 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 (£15pp) Today on our optional excursion, we travel to Titisee, one of the largest lakes in the region. 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

Baden-Baden 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. Next, we travel to Freudenstadt on the famous Black Forest High Road also known as the B500. One of the most spectacular forest roads in the world and is featured in many advertisements and films. The town of Freudenstadt is a popular destination of rest and relaxation. Some famous names are associated with this ‘climatic health resort’ such as the American writer Mark Twain.

Later, we travel to our second stop of the day, the pretty town of Gengenbach. Wander along the river or through the old town, which boasts romantic half-timbered houses, and charming winding streets. Day 8 – Heidelberg We head to the beautiful town of Heidelberg. Built on the banks of the River Neckar, the city is surrounded by lush green hills and boasts a castle and Baroque-style Old Town full of grand and beautifully-preserved buildings.

Treasures of Berlin 7 Days from £1,089

Jul

Our Berlin city break is a veritable nest of glittering treasures. Famed for its opulent palaces that date back to the Kingdom of Prussia, signature sights include the stunning Sanssouci Palace and Cecilienhof, where the Potsdam Conference took place.

ITINERARY Day 1 We fly to Berlin and transfer to our hotel in the heart of the city. Day 2 – Berlin This morning we get to know 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, today 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 & Cecilienhof 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.

y Return flights to Berlin y Airport taxes & luggage allowance (one piece of checked-in hold luggage per person) y Airport transfers in Germany y 6 nights at the 4-star Park Inn Alexanderplatz, Berlin with breakfast plus 2 dinners y Excursions to Schönhausen Palace, Berlin Cathedral, Charlottenburg Palace, Sanssouci Palace, Cecilienhof, Schloss Britz & Botanic Garden y Audio-guided tour of Sanssouci Palace y Guided city tour of Berlin y Scenic river cruise of Berlin y Escorted by a tour manager in Germany

YOUR HOTELS Park Inn Alexanderplatz, Berlin JG4 Being Berlin’s tallest hotel, the Park Inn is striking and modern. Situated directly in Alexanderplatz Square, it’s centrally located to see the city’s top sights. The stylish bedrooms have en-suite marble bathrooms with power showers and heated floors. Hotel facilities include multiple restaurants, a bar and free Wi-Fi, plus the wellness centre offers a sauna and gym. There is also a lovely top-floor terrace, which offers fabulous views of central Berlin. Hotel accessibility information Please visit justgoholidays.com/accessibility or call our friendly reservations team for further details. Single supplement £220

Afterwards, we head to Cecilienhof, an English-style mock Tudor curiosity, which seems in stark contrast to the luxurious palaces we have visited so far. Though humble from the outside, this was actually the location where world history was made when the Allied powers met here after the Second World War to discuss the occupation of Germany. Originally built in 1913 by Kaiser Wilhelm II, it was the last palace constructed by the Hohenzollern clan before it went on to serve as the location for the Potsdam Conference, attended by Josef Stalin, Harry Truman and Winston Churchill in 1945. Day 6 – At leisure Today, we take the chance to spend some more time at leisure. Our base, in the heart of Berlin, allows us plenty of opportunity to explore this magnificent city and the treasures it beholds. Immerse yourself in Germany’s vibrant culture and history and explore its fascinating architecture or sit back in one of the many traditional eateries and watch the world go by. Day 7 We check out of our hotel and transfer to Berlin airport for our return flight home.

With its pretty streets and crooked houses dating back to the Golden Age, Amsterdam has a huge amount of history under its belt. The Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum shine a light on Amsterdam’s cultural side, while a poignant visit to Anne Frank Huis tells the personal tale of a life lost to the Holocaust.

Starting from its medieval heart where cobbled lanes bustle with treat-filled cafes, the riverside fortress that looks as though it’s been plucked from the pages of a fairy tale, and a truly remarkable cathedral, there are plenty of historical highlights to discover. Antwerp is also particularly enjoyable for foodies, thanks to the many tasty Belgian specialties on offer there – including waffles, chocolates and frites.

Apr

We discover the romance and beauty of the Rhine and the Moselle, with a cruise on its charming waters and discoveries on its scenic land, famous for its wines and sunny climate. With its picturesque villages and landscapes, as if from an ancient German fairytale, the Moselle offers a spectacular scenic experience aboard the fantastic A-ROSA SILVA. We also marvel at the mighty castles, the half-timbered wine-growing towns, as well as the churches, monasteries and secular buildings from all eras which line their banks.

ITINERARY Day 1 – Overnight stay Make your own way to our hotel in Ashford, Kent, where we stay overnight on a bed and breakfast basis. Day 2 – Ferry to Calais & embarkation in Cologne, Germany Ferry to Calais and onwards to Cologne, where we board the A-ROSA SILVA for the start of our seven-night cruise. Considered one of the most scenic spots in the world and a major trading centre since the Roman times, this impressive city merges old and new, with ancient walls and medieval churches nestled next to modern quarters, a vast selection of fascinating museums and the jewel of the city, its famous cathedral. We enjoy a welcome dinner on board this evening. Day 3 – Treis-Karden We arrive at Treis-Karden in the morning. These twin towns are on the banks of the Moselle River, about 30 km west of Koblenz and there is much to discover here, including Eltz Castle, founded around 1000 AD and still occupied by one of the three branches of the Eltz family. Don’t miss the treasure vault, showcasing medieval weaponry, impressive pieces of golden artwork and jewellery. A treat for those who enjoy beautiful architecture, Treis-Karden is laden with half-timbered houses from the past century as well as magnificent churches from St. John the Baptist Catholic Parish Church, built in 1824 by Johann Claudius von Lassaulx, to St. Castor’s Church. Known as the ‘Moselle Cathedral,’ with its gleaming white tower and rich interior furnishings. This building draws upon Roman, Gothic and Baroque influences and is the most important sacral structure between Koblenz and Trier. Day 4 – Bernkastel- Kues, Moselle Experience the unforgettable atmosphere of a picturesque Old Town, brimming with history and culture, as our Rhine cruise carries us along the enchanting Moselle. This area is famous for its award-winning wine, so why not indulge in a glass in one of the cosy, rustic wine taverns or during an optional tour of the steep vineyard slopes? We enjoy a walking tour of Bernkastel-Kues today, followed by a speciality dinner on board in the evening.

Day 5 – Mehring, Moselle Our next port of call, Mehring lies in the beautiful Moselle Valley, a region characterised by typical vineyards. The city boasts many churches, castles and palaces, plus a wealth of historic monuments – with UNESCO World Heritage status. Enjoy your time in the city, explore the Moselle Valley and learn about the history of the Rhineland-Palatinate. Day 6 – Zell The 2,000-year-old wine town of Zell is known for viticulture and particularly the Zeller Schwarze Katz Riesling wines, that depict a cat leaping upon a barrel, to dissuade a merchant from buying the wine from the winemaker. Crisp and fruity, with hints of citrus, green apple and melon, this wine is delicious, and you can try it for yourself on a themed trail, through various vineyards. There’s also the opportunity for a relaxing stroll along old vineyard walls to the Collis Tower, which looms over the town. Enjoy breathtaking views over the valley and the wine-growing landscape which then leads to impressive buildings, winding alleys, and a picturesque town centre. Day 7 – Cochem, Moselle Departing Zell at breakfast, we sail through magnificent scenery to Cochem. Germany’s secondsmallest district administrative centre, Cochem boasts a long history, witnessed by its majestic Imperial Castle and revealed in the ruins of the Winneburg, as both overlook the town. Cochem is also home to the Pestkapelle (Plague Chapel) and the Kapelle zu den drei Kreuzen (Chapel of the Three Crosses). Despite the small size of these two places of worship, their understated elegance and beautiful location make them well worth a visit. Day 8 – Koblenz, Rhine We sail on the Moselle arriving in Koblenz at lunchtime. With a history dating back over 2,000 years, Koblenz is one of Germany’s oldest cities – and one of its most picturesque, home to a wealth of sights and cultural attractions.

Known as ‘The Gothic City’, Rouen boasts some of the finest medieval architecture in the world including the jewel in the crown – the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen. First constructed in the 13th century, this gothic masterpiece was the muse of impressionist pioneer Claude Monet. It is said he was so inspired by its facade that it took him two years to even enter the cathedral for the first time. Why not explore the city today on an optional guided walk? With another day in France’s historic city of Rouen, there is ample opportunity to delve deeper into its storied past. Discover the legend of Joan of Arc, whose ashes were scattered in the Seine after she was burned at the stake. Visit the botanical gardens, or one of the many museums the city has to offer, including the Musée des Beaux-arts home to 17th-century masterpieces by Caravaggio and van Dyck and 19th-century works from Renoir, Pissarro and Monet. You can also opt for a fascinating excursion to the port city of Le Havre. Almost completely destroyed by WWII, its reconstruction is a triumph of modern design, earning it UNESCO status. Day 5 – Caudebec-en-Caux We arrive at Caudebec-en-Caux, a quiet riverside town full of French charm. Take a stroll to the impressive

Brottone Bridge and visit the beautifully preserved cathedral – the personal favourite of King Henry the IV of France.

Caudebec-en-Caux is also the gateway to the Cote Fleurie, Deauville and Honfleur that can be visited on an optional excursion, which also includes a tasting of Calvados, Normandy’s famous brandy made from apples or pears. Santé! Day 6 – Les Andelys & Vernon Built in just one year by King Richard the Lionheart in 1196, Les Andelys is one of the most picturesque ports on the Seine. Elevated on a hillside, the spectacular ruins of the Château Gaillard mark an imposing feature over the lower townships of Petit-Andely and Grand-Andely. A tranquil place, we find one of the best views of the river as it winds through the verdant landscape. From here, you can join the included guided walking tour or opt to visit the ancient Château de Vascooueil, known for its striking garden sculptures.

We think that the art of travelling is to enjoy not only the destination but also the way there. With its ever-changing landscapes and stunning valleys, the Rhine makes it easy! On its journey to the mouth of the river in the Netherlands, it has much to show: small villages and charming towns, traditional windmills, scenic riverscapes of course, some of the greatest cities in Europe. We discover the delights of vibrant Ghent, elegant Brussels with magnificent architecture from all eras, plus the largest city, Cologne, renowned for its Rhenish cheerfulness.

ITINERARY Day 1 – Overnight stay Make your own way to our hotel in Ashford, Kent, where we stay overnight on a bed and breakfast basis. Day 2 – Ferry to Calais & embarkation in Cologne, Germany Ferry to Calais and onwards to Cologne, where we board the A-ROSA AQUA for the start of our eight-day cruise. There’s also time to explore the city, well-known for its fine selection of museums, excellent botanical gardens and the famous cathedral which dominates the skyline. Lined with a bustling wide promenade and crisscrossed with bridges, our first glimpse of the mighty Rhine in Cologne is destined to be a memorable one. A major trading centre since Roman times, this impressive city perfectly merges the old and the new. During our cruise, we enjoy an included guided walking tour at one of the ports in the itinerary. Day 3 – Willemstad, the Netherlands After a morning sailing, we arrive at Willemstad, a city in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is a small historical gem with well-preserved fortifications. It received city rights in 1585 and the Reformed Church was built in 1607 as the first new Protestant church building in the Netherlands. Day 4 – Ghent, Belgium Our next port of call in the Low Countries takes us along the northern Rhine towards Ghent in Belgium. Here we find enchanting architecture, artistic masterpieces, delightful landscapes and tranquillity The capital of East Flanders is part of a quartet of Flemish centres of art – the others being Antwerp, Bruges and Brussels. Discover Ghent’s treasures, including the Baroque Saint Bavo’s Cathedral and the imposing Gravensteen, a huge fairytale-like castle enclosed by a moat. In the Old Town, amble the atmospheric streets and find the perfect place to sample traditional delicacies and watch as laidback local life passes by. In the evening, we cruise past the Westerschelde, the estuary of the Scheldt River and the ideal vantage point to explore the Netherlands’ unique relationship with water and how it has shaped this nation.

Day 5 – Vlissingen, the Netherlands Vlissingen awaits, an ancient port city situated at the mouth of the Westerschelde. Take the chance to explore Vlissingen’s protected historic town centre, home to around 300 listed monuments and works of art in its public spaces, or stroll along the Scheldekwartier harbourfront with its lavish yachts. Day 6 – Brussels, Belgium We enjoy a full day exploring Belgium’s capital city. Brussels is rich in history, architecture, gastronomy, culture and so much more! As well as fascinating museums, highlights include the bustling central square of Grand Place, the stunning Royal Galleries, the delightful gardens of Mont des Arts and Leopold Park, a wonderful green space that recalls the days when the bourgeoisie moved in en masse from the vibrant heart of the city. The National Basilica is popular with many too; legend has it that the idea of building such a church in Brussels came to King Leopold II after a visit to the construction site of the Sacré-Cœur in Paris. After all that exploring, don’t miss out on all the culinary treats of this city – fries, waffles and chocolate! Day 7 – Gorinchem, the Netherlands Our next stop of Gorinchem is a beautiful Dutch town, sitting pretty where the river Line flows into the Merwede River. It was founded in 1000 AD and fortified in the 13th and 14th centuries, with preserved ramparts and the largest, fully intact fort in the Netherlands. These days, the city also has a modern style with beautiful terraces and museums. Day 8 – Emmerich, Germany The small town of Emmerich on the lower Lower Rhine gives provides a wonderful time on land during our cruise. Here we can take a stroll along the promenade and enjoy the magnificent view of the Rhine while discovering the ‘Golden Gate Bridge of the Lower Rhine’, a suspension bridge spanning over the river, which, just like its role model, can be seen from afar in vibrant red. It’s definitely worth taking a souvenir photo! This evening we enjoy a farewell dinner together.

Rhine in Flames 9 Days from £1,999

Jul

Join us on a special opportunity to experience the spectacular Rhine in Flames, where our A-ROSA ship becomes part of a twinkling flotilla, to celebrate Europe’s most famous river. From the sun deck, we stand in awe at the kaleidoscopic display that illuminates the mighty river every year with breathtaking fireworks and Bengal lights, a tradition with a rich history stretching back to 1756. It really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley provides a wonderful backdrop for this memorable evening. Complemented by ports of call at atmospheric Koblenz, pretty Boppard, charming Rüdesheim and more, this magical cruise is a true delight for the senses.

Boppard

After lunch, we sail to Bingen and join a flotilla of river ships that make up part of the special Rhine in Flames celebrations. As day becomes night, we take our place on the sun deck and enjoy music and magnificent fireworks on the riverbank, beautifully reflected in the gentle waters of the Rhine. This event is a long-standing celebration of the river, and all that it gives to the communities that lie on its banks; it’s a memorable evening to cherish forever. Day 6 – Mainz, Rhine Sitting at the very heart of the Rhineland’s wine-growing region, sophisticated Mainz is the perfect mix of history and culture. This area is most famed for its fantastic Riesling and Silvaner wines, so it’d be remiss not to sit, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a chilled glass or two. Day 7 – Frankfurt, Main Our next stop, Frankfurt, is undergoing something of a metamorphosis, so expect to find a booming city rubbing shoulders with traditional German charm here. With a cluster of distinct neighbourhoods to explore, wander beautiful botanical gardens, cobblestone streets and dip into cafés, boutiques and museums. Or head to the restored Altstadt and see the reconstructed timber-framed houses so synonymous with this region. Day 8 – Rüdesheim, Rhine Located in the Upper Middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the town of Rüdesheim marks the end of several old merchants’ routes. Drosselgasse, an alleyway here with half-timbered facades known as ‘The World’s Longest Wine Bar’, is one of Germany’s principal attractions and the perfect place to sample some of the region’s best vintages. We enjoy a farewell dinner on board this evening. Day 9 – Disembarkation in Cologne & ferry home We arrive back in Cologne where we disembark and head to Calais for our return journey.

If you fancy a treat, try Debbekooche! Originally eaten by those who couldn’t afford goose on Saint Martin’s Day, it is now considered a regional speciality and is traditionally served with apple sauce. Delicious!

A-ROSA ALVA in Porto

Discovering the Douro & Porto 10 Days from £1,899

May - Sep

Discover the wonderful Alto-Douro Valley and join us for an immersive seven-night cruise of gastronomic delights, culture and history surrounded by truly spectacular vistas! Beginning in Porto, famed for its colourful merchant houses and splendid Old Town, we follow the famous River Douro as our cruise laces its way across the border between Portugal and Spain; its banks peppered with enchanting vineyards, unspoilt walled villages, peaceful hillsides and sun-drenched terraces crammed with olive groves. 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! There’s also the opportunity to visit the ancient Spanish city of Salamanca on an optional tour.

ITINERARY Day 1 – Flight to Porto, Portugal & embarkation in Vila Nova de Gaia (Porto) Fly to Porto in Portugal and transfer to the A-ROSA ALVA in Vila Nova de Gaia for the start of our seven-night Douro cruise. We enjoy a welcome dinner on board this evening. 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. The town is also famed for its train station covered in blue and white azulejo tiles depicting various scenes of Portuguese life. From Pinhão, visit the nearby Quinta da Avessada for an included tour, wine tasting and local evening dinner at the Quinta. Day 3 – Vega de Terron This morning, we enjoy an included port tasting at Quinta da Roeda, famed for its unusual ‘pink port’. Continue to the Spanish port town of Vega de Terron lies on the Portuguese border, surrounded by lush landscapes. Beautifully unspoiled, the town has a charming laid-back atmosphere and boasts a mix of Portuguese and Spanish influences. The beautiful Chafariz dos Pretos fountain, set in the market square, is the ideal place to relax with a glass of port. 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. The city is full of intricately carved golden sandstone churches, palaces and plazas, giving it the nickname La Dorada, the golden city, while its historic centre has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Day 4 – Barca d’Alva Beginning our journey back west, we moor up in Barca d’Alva, a quaint Portuguese river port

Pinhão near the Spanish border. This tranquil town is shadowed by mountains and bordered by terraced vineyards and attractive olive and almond groves. While we are here, take the opportunity to discover Salamanca – nicknamed ‘The Golden City,’ for its ornate pinky-gold sandstone in the sunshine; it is considered one of one of Spain’s most beautiful cities. Day 5 – Pocinho & Pinhão Leaving Barca d’Alva, we make a short stop in the small village of Pocinho, close to Pocinho Dam. Don’t miss the wonderful excursion to Figueira de Castelo Rodrigo; surrounded by almond trees, whose blossom brightens the landscapes, this village is known as the ‘white city’.

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.

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?

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.

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, not necessarily the insurance Just Go! Holidays can offer, 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 an 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 an ‘Explorer’ coach operates a tour it is scheduled for. However, as with all things mechanical breakdowns can occur. Our fleet of ‘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 ‘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 ‘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.

Accessibility Information If you or your travelling companions have any mobility concerns, please inform us at the time of booking. It is a minimum requirement 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. We also hold accessibility information for each hotel featured on our holidays, and are able to advise if lifts and/or ground floor rooms are available. 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.
