Please call us for details.

AIR HOLIDAYS Fly direct to your destination from a selection of UK airports. Return flights and airport transfers at your destination are included in the price of the holiday.

If you're in need of some holiday inspiration, take a look at our exciting range of tours by air (pages 90-95). Plenty of memorable experiences await, from wine tasting in Tuscany to walking part of the world-famous Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

HOTEL RATINGS There are a confusing variety of organisations who grade hotels in the UK under a set of quality standards. Unfortunately, many hotels do not join the rating schemes, making it difficult to judge what the standard of the hotel may be. At Just Go! we are all about transparency and honesty in what we offer on our holidays. We therefore grade the hotels featured in our brochures based on our own experience, knowledge of the hotel and, more importantly, feedback from Just Go! customers. The relevant rating is shown next to each hotel’s name or description in the brochure. Further details of our hotel ratings system can be found at justgoholidays.com/hotelratings. Please note: these ratings only apply to our UK brochure holidays (some Short Breaks and Events have standard hotel ratings). In Ireland, the Channel Islands and Europe, we quote the hotel star rating based on the area’s rating system.

HOTEL ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION If anyone in your party has mobility issues, 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. 6

CRUISE HOLIDAYS Enjoy beautiful scenery from a different perspective with a leisurely cruise along some of Europe’s most celebrated rivers, including the romantic Rhône and the blue Danube. Turn to pages 96-103 for our range of all-inclusive A-ROSA river cruises.

The wildly beautiful coast of Scotland is scattered with hundreds of islands and inlets shaped by the ever-pounding sea and ever-changing weather. Sublimely secluded and totally unique, our tour to the untouched Outer Hebrides is a never-to-be-forgotten experience, as we take in some of the most spectacular scenery Scotland has to offer. Rich heritage and unique wildlife combine with the rugged coastline, stunning mountains and unspoilt islands to create an enchanting place like no other.

ITINERARY Day 1 Flight to Glasgow We fly to Glasgow airport and take a short walk to the Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport where we stay overnight on a bed and breakfast basis. Day 2 Isle of Skye & Isle of Benbecula Leaving the hotel, we travel north to the pretty port of Mallaig and get a first glimpse of what Skye has to offer as we board a ferry for the short trip across to Armadale on the Sleat Peninsula. We make our way across the Isle of Skye, admiring the stunning scenery and rugged landscapes to Uig where we catch the ferry to Lochmaddy enjoying a two-course meal on board. We continue on to our hotel on the Isle of Benbecula, our base for the next two nights. Day 3 Island hopping Today’s island hopping begins by taking the causeway across to South Uist, where the west coast is an unbroken sandy beach in contrast to the east which is dominated by mountainous peaks. We then continue on to Eriskay, famous for the Eriskay Ponies and also for being the real ‘Whisky Galore’ island. It was just off Eriskay, between Great Todday and Little Todday that the SS Politician ran aground in 1941 with 50,000 cases of whisky aboard. The locals managed to save several hundred cases before the ship sank, providing them with a good supply of their ‘Water of Life’. From here, enjoy the short ferry crossing to the Isle of Barra which is considered by many to be the most beautiful little island in Britain. Its tranquil beaches, distinctive culture, where Gaelic is widely spoken, and an ancient history make any visit to Barra a memorable one. If time allows we also venture across the causeway to stunning Vatersay, the most southerly inhabited island in the Outer Hebrides.

The two different areas of Sark and Little Sark are connected by a picturesque isthmus called La Coupée, which offers lovely views of azure coves, rocky cliffs and pristine beaches below.

Every summer, the enchanting Channel Island of Jersey stages a fabulous floral extravaganza, the Battle of Flowers. One of the highlights on Jersey’s calendar, the spectacle of flower-festooned floats, musicians, dancers and street entertainers creates a tremendous carnival atmosphere which involves the whole island and attracts thousands of visitors each year. On this lovely break we also enjoy a unique behind-the-scenes preview of the parade as well as time to explore this beautiful island at leisure.

Battle of Flowers Parade

Exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Battle of Flowers preparations After an early dinner on our second evening, we have an exclusive opportunity to go behind the scenes to see the final touches being applied to some of the floats featuring in the Battle of Flowers Parade. The floats are works of art with designs that are a closely guarded secret, but we can see up close the painstaking detail that goes into each one, chat with the constructors and take photos during our unique evening.

Battle of Flowers Parade First staged in 1902 in celebration of the Coronation of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, Jersey’s Battle of Flowers is one of the largest floral carnivals in Europe and the island’s oldest event. We take our places in the Grandstand to watch the afternoon spectacle as flower-festooned floats parade around the arena accompanied by musicians, dancers and bands, all creating a wonderful carnival atmosphere and a veritable feast for the eyes.

Day 1 We catch the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin where our tour manager joins us. We continue onwards to our overnight hotel in the Dublin area. Day 2 Dublin We start the morning with a city tour of Dublin led by a local guide. This pint-sized capital city is crammed full of character and personality, and we discover layers of history within the streets; a patchwork of medieval castles and cathedrals. Highlights of our tour include St Stephen’s Green, Trinity College and many iconic landmarks in between. Cameras at the ready for the Molly Malone statue, before we enjoy some time at leisure – while humming cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh – as we explore the city at our own pace. This afternoon we leave Dublin and make our way to the Ramada by Wyndham Hotel in Belfast city centre, our base for the next three nights. Day 3 Belfast & Titanic Belfast This morning provides the chance to explore the lively city of Belfast during a tour led by a local guide. Northern Ireland’s capital has undergone a striking transformation, and we learn all about its fascinating history as an industrial dynamo with fingers in all sorts of pies; from tobacco, linen and, of course, ship building. A day out in Belfast would not be complete without a visit to Titanic Belfast, this state-of-the-art multimedia exhibition is easily the city’s most visited attraction. Located at the original shipyard, we walk in the footsteps of the men who built RMS Titanic; the world’s most famous ship. Day 4 Giant’s Causeway & Coleraine-Derry~Londonderry Train Today we head to the incredible Giant’s Causeway; the grand rock formation on everyone’s bucket list. Like a huge game of Jenga that got out of hand, these hexagonal volcanic columns are guarded by the foaming ocean and dramatic cliffs.

From here we head to catch the Coleraine to Derry~Londonderry train, described by Michael Palin as “one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the world”. We sit back, relax and soak up the stunning views of lush green countryside, golden sands, rolling waves and striking cliffs before we disembark in Derry~Londonderry. With some free time to explore the compact streets within the only completely walled city on the island of Ireland, the striking Peace Bridge arching over the River Foyle is well worth a photo-stop.

Please note: due to our early departure, breakfast on the final morning will be taken on the ferry.

WHERE

EAST MEETS WEST Known as the ‘City of Thermal Baths’, we like to think of Budapest as one big pool party - it’s the perfect place to kick back and relax! Peppered with plenty of curvy Baroque and extravagant Art Nouveau buildings, our top pick is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Castle Hill; it’s well worth the climb to explore the fairytale turrets, iconic Fisherman's Bastion, and the almost-endless network of cobblestone alleyways. Budapest will leave you Hungary for more.

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime experience and witness the world-famous Passion Play held in the charming and picturesque Bavarian village of Oberammergau. In the midst of the horror of the Thirty Years’ War in the 17th century, after months of suffering and death from the plague, the residents of Oberammergau made a solemn vow that they would perform a ‘Play of the Suffering, Death and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ’ every ten years if God would spare them from any more deaths. Miraculously, the plague took no more lives in the village. True to their word, the villagers performed their first play in 1634, and have continued to do so every ten years since. We combine entrance to this amazing spectacle with a relaxing few days in Vienna and the Austrian Tyrol.

The French Riviera is one of the world’s most famous coastlines.

This unforgettable journey across northern Spain takes in part of the ancient pilgrimage route to the city of Santiago de Compostela, where the tomb of St James was discovered in the 9th century. Every year, thousands of pilgrims set out on foot, by bike, or even on horseback to experience this route, sometimes just for recreational reasons. Our coach itinerary gives us the opportunity to explore many of the beautiful and historic cities, towns and villages on this famous route in comfort, with the option to enjoy leisurely walks along parts of the Camino de Santiago (the Way of St James). With scenic landscapes and fascinating heritage to discover, this will be the experience of a lifetime.

ITINERARY Day 1 We fly to Bilbao and transfer to our hotel in the city.

Afterwards we travel to our hotel in Burgos, our base for the next two nights. Tonight we enjoy dinner together at the hotel.

Day 2 Bilbao & Guggenheim Museum We start the day with a guided city tour of Bilbao. Situated on the banks of the River Nervion, this Basque port city is a wonderful mix of old and new with a quaint Old Town and striking 21st-century architectural buildings.

Day 4 Burgos This morning we enjoy a guided tour of Burgos. The city is on the main pilgrimage route and is steeped in history. The attractive centre has narrow streets lined with painted buildings and open squares while the main attraction is the extraordinary Gothic cathedral – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The major landmark of the city is the Guggenheim Museum. Opened in 1997, architect Frank Gehry’s spectacular twisting titanium-clad art museum has an outstanding collection of modern art with both permanent and temporary exhibitions which we have time to discover. Tonight we enjoy dinner together in a local restaurant. Day 3 La Rioja, Santo Domingo de la Calzada & Burgos We check out of our hotel in Bilbao and head to La Rioja, a region renowned for its wine. The rolling hillsides are perfect for growing the grapes for this eponymous wine and we enjoy a visit to a local wine cellar for a tasting of this famous red wine. We continue to Santo Domingo de la Calzada, one of the Rioja towns along the Santiago bound pilgrimage route. The town boasts a partially walled old quarter, a labyrinth of medieval streets and beautiful Romanesque cathedral. There’s also the option to join a leisurely three-mile walk along the Camino de Santiago.

Just outside the city stands the monastery of Miraflores and we have the option to take a leisurely walk along the River Arlanzón to this 15th-century Carthusian monastery (approximately two miles). Day 5 León Leaving Burgos, we travel to León, originally settled by the Romans and another important staging post along the Camino de Santiago. Some of the city’s most prominent historical buildings are the Gothic cathedral with its beautiful stained glass, the Basilica of San Isidoro built into the old city walls, the Monastery of San Marcos, and the Casa Botines – a Modernist creation of the architect Antoni Gaudí. We enjoy a guided tour of the city followed by time at leisure or the option to join a two mile walk along part of the pilgrimage route. Later we check in to our hotel in León where we stay overnight with dinner included.

Day 6 Astorga, Bishop’s Palace, Castrillo de los Polvazares, Cruz de Fierro, Molinaseca & Ponferrada We check out of our hotel and head first to the historic city of Astorga, another key point of the Camino de Santiago. Here we visit the fairytale Bishop’s Palace, a modernist building designed by Antoni Gaudí which houses a museum of the pilgrimage to Santiago. After free time for lunch, we continue to the charming village of Castrillo de los Polvazares, with its houses and cobbled streets built with the same russet-coloured stone. From here our coach climbs up to the Cruz de Fierro, the highest point on the Camino de Santiago and a symbolic place where pilgrims traditionally leave a rock. From here there is the option to walk along the pilgrimage route for approximately two miles. We travel on to the village of Molinaseca where we enjoy dinner together in a local restaurant before continuing on to the town of Ponferrada, one of the major staging posts on the pilgrimage route, and our overnight hotel. Day 7 O Cebreiro, Portomarín, Monte de Gozo & Santiago de Compostela Our first stop today is beautiful O Cebreiro. This rustic mountain village is home to a series of pallozas, traditional round stone houses with thatched roofs, and a pre-Romanesque church, the oldest remaining fully intact church on the pilgrimage route.

Portugal’s Beautiful Douro River

Douro Valley, Portugal

From

£1,959

8 Days

DEPARTS

28 SEP

Calling all wine lovers! Are you ready to come and discover the beauty of the Douro Valley during this wonderful eight-day, all-inclusive cruise? The famous River Douro 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. There will be plenty of opportunity to taste the local fine wine too! You’ll also have ample time to stroll through Porto’s splendid old town and take in the view from Portugal’s highest church tower.

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 eight-day Douro cruise. Day 2 Régua & Pinhão We head out of the city early this morning and make for 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 the Mateus Palace – you may recognise it from the Mateus Rosé wine bottle labels.

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. From Pinhão you can visit the vineyards to enjoy tours and wine tasting. The town is also famed for its train station covered in blue and white azulejo tiles depicting various scenes of Portuguese life. Day 3 Vega de Terron 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.

Porto

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.

The optional excursion to Lamego is definitely recommended; this charming little town is also one of Portugal’s most important pilgrimage sites.

Alpendurada Monastery

Day 4 Barca d’Alva Beginning our journey back west, we moor up in Barca d’Alva, a quaint Portuguese river port near the Spanish border. This tranquil town is shadowed by mountains and bordered by terraced vineyards and attractive olive and almond groves. 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”. Visit the ruins of the castle and explore the pretty, narrow streets. We then continue our scenic journey, arriving back in Pinhão in the late afternoon. YOUR SHIP

A-ROSA ALVA

In the evening we arrive in Bitetos, a tiny port nestled in the Douro Valley built over the ruins of a Roman settlement. As well as Roman ruins, the most popular attraction of Bitetos is Alpendurada, an 11th-century Benedictine monastery.

With a maximum of 126 passengers, well-appointed cabins and a casual dress code throughout, A-ROSA ALVA offers a spacious sun deck with a heated outdoor pool, plenty of recliners, sunshades and even a putting green. The comfortable outside-facing cabins feature a shower/WC, safe, air-conditioning, TV, hairdryer, telephone and free Wi-Fi. There is a restaurant, plus a panoramic lounge with bar and dance floor. We can also make the most of the spa, gym and relaxation areas during our time on board (spa treatments at extra cost). Price shown is based on two people sharing a twin outside cabin with port holes. Single cabins on request. Cabin upgrades available (situated on higher decks and complete with Juliette balconies to enjoy watching the delightful riverscapes pass by). Subject to availability. See page 137 for details.

Day 7 Vila Nova de Gaia (Porto) We arrive back in Vila Nova de Gaia. The day is left free to explore at leisure. Perhaps visit one of the famous port wine lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia or head across to the north bank of the river to Porto. The gleaming azulejo tiles adorning church walls and townhouse façades are one of the typical sights of Portugal’s second-largest city, with plenty of mesmerising landmarks at every turn. The old town, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is plaited with atmospheric alleyways and historical buildings. Day 8 Disembarkation in Vila Nova de Gaia & flight home from Porto We disembark in Vila Nova de Gaia and transfer back to Porto airport for our flight home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to pay a single supplement? It is standard practice in the hotel trade to charge for single occupancy of a room as the cost of providing heating, lighting and cleaning etc, is the same regardless of the number of people occupying it. Will my pickup point change? All available pickup points are shown for each tour. Please note however, that pickup points are dependent on Just Go! Holidays receiving minimum bookings from those locations. On occasions it may be necessary to move your requested pickup point after booking to ensure that your holiday can still operate. You will be notified of any change to your pickup with your final confirmation. What time will my pickup be? Pickups will be early morning or on occasion late the previous night – we provide an estimated time in this brochure by pickup town, please see page 136. The exact pickup time from your town will be advised two weeks before you travel. Return times will be late evening, as we expect to depart Stop 24 Services near Folkestone between 7pm-8pm. Who is responsible for my luggage during my journey? 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 damaged or misplaced luggage or any personal items 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 own personal hand luggage. For any holidays by air, the luggage allowance will vary between airlines and will be advised at the time of booking. I have mobility issues – can I bring a walking aid? You must advise us if anyone in your party has mobility issues – 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 space limitations we can only accommodate a maximum of two walking aids on to each coach, either wheelchairs or walking frames so long as they are collapsible, therefore you must pre-book a space when you book your holiday and confirmation of this will be on our correspondence to you. Unfortunately we have to reserve the right not to carry any walking aids that are not pre-booked. We regret we cannot accept mobility scooters or motorised wheelchairs. What do I do if I have special dietary needs? 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 breakfasts.

138

Customers with severe food allergies or dietary requirements are advised to make appropriate arrangements with the hotel prior to 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 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 Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and Europe holidays by coach. For UK, Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands holidays by air, the balance is due with us no later than 10 weeks prior to travel. For European holidays of 14 days or more, the balance is due with us no later than 12 weeks prior to 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. For Omega Breaks holidays, and certain special or sporting events, full payment is due at the time of booking. 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? If you have any special requests, we will do our best to help but we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled, they are just a request. If your request is imperative to the enjoyment of your holiday, please inform one of the members of our reservations staff at the time of booking however, we cannot accept a booking on the basis of a request being guaranteed. General confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to our supplier is not confirmation that your request will be met. All special requests are subject to availability unless and until they are specifically confirmed by us in writing.

Will there be a toilet on the coach? Yes, all the holidays featured in our main 2022 brochure will be operated by a modern executive standard coach including a wc onboard. Regular comfort breaks will also be taken. Will it always be the tour coach that collects me from my chosen pickup point? Not always, sometimes we utilise smaller transfer vehicles to operate some pickups; these vehicles will transfer you to join the main tour coach. We do this in order to offer a wide range of pickup points and to keep 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, Channel Islands and Cruise 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. On holidays by air within the UK you will also need a form of photo identification. 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 fail to do this and deny us the opportunity to rectify the matter at the time, we shall not accept any responsibility retrospectively. If the matter cannot be resolved immediately, it is a condition that you write to us, quoting your booking reference, with the details of your complaint so that we may commence an investigation. Important Notice All prices are correct at the time of this brochure going to print (May 2022). We reserve the right to change our prices from time to time. This could mean that when you book your chosen holiday, the actual price quoted in the brochure may have gone up or down. The correct price will always be confirmed to you at the time of booking. Some of the details within this brochure may have changed since going to print. When you book your holiday we will inform you of any change to any of the relevant details which have occurred prior to you making your booking.
