I have enjoyed two Just You holidays and find your Reps to be helpful and well informed. I met some interesting, strong and personable ladies on this Xmas trip. Our Rep was excellent in every way. Our hotel was Characterful - some of the rooms were a little quirky, but perfectly acceptable. I had to request coathangers, as there were only two, but they were delivered promptly.
