[quote=Julia;526102]So the new brochure has been online for a couple of days and the actual brochure is in the post (and some of you have already received your copy) so I thought I’d create a little poll about which of the new tours appeal to you most. I’ve taken the introductions from the brochure to give you a taste of the tour which you can read below. Cast your vote and have your say – which of these tours appeal to you the most?

Bordeaux & a Gourmet Retreat
Sample delicious cuisine and fine wine as you savour the numerous highlights of Bordeaux and the picture-perfect towns that surround it. From your excellent hotel – a converted manor house that prides itself on its superb restaurant – explore nearby Bazas and its UNESCO-listed cathedral, and tick off an array of local specialities on a ‘gourmet’ tour of Bordeaux. A visit to a vineyard in Sauternes is sure to be memorable, while Saint-Emilion offers magnificent architecture and another chance to sample the region’s famous tipple.

Burma & the Road to Mandalay
Hilltop temples affording spectacular views, shimmering gilded pagodas swathed in diamonds and gold-smothered Buddha images are among the sights to behold in the extraordinary land of Burma. All the must-see landmarks are well and truly accounted for on this awesome journey but you’ll also slip off the tourist trail to mingle with the locals on market day, step inside real homes and gain a unique insight into monastic life. You can stroll through unspoilt countryside where waving children and lazing buffalo are your only companions. This is a country where good luck and happiness are just a blessing away and it’s all yours to discover.

Global Explorer
India’s shimmering Taj Mahal and Brazil’s iconic Christ the Redeemer statue are two of the New Wonders of the World – and you will see them both on this epic 30-day adventure. From sophisticated Vienna to vibrant Shanghai, beautiful Honolulu to spectacular Sydney, you’ll experience a host of thrilling destinations and soak up many outstanding sights as you journey to nine very different but equally exciting countries.

Mysteries of Mexico, Guatemala & Belize
The fascinating remains of the ancient Mayan civilisation, stunning natural beauty and jungle adventures combine in this mesmerising holiday. See one of the ‘new’ Seven Wonders of the World, discover outstanding archaeological sites, visit indigenous communities, spot intriguing wildlife and get up close to an active volcano. When it’s time to relax, where better than on a beautiful white sandy beach lapped by the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Ultimate Alaska
North America’s tallest mountain, breath-taking glaciers, serene wilderness – Alaska is blessed with extraordinary beauty. This immense landscape is home to an incredible array of wildlife and a drive along its highways, which are surrounded by natural wonders, is a treat in itself. Enjoy yet more mesmerising scenery as you cruise Prince William Sound and travel aboard a glass-domed rail car, and discover the fascinating history and culture of the 49th state in its modern cities and gold rush-era towns.

Verona Opera Break 
A city with a rich Roman past and many intriguing ancient sites, Verona’s highlights are many. Discover the setting of The Bard’s tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet, and the impressive towers of the Castelvecchio, a stunning Gothic masterpiece in the heart of the city, but it’s Verona’s opera credentials that hog the limelight on this tour. Created especially for opera fans this holiday delivers not one but two evenings of this emotive art form as you soak up the grandeur of the remarkable Roman Arena, one of the world’s greatest opera venues.

I look forward to hearing your comments,

Funnily enough I was having the same conversation with the Holiday creators this morning.....

Watch this space!

Kindest regards,

Julia

I think it's about time JY started to tease us with some of the new 2016 tours that will be making their first appearance in the Sept brochure, what do others think?!!

Cheers,

Bob

This was talked about on the battlefields tour, and I was saying although for what your getting in terms of countries and flights etc it was a fair price my concern was how much more would be needed, it always amazes me how much money goes on food and bits n bobs, on the NZ tour I took a lot of money as I wanted to do and see all I could IE Helicopter and light airplane flight it really does mount up. Also with this tour I have done a fair bit in the past so it's a no go for me.

Just booked next year holiday YOSEMITE, GRAND CANYON, CLASSIC CALIFORNIA, can't wait.

I have just booked next year's holiday with JU YOSEMITE, GRAND CANYON, & CLASSI CALIFORNIA. Can't wait.

Alaska would be a dream trip for me, but it is probably down to Bordeaux. After surviving for 3 days on snacks in France/Belgium because it was all I could afford it would be nice to have some gourmet food included. 🙂

I voted for the Global Explorer as it covers so many places that I have yet to see and need to tick off my To Do list. The only cities that I have been to are Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.

Bordeaux looks promising for one date only of the four. Verona has been done with Aida in June 2011 with Magnificent Lake Garda. Do not want to go to Alaska, Mexico or Burma.

As it is my 60th birthday on NYE 2016, I should be going to New Zealand as it has been on my list for the past 20 years. Still waiting to see what you have for the Festive period in 2016- pretty please ;)

I've voted for the Verona Opera Break. Money will not permit more than one long haul trip every few years, so I would prefer to take two, maybe even three, short haul holidays each year. That way there's more time devoted to deciding where to go, booking, anticipation, planning, packing, etc etc and all the exciting stuff that wraps around each holiday I take. When I win the lottery then I'll be able to take all the long haul trips too. I just wish they'd get the numbers right soon. It must be my turn soon!

Hi Julia

I voted for Global explorer would love all that has to offer and only Sydney done in recent times as well as Hong Kong and LA quite some time ago but all the rest is new to me though daren't ask for the amount of time off needed to do it so maybe at a later date, also as I have been looking for these new tours since they were mentioned i hadn't found any of them until that Global Explorer popped up tonight on the Home page so can't comment on the others as havn't seen them yet

regards

Dave
