Hi Viva,
Here's my take on it :)
Positives:
- safe way to travel
- you meet a group of like minded people who you can share the high's and lows of any holiday
- You are never on your own unless you want to be
- You have a Tour Manager on hand who will help with any issues or requests
- You can join all the excursions or drop out of some if you want, depending on the type of holiday you choose
- You'll make friends - sometime for life sometimes just for the holiday
- There is usually someone at the airport to help you check in
- You can read reviews on the forum from people who have first hand experience of a holiday, so often you can decide if it is for you or not before booking.
Negatives:
- There can be some niggles on any holiday depending on your expectations - but usually with the help of your fellow travellers and the TM, it will all be resolved.
- However my biggest problem is that there are too many holidays to choose from and I don't have enough holiday or money to do them all....
The most important thing is to choose the type of holiday you enjoy - JY offers different types of holidays, from escape to explore.
