Hi. I have never been on holiday on my own before but am very tempted by the 2 centre trip to Croatia in early May next year.  I was just wondering if anyone had done this trip this year, what the hotels and weather was like in early May and if anyone was thinking of going next May.  Also any other single traveller tips welcome!  Thanks

Hi- I’m looking at This tour to Croatia in May also- I’ve been on many tours with JY- mainly long haul- but I’m keen on doing a short haul,option next may and Croatia is top of my list- it’s also been recommended by friends I’ve met on other tours. May is a good time for Croatia appArantky- before the huge crowds get there but good weather- I’m really interested in seeing Dubrovnik and the National Park- I’m currently looking at either the first or second May date.travelling alone is really easy and addictive with JY- arrangements are generally spot on; itineraries good ; and you always meet others in the group that you get on with/ can chat to- it’s been my way of seeing the world! - you will meet people at the airport ( the luggage tags that JY send you give it away) and generally your tour manager is at the airport also- from then on your worry is gone and you can concentrate on enjoying the holiday!- go for it!-Sue

Hi I'm looking at this holiday for 4th May 2018. It's my first time travelling alone. Feeling apprehensive but excited as well. Looking forward to meeting new people and seeing a new country.

Hi Everyone,

I am booked for the 18th. May (7 nights) Gatwick to Croatia.

It is my first time with Just You and I have only been on one other holiday on my own, so I am a little nervous. 

Is anyone else going on this date?

And is anyone going on this date from Gatwick? (Flight OU495 at 16.25)

Also if anyone has been with JY to Croatia before have they any tips?

Thanks.

Hi fellow travellers, I have just booked this holiday flying from Manchester on 31 August, would love to hear from anyone else doing this trip on that date. I have travelled with JY quite a few times now, the last two years to America and have enjoyed each and every trip.

Hi to you Both

I am sure you will really enjoy this holiday.

I went last year on the Istrian Coast  tour in May  2017 and was SO impressed with the country that I booked again for this May 4th on the Makarska tour

I am flying from Manchester

Dont worry about travelling alone. The first time I went I nearly got off the coach going to Heathrow ! but since then I have been on 11 Justyou/Travelsphere holidays  [did the Baltics tour Sept 2017 ]

You can do your own thing or join in with others and everyone is friendly

Its cold and  3" of snow here in Sheffield at the moment but its 15C and sunny in Split getting warmer next week

Can't wait

Looking forward to meeting you 🙂

Yours Sue

I'm going - can't wait!  It's my fourth JY trip.  Not sure how leisurely it will be as I've booked the excursions too.....  I'm sure it'll be fun - I'm looking forward to meeting everyone

Hi Everyone,

I am getting quite excited and looking forward to going.

Is anyone else departing from Gatwick on the 18th May ? ? ?

Does anyone know who our Tour Guides/Managers are ? ? ?

Will anyone be at the airport to meet us (I have not been given any ailine tickets) ? ? ?

I must admit I am a little nervous and it would be nice to hear from anyone else who is going.

Hi Ken,

So glad you're excited about your trip with us! 🙂

There are 28 people departing from Gatwick and you'll have a local Tour Manager, although I don't have a name at the moment.

A Just You rep will be there to meet you at the airport to sort out tickets and get you checked-in.

Enjoy your holiday!

Thanks,

Vickie

I haven't been in that part of Croatia for a long time, but it's lovely.  I went in early May and the weather was sunny and warm although it did get cooler at night.  

I hope you have (have had) a lovely time, and look forward to your review.   🙂
