Good day, JY.

Having completed 3 long-haul wildlife holidays in the past year I'm contemplating a change of pace and style.

I've previously glanced at the plethora of Tours available to Italy. So many regions, all with their own outstanding attractions it makes it difficult to settle on just one (or two) !

Any suggestions folks ?

Sadly, you don't offer a 'general' Tour covering the main attractions countrywide. Surprising given the number of regional Tours on offer, plus the fact that Travelsphere do.

That trip seems to be the perfect opportunity in my eyes to experience this beautiful Country.

Please can you advise, if there are any plans for JY to introduce the 'Grand Tour of Italy' ?

I suspect that's a NO and, if so, as an alternative do Travelsphere run this excellent looking Tour with a 'single supplement' option ?

Kind regards,

Roger

Hi Roger

I've been requesting this tour too! I love the look of the Travelsphere one, it offers everything I want, but I want to go in a solos group. It's just not the same going with a group of couples.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an announcement for next year.

Here's hoping! Rose

Hi Rose,

I agree totally, a solos trip would be much more preferable. Hence my enquiry.

If it were to become available, I'd be looking for a September trip. I would like to work around a busy sporting calendar including the Olympics (June-July) + Wimbledon, Open Golf, Euros Footy etc.. Plus avoiding those pesky kids on holiday 😂

The weather should be good too !

As I say, 'the Italian Dream' 😁

Just need some Just You magic now ...

Best wishes,

Roger

Yes I'd be happy with September, or perhaps May/June. Let's hope for news soon 🤞🤞🤞

Hi Roger

It's on the website now, only date is Ocotber 2025 (I'd have preferred Sept but what the heck!). It appeared last evening, disappeared this morning and is back on this after!! So I've grabbed my place quickly as it visists so many places that I want to see. 

Look forwrad to possibly seeing you there!

Best wishes

ALL HAIL JY  (seemed appropriate 🙂)

A big thumbs up from me for this new Tour 👍

A shame the only option is 18 months down the line, but patience is a great thing !

Thanks Rose and JY for the heads up. My new brochure landed on the carpet about 15 mins after I read your posts ...

A quick scan followed and then I booked up (including all of the optional excursions, which look really good).

Rose, I look forward to meeting you on the trip. I suspect there might be one or two others who sign up too 😁.

JY, out of curiosity, has a maximum number of travellers been set for this Tour yet ?

Many thanks once again for introducing this much desired adventure.

Kind regards,

Roger

Thanks Roger for your message and we’re delighted to hear that you’ve also booked up, that is eager, albeit you’ve waited for this for so long so I hope you have a wonderful time when it comes around.

As soon as we know more about group sizes we will let you know.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Just You Team

Yes it's great news Roger - even if a while to wait 🤣

It's exactly the tour I've been looking for so a big thumbs up to JY.

I look forward to meeting you and others on this tour which, I think, will book up quickly. I do hope that it's kept within the usual numbers though and we're not swamped.

My next JY trip is later this year to Andalicia, I can't wait for that either, the Alhambra Palace has been on my 'must visit' list for ages!

Happy travels

Rose

Hello again JY.

I notice on the website that the eagerly awaited Italian adventure has now sold out. 

It's still over a year away, but I'm not surprised places have been snapped up. Hence my early booking !

If I may, can I ask now that all places are taken how many lucky people will be on this trip ?

I know you're restricted in what info you can divulge, but I don't see where the harm would be in this case.

Just curious ..🧐 

As I say, a long way off still sadly, but I have some interesting travel plans beforehand 🙂

Kind regards,

Roger

Hi Roger

Thanks so much for your message and thanks for booking An Italian Adventure. Unfortunately you are correct, we are unable to share exact numbers for this tour but generally our tours run at an average of 26 people. We hope that helps but if you have any other questions please let us know.

Best wishes,

Just You

Hi Roger

I hadn't noticed that it's sold out, so glad that I booked early as it's a trip I've wanted to do for such a long time. 

I can't really understand why JY can't say how many are going, particularly when it's sold out. I can understand that they don't want to divulge gender, ages etc but total number surely won't hurt. I just hope it's not a huge number as that could spoil it, I find that with anything much over the average it's hard to get to know everyone in the group.

I'm really looking forward to it though and trting hard not to wish the next 12 months away!!

Rose
