HOTEL RATINGS There are a confusing variety of organisations who grade hotels in the UK under a set of quality standards. Unfortunately, many hotels do not join the rating schemes, making it difficult to judge what the standard of the hotel may be.

At Just Go! we are all about transparency and honesty in what we offer on our holidays. We therefore grade the hotels featured in our brochures based on our own experience, knowledge of the hotel and, more importantly, feedback from Just Go! customers.

The relevant rating is shown next to each hotel’s name or description in the brochure.

Further details of our hotel ratings system can be found at justgoholidays.com/hotelratings.

Please note: these ratings only apply to our UK brochure holidays (some Short Breaks and Events have standard hotel ratings). In Ireland and the Channel Islands, we quote the hotel star rating based on the area’s rating system.

Part of Jersey’s National Park, the spectacular St Ouen’s Bay spans almost the entire length of the island’s west coast and boasts mile after mile of golden sand and rolling Atlantic waves, making it one of Jersey’s most iconic beaches.

With its unique Anglo-French cultural blend, the enchanting island of Jersey offers a taste of the Continent but closer to home.

Historically attractive to invading armies because of its strategic position between England and France, Jersey has been fought over throughout history. Today, it is the island’s abundance of natural beauty and mild, sunny climate which makes it so appealing, from the rugged cliffs of the north down to the long, sandy beaches of the south. During our relaxing break we enjoy a wonderful tour of the island’s highlights and visit the peaceful La Mare Wine Estate, a hidden gem in the north of the island.

The Channel Islands were the only part of the British Isles to be occupied by German forces during the Second World War. When the German army had surrendered in May 1945 the Union Jack was hoisted for the first time in five years. This glorious day is commemorated every year in Jersey and on this break we join in with the island’s celebrations. We also explore the traces of the German occupation and discover fascinating insights into the lives of Jersey’s residents during 1940-45.

HIGHLIGHTED EXCURSION The German Occupation – Life in Jersey (full day) We are accompanied by Marc Yates, a local Jerseyman and member of the International Guild of Battlefield Guides, on a full-day tour entitled ‘German Occupation – Life in Jersey.’ We learn about the impact of the occupation upon Jersey and its residents, illuminated by our guide’s personal stories about both his grandfathers who were on the island during the period. We circle the island, stopping at historic bunkers and other sites which have a direct link to the occupation.

COACH ITINERARY Day 1 We catch the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin where our tour manager joins us. We continue onwards to our overnight hotel in the Dublin area.

Day 2 Dublin We start the morning with a city tour of Dublin led by a local guide. This pint-sized capital city is crammed full of character and personality, and we discover layers of history within the streets; a patchwork of medieval castles and cathedrals.

Highlights of our tour include St Stephen’s Green, Trinity College and many iconic landmarks in between. Cameras at the ready for the Molly Malone statue, before we enjoy some time at leisure – while humming cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh – as we explore the city at our own pace.

This afternoon we leave Dublin and make our way to the Ramada by Wyndham Hotel in Belfast city centre, our base for the next three nights.

Day 3 Belfast & Titanic Belfast This morning provides the chance to explore the lively city of Belfast during a tour led by a local guide. Northern Ireland’s capital has undergone a striking transformation, and we learn all about its fascinating history as an industrial dynamo with fingers in all sorts of pies; from tobacco, linen and, of course, ship building.

A day out in Belfast would not be complete without a visit to Titanic Belfast, this state-of-theart multimedia exhibition is easily the city’s most visited attraction. Located at the original shipyard, we walk in the footsteps of the men who built RMS Titanic; the world’s most famous ship.

Day 4 Giant’s Causeway & ColeraineDerry~Londonderry Train Today we head to the incredible Giant’s Causeway; the grand rock formation on everyone’s bucket list.

Like a huge game of Jenga that got out of hand, these hexagonal volcanic columns are guarded by the foaming ocean and dramatic cliffs.

From here we head to catch the Coleraine to Derry~Londonderry train, described by Michael Palin as “one of the most beautiful rail journeys in the world”. We sit back, relax and soak up the stunning views of lush green countryside, golden sands, rolling waves and striking cliffs before we disembark in Derry~Londonderry. With some free time to explore the compact streets within the only completely walled city on the island of Ireland, the striking Peace Bridge arching over the River Foyle is well worth a photo-stop.

Day 5 Dublin & Guinness Storehouse Brewery Checking out of our hotel, we travel to Dublin where we enjoy a self-guided tour of the Guinness Storehouse Brewery. Every great afternoon in Dublin starts with a pint of the ‘black stuff’ and today is no different as we explore seven fascinating floors all dedicated to the tale of Ireland’s most iconic beer. We make our way through a series of audio-visual experiences exploring the history, brewing process and advertising successes of the beverage, before we enjoy a picture-perfect pint in the rooftop Gravity Bar. After our tour, we enjoy some free time at leisure.

Temple Bar, the cobbled district where merriment meets live music is a must-see before we head off to our overnight hotel in the Dublin area.

The 3-star Ramada by Wyndham Hotel is situated in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter and within two minutes’ walk of the Titanic Quarter and many exciting shops.

Further details are shown in this brochure and are also available online at justgoholidays.com/accessibility. If you have any queries on hotel facilities in relation to mobility, please contact us immediately for detailed information.

Please note: tour itineraries will be subject to local and government guidelines valid at the time of travel.

By operating this interchange we are able to offer a wider range of destinations, dates and pickup points. In some cases, on arrival in Dublin, we make a brief stop at Dublin airport to collect flight passengers booked on the same tour.

Frequently asked questions Why do I have to pay a single supplement?

It is standard practice in the hotel trade to charge for single occupancy of a room as the cost of providing heating, lighting and cleaning etc, is the same regardless of the number of people occupying it.

Will my pickup point change?

All available pickup points are shown for each tour. Please note however, that pickup points are dependent on Just Go! Holidays receiving minimum bookings from those locations. On occasions it may be necessary to move your requested pickup point after booking to ensure that your holiday can still operate. You will be notified of any change to your pickup with your final confirmation.

What time will my pickup be?

We will inform you of the exact pickup time from your town approximately one to two weeks before departure. As a general rule on UK holidays we depart early morning and arrive home late afternoon/early evening although some exceptions may apply.

Can I take my car?

Yes, on certain UK mainland tours. We will give you a discount of £25 per person and a seat will still be reserved for you on the coach for the excursions.

Who is responsible for my luggage during my journey?

It is your responsibility to ensure your suitcase is on board the coach. Please make sure you see the driver place your luggage into the coach and, on the way home, carefully check you collect the correct luggage from the driver at your drop off point. We cannot accept responsibility for damaged or misplaced luggage or any personal items and, whilst we will assist you with the recovery of any lost suitcase, this will be upon receipt of the courier costs.

who are coeliac or follow a gluten-free diet are advised to contact the hotel before arrival to check if the diet is catered for. Some customers take their own bread for breakfasts.

Customers with severe food allergies or dietary requirements are advised to make appropriate arrangements with the hotel prior to commencing their tour and speak to the hotel staff on arrival.

Why do I need insurance?

At Just Go! Holidays we are committed to ensuring you are taken care of every step of the way, from the day you book, through to the last day of your holiday.

Occasionally passengers fall ill or have an accident whilst on holiday preventing them from travelling home with the coach or on the return flight or requiring medical care when on tour in the UK, Channel Islands or Ireland. This may impact you financially.

When do I need to pay the balance of my holiday?

The balance due dates (the period before the departure date on which your full balance normally becomes due) are: 6 weeks before departure for all UK mainland, Ireland and Isle of Man holidays by coach. For UK, including Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands holidays by air, the balance is due with us no later than 8 weeks prior to travel.

For bookings made after the balance due date; full payment is due at the time of booking. You can also make interim payments anytime between paying the deposit and the balance due date.

Railway excursions

Please note that journeys on certain railways may not always be steam hauled, even when pictured in this brochure as being so. Diesel locomotive trains are sometimes in use on certain journeys over which, regrettably, we have no control.

What do I do if I have a special request?

How much luggage can I take with me?

For holidays by coach, your luggage must be restricted to one medium-sized suitcase weighing no more than 18 kilograms (40 pounds); we cannot carry any additional luggage items. Also, we cannot accept responsibility at any time for your own personal hand luggage. For any holidays by air, the luggage allowance will vary between airlines and will be advised at the time of booking.

I have mobility issues – can I bring a walking aid?

You must advise us if anyone in your party has mobility issues – the minimum requirements are that you are able to climb the steps onto a coach unaided. Please read the tour itinerary carefully to make sure it is appropriate for your mobility level.

Due to space limitations we can only accommodate a maximum of two walking aids on to each coach, either wheelchairs or walking frames so long as they are collapsible, therefore you must pre-book a space when you book your holiday and confirmation of this will be on our correspondence to you. Unfortunately we have to reserve the right not to carry any walking aids that are not pre-booked. We regret we cannot accept mobility scooters or motorised wheelchairs.

What do I do if I have special dietary needs?

Passengers are requested to inform us of any food allergies/requests at the time of booking and we will attempt to accommodate them, however special arrangements cannot be guaranteed. Passengers

If you have any special requests, we will do our best to help but we cannot guarantee that they will be fulfilled, they are just a request. If your request is imperative to the enjoyment of your holiday, please inform one of the members of our reservations staff at the time of booking however, we cannot accept a booking on the basis of a request being guaranteed. General confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to our supplier is not confirmation that your request will be met. All special requests are subject to availability unless and until they are specifically confirmed by us in writing.

Will there be a toilet on the coach?

Yes, all the holidays featured in our main 2022 brochure will be operated by a modern executive standard coach including a wc onboard. Regular comfort breaks will also be taken.

Will it always be the tour coach that collects me from my chosen pickup point?

Are the excursions guaranteed to run on the day specified in this brochure?

Our brochures and itineraries are put together sometimes over a year in advance therefore, unfortunately, things may change before the tour takes place and some excursions may be swapped from one day to another.

Do I need a passport?

All our Ireland and Channel Islands holidays are sold on the basis that you are a British Passport holder.

It is your responsibility to ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from the date of the tour return. On holidays by air within the UK you will also need a form of photo identification. You need to advise us if you are not travelling on a British passport for port security checks. In addition, any visa requirements are your responsibility.

What do I do if I’m not completely happy?

It is imperative that if you are unhappy about any aspect of your holiday, you raise the matter IMMEDIATELY with the coach driver, tour manager or accommodation provider. If you fail to do this and deny us the opportunity to rectify the matter at the time, we shall not accept any responsibility retrospectively.

If the matter cannot be resolved immediately, it is a condition that you write to us, quoting your booking reference, with the details of your complaint so that we may commence an investigation.
