Tour Overview

Discover the wonderful Alto-Douro Valley and join us for an immersive seven-night cruise of gastronomic delights, culture and history surrounded by truly spectacular vistas! Beginning in Porto, famed for its colourful merchant houses and splendid Old Town, we follow the famous River Douro as our cruise laces its way across the border between Portugal and Spain; its banks peppered with enchanting vineyards, unspoilt walled villages, peaceful hillsides and sun-drenched terraces crammed with olive groves. This is an enchanting tour of sleepy villages and charming towns, with sumptuous dining experiences and a few culinary and cultural evenings of entertainment thrown in for good measure! There’s also the opportunity to visit the ancient Spanish city of Salamanca on an optional tour.

What a fantastic holiday we...

30-Aug-2022

What a fantastic holiday we had to Edinburgh Tattoo and Loch Lomond in August 2022 with Just Go Holidays, (Two adults and our 20 year old daughter) It was well organised, we had a fantastically friendly driver (Tony) and the holiday was great value for money. Unfortunately the Scottish weather wasn’t on our side, but that didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves. We loved it so much we have booked a European holiday for 2023. I can’t fault this company, it’s the first time we have booked with them and it won’t be the last.

Just returned from Italy, ...

03-Oct-2023

Just returned from Italy, brilliant tour guide David pleasant, helpful and friendly the same could not be said of the receptionist at our first hotel no food (apart from breakfast)or bar. We arrived 7pm ish asked him if there was anywhere nearby to eat and he told me to "use google". Found a small Trattoria a few hundred yards from the hotels secondary entrance. The lighting at this side of the hotel was not good neither was the road outside. This hotel was more used to weddings and functions that caterers were brought in for not for holidaymakers. Better planning needed!!

I am very disappointed with...

14-Feb-2024

I am very disappointed with my coach trip I paid £70 supplement for being single and I paid for a sea view when I arrived the room was small the bed was dirty the Seaview was a small square window and the view was a roof I asked to be changed was given a twin room with a seaview which was ok. The room was very dated the toilet flush didn’t flush there was enough Pugh milk to make one cup of tea and the sugar sachets had been there so long the sugar had gone hard. The dinner food was stone cold the salad lettuce was limp to say the least the food was atrocious so I decided to dine out. The breakfast I found eggs and toast which was edible. I have no idea why I paid an extra £70 the experience was awful. I will never go on another coach tour with just go holidays as they clearly do not checkout the hotels they allocate. Shame on you just go holidays I was appalled

We have recently come back...

02-Feb-2024

We have recently come back from a short stay at warners nornton grange isle of white which was booked through just go holidays. After quite a long conversation with a very rude customer service chap called Simon at just go holidays who more or less told me that I shouldn’t complain about anything as we booked in January and what do you expect to get and if you don’t make sure that what you should have in your room is there and don’t tell the reception don’t complain about it. I’m very upset and feel that Simon thought that I was not worth talking to. On the whole don’t bother to pay extra for an upgraded room because others that didn’t pay will get the same room with the same two bottles of water two packs of crisps two packs of biscuits and two soft drinks without paying an extra £70 and if you don’t get what you think you should get please do not bother to ring customer service they are not interested in helping you

Really disappointing with this company...

26-Apr-2024

Really disappointing with this company Just Go Holidays as my mum cannot take her overnight trip due to being critical in hospital. The company are not being very helpful, no refund, zero flexibility, will not change dates or pick up location for someone else to take the trip in her place. No compassion whatsoever but good enough to take an elderly vulnerable persons money 😡 should be ashamed and I find this inhumane behaviour!

Currently on our way to...

24-Jun-2023

Currently on our way to stoke on Trent from Manchester . We’ve been on the coach for two hours already and are just leaving altrincham. We are staying at a hotel in stoke on Trent to go to a concert in Liverpool???? Living in Manchester. Currently going in the opposite direction. When I got the itinerary I rang ‘just go’ customer services and I asked why our hotel was in stoke when I live in Manchester and are going to a concert in Liverpool. I was told that a team of experts work out the logistics and this is the most appropriate itinerary. I questioned the logic and was told that my t’s and c’s state that we will stay at a hotel in the UK! So I have to be grateful that we’re not at a hotel in Torquay. The customer service rep was quite defensive. I was very polite and was taking it in a light hearted way. I suggested that Liverpool is 50 minutes on the motorway for me and had I known that I had to go to stoke I would not have booked. He would only concede that ‘maybe there should be more clarity! Still on the coach . On the way to Lymm services now after 2and half hours: everyone on this coach say they won’t be booking with ‘just go’ again. Driver is lovely:
