January & The Winter Rockies (Jasper Included)

February 6, 2016 By Patrick Twomey

As we begin February here in the Canadian west, days are already becoming longer, although spring still feels very far away. I leave February 7 for Panama and will surely enjoy the 30+ degree (90 F) weather that awaits. Nevertheless, I am a winter person and have just come back from a windy day of skiing at Sunshine Village where we took fun advantage of the new, heated … [Read more...]

The Winter Rockies – in Style!

December 16, 2015 By Patrick Twomey

With ubiquitous images of beaches and sun so often being associated with vacations, it is such a pleasure to spend time with people who really love snow and everything the mountains have to offer! I have just concluded a rather in-depth journey through my Canadian Rockies with an enthusiastic group of well-travelled visitors. They came for winter and indeed that is what they … [Read more...]

Go Ahead in the Rockies

August 20, 2015 By Patrick Twomey

This is a group-specific blog for the Go Ahead Vacations group I have just travelled with through my beautiful Canadian Rockies. After a very wet start in a normally fairly dry Calgary, the weather perked up and together we enjoyed an excellent trip through the very best of the region. Because of the heavy rain on the first day, this enthusiastic crowd enjoyed an extended … [Read more...]

Extract of a review on Just You -Chile & Easter Island Tour

“…Finally, it wouldn’t be right to end this review without making a special mention of our tireless, enthusiastic and outstanding tour manager, Patrick Twomey, whose knowledge and expertise brought this tour to another level completely. His commentary was riveting and always insightful and he helped us to understand the complexities of Chilean society and culture with ease. He was always organized and took everything in his stride. He has an immense understanding of not only Chilean society and history (having lived there for a time), but also of the whole of Latin America and far beyond. He is fascinating to talk to and it was a privilege to be in his company. He also has a wicked sense of humour and was a good friend to everyone on the tour. He runs a very informative and interesting travel blog and website, and it is well worth consulting. I do hope that JY/TS know what an invaluable asset they have in Patrick – if I knew that he was leading a tour or that he had designed it, I’d book it like a shot!”

“Hi there PATRICK, just a few words of thanks., We were on the 7th December WINTER WONDERLAND trip with Travelsphere. It was a wonderful experience for us, and your obvious passion for your country and in your roll as tour manager made it all the more rewarding. Your efforts at showing us the best of the area are greatly appreciated by us both. We havnt stopped talking about all that we saw and keep looking at our pictures, what memories you made possible for us. THANK YOU. ”

A Just You customer review

“….the TM must have a good knowledge of the local area and be able to recommend a number of restaurants to suit people’s varying tastes. A good example of this was in Santiago last year when our TM, Patrick Twomey, on an evening when dinner wasn’t included, took those who wanted to eat out to an area with lots of restaurants. He recommended several places and we made our choice of where to eat….we enjoyed a very good night out in a local restaurant, mixed with the locals and also saw a part of the city that we hadn’t been to during that day’s city tour.”
