I am arriving in London on the 7th and staying at the Royal National so I have a few days before the tour starts. When the tour is finished i have booked a flight from athens back to london but i think i might stay in europe and travel a lil bit more. If anyone is interested in staying longer with me and running a muck it would be great. Im meeting a friend over there and may go to Ibiza and party for a couple of weeks.

Hello, everyone I am considering booking this trip next week! I see that there are alot of girls going alone, yay! I am doing a Contiki next week to Egypt and I’m kind of waiting to see how that goes. I am going to do the London to Athens plus Greek Island Hopping. I wanted to get on here first and see if people were going to arrive a few days early/stay late? I would like to add on a few days at the beginning and possibly a while at the end (a week give or take.) Let me know!

Hey did you guys see on the contiki website that our trip is a definite departure now? so so excited! I cant believe we still have to wait more than 2 months! wish we were going now! Does anyone know if there is a limit to how big our bag can be on the bus? I’m nervous that they’re gonna say mine is too big

I think it has to be certain weight to get into heathrow. Im gonna get sleeping bag ect when i get to london so i can take more stuff on the plane. I am staying at the royal national for 3 nights before the tour. we should all meet up and have a big night on the london town before?

Havnt really planned it but i do want to travel a bit more after the tour and would be much cheaper if someone came with me. I was thinking a bit more europe, amsterdam, germany i would like to go to spain for the running of the bulls that would be soo interesting
