Which month? I am doing it July 6, 2012 with a friend.
I have done a Contiki before and there were lots of solo travelers on it. After only a few days on the tour pretty much everyone were good friends and you couldnt even tell who started the tour on their own.

I havent decided yet. I see the tours start in May. I was thinking maybe June, depending on how much A/L i will have by then. I am recently single and wanting to do something outrageous and i thought this would be the best thing to do, just worried about going alone, but you have calmed my nerves a little

I’m hoping to do this trip next yr and will be going solo. I’m looking at the June 29 departure as it fits in nicely with my work holidays.

Im looking at going Sept 14th 2012. I did a Europe Contiki Tour back in 2009 solo and its the best way to go. You get to see and do whatever YOU want to do!! Plus you meet heaps of cool people along the way.

Thanks Everyone. This has really calmed some nerves about going alone. Ive noticed that August/September offer more dates for this trip…..does this mean its a better time of year to go??

That time of year is the shoulder – summer going into winter. Good time to go as summer is peak time and can be quite expensive. Thats prob why there are more dates available as people like to go closer to off peak.
