Ultimate European plus Greek Islands 2013
1 Oct 2012 Ange asked
Hi,
I'm wanting to do this tour around June/July, but have a few questions before i book, as I'm travelling solo for the first time. if anyones thinking of going let me know cos I'd love to get to know a few ppl before I go!!
1- if anyone has been- what type of crowd do the longer tours such as this attract? I've heard its an older crowd as people need to save up for long tours like this...do the longer tours also attract solo travellers? As I'm a solo 22 yo female traveller who likes to party, so am really looking to meet a few people like me!
2- Do long tours such as this separate along the way? as in more people join the tour mid away, and some leave?
3- Approx how many people are on each tour?
My main concern is that ill be stuck on a long tour with people that I won't get alone with.
Would love any feedback! thanks :)

Hey Guys
So me and my mate (who I meet on my last European contiki – who would of thought) are booking this one planning on doing the 9th of June as seeing as it is guaranteed departure . I did a winter one last year and thought I’d do a round 2 but in summer.
After that tour, i plan on going to Scotland for a bit, then Spain, Portugal and Ibiza and fingers crossed if i can get Tomorrowland tickets belgium for a few days for the festival!!

That all sounds like great plans! After the tour, I’m doing a tour around Great Britain and Ireland. Then going to do a sailing tour in Croatia! And if all things work according to plan, head down to la tomatina. And stay in Spain and do a semester abroad! :)
We should start a Facebook group of everyone on the tour! :) feel free to add me: Rebecca Isselin- 0 people like this

sounds cool- i wish I had a solid plan!
Are you doing sailing croatia through contiki? I think its called ‘croatian island sailing’ or through another company?
I’m thinking about doing that to. Seems so popular that tour.
Yeah agree about the fb page!!

Hi Ang
What did you end up deciding for your tour dates? I have so many of the same questions as you, and will be solo traveling so would love to meet others before the tour starts!
I want to get the most of the summer time so trying to figure out which start date would get the most sun!- 0 people like this

Hey Kristen!
I’ve decided to do this tour on June 9th! Perfect for soaking up the sun cos June/July are early-mid summer.You should join this tour! We have a bunch of cool ppl signed up on the facebook page- heaps around our age and travelling solo too. Yeah I agree its great to meet people before the tour starts- especially for solos.
Let me know what you decide :)
