Anyone done European Explorer + Greek Island Tour
10 Oct 2012 Jessica asked
Hi Guys,
Im in the middle of planning a Contiki in June 2013 and would like some feedback from anyone that has travelled solo on the European Explorer + Greek Island Tour.
What were your favourite places? How were the Hotels? What was the food like? Were the extras very expensive? Did you feel like you got to spend enough time at each destination?
Anyone thinking of going in June 2013?
So excited cant stop thinking about it!
Thanks
Jess xx

Hello and Hello
Well I just booked this trip today with a mate who I meet on my contiki tour last year in Europe (winter). Booked the 2nd of June.
In regards to your questions, my last tour I did most of what is on this one apart from Greek Island and Croatia. So your in for a good ride. Hotels are usually pre decent and had on bad experience but was only at that place for one night so it wasnt a huge issue, the hotels are generally within the city centre if not on the outskirts which equates to a cheap taxi ride anyways. 2 days in generally enough depending on how much you wanted to see. I know in Rome i didnt have enough time and ended up rushing on a few things.
Pre excited about this. Cannot come any quicker!

Hey, I have heard great reviews about this tour, (which is why I picked it). I am leaving on the 30th June. Unfortunately I don’t talk to the people anymore so I can’t find out how expensive the extras are, but i did hear you can pay a certain amount on the cruise and all your drinks are included, this was 2 years ago so may not be entirely accurate now, but can’t wait!!

Hi Jess,
I had a look at the prices for the extras on tour and I think they total up to about $1500 AUD for all the extras, this being said there are a couple that you may not be able to do concurrently, plus you may not want to do all of them. I hope this helps

Hi Erika,
There is 4 including my friend and I. The other 2 people only joined within the last week so we were getting scared no one else had booked!
From what I can tell we will all be travelling together and then splitting into 2 groups when we get to Greece. It would be good if there was a meet up for all people doing the European explorer.- 1 person likes this
