  Ohhh GOOD!! I’m traveling alone I think- just really anxious to go and don’t really want to wait on my friends who can’t get vacation time- so I’m hoping everyone who does this tour is really outgoing and friendly! I’m getting excited!

  Yea, it’s going to be a great trip and I’m sure everyone will be outgoing and looking to have a fantastic time! I know a few ppl who have done Contiki and they absolutely loved it. Feel free to private msg me your email/MSN to chat.

  I booked separately because I’m backpacking for 3 weeks prior to the Contiki tour. Are you guys doing the 3 day Greek island cruise as well or just the Rome to Athens trip?

  I’m debating it, I think maybe I’m going to do the one with the 3 day sailing- I think its a brand new tour so I haven’t read any reveiws on it

  I booked my own airfare. Not going on the cruise cause I can only take so much time off of work.

  Yea, I’m pretty sure it’s a new tour this year. We’ll be doing it, it seems like it will be neat experience.

  I know someone already asked, but are most people here taking just the Rome to Athens tour without the crusie? Or are some taking the cruise- I’ve been going back and forth on which one to book.
  
  This tour looks so fun, I’m getting so psyched- august needs to get here now!

  I am just doing the tour. Not going to be able to do the cruise as well, although it sounds great.

  I just booked my spot on this tour so I’m officially going. God those stimulus checks couldn’t have come at a better time. I decided to do just the tour, to save me some money and also to allow myself to explore the mykonos that weekend. I think someone had posted that they’re going to the mykonos after the tour too- did yall already book your hotel? I already booked a room for that Friday night but everything for Sat seems really booked already. I also think that the tour with the greek sailing will overlap with just the regular tour, so that should be fun/we’ll be able to meet and hang out with both contiki groups. Should be fun! ALSO- sorry this is such a massively long post- what do yall think of suitcase vs those huge backpack?

  hey guys and gals,
  I’m considering this tour as well. I haven’t ever travelled solo before, or with Contiki, for that matter, but I’ve got some great recommendations from friends. Sounds like fun!
  Does anyone know what it means on the website when it says that tour date is not a guarenteed departure? (Does that just mean they need to have a certain number of people sign up before they can go?)
  and in response to your question, I think I’m definitely going with the roll-y suitcase instead of huge backpack, since it’s not a “backpacking” type of tour and it’s a lot easier on the back…

  Hi! Yeah it means that they have to have a minimum of people signed up for that tour. I was debating between the two tours (w and w/out the cruise), and the travel lady did say that there were people booked for the cruise one on the 6th thats not guaranteed, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. It sounds like there’ll be a good number of people going on that tour.

  Yea, I wouldn’t worry about it too much either as August is usually a peak travelling time. As for a backpack versus suitcase, I’m going with a backpack, but that’s mainly becuase I’ll be going throughout Europe prior to the tour. I think either way you’ll be fine, the advice I hear is to pack light!

  Hey guys, so have any of yall booked your flights yet? When do you get into Rome? Because I get into Rome around 1pm on August 6th and I’m trying to figure out what I should go see that day after getting to the hotel. I figure it’d be easier for me to do the Rome tour with Contiki the next day. but I also want to make the most out of my time there so I def want to sightsee after my flight lands. thoughts? Also, sorry to be so lame, but is anyone on facebook? should we start a facebook group?

  I don’t really have any suggestions for what you should do in Rome for your time, but I’m on facebook and would definitely join up for the group. Feel free to PM me your name and I’ll add you, or vice versa. Crazy how facebook has become so huge.
