Grand Southern LA- NY aug 22nd 2013
22 Jan 2013 Explorer1244927 asked
Hey contiki travellers was wondering if anyone is thinking of doing this tour this year, I am travelling alone from NZ and booking this tour!
I can't decide whether to do an add on contiki of New York or is it better to just travel around seeing the sites with people from the Contiki?
Any advice would be appreciated :)

Hi Sara!
I’m actually in the process of booking this tour!! I’ll be travelling solo as well and I’m from Australia.
I did a contiki tour in Europe last year and did a London add on – it was basically just an accommodation package with a few attractions included (not an actual tour bus), I haven’t checked out the New York one though but at this stage I am planning on just going to do my own thing with people on the tour afterwards.Ros

Hey Ros
Nice to meet you! sounds good I think I will just book accomodation in New York afterwards too, are you going to spend a few nights in L.A before the trip? I’m looking at flying in 3 days before the contiki starts :)

Hi there! Welcome to the tour :)
Sara – I’m not actually spending anytime in LA, I’ll be flying in for the pre tour meeting and staying the night before tour but that is it. Before the tour I’m spending almost a week in New York with my family. New York accommodation is so expensive!!

Hey guys :)
I’m staying a few nights in LA before the tour so a meet up will be in order I think!
Ros- New York accomodation is really expensive!!! I think for 4 nights I got a quote for $1100!! and thats at a basic hotel, so I’m going to investigate the contiki add on because it includes dinner and some activities for the same price as just the accomodation I was quoted!
Its exciting!- 0 people like this

Go to the website airbnb.com, we paid $180 for 5 nights in NY, very cheap and you get to stay in a lovely house :)
