  Hiya!

  I’m doing this tour and I can’t wait! It’s my first tour with contiki too and I’m on my own….so would love to contact people who are also going.

  I didn’t have any mates who wanted/ could afford to go so I thought I’d go ahead and do it myself. We can be Billy no mates together!

  Go for it!

  Are you doing the one with or without sailing?

  hey, yeah there defo will, i was 23 when I went for the first time and im 26 now so will be plenty people usually between 21-35 ish, its usually got a mix of couples and singles and all dufferent ages, there was 2 girls who were 17 and to be honest they found it a bit restricting with thier ages ( was a US tour) so its mainly 21 and up i would say due to money etc, if theres anything else just ask :) x

  Hey Helen,

  I just booked now, so excited!! Decided to do the one without sailing, as I’m doing the ‘Lean to Dive’ tour straight afterwards, so will get plenty of time on a boat :) There’s only so much my poor bank account can handle haha.

  I think our tours overlap though, so we should still get to meet and do a bit of it together.

  I tried finding you on Facebook, but there are quite a few Helen Dones so I wasn’t sure which one you were?

  Steph – thanks so much for all the advice! I’m so excited! I have a feeling this could turn into a bit of an addiction, ha.

  Thanks for your help Steph, I feel a bit more reassured that I won’t be the only old girl on the tour!

  Hi all

  I’m already in Australia (Brisbane) – came out here mid March, so I’m planning on flying from here to Melbourne, then over to Sydney possibly on 5th May, haven’t decided which hostel to stay in yet so may have a look at the Woodduck Helen?

  Happy to meet up the night before although it looks like Contiki might arrange something like that anyway?

  I’m from Sussex in the UK
