Currency Conversion and Exchange Rates
Last Updated: 23rd Apr 2013
More Tour and Travel Advice for: Australia, USA & Canada, Australia and New Zealand
Rates of exchange vary from minute to minute depending on world markets.
For up to date rates of exchange check out: xe.com
Please note: When exchanging cash or travellers cheques it’s best to check the rate and commission before making the exchange. Asking how much you will receive for what you want to exchange is always good practice.
Many exchange outlets offer ‘no commission’ exchange but the actual rate that they exchange at is not in your favor.
Once on tour, your Tour Manager will be able to recommend some good place to make exchanges in the local area, otherwise banks generally have competitive exchange rates.

Exchange at the airport is not always best. If you can, exchange at your hotel. They usually have pretty good exchange rates.

yeah compared to new, Mercantilism at the airfield is not e’er first. If you can, commutation at your hotel. They commonly feature pretty peachy commercialism rates.

A tip for people looking for a decent coffee shop.. if you don't already know about it, you will because most Contiki travellers find out about it - its The Grasshopper. Ask a local and they should be able to tell you where to find it.
Take 50€ and put it somewhere safe, your suitcase, your travel documents, wherever. This way you'll have it just in case.
The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
