My friends and I are going on the grand Adventurer in NZ at the end of April. We were wondering what sort of clothes to pack (will it be warm or cold) and we didn’t know whether we should take a suitcase of packs?

Hi everyone
This is just a question for those of you who have been on the tour – how did you go about obtaining your visa? Did you get it upon arrival or before you left?
I’m worried because I’ve heard they do not issue visas at the border late at night (the place that issues them does apparently close). I wouldve thought they’d issue them at anytime through immigration, which is obviously always there. My flight arrives at 22.30 so i am bit worried.
Was the visa easy to obtain? Do you have to prove ‘sufficient funds’? This is one of my last destinations, and after months of travelling, I’m not sure how ‘sufficient’ my funds will be (of course i will have more than enough, but i’d definitely have alot more if this was my first destination for example).
Any help would be really appreciated.

My UE tour goes to Egypt and Turkey. the embassies in Canada said you can obtain a visa either at point of entry or from Embassy before your trip.
However, Contiki recommend everyone got Egypt and Turkey visa before the Tour becasue it may miss transfer or hold up the whole tour group.
Is anyone who participate these tour has a difficult time obtaining Visa upon arrival?
BTW, I am also visiting Prague, do I need a visa for that?
Thanks

Anyone been on the European Impressions tour and have opinions on the optional excursions? Some of the comments on the board have led me to believe that we should skip them entirely, but don’t want to miss out if there is something that is highly recommended. We are going in mid-May. Thanks!

Hey Guys,
I really want to do the Best of USA Tour, and was wondering, if I have already a packed suitcase with no more extra room, what happens or what do I do, if I buy thousands of souvenirs?

I was booked on the Cairns Sunshine Trail from 11th April but have had a call today to say that it’s been cancelled due to not enough people being booked on it. I’m gutted, are there a group of others who have also been cancelled that fancy making a group for a mini-bus road trip? Or does anyone know of any other companies like Contiki that do similar trips?
None of the other Contiki trips fit in with our dates as we booked our flights exactly to fit in with the trip.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
Have been going backwards and forwards trying to decide on Mykonos or doing the cruise. I have read several reviews, but would appreciate people who have recently done either….
The money is not the issue – just can’t decide. I want to relax and do washing – can you do washing in both Mykonos and on the crusie?
Thankyou for any suggestions.
Am looking at doing tour leaving 07/09/08.

Hey guys! First time traveler (except a school trip to NZ 4 years ago) and need some advice big time about the London to Paris tour in Jan 09. I’m 21 and will be travelling with my partner of 4 years.
I have no idea about spending money, and all I have been reading says that London is expensive! I don’t really plan on drinking every night (might have one big night and a couple every now and then) but want to see most on offer and do a bit of shopping!
Any advice from past travellers? Is is cheaper at that time of year? I’ve read 100 Euros per day but then I don’t want to drink my money away.
Any advice on that trip would be awesome, everything I have read has helped but nothing 100% in line with my situation.
Thanks again,
Jodie

Hi everyone,
I’m doing the Grand Southern LA to NY starting next week, but can only stay one night in NY at the end of the trip. I have about half a day to look around before I have to head for the airport – any advice on how to make the most of that time? I’m staying at the Milford Plaza Hotel near Broadway. Even if I could make it to one good department store I’d be happy.

Hi All,
I am planning to do the Wild Western tour in September next year and just noticed it starts and finishes in L.A. instead of Anaheim.
I did LA to the Bay two years ago and the tour left from Anaheim which meant we could arrive early and spend a couple of days at Disneyland which was fantastic.
Apparently the contiki website states Anaheim but the brochure states L.A. for the departure and end point – just wondering if anyone knows which one is correct?
