Hello,
My sister and l are going on the European Encounter (Aug 8) and the Aegean Classic (Aug 26). I was just wondering, is there a washroom/toilet/rest room on the bus? Also, how much is the fee to use the wash rooms in Europe? Do you have to pay a fee to use the wash rooms in Greece and Turkey as well? And, how much should budget for it?
Sorry, for the wierd topic.

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has any advice as to where i can buy 2x 2gb xD memory cards at a reasonable price? all i seem to find in NZ in $135+ for 1 card. Is there any web sites that people have used and recommend for this kinda thing, (im a bit skeptic about using my credit card online). Also im stopping over in Thailand, ino they would have cheep stuff there but would it be decent or nasty. Would hate to loose my pictures! Cat

Hi Everyone
I was thinking of going to Hollywood on the day of my flight (departs LAX 10.30pm), I would like to do some shopping and sightseeing and do not want to carry my luggage around with me URGHHH!!!! Has anyone any ideas as to where I could store my luggage while buzzing around in Hollywood. I have thought of getting the blue shuttle bus back to LAX and storing it with one of the external companies and then getting transport from there to the Sunset Strip, but it seems like this is way out of the way. If anyone knows of any storage places in Hollywood that would be a great help. I also thought of catching the train from Anaheim to Hollywood, if this more realistic and less stressful. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have no idea!! Thanks for any help you can give. Also one more question, if I am not pushing it – my tour is in the first week of October, what is the weather like – what clothes should I bring.
Thanks alot

Does anyone know if you can do tripleshare on the US tours?
We did this on our Europe trip but it was a specific option mentioned in the brochures and on the site whereas with the US tours it’s not mentioned so i guess it’s not available?

I’m thinking about doing the Grand Northern next year after doing the Southern this year and having a brilliant time. Just wanted to know what the pick up hotel is? For the Southern we used the Beacon but i have seen some mention on here of the Skyline?

Anyone else out there doing this tour?

Hi all,
i’m thinking of doing the wild western perhaps sometime next year, I’m from the UK and i’ve done the usual pricing of the package, pricing the flights etc. however, what is actually required for british people to go into the usa as alot of websites seem to contradict each other.
Will Contiki advise me on what documentation I need when I receive paperwork etc from them? Or do they leave you to it? The FAQ mentions visas, but only advises to contact “your visa service or travel agent”.
I’m in two minds of weather to book direct with Contiki, or book through an agent, can anybody share any opinions on which is better? I feel as though because its my first contiki trip on which I’m travelling solo, I might be better booking through an agent as it would be just me to mess this up!!! Can anybody shed any light on which is better? I’m totally clueless to these planned trips as whenever I go ski-ing etc (austria, which is why i am so naive with visas etc.) I have always booked the stuff my self independently, but which is better with this kind of thing?
I know thats quite alot of things to ask, but I’m totally clueless and hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction, or perhaps tell of a personal experience with some of the above.
Cheers,
Karl.

hi all,
i’m planning a european trip for early-mid next year and am currently doing some research to get a head start!
i only ever considered doing a contiki tour but while doing my research have come across some other tour companies such as top deck and budget expeditions which seem to be a bit cheaper than contiki (especially budget expeditions)….but i’m wondering if there is a reason they are cheap!
i know i will be safe with contiki as they are a reputable company, however i would like to spend as little money as possible!
Advice and opinions from either experieced travellers or people in my situation would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I booked the Croatian camping 16 days with croatian sailing from a brochure I recieved months ago. I booked May 9th because it had the little tick of gauranteed departure on it. Now the trip has been added to the website recently and there are no ticks! Does this mean my trip is in danger of not going ahead? Sorry, not familiar with the term so I’m worried! Thanks for any help.

HEllo guys,
I just got a silly question about the eiffel tower.
Is it possible to climb to either the first/second platform (depending on how tired we get) and then pay the extra fee from there and get the elevator to the summit? We have decided that we are certain that we want to go to thwe summit but would also like the experience of climbing.
Is it possible to do this? Or do you have to walk back down and get the elevator from the ground up to the summit?
Thanks
