Posted this in another forum then realized this was probably the better spot for this. Both seem how I want to spend my vacation. Anyone out there debating between the two?

Hi all,
I am doing the Euro Discovery from Sept 5. The itin states we will be there on the 15th of Sept and the optional is Nouvelle Eve. I have found a tour that goes to the Mouline Rouge with dinner in the Eifel Tower and a short cruise along the Sienne River. Problem is, the tour picks us up at 6pm from our hotel. Question is what do we do during the day in Paris and will we be back at the hotel in time for the pick up time?
I have called the Contiki line here in Aus but it wasn’t very helpful and she wasn’t sure what we do during the day???
From what I gather the group has breakfast together and then venture out seperatly to explore Paris and it is up to you to make your own way back to the hotel? Not sure if anyone can confirm or deny?
Any help would be appreciated and I apologise if the same type of thread has been listed previously.
Thanks!!!

Hey all! I’m heading on the Eastern Road and Med. Highlights this summer. I was just wondering, do I need an overnight bag on these tours? On my last tour, we needed an overnight bag when we were in Switzerland, I’m just wondering if we’ll need one this time. I’m thinking of using my carryon for the plane as an overnight bag, but I’m not sure it’ll be large enough.

Hey everyone!
I’m just stressing out because in some information contiki gave me it mentions that “External metal framed backpacks” are unacceptable.
I am unsure because it isnt specific- but im getting the gist of it.
Heres the go: I have a regular sized backpack for everyday use. But it has these metal rods that arch it away from my back- in order to make it cooler and not sweat. Meaning- i guess the bag cant be bent… could be awkward squeezing into a small place.
Im stressing out as im leaving in 6 days… and spent 1.5 hours on hold to contiki the other day…
Any help would be BEATIFUL!

im booked onto the european discovery tour in January 08 but a little confused about the accomodation.
The trip itinery and the inclusions say that we have accomodation on the day that the tour ends but i was under the impression that when we got back between 5-8 we went to accomodation we had arranged ourselves. Just wondering if anyone knows what this is about, just a little hard to try to organise where were going to stay. thanks alot

Hi, I’m thinking of doing the Grand Southern tour in July, since that’s probably the only time I will be able to go in the near future, and was just wondering whether that’s a decent time of year to do that tour, since I know it will be super hot all through the south and probably hot and humid on the east coast. Also I’m guessing there will be huge crowds at disneyworld and stuff, if anyone has any comments, I would love to hear them

could someone please tell me what the names of the places you have stayed at for the concept tours? european contrasts/european escapade or euro spirit.
Thanks!

OK I am from Perth, in West Aus and am in the process of booking a London to Athens tour and am wanting to know what Airlines everyone has flown, and their overall experiences with that carrier. Would you fly with them again?
The last thing I want is to be stuck on a plane with rude staff and uncomfy seats on a long haul flight… Any input would really be appreciated!!
Thanks

Hi guys just a quick question regarding the European Vista tour.
In the tour notes it says that the afternoon is free to explore. I really want to go see the Louvre while I am there, is this feasible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’m looking at doing the Scandi/Russia tour next July. I will have just turned 35 by that time and am worried that I will be the Grandma of the group. Could any fellow travellers advise of the average age of travellers on this tour and also roughly how many were on their tour? Was the tour fully booked, or coach half full? I hoping that there may be some fellow oldies travelling on these type of tours as it is not the average Euro trip. Also, any idea when the 2010 summer dates will be released? Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hey guys I’m lexie and im from the gold coast. Im 23, single and will be doing a european vista tour on the 18th July.
Just a general question here.
I have read a few comments from people saying they wish they had booked single rooms on their previous trips. I have heard that it can issolate you from everyone but at the same time it would be good to have a place to chill out in after a long day.
Could anyone advise whether it would be a good idea to book a single?
any advise would be great. cheers ; ) lex

hey
trying to work out where to stay pre and post tour. so after my previous post failing i thought i would change to question… where have you stayed pre and/or post tour? what was the cost? what was you opinion of the quality of the hotel/hostel? how close was it to the contiki basement?
Thanks all

Hi Guys
I am going to LA on the 23rd of November and start the LA to the Bay Tour on the 24th. I arrive first thing at the morning and even though I am staying at Kyoto Grand I assume I wont be able to check in that early so will have a day doing stuff and getting tired so I can try beat jetlag!
Does anyone have any recommendations for what to do in a day… in LA? I was thinking of just hoping to take a bus out to the coast and go for a walk around. I have heard down town LA near the hotel is a kinda dodgey area and shouldnt be there late at night as I am travelling alone..
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
