im going on a european tour for 16 days in their summer. what kind of clothes should i pack? i have no idea what to expect with the climate because ive never experienced summer other than the blistering heat in queensland :S

I live in the sunshine state and don’t really own any winter gear.
So what should I pack as I am going in September – very end of Septeber to mid October and just realised it is going to be cold weather. Just a question what the hell should I pack?? Stating the obvious PLEASE.
Also are there any tours anyone recommends never to try. And do you have some days where you can’t do everything that is on offer. Oh and of course how much spending money do you recommend for 3 weeks.
This is my first contiki and going solo so any information or trips I would really appricate them.

I’m doing the LA to the Bay in September and have what might be an odd question.
We’re going to be staying at another hotel in Disneyland Park area before the tour and I was curious if it was possible to leave our luggage at the contiki hotel the night before so we don’t have to get it and ourselves to the contiki hotel for the start of the tour.

I’m happy to get around on my own but after traveling for over 24hours to get to Rome just wondering on the best way to get to Hotel Cicerone from the airport. If it was a country that everybody spoke english i dont think that i would be worried but the last thing i want is to be stuck somewhere in rome with all my luggage. Also i dont want to ripped off just because im a tourist?? Any Ideas??

Hey guys,
I am going to Europe for about 4 weeks in Summer & was only planning to take about 2 jackets but my partner said it gets really cold & I should take more?
Any feedback? Thanks!

Okay, so I know they are different, but price wise they are only about $600 different. The winter option is in timeout accomodation and will be a bit cheaper and shorter at 40 days.
The second option is more expensive, concept and 45 days.
I know they are different in the aspect of one being a more winter themed trip and the other a summer, I am a summer person but also like winter.
My main question is for those who have done the ultimate European, is it too long? How was the ferry over to the Greek Islands.
Also if i do the Ultimate I will most likely miss out on Ireland and Scotland all together, is this foolish?
Any options on the two ideas would be super appreciated!
Thanks

Hey!
I’m 23 from Canada and I’m going on the European Experience trip in June. I’m travelling solo and I will be arriving in London four days before my trip starts.
Since I don’t want to go sightseeing by myself I was hoping to find and get to know some people so we can sightsee together. I’m arriving in London June 10th and will be departing London to start my Contiki tour on June 14th.
Interested? Let me know.
I am also planning on staying at a hostel during this time, any recommendations?

Hello intrepid explorers,
Was just wondering if anyone is joining the Ski Austria leaving London on the 12th of Feb 2010?
I’m coming all the way from South Africa by myself, so excited and nervous at the same time.

I was just wondering if anyone who has already been on a European trip with Contiki has brought the contiki document wallet with them to carry around or just put the documents into one of their other bags and left the wallet at home. Is the document wallet durable enough to be used as a purse or around the neck/under clothing like a security wallet? Would I be better off leaving it at home and buying a second money belt (I already bought one for the gentleman that I’m traveling with)? Just trying to save a little money. Thanks

Hi, What are the most common extra tours that poeple do on the scenic southern tour? I am doing it on the 17th to the 23rd of March. I will probably do the funyaks, Jetboat and maybe the maddog boarding. I will be tight for cash just wondering which ones, out of all of them, are good to do and which are the most commonly chosen ones.
Thanks

Just wondering if theres anyone who knows what hotels we stay in for the LA to the Bay tour, im booked on that one Feb 20th 2008, just wanted to check them out on the net before I get over there. If anyone knows the hotels or where I can find a list as I dont think the brochure lists all of them. That’d be great. Thanks

Just thought I’d pass on the link to the CDC website. Its got all kinds of info about shots, travel warnings and even a section on how to make your water safe. Found the site rather interesting.
