I am taking the Euro Escapade on May 16th and I have a question about the transfer at the end. I know my tour ends in Amsterdam in the morning and then I can take a transfer back to London. What time would I be back in London, for example would am 8:00 pm flight be enough time? All help is appreciated.

I am feeling really sad today! I’ve been looking forwarnd to my trip EUropean vista 9th June 2008 and my travel agent told me that they had problem with the visa (for non australian passport holder) as it won’t be done until June the 30th. It wasn’t even my fault, I’ve been asking them since begining of the year that I want to get the visa ready but they said not to worry as there’s still “plenty of time ahead” and now they turned around and said this. now i’ll have to organise annual leave for next year, as this year is fully booked. if i pospond i will loose money..maybe all the money on my air ticket. My hard earned money will be gone. Has any1 ever have this problem before? I need some advice!

Hello Everyone,
Wondering if you could help me, I am going to Perth before I join a contiki tour. Can anyone recommend a nice clean safe hostel in Perth?
Also is there anyone doing Cairns to Sydney on Jan 8th?
Look forward to hearing from you all!

Hey Everyone. I’m planning my next Contiki trip, and I’d like to do either the russia trip or the Scandinavia trip. I don’t have time to do both together, just one or the other.
Have any of you done the whole russia + Scandinavia tour? Which half would you recommend if I can only do one?
Thanks

My husband and I have been looking and looking AND looking at what European trips Contiki has to offer. We decided the European Inspiration would be our best bet considering we stay in each city for two nights. (Less time moving our luggage= more quality time at each stop 
).
After deciding on the tour we needed to pick a date. We already knew we wanted to be in Munich during Oktoberfest so that narrowed in down. There are four dates that they offer during Oktoberfest.
The first date September 11th (a guaranteed date) gets you to Munich the night before opening day of Oktoberfest and then you are in Munich for the entire first day. We’ve heard that the first day is the MOST packed day of all and that getting into a beer tent is close to impossible without tickets ahead of time.
The second offered tour is September 18th which gets to Munich on a Friday night and you can enjoy Oktoberfest on an extremely packed Saturday.
The third date September 20th gets to you Munich Sunday night and you can enjoy a Monday, considered one of the best days to visit Oktoberfest!!! The crowds are still there but it’s not as bad as opening day or a Saturday. We’ve even read that you are able to get beer tickets the day of and will have time to visit most of the beer tents without fighting through too many crowds!
The last September date is the 25th (the other guaranteed date) and you will get to Munich Friday night and you can enjoy the last packed Saturday of Oktoberfest.
We are picking September 20th and we are hoping (praying) that you will too! It’s not a guaranteed date which means that without 25 people they will cancel the tour. And as an added benefit my husband speaks German so you can hang out with us! Hope to see you on 9-20-08!!!!

14 nights accommodation – 1 night in a Contiki Special Stopover, 8 nights in Contiki Villages, 4 nights in hotels
What are these code words? I do not understand.
This will be for my girlfriend and I.
Do we get showers? How many people share rooms?
Should we go less days 
on a superior trip for privacy?

I’m looking to do the Reefs and Rainforest tour, from Cairns to Sydney. I was thinking of Sept, Oct or Nov 2010. I’d like to know from people who live there, have been to Oz before and those that have even done this tour what your thoughts are. As i’m from the UK i’m not used to the hot weather and have heard that this may be a good time to go as it’s not too hot and not too wet, I’ve also heard that June or July would be good! I would appreciate any advice!

Hello all. I’m hoping you guys have advice on whether it is a good idea to rent mopeds in Santorini. My sister and I were thinking that this would be a fun way to explore the island. But I also hear that the roads are narrow and winding. So do you guys think its a good idea and manageable for some young women in their 20’s who have never ridden a moped before to rent them in Santorini?? Thanks…
