Hey,
I’ve been looking at both of these trips, and they seem very similar, both 8 days and very close in price.
It’s making it very difficult to pick one, so if any one has any advice or opinions, they would be greatly appriciated!
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
Me and my partner are planning on doing the London to Athens tour next September but are a little concerned about the amount of travel time. Home much time do you spend on the coach? The itinery reads like you do a lot of ‘seeing’ is that just from the coach? Do you only get off during ‘free time’?
Any feedback on this tour would be great 
Thanks!

After my tour i’m going to be staying in Vegas for a few days. While i will do a little gambling i don’t want to do a huge amount(otherwise i know i will be paying it off for months)and am looking for other things to do while i am there. I’m thinking of doing a trip over to Hoover Dam one day but other than that i don’t know.
I could spend the whole time in the hotel and pool (i’m staying at Stratusphere) but thats not me i’ll get bored especially as i will most likely be on my own.
Has anyone got any recomendations of what to do? I’m open to most things (tours, shows, day trips or anything else i may not have thought about) and would really appreciate anyones advice. I think the only thing i won’t do it the Sky Jump ride. There is something about jumping off the top of the hotel which doesn’t appeal to me (and the fact it costs $100 for something that lasts a few seconds). If you not sure what this is look here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsRbipctKTk

Hi Comrades,
Philip Aaron here. Just a quick question about the temp in europe during dec. I am a construction worker from Australia, and as such am used to wearing short shorts to work. I really dont want to wear pants because i find them uncomfortable. Do you think it will be enough that I wear a pair of leggins that I still have from when I used to do professional dancing under my shorts?
Any response from comrades will be appreciated.
Phillip Aaron Barona.

Hey everyone. Im planning on doing the Wild Western from June 13-25…I have read a discussion about what clothes to pack and im slightly confused! I will be travelling around the west coast of america 3 weeks after my tour, and am wondering on the amount of clothes i would have to pack…reading from a previous discussion seems to think to pack lightly, but i will be gone for nearly 5 weeks. any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone!
Im trying to work out my budget for a tour and it just says that entrance fee to Versailles is not included.
I was wondering if anyone knows how much it actually is?
Thanks!

I plan on taking the Aussie Explorer tour in Oct-Nov this year. What kind of weather should I expect throughout the tour? Can I expect the temperature to be at least 20C during day time for most locations?

Has anyone stayed in the Broadway Hotel and Hostel in NY?
I’m looking at booking a private room (shared bathroom) for 4 nights in between my tours.
It’s so much cheaper than the Marrakech, but still one contiki recommends.
Is it far to the Marrakech hotel from there, doesn’t look too bad from the map…
Any feedback would be great,
thanks,
Katie

Hey, can any Aussies tell me what the best credit and debit cards are for overseas purchases? I’m currently with Commonwealth (debit) and Virgin (credit), but not sure if there’s a better bank to be with.
I’m too lazy to ring banks and check, so thought i’d check with people who have already been overseas…
Thanks

Hi all,
I’m planning on spending a couple of days in Anaheim after my tour (Northern Escape 23/09 – 05/10).
Anyone have any advice on whether it’s worth buying Disney tickets online ahead of my trip or just waiting until I get there?
If online’s the best then is there a preferred website I should do it through?
Thanks!

hey guys, im about to book my grand southern tour which starts on June 2nd! my travel agent told me it was best to book it all together i.e the tour and flights through contiki so if the tour does not go ahead i can get my money back, but I have found flights a lot cheaper and can save $700 by booking flights by myself, so what really are the chances of the tour not going ahead??

Hi all
I am flying to New York next month non stop(stopping in LA only to re-fuel) and I have a question regarding duty free. I have read on the net that if you land in america are continuing on a connecting flight that you have to put your duty free into your checked luggage once you clear customs(for me this will be in LA). Will that apply to me as I am actually re-boarding my flight in LA to continue to NY? If so can I buy duty free at JFK when I arrive? I just don’t want to risk a glass bottle breaking and ruining my clothes!
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Im in a bit of a pickle, I’m going on LA to the Bay on August 8th and i have two peices of checked luggage. i was told that contiki only allows one peice of luggage on the tour. Im not sure what i should do with my second peice of luggage.
Im flying from Vancouver to San Francisco, then San Fran to LA. starting the tour in LA and then flying home to Sydney from San Fran.
Does anyon have any suggestions to what i should do with my second peice of luggage, should i bring it with me and hope that the tour mangager will allow it, should i see if i could store it at a hotel? Any advice would be GREAT.

I’m doing some research to better plan out my free time…and is it true that it takes 1/2 hour just to walk from the entrance of the Vatican to the Sistine Chapel?
