Does anyone know if we need to bring a sleeping bag on the budget (hostel) tours? I didnt think so, just because we’re sleeping in hostels not camping out in camp sites. Am I wrong? I’m planning on doing the Contrasts tour but I dont want to lug around a huge sleeping bag. Someone please clarify! Much appreciated!!

Hi,
has anyone stayed here. Im looking to stay for a week after my contiki in July 09.
Im a bit concerned there are no lockers in the room for your bags- will this be ok.
Im a newbie to hestelling- is there anything I should know- if you have anyt tips that would be great.
Is it always better to get a room with less people- say 6-8 than a 10 bed dorm?
thanks

Im also really annoyed becasue im gonna bein paris the week before and only have a small bag to take, becasue my suitcases are too big, so i can only take my cabin bag!!! for the whole week of paris AND the contiki tour! and then i still cant go back to where i live, becasue im on a gap year and my school i work out is in the middle of nowhere and realy far away from the place im going to after the contiki tour. im so screwed!!!
Anyway,
I cant wait to meet some awesome new buddies. Let me know if youre going when i am!

Firstly, I am going on a European Whirl tour this summer. My initial plan was to take travellers cheques, but from reading the FAQs and information, it’s obviously not the right choice.
I don’t know what to use this summer – I am not old enough to have a visa or mastercard, and my debit card doesn’t even work in the US (im from Canada). I’d rather not carry around all my money, it’s too much of a risk. What should I do?

I want to a concept/budget tour in May 2010. I want to a European Highlights tour. I have a couple questions
1. I know the Australian prices and date came out, but is are prices lower or higher than 09 prices
2. Are the accommodations in concept/budget tours any good or plain bad…and are they secure?
3. Im going to be 23 years old, is that kinda old to be doing concept/budget tour. I heard those trips are made for a younger crowd.

Hi Guys
I’m hoping to book the Grand Adventurer Tour in August 07. Just wondering if any Queenslanders can give me a heads up on how much they paid all up for their tour plus return flights? Also any tips on skiing QT? Cheers Rache

Hey, all!
I actually went on the European Discovery last summer and loved it. If you have any questions, do let me know! I had a chance to do mostly all the optionals from whitewater rafting in Austria to going to the Moulin Rouge in Paris.
And if you are booking from the States, I can actually get you a $100 discount off the optional excursions. Just shoot me an e-mail! Happy travels!
Best,
Krystina

Hi, just a quick question, ive heard alot lately about the whole ipods and getting into the USA; customs checking ur ipods and them not letting you into the country or something if they find out you have music “illegally” downloaded music. Is this actually going to happen or they are just discussing this? I am heading into the states in October and dont want to have a problem bringing my ipod with me.
Any advice/help would be great.
Thanks

What’s the guy/girl ratio on the NZ tours?
And what do people usually do for dinner? I mean do groups tend to get together for dinner somewhere, is it usually a cheap meal at the hotel or elsewhere else? I can imagine it could get quite expensive trying to find somewhere to eat at some locations?

Any opinions out there on Grand Adventurer vs Grand Explorer? Auckland is the main difference I see between the two. I am mostly interested in Queenstown (I am an adrenaline/rafting junkie), which is on both tours. So do I go with the cheaper tour, or is there a compelling reason to see Auckland? Thanks for your inputs! Jeri

Well girls and boys
Have you thought of rolling each clothing item! it saves so much space! I’m taking my backpack! only 13 kgs! to fill up! i couldn’t believe it! it had most of my shoes and half of my wardrobe! i had to pack to find out how much i can fit and how much i can weigh! The backpack bag was expensive but its worth it! i’m travelling to madrid first then contiki via london.

I’m gonna be doing the check out London package for 4 nights before my tour. Just wondering if when people have done this have they just explored the capital by themselves or found people from contiki to explore with? Everyone I have talked to is either staying with mates or has arrived with mates.

We are doing a week in London on our own, then flying to Berlin for the start of our Berlin to Budapest tour. Anyone have any suggestions on good budget airlines within Europe, or bad ones to avoid? We know about some of the big ones (RyanAir, EasyJet) but there are tons of others. We also have to get from Budapest to Venice and have only found one airline that does it, WizzAir. Sounds sketchy, but has anyone ever flown them?
Thanks!!
