Hi Everyone,

I’m traveling solo to Fiji at the end of January 2011. I was just wondering if any of you have done the 5 day stop over since there really aren’t any forums about Fiji.

If so, any advice/ tips?

Also, approximately how much money should I bring for the optional activities? since there are no prices on the website.

I am also staying a couple of extra days after the 5 day stop over. Any advice on where to go and/or what to see?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated! :]

Hi everyone
I’m doing the Wild Western in October and am wondering which day of the tour I should book my Alcatraz trip for. I know in the past people have suggested Day 12, which is the second full day. However, the website says there are a couple of new optionals (ie. Bike and Roll San Francisco) which I’d be quite keen on doing. As this is a seasonal optional, does anyone know if it’s likely to be running mid-October, or when during the time in San Francisco this optional takes place? I still want to do the included AT&T park tour if that’s available too. Has anyone done the Wild Western/California Highlights recently where the Bike and Roll was available?
Thanks!

Hi All,

My sister and I are thinking of going to Europe end of June/July. We were wanting to do a tour but I was wondering if anyone has any advise for us? Or what tour they would recommend? Also has anyone ever done a TopDeck tour or know anything about whether Contiki is better or vice versa? Any helpful hints/tips/ideas would be great!

This will be our first time travelling overseas to Europe so we want to live it up as best we can and have as much fun as possible!

Thanks a bunch!!!!!!!!

I am a vegetarian so I am wondering what is served during the included meals? Are there plenty of options for vegetarians (I do eat dairy)or is it recommended that I bring along snacks? From what I have read the train has the worse food so I’m assuming that for those nights it might be smart if I come prepared with my own food.

Thanks!

I am planning a trip to Europe for May/June 2007 and am still unsure of which one to choose. Also i have no idea of how much additional spending money o take with me.



Anyone who has done either of these please help.



Would also like to hear from anyone who also is planning to travel during May/June/July 2007.

I was wondering what the actual town/city is called that is classified under ‘French Riviera’? Nice? Cannes? St Tropez?

Thanks

Contiki is the best!!! I went on a 29 day tour “contrasts” around Europe in August of 06- France, Italy, Greece, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Switzerland and the Netherlands. If you have any Qs feel free to ask! For anyone going on a contiki… a good idea is to take some washing powder… you will find it helps as lots of places charge for it, or dont have washing machine facilities. goodluck! also if your going to Amsterdam beware haha nah its good fun!

Hi
I have booked and paid for a US contiki trip (Grand Southern) departing Feb 22 2008 as printed in your brochure.
However I have just looked at the website dates and it says the the NY-LA route departs on Feb 20.
I have booked flights according to these dates so obviously I am worried about what date it actually leaves as number 1 I don’t want to miss my tour start date and 2 I have booked flights.

If you could clear this up for me asap i I would really appreciate it

Jane

Hello everyone! I’m trying to decide on my first ever trip with Contiki. I’ll be traveling alone and I’m super nervous but I know I’ll make fast friends Smiler My thing is I can’t decide which tour!

I definitely want the London, Paris but which is the better extension:
Amsterdam or Rome?

I want to see both so I’m having a tough time deciding and anyone who has been there or who can offer some advice would be greatly appreciated!

Incidently, anyone traveling on one of the tours in Nov. – I’m looking at Nov. 14th-ish – let me know, that way maybe I’ll know someone before I go Smiler

I’m going on the Canada & the Rockies trip next month, and was wondering if anyone had suggestions about the easiest/quickest/cheapest way of getting from the Vancouver International Airport to the Sandman Hotel.

Thanks for your replies in advance!

Hey everyone haha I know this is probably going to sound quite silly but I’ll be travelling by myself which includes time in New York and I was thinking of getting some pepper spray to carry around with me as a “just incase” sort of thing.

Would anyone know a good place to recommend when it comes to buying some pepper spray?

Thanks xox

I was just wondering if anyone has done the OC Experience optional? I’m not a huge fan of the show, but thought it sounded kinda cool. Any opinions, good or bad?
