Hi all,
Doing the Med. highlights tour in reverse in Sept. Just wondering if anyone knows first hand the travel time from the hotel (assuming its Florida Norte) to the airport. I understand that it’s on the metro line that goes to the airport…just wondering how much time to allot, as we have to catch a 7am flight out on the last day.
Thanks in advance.

What i am talking about is the first two “days” of the tour (B&R) are crossing the international Date line. I live in Japan which is only 1 or 2 hours time difference to Australia. So should i arrive on Day 2 of the tour?
If i go reverse the last two days are travel of the IDL so do i need to book my own hotel if i want to stay those two days even though they are technically still part of the tour?

Hi All
I went to NZ in October/November last year. Although it wasn’t a contiki I can offer people any advice they may need. I went to the following places – Christchurch/Hamner Springs/Lake Tekapo, Queenstown, Wanaka, Arrowtown, Fox & Franz Joseph glaciers, Duneden, Twizel and more. This was a driving holiday so I passed through a lot of cool towns. Did heaps of adventure stuff in queenstown so if anyone has questions feel free to email me at mysterygirl01@hotmail.com.
cheers

Im doing the Wild Western Tour in April and i was wondering what size suitcase you are allowed.
I would have already travelled for 20plus days before joining the tour and will have shopped ALOT before so will have a full suitcase.
Is there a limit or can you leave on in the couch and just take a backpack into the cabin/hotel each night?

Ok so now that my tour is less than a month away (Whirl Jul 15- Aug 3rd), I’m starting to freak out! It doesn’t help that I stay up late at night reading all these posts while so very helpful, give me a whole bunch of other stuff to obsess about!! So my latest worry is because of a post I found earlier about BED BUGS. Freaking out here….is this a serious and common thing over there??? Is it worth it getting the silk lined sheets? I apologize in advance, because there’s going to be a LOT more random questions for the next month before I leave ![]()

Hi!
I’m thinking of doing one of the Italy tours next Mar/Apr, how are the hotel accomodations? Do we stay in actual hotels, or is it more like hostels or motel 6 type of hotels? Is it clean and safe? I’ve never done the tour before so I don’t know what to expect, any advice would be helpful, thanks!

Hi Daniel 22 Perth Western Australia.
I was planning on doing the Ski trip on July 24th but then it only goes for a week. I’ve never seen New Zealand so I thought I might jump on board the Grand Expolorer, tour the Islands go skiing then come back home.
Is anyone else thinking of doing this?
there is 4 days of limbo between them and was woundering weather anyone will be staying around for the extra 4 days in Chrischurch or Queenstown?

So im going on the Euro Highlights, and i was wondering, will there ever be a situation where i have to lug my bags around a city, or will it always be in either the room or the bus?

Does anyone know the name of the Cheese and Clog farm the tours stop – it’s very close to Edam and we stopped there after our bike ride around Edam. It was about a 5 minute drive and had a giant yellow clog out the front. I never wrote the name down and i’d like to pass the details onto a friend.
If anyone can help it’d be much appreciated ![]()

I couldn’t find anywhere that said this… but how does contiki take payment for the optionals and extra excursions on tour? I would assume that these are done on a day by day basis… but do they have to be paid in cash? If so is it in local currency (eg vietnamese dong) or always US Dollars?

I love meeting people from other countries, and that’s why i’m doing Contiki, but i don’t really want to feel like the odd one out
How many Brits go on these tours?
If anyone has been on Aussie Explorer could you give a rough number of Brits you found on your tour out of however many there were in your group

just wondering is there enough time and space to charge everyones music players and cameras? I know I would use both of mine a lot and Im worried I might have to sacrifice music so I can take pictures. How does sharing outlets on the bus work? Thanks :-)
