Hey
I’m heading out soon and just wanting to know if its hard to get perscription medication while in europe. I’m asthmatic and instead of buying heaps of puffers and taking them with me is there any places I can get them over there.

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?

Thanks!!

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 :-)

Hi All,
A group of my mates and I are looking at heading to Europe for New Years Eve this year.
I am wondering if anybody has done a tour over the new year period, and if you have, what was it like?
Where were you for new years? Would you recommend it? What did you do? Did you have a good spot to view the fireworks and have a few drinks?
Cheers guys

Almost all other Contiki tours advise using a suitcase as luggage. Would it be better to use a backpack/duffel bag as primary luggage for this type of tour instead?

im staying in hotels until june and then i start my tours which is ‘concept’ and they say bring a sleeping bag.
its right in the middle of summer and could i get by with just a blanket or is it to cold?
if you’ve been before what did you use?

Hello, I just booked my Contiki trip (European Impressions, May 08) last week with my travel agent, but he suggested I look for air on my own. I looked last week, and the prices (out of Chicago) were around $650, but the next day, they were up around $800. In everyone else’s experience, how early did you book your flight? And if anyone else has flown to Europe from Chicago (we’re going in to London and out of Paris), do these seem like decent prices? I don’t mind waiting a while to book, but have no experience and not sure if sooner is better. Thanks!

I’m doing the Great Britain Summer tour and I’m not sure whether I should pick the date that is in Edinburgh for the Military Tattoo or not. I’m sure the atmposphere would be great during the military tattoo but at the same time I’m worried that Edinburgh will be really busy with tourists and stuff and it might be nicer to see the city when there’s nothing happening. Any opinions?

I’ll be travelling from London to Athens from 30th May to the 19th June.

Or will there be local pubs etc etc showing the games??

hey guys,
dunno if anyone can help, have had a look around the forums and cancelled tours and haven’t seen anything to answer my questions so hopefully someone can help me out!
basically am looking at doing european discovery on the 29th of december.
my main concern is that it is not a preferred departure so I was wondering what the likelyhood of a tour around that time if it would be cancelled? is the end of december a busy time?can anyone give any recommendations on going around that time?
my other question is new years. going to be pretty awesome being in europe for new years! has anyone been on contiki over new years- what was it like etc
any advice would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
