I booked the Croatian camping 16 days with croatian sailing from a brochure I recieved months ago. I booked May 9th because it had the little tick of gauranteed departure on it. Now the trip has been added to the website recently and there are no ticks! Does this mean my trip is in danger of not going ahead? Sorry, not familiar with the term so I’m worried! Thanks for any help.

HEllo guys,
I just got a silly question about the eiffel tower.
Is it possible to climb to either the first/second platform (depending on how tired we get) and then pay the extra fee from there and get the elevator to the summit? We have decided that we are certain that we want to go to thwe summit but would also like the experience of climbing.
Is it possible to do this? Or do you have to walk back down and get the elevator from the ground up to the summit?
Thanks

Hi everyone.
I have been looking at doing the “Road to Athens” tour, as well as the Egypt tour in March/April/May next year, but have read travel advisories that say Egypt isn’t very safe at the moment, and that I’d need to exercise a “high degree of caution”. I’ve always dreamed of going to Egypt, but am not so sure it’s the best idea. I’ve thought of maybe doing the European Panorama instead – spending more time to explore more of Europe instead of risking my safety. But I don’t want to regret having missed out on possibly the only opportunity I will have to see the beauty of the pyramids and sphinx, and immersing myself in the history of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?! This will be my first trip overseas, so I’m a bit apprehensive, but still so excited.
Do I follow my heart and dreams and go to Egypt, or do what my brain tells me is safer and just stick to Europe? 
Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Cassy.

Hi,
I will be going on a timeout tour to Europe this July.
I saw on some discussions that I could use either Ekit card or ‘European Union Calling Card’ to call back Australia (Sydney). Can I make those phone calls from the hotel room that I stay? How much is the average charge for the phone calls from the room?
Can I also give my family/friends the phone number of the hotel I am staying and get them to call me? Do I get charge for receiving phone calls?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi Guys
I did both these tours this year and can highly recommend them. I had the time of my life. Both tours are amazing!!! So if you are thinking about doing either of them.. GO FOR IT!!!! If you ever get the chance I highly recommend doing both of them. You wont regret it. 
Cheers

I know this is not particularly a ‘Contiki’ question but was wondering if anyone on here has been to Tallinn?
I’m looking at another tour to mix with my Contiki next year and it starts in Tallinn but I don’t really know much about the place, ie: whether it’s safe for a solo traveller (f/26).
Anyone know?

Couldn’t find this in the search function
It mentioned in one of the brochures that I can purchase some tickets in the contiki basement for things such as madame tussauds,
tower of London if I am interested(which I am). Are the prices discounted from purchasing at the venue and is it worthwhile buying at the basement? Or is there somewhere else I can buy in advance where I will get a better deal
Thanks in advance

Can someone please explain exactly what expandable luggage is? I’ve noticed a lot of people mention it as a good thing to consider for a Contiki tour but I’ve never heard of it before. I’m travelling from Canada to London and Paris this summer, so I’m sure I’ll be doing a bit of shopping. If you can recommend a brand perhaps that you’ve purchased that would be even better.
Thank you!

Hi all,
I am leaving for London in 3 days time to do the 25 day camping tour starting on 21st July. Thus I have a bunch of time before the tour to make my way to Athens for the start of the tour. I am planning to train my way from London – Netherlands – France – Spain – Italy on my way but have no idea of the best places to visit and the cheapest way to get there – am in desperate need of some advice!! Anyone who has travelled alone through the contries please help me out with any advice!
Thanks, Beck.
