Hi everyone,
This is my first post in these forums. I’m very excited because I just booked my first trip to Europe! I decided to go on the Inspiration Tour because it sounds great! I initially wanted “European Impressions”, but that one doesn’t include Rome. I don’t think you can go to Italy and not visit Rome. 
However, the “Impressions” has Barcelona, Spain, which is really important to me because being Mexican, I obviously have some Spanish background. But I decided that Spain deserves a special tour in the future, so I finally decided for “Inspiration”, besides this one goes to Rome, Berlin, and Prague (which I heard is beautiful).
Is anyone going on this tour?
My name is Luis…I’m from Mexico, but I’ve lived in the USA for a long time. My residence is in California (near Palm Springs). I’ll be flying from LAX on July 26.
I hope to meet a lot of great people. Being a teacher, my passion has always been to travel and bring a little culture to my students.
Greetings,
Luis Barraza-Lugo

Hi everyone.
Im just wandering, does anyone know anything about when and how much to ask a person to cut a price down? Is it just at markets?

So, a few friends and I are thinking about doing this package. Anybody that’s taken this trip before, what are your reviews? Was there enough time to do enjoy the nightlife? Should we do a seperate trip to Amersterdam altogether? Any feedback would be great! Thanks!

I have been looking through the old posts and it seems to look like when people are talking about partying, they are talking about Budget tours. I am about to leave in a few days for a Superior tour (Great Britain and Southern Ireland) and even though I am not a “Party Animal” I am hoping to get some good partying in while experiencing what Europe has to offer. Am I going to be disappointed on the Partying front?

Hey I was just wondering how does the tour meet up and makesure that everyone is on the bus before they move onto new countries?? I am worried that my fiance and I will get stuck and lose our tour members…Please reassure me that won’t happen!
Thanx

hi :-)
I’m doing the Grand Southern from NY to LA on 20th Feb 09, and I’ve left 6 nights at the end of the tour to pretty much do whatever I want. What are some peoples recommendations? I don’t mind flying to some other states. I’m really keen to check out:
-Chicago
-San Francisco
-San Diego
Also, if it helps, I’m 24 and I’m more into experiencing the culture of places rather than being touristy (although I don’t mind seeing the sights!)
I’m also having two nights in NY prior to the trip, any recommendations on what to see? I’ll probably do the typical Statue of Liberty, Empire State, etc etc, but throw some ideas out there :-)

Hey im trying to decide if its worth staying at mgm grand instead of the bad contiki motel. Is it possible to book a room there when u arrive in las vegas (so hopefully i can see if anyone on the tour wants to stay with me as i am travelling alone), or would it be booked up or too expensive booking on the day u arrive? I’ll be there on monday november 24- 25. Has anyone done this before or seen people on their tour decide to stay at a casino hotel?

I am looking into several European tours (winter wanderer and london & paris) and I noticed some people saying their tours start on different dates than what is on the available dates I printed from the website.
Am I crazy or are there other tours I don’t know about???

Can anyone please give me any advise on travelling in europe over christmas and new year… Im looking at doing the European Encounter and think it would be an experience to celebrate the festive season in another country and fellow travellers…

I traveled on previous tours with Contiki. On the European Getaway tour, I recall some wild loud parties every night. However, I am more of the mellow type and not so much into loud parties. I do better socializing in small groups at a cafe. When I traveled on European Getaway, I had a lot of difficulties keeping up with everyone. Does the Australia tours have more of the social environment I’m looking for?

Has anyone got any great ideas on how to spend Christmas Eve/Day and Boxing Day in London. I know most places will be closed but, aside from free attractions, if you know of any markets, pubs, etc that would be open or things you have done in the past on these days please post your suggestions.
Also, my friends and I will be staying at the RN Hotel so if you know of something happening there please let me know.

So I was just curious what to budget for my trip to Berlin/Prague. I have heard to budget about 120 euros a day for other European trips but I am not sure if this is the suggestion for Berlin/Prague. Whats everyone else planning, AND are there any other past travellers to Berlin and Prague that could give me some advice?!?!
