Hi everyone I can’t decide on which tour to take..any advice or past experience would be greatly appreciated. I like to party and travel so I’m really torn.

We are travelling to LA in December for LA to the bay. We have a few extra days before the tour and were interested in seeing a sports match. Football, basketball, hockey or baseball. Not really sure!
Can you book tickets online or can you just get them on the day. Does anyone know of websites etc. Thanks

Hi everyone!
Hope you’re all doing well. I’m doing the London and Paris + 2 Days Paris tour from December 26 – January 24, and I was hoping to get some insights.
Have any of you been on this tour? If so, how was it?
Do you think it’s better/more convenient to have a suitcase or a back pack?
I’m Canadian, and wondering if there are any Canadian’s that might be going on this tour as well.
Thanks so much!!

Hi all,
I am deciding this week if I am going to book the London/Paris tour. Has anyone done this tour? If so, any advice? I do have a few questions if anyone can answer:
- What airport do I need to fly into?
- The flight from Paris was $4k, versus flight from London $1100. A friend said I could ride the Chunel (sp?) from Paris back to London and catch my flight. Is this a good idea?
- If transportation to/from the airport is not included, what is the most price efficient way to go?
Thanks guys! Sorry for all the questions!

Thanks

What if you aren’t a skier? does it still pay to go on this tour, or is everybody on it just there for skiing or snowboarding?
I’m only asking because I will be in america in January 2012 and am thinking of doing a contiki (even though I’d rather do one in the summer).. any opinions?

Me and my friend had bought Contiki Transfers from heathrow through our travel agent. Are these tube passes?

Hey guys! I read on here about Europe and how many professional pickpocketers there are and wonder how LA and VEGAS are? I was thinking of taking this travel wallet that has an over the shoulder strap on it..( so basically it hangs on my side) This is where I’d keep my money, passport and bank cards etc…. Would u recommend one of those hidden waste belts for my money and stuff as well. Or am I just too
worried?

I’m planning on staying in Paris somewhere for a week or so during june-aug when i’m in europe this year and i was wondering if anyone could suggest a good area to stay in. I’ll be travelling solo, i’m female and this is the first time i’ve ventured off on my own. I’ve heard of the different sections of Paris but i don’t know which are safe and which aren’t. I’d also be looking at hostel or really cheap hotel accomodation as i’m on a budget. I don’t really mind that the accomodation isn’t 5 star however i would like the basic sercuritys at least. Alot of the hostels i’ve looked at dont even have security lockers. If anyone has any advice on where to stay please reply, i’d appreciate any help i can get =P

hi all, hoping someone can help me with this question
i haven’t booked my flight yet and am wondering how best to co-ordinate it with the end of tour. my tour ends (and starts) in london at “6.30pm” so my questions are:
1. how on time can i expect this to be?
2. using this time as a guide, what’s the earliest i could expect to get myself to heathrow airport and by what means of transport?(are the cabs there really that bad?)
3. does the tour do drop offs at the airport on the way to the of royal national?
4. is it even sensible to expect to leave the country the same night as the tour ends or better to pay for a room to get some kind of rest that night and leave the next day?
thanks to anyone for their advice

Hi there, does anyone know if there is a way of finding out how many people are booked on a particular tour and whether or not it is likely to be cancelled?
10th May 2012
i am thinking of doing either the european explorer or escapade.. do we have to take sleeping bags. as we are staying in contiki and youths hostels!! and is it better to take a backpack or a suitcase doing these tours!! please help me!! although i am still comparing against the european vista as well!! what to do???

Hey Guys,
just wondering if anyone was planing on going on the European Encounters in October? I think we are going to go on the tour leaving around the 16-17 ( so confussed on the dates as the website say one thing and the website says the other). I am a little confused… i have looked at the bookings page and found that alot of people are going on the dates that are not the prefered dates. The travel agents have told us that we should book on the prefered dates as they are the ones that will go ahead if they have to cancel a tour… but all the ones that are not on the prefered dates are full…. go figure.

Hi people

Thanks alot

hello all,
i know these questions would probably have been asked before but i cant find them so im just wondering the difference between time out tours and concept tours when it comes to the nights? do they both offer chances to head into the cities and experience the nightlife?
the big tours on the time out n concept tours are 33 and 45 days respectively (i think) how much would that trip cost in total ??
obviously an estimation would be good
thanks alot for helping and i hope all ur trips go/went well

Hey everyone!
I’m doing the April Best of USA tour – i’ve got a couple of days in LA before and NY after the tour…so I wanted to get an idea of the kinds of things that are included in the tour and also the optional extras…so i can think about what i won’t have done on the tour and i’ll do on those extra days!!
SO, if anyone’s been on the Best of USA before?

I don’t think I’ve seen this question before. I am wondering how many people either:
- pay for their own trip
- have mommy and daddy pay for it
I’d love for mommy and daddy to pay for my trip, but I am working hard and saving so that I can have this opportunity. I commend those people who work hard for their trip, though I am sure there are some people who say “Mom will you write me a check for $5000?” LOL
