Have just looked at the list of tours released for summer ‘08 and the prices seem to have increased by quite a bit. If the US dollar holds at the current rate, it’s not too bad, but if it appreciates in value again, the tours will be quite costly for people outside the US, Asia especially.
Spotlight on Greece has increased by quite a fair bit, should have gone last year!

Howdy!
I’m thinking of booking the ski trip on aug 16 2009 + a few days pre tour skiing at mt hutt in christchurch.
I did the original ralph/cleo ski trip 2 years ago, it was freakin’ awesome!!!
Let me know if you’re thinking of heading over at the same time.
Wesa.

Hi,
I wanted to check, is booking multiple tours the same discount as booking for a group? Every time I go to look at the 2 trips or more discounts, it just directs me to the group booking discount page.
If this is the same discount, I was looking at doing 3 tours with a friend, does that mean we get 5% off each tour? I would like to find out how this works exactly so I can get my head around it.
Thanks.

Just wondering how do you use a credit card as a debit card? Do you still select the account as Credit or do you press savings?
I plan on using my credit card (wizard) as my debit card by loading it up with all my cash before my trip. But im never used the cash advance feature at an ATM before.
If you’ve done this before pls help!

My sister and I are interested in taking the London & Paris trip around June of 2007. I would like to hear from anyone who has taken this tour.
I’m concerned about free time to travel around the two cities to just explore and see sights, etc that we want to see. I know this tour has less stops, so is there ample free time to just experience the culture? London is our focus and we’re thinking of going a day or two early to take in more of London… do you think this is necessary?
Also, I read that the bus will hold souvenirs in a separate compartment… how large of a bag would they accept?
If anyone has a blog or review on this vacation, please post your links as I would love to check them out!
Thanks! ![]()

Has anybody gotten a tattoo while on their trip, I was thinking about getting one to remember the trip by maybe while in Amsterdam or London, can anyone make any suggestions about safe/clean places to go to?
Also are the prices about the same as in Australia?

hi,
Im heading OS for 4 months to the US and all over europe and was just after any companies that have done you good on travel insurance. ive been to the US before and understand about the level of travel insurance required. Its just that STA are quoting $900 (inc 20% discount) and medibank private are quoting $500 (10% members discount). i dont need skiing and adventure sports cover just full comprehensive.
Has anyone traveled worldwide for a similar time and has a good company that didnt cost the earth?? (I dont want to skimp of course but dont want to pay an astronomical amount either.)
Thanks,

Hello,
We booked the European Magic tour for June 30 – July 10th. Just curious as to what the London portion of the tour consist of? I am planning on spending a couple extra days in London (before and after the tour) and would like to get a thorough tour of London. I just don’t want to do something twice. Any advice on what to expect in London would be great. Thanks!

Hey, just wondering, I am coming to the contiki tour from travelling around america and so am going to have more than 20kg. Do I have to leave my bags in the basement for my whole contiki trip, or can I store it for a few days and get one of my friends pick it up. She is arriving about two days after I leave London..?
thanks

HI ya!
Maybe you are moving/just moved to Christchurch, or maybe you are just wanting to make some new friends?
I am 29 years old, my boyfriend is 32, (been together 8 years! Both kiwis) just seeing if there are any other females or couples out there that just want a friend to chat with, go for a cuppa, dinner, movies or clubbing.
I work at a real estate company in administration, love meeting new people (have met a few online now!), fave music – 80’s, Robbie Williams, Madonna, U2, Crowded House, (kiwi sounds) Jack Johnson, dance…lots of music actually!!, like travelling, (went on a roadtrip in USA for 4 weeks), lived in Canada for a year, cooking, watching rugby, movies, facebook.
While living in Canada I had only couple of friends, and found it really tough & lonely being in a new city, so I thought I would come on here and see if anyone is in the same boat as I was there and looking for a new friend – I have made some awesome friends off the internet!
Have done two Contikis – one in Canada one in Europe.
Cheers

Hi there,
I have been given a name to contact the main office in LA. I have written a letter (the old fashion way) emailed twice now without any response.. Does anyone know how I can contact them???
I am getting really annoyed with the lack of communication from Contiki.
Any ideas would be GREAT!!!

Hey everyone.
During my trip to Europe I plan to stay in a few hostels while I am there. Question is do you need to bring a sleeping bag/blanket for the bed or do they normally provide them? If so what do people normally take?
Help appreciated.
Steve
