Hi! Me and four friends are going to LA and San Francisco in June. I was wondering if there’s somebody who’d like to give us some advices or tips or so. It is the first time for me visiting the US. So advices would really come in use. We’re four swedish girls and we would sure like to know which places we should avoid to not get eaten alive.. And also the places we really shouldn’t miss. Thank you. Julia

Hi All!
I’m going to be in Paris on Bastille Day this year for my one “free day” on the RTA tour. Will things still be open that day? What about the Louvre? Normally the Louvre is closed on Tuesdays, but Bastille Day is Tuesday this year, and the Louvre is normally free & open on Bastille Day? I just don’t want to miss out on going there!
Let me know if you know 
Thanks!!!

didnt know this before going on the tour, but you actually join another group that has been traveling for a week already.
makes it harder to make friends on the tour as everyone has already bonded, was still a fun trip…. but would have been a lot better if everyone started at the same time

This might be an odd question but I have heard numerous rumors that Australia and New Zealand people are nice, except to the minorities such as Asians or darker skin tones individuals, is this true?
Are there any one who joined the contiki trips to NZ and found any individuals who are of these ethnicity?
I want to have a great time there and not wanting to get treated poorly, as I am going by myself.
Thanks all!

Hi everyone!
Would it be possible for me to travel to Australia a few weeks prior to the start of a tour? I have friends who live Australia who I’d want to visit before the tour starts, and maybe again after it ends. Is airfare booking done only through Contiki, or can I book it seperately?
Thanks!

Hey all,
I am having alot of trouble finding the right travel insurance. I have been quoted between 500 and 2000 dollars for the same length of insurance in the same area. (365 days) Im going to be overseas for two years this time and I as far as I can see there are no insurers who unsure for this long.
What I wanted to find out is if anyone has a stand out insurance company. Im an aussie by the way. Also, has anyone purchased off an internet based insurer.. Im a bit wary for some reason 
Ive always bought from MBF but they have doubled thier prices!!
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if October Winter Wanderer’s usually fill up. I’ve book the first tour of the season. The thing is that i haven’t booked my flight through contiki, so if it gets cancelled, I’m up S*#t Creek.
Just wondering if anyone had a full or near full tour around this time.
It will help put my mind at ease.
Thanks

hi guys
ive picked a guaranteed departure date for euro escapade in april (so far no-one else on here is doing this date that i know of) and i was just curious as to how many people have been on the tours that you have been on?… in your opinion was it better to have a tour to capacity or one with only half the numbers for instance?
i must admit i am worried that it might just be me and the the TM and driver!

Hi, I’ve booked my Grand Explorer trip for early Jan 2011, now I’m trying to decide if I should spend new years in New Zealand…is there much to do there over new years? I assume it will be similar to Australia fireworks etc, but as I’m traveling solo I don’t know if it will be as good as being at home.
Any advice?

hi,
i am interested in taking the europe magic tour in the summer of ‘07. however i am worried that i might be an outcast since i am a muslim with n asian background. I know people in europe are generally very friendly since I’ve lived in UK myself, however im just not sure that people will be very accepting considering the current row of events.
if anyone from similar background as me has been to the tour recently, please let me know abt ur experience.

I could t find any topics relating specifically to expandable luggae. I know the guidelines say non expandable luggage, but it’s all I have and I really dont want to buy new luggage – is this a rule strictly enforced?

Alright so this was inspired by a post I just did regarding Coo Coo Clocks & Beer Steins in Germany…
What would you say is a “must have” souvenir from each Country? Something that screams Italy, France, Switzerland, etc.
Also feel free to throw in what your favorite souvenir was from your trip
*no pictures don’t count! although they are in my opinion the best souvenir…
