I was crushed when I heard

I’m curious of those who went to London, what do you recommend?
What were your favorite things to see? Favorite pubs?
Safety tips…other tips?
I posted on the London Explorer forum but it is a bit dead, so I figured I’d post here since many people have London incorporated into their trips.
Thanks

Hey all
I am planning to go on my first contiki tour next july, and wondering what one would be more fun to do, either a camping tour or concept.
Can anyone also tell me which tours are better to go on.

Hey y’all,
I am trying to meet up with a friend of mine in Rome during my European Whirl tour, I was wondering/hoping that someone might know where the group stays the two nights in Rome? I’m guessing that it’s probably outside of the city, if it is do we get into the city pretty early? Or if it’s in the City can anyone recall where/what the hostel is called?
Also, I’ve tried looking but I can’t really seem to find a definitive answer about it; does our TM give us a guided tour in Rome or do we pay someone else for it as an optional? Does the tour include going to the Vatican/Sistine Chapel/St. Peter’s? And either way do you think my friend would be able to join the tour of the city by either paying the optional fee or just tipping the TM or something?
My last question is about optionals: I see from reading people’s reviews of trips that they have done a lot of optionals that I don’t see listed as being offerred for my trip. Are the optionals different for each trip even if we’re staying in the same city? Or maybe just that those optionals aren’t offered anymore? I am trying to plan my money as well as I can before I go which includes which optionals I’ll want to do, will there be more offered to us once we get there?
Thanks so much guys!

My sister and I booked the Spanish Spree for Aug.16, 2010 but are stopping in Paris before for 2-3 days. What should we see and what can we skip?

I just got my Contiki wallet and paperwork and my last name is spelled wrong just by the first letter being an F instead of an S is this going to be a problem?

Hey peeps.
I am definitely doing the Grand Southern (April 2) followed by the Grand Northern (May 1), and am just wondering who else is going.
Also I’m tossing up whether to go on my own or do the New York Explorer in between.
The price is slightly cheaper if you just pay for the extra couple days accommodation, but the Explorer throws in the cruise out to Liberty and from what i can understand also a guide to some spots around the city..
Thoughts?

I’m doing the Greek Island Hopping tour in September with 3 of my friends and of COURSE I love to drink/dance/stay out until the sun comes up, but are there any other excursions/sights/museums/etc. besides just bars & nightlife? Obviously there are a lot of sights in Athens, but what about Mykonos, Ios or Santorini? Any insight would be great, thanks!

Hi Guys,
I’m booked in for the Ultimate European tour leaving july 15, however it is not guaranteed to depart. Does this mean it has a greater likelihood of being cancelled? And if so, does contiki help with arrangements for another tour around the same time?
Cheers

Hello. I am thinking of going on the Beaches and Reefs tour in September or October and was wondering what the weather is like then at those specific destinations (fraser island, surfers paradise, cairns, whitsundays). I definitely don’t want to be deprived of swimming and snorkeling and all the beach stuff!! Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi guys,
This is a question for New Zealanders… are there any credit cars or debit cards that you would reccommend in regards to fees etc for Europe??
Feels like I’ve been researching this for ages, with no luck.

Hello everyone,
I’m doing the WW and know we get 2 free days in San Fran and was just wondering what Alcatraz is actually like? Do many people on the tour go? And what is it actually like? I don’t wanna pass up the oppurtunity to visit, so just want a feel of what its like, or whats better to do in San Fransisco?!
If it helps, im not really a museum person, but i am interested in forensics and like crime and punishment…

Our flight gets in at 5:10 am on a saturday. we are staying at the royal national but are unsure what time check in is and where we can leave our suitcases instead of carrying them around all day.
Does anyone know if you can leave bags at the Royal National and do they charge?

Is anyone doing this one? There seems to be a few ppl going on the 19th but none on the 17th 2010? (I mean there are no posts on here etc)
Just wondering why there are 2 tours so close together? Is one departure date better than the other?
