So I am trying to decided between the two options. What is the better between the two. If you could provide pros and cons that would be greatly appreciated! I am not sure if I should chill in Mykonos? Is there lots to do? Or should I continue the voyage through the Greek Isles?

I’m thinking of doing the Grand Southern in october but i’m a bit
worried about the hotels that Contiki uses on their tours… Read some
stories about the hotel in Vegas which wasn’t very good.

I know the names of the hotels in Anaheim (LA) and New York but my dutch travelagency does not know any more names…

So could anyone give me some names of the hotels they stayed

(not only on the Grand Southern tour but   the 
Contiki/USAHotels in general, so I have an idea of how the hotels are)?



I would love to hear more about your experiences in hotels during you trip!



 Thnx!

I really want to go to Cardiff, Wales, but I’ve been searching through the lists of trips and whilst there is one for Wales, it lists it as a “lunch break in Wales before heading back to London”.

What I want to know is whether there is a trip that specifically goes to Cardiff, Wales?

I’m looking at all the options while on the tour, and I’m curious which ones are best. Did anyone do the ghost train show? I’m wondering if that’s a good show…or not worth seeing? Any advice will be helpful!! Smiler

In order to be able to go on this trip, I need my parents to help pay for some of it. With this being said, that gives them a big say in whether I go or not. My mom is having some big issues with the idea of me traveling alone and just general safety issues with traveling in Europe. Can anyone provide me with some facts to tell my mom that would make her feel more comfortable with the safety of contiki? Any help is much apreciated

Going on the European Inspiration tour in July and have questions on two quick subjects:

1) Money- I’ll be taking some cash, a credit card, maybe traveler’s checks. But what do you think of debit cards? Is there a specific debit card that would be readily accepted in Europe? What about the Visa debit?

2)I’m thinking about the pros cons of taking my cell phone. I don’t think I really need it, and will probably get an international calling card. But what are other people doing, or have most people done on their trips?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hey guys,
So my tour is leaving in 23 beautifully long days… and I had a quick question about bottled water.

A friend of mine had gone to Europe last year, just a few countries… and he said the bottled water is hard to get used to, as it’s almost as if it’s carbonated. He said he drank mostly Coke for this reason. I definitely don’t want to be drinking Coke for the month I’m over there! lol

So… how’s the water in Europe? Smiler

Hey everyone,

Planning on taking one of the European tours this summer 2010 and was interested in seeing if anyone else out there is interested?
Also looking for some advice on the Horizons vs. Magic tour because those are the two that really appealed to me. Looking forward to hearing back from some people.

Ok, I am heading on my first trip to Great Britain in May.

There is so much information on here I feel like my head is spinning and am gathering lots of information, but it is hard to focus.

I have a few quesitons:

1. On this trip in particular, I am going to take a larger rolling suitcase for the majority of my items.

But I am confused becuase I am reading that on tours, you should take a backpack or something that is mobile for when going to the different countries—Are we going to hotels first and can drop off our stuff or do we have to take our smaller bags on our day tours when we get off the bus? In that case, I need to buy a backpack.

Also, can i take a purse and a day bag?

2. Do people usually ship their souveniers home instead of packing them?? Do you pay taxes on your items in GB??

3. What happens when going through customs?

4. HAs anyone been to GB in May? What is the weather like?, What is the most important lesson you learned? And what is the best piece of advice you can offer?

THANKS!!!!
