Hi, I’m going on the London with Paris ext. I’ve been reading a Rick Steve’s travel book and he mentions that most hotel rooms in Europe don’t have tv.
I’m getting my own single room at the Imperial in London and Timotel in Paris. I’m wondering if there will be a tv in my room. Not that I plan to watch tv all through my vacation, but it’s nice when I have jet lag and can’t sleep.
Is it likely that there will be a tv in my room?
Thanks

Hi guys quick question. This will be my second time to Europe. The first time I went, I wanted to buy a Hugo Boss Leather Jacket on the Champs-Elysse but didnt have enough cash. Heres my question: Are designer brands (Hugo Boss, Gucci, Versace, Prada, etc.) products more expensive in Europe to buy or more expensive here in the U.S.? Like the jacket was around $1000 there (American if I remember correctly). I am asking because of the exchange rate. Is it cheaper to just buy products here (like on Rodeo Dr in Beverly Hills) or in France, Italy, etc. Just for reference I am doing the European Vista trip that starts on July 19th. Thanks for the help guys. I appreciate it.

I am aware that there are various discounts on tour. For example if you book as a group… you will receive a group discount. And if you book and pay for the tour in full 6 months before your departure date… you will receive a discount.
In the brochure… on pg 18 it states that there is also a discount if you pay 4 months in advance before your departure date.
Is this true??? I am asking this because my travel agent said that it only applied for if you paid 6 months in advance
Please advise me on this.
Thank you

Hey,
I will be in London for a year, and i’m looking for a trip to occupy me over some of the winter break.
Im not big on snow, and freezing temperatures, so the ski-ing trips are out!
I was just wondering if anyone has been on the Spanish Spree in Winter? The trip sounds awesome, but i’ve only seen opinions from people who have been in summer.
Any advice on this, or any other possible winter trips would be great! Thanks

Maybe you are moving/just moved to Christchurch, or maybe you are just wanting to make some new friends?
I am 30 years old, just seeing if there are any other females or couples out there that just want a friend to chat with, go for a cuppa, walking, dinner, movies ya know just hang out!
I work at a real estate company in administration.
fave music – 80’s, Madonna, U2, Crowded House, (kiwi sounds) Jack Johnson, dance…lots of music actually!! I enjoy watching rugby, movies, going out for coffee or a wine/beer!
Lived in Canada for a year, (went on a roadtrip in USA for 4 weeks),
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!
(also I have a furnished room for rent in my home, short-term preferred minimum of one weeks stay).

I’m an Auzzie but my dad is born in the U.K so that means I’m eligible to get a British passport.
I’m doing the UE + Egypt next year so i will be going to Egypt and Turkey which are not in Europe so my question is should i bother getting a British passport as well as my Auzzie one?
I’ve been told its much easier to get around in Europe with a British one but then others have told me it makes no difference.

Can someone who has been on a Contiki Australia tour (at least 10 days) share with us what they think would be enough to bring to Oz for spending money. I know its hard to say since it depends on the person’s spending habits, but, i know i would be looking to do a lot of optional activities and probably will be going out every night. I also will probably buy a few souvenirs. Is there a bare minimum you should definitely bring?

Hello Everyone.
This tour does not appear to be very popular.
My Eastern Discovery tour on September 29 has been cancelled (by email) less than a week after the early booking discount closed. I paid in FULL a month ago. I have committments at either end of my tour I cannot “reschedule”.
Maybe I was the only one booked on the tour!
I would suggest that you wait until close to the time of departure before booking and paying your hard earned money for a tour that may be cancelled at a whim.
I have train tickets and plane tickets which are now worthless. Contiki wont reimburse you for costs incurred for booking on a tour THEY CANCELLED.
Please check with contiki to confirm that your tour is not cancelled.
Ciao

So, I’m hoping to take advantage of my December break from school, and save a few hundred dollars and not have to fight the mobs of people during the summer and go to Italy. I’m thinking of the one for spending new years Eve over there or going earlier in December. I am worried about exactly how much I’m going to actually enjoy the trip due to the weather. Has anyone ever gone to Italy during the winter, is it really that cold. does it rain a lot? Can you enjoy Venice? or does just being there make you forget about the weather? Or should i just wait for spring break again? i need some useful advice. anything will help. thanks.

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?
10th May 2012
Has anyone been on the Mykonos and Island Cruising tour? I would love to hear some reviews on it. Thanks!
