LorneB-

Any advice/tips? What were the hotels like? I've only had one other person able to give me a sort of "review" on this tour, it would be great to hear more!

On this particular tour there were alot of couples. If I could do it again I would have brought my sister or a friend. The hotel in Amsterdam was just OK, but they had a good breakfast. The hotel in Switzerland is a dump, but it's only for one night, and you probably be out drinking that night, so it's realyy only for a few hours. The best hotels were in Barcelona and Chamonix. My advice to you is go out every other night, not every night. You will enjoy your free days more if you are sober and not hung over. Do some research on the sites you want to see. Ex. study up on the museums in Paris. When you take the cable car ride up the mountain in Chamonix, where a sweater and long pants, maybe even a jacket. It's -5 at the top. I took all of the optionl excursions accept for the caberet and they were all worth it. If you need more help e-mail me or PM me, you can also see my reviews in the review section.

Awesome Stuff LorneB. Thanks

Just paid my deposit on the tour leaving 10th August (can't wait). Spending a few nights extra in Amsterdam and Barcelona. Would be great to meet others going on the tour before it leaves though.

Pirate Tara - see you leaving on the 5th July - Enjoy! and give us some good tips if you can as well.

Thanks Lorne Red Face) Gosh, I don't mean to be rude, but I really hope my tour isn't filled with couples. I'm just not one for having to watch people hang all over each other all the time...

Prashant...thanks to you as well! And don't worry, after I get back, as soon as I have a chance, I will be writing reviews as many places as possible, because this tour NEEDS to be reviewed more often!
