It's probably a bit early, but I thought I would see if anyone else is booked for the final winter tour of the European Encounter.

yeah i'm looking at booking this tour in the next few days. Where are you from?

We are from Canada.
Calgary, Alberta.

Where are you from?

I'll be traveling with a mate, we are both from OZ, first time contiki travellers.

How many in your group? Have you been on a contiki tour before?

My brother and I are going. We also added the Check Out London 3 Day to the end of the tour! I can't wait! I look forward to meeting you all.

Hey guys. That's my sis, Heather, above. We are both so excited for our trip. We can't wait to meet you all and whomever else will be traveling with us. It's going to be so much fun!

My husband Lindsay & I are also first time travellers. We are really looking forward to our trip & meeting lots of new people.

Heather - where are you & your brother from?
I like your name btw...it's my name too!

can't wait to meet all of you!

Heather,

My brother and I are from California. I think it will be fun to have 2 Heather's on the trip. Double Trouble. LOL!

Hi Everyone,

Hey Sarah! I am so excited! Have you ever taken a Contiki Tour before?

Has anyone posting here been on a contiki tour before?

Packing tips would be great! I know I am going to have a hard time with that!

Hi Heather,

Hi Heather!

I, too, was in a quandry about this when I went on my trip last year.

You need to have a range from winter clothes (Switzerland/Austria/Germany) to t-shirts for Italy. Definitely bring a scarf. I had to buy one in Amsterdam b/c I wasn't prepared. Layers are good. For Space Electronic Disco, you can wear anything you'd wear to a club in the US (jeans/heels/dressy top). For the Moulin Rouge, definitely a dress or a fancy pants outfit. I, again, wasn't prepared and ended up having to buy a dress in London. You can wear jeans everyday.

Definitely bring comfortable shoes. In order to meet the weight limit, you'll have to wear a few pieces more than once. Hope this helps! Email me if you have any more questions!
