Is anyone interested in booking for the Louvre online? I've heard a lot of people missed out because the lines in July to get in are huuuuuuuge. (apparently the scene from eurotrip movie with the queue out front of the louvre is for real that long!!! lol)

I have looked up a few websites and im finding pretty cheap tickets that will allow us to enter without having to queue up to purchase tickets at the door Smiler

let me know if anyone else is interested in doing this for our free day in Paris on Sunday 19th July. After all, the only optional in paris is the nouvelle eve dinner and show and that wont be till night time.

ps. if anyone is looking for a guided tour of the Louvre with no waiting time on lines at all, check out this website:

http://www.viator.com/tours/Pa...PA?pref=02&aid=g1950

tour leaves at 9.15am and goes for approx 2 hours. anyone wanna book in for the sunday one? I'd love to have someone to go with Smiler

there are also regular entry tickets available without a tour for a much better price here:

http://www.ticketnet.fr/shop/e...LOUVRE&idtier=138989

cheers Alex.


My sister and I would so be in for the tour.. do we have to book as a group or can we book our own tickets??

Which one are you doing the tour or not the tour??

Hi Everyone,

My name is Heather and my sister is Gillian. We are 22 and 20 from Ontario Canada. I can't wait till the trip sooo soonSmiler Does anyone know does contiki get us at the airport or do we have to make our way to the Contiki basement. We leave Toronto Canada on July 16th and arrive on the 17th at 8:55am in London. Is anyone else Canadian??

Also, how much money is everyone bringing?? Our booking agent told us about $50 dollars so $100 euros a day we should budget for.

Does anyone have advice for adaptors for example hair straighteners. I heard some are not good to use in Europe.

And last question for girls are you brining alot of skirts and dresses or doing the tourist thing and bringing shorts.

Thanks so much I am so excited Smiler

Heather Big Grin

Hey Heather,

I see you are on our facebook group now (yah!) but thought id answer your questions. Ive got european adapters and thats all i need, im not sure if u need a converter for canadian straightners has something to do with the voltage.

Im bringing heaps of skirts and dresses, got 3 pairs of shorts packed too.

the louvre tour a lot of us pre-booked online seperately for. contiki doesn't offer one, otherwise you can line up and do it yourself or line up then do a tour once inside. we skip the lines with this tour Smiler

I think 100 euro a day would be ok. but $50 in canada is $100 euros? No way the AUD conversion rate sucks!! $100 AUD we get $50 euro!!

And you make your own way to contiki basement/to your hotel.
