Maria, glad to see another person on the trip, hope your ready for a good time. There are a few threads on here with the date of Aug 9th (It says the 9th because that's the date you fly out for the tour but it really doesn't leave London until the 11th) There is also a facebook group page set up for the tour. The link is on the Aug 9th thread. Where are you from?
Hello, Great to see someone who's on my trip. Now I understand why I could'nt see anyone with the same date as mine. Im from Melbourne Australia, 24 and travelling on my own and its my first time overseas.Feeling excited and scared at the same time. How about yourself? Where are you from?
Yea, if you join the facebook group I think you'll see something like 7 other people that have already signed up for the tour. I'll see if I can get the link and attach it on this thread for ya. Don't be scared though, so many people go alone (I think on average maybe half the people go alone) and from my experience as I went on the greek island hopping tour last summer, everybody is always really cool and really laid back. It's like showing up the first day and having 50 best friends already there for you so don't stress even for a second.
I just turned 27 and currenty live outside of Hartford CT USA.
Here is the name of the Facebook group page for our tour: Contiki ~ European Vista August 9th 2008
Thanks for the information Traveler. Can i ask what your name is? I have done a contiki in australia before and it was the best experience of my life and im sure this one will be too. Once i get on the bus my nerves will dissapear.I will try and get on facebook after work and meet the others. After the tour i will be flying to Athens to do the Greek Island hopping tour, Ive heard its great.How did you find it? Who are you traveling with?
Yea my name is Bradford. I am traveling with my friend Jared and then my friend Emilia who I met on last summers greek island hopping tour is doing it too with one of her friends. Yea your nerves will dissapear real quick I'm sure.
Lets just say I can't speak too highly of the Greek Island Hopping tour, it was unreal. It's really one huge party for the people who drink and if you don't there is still plenty to do. I had Nick Manning as my tour guide so if you get him you will be in for a good time. I am sooo jealous that you get to do it this summer. Unfortunately I only get three days of vacation (Holiday as you aussie's call it) so I decided to do this tour this summer.
That's great to hear that is was so good... now im even more excited. Hope i get the same tour guide. And yes i love to drink its my favourite pass time when im on holidays/vacation
