Hey Everyone..

i was just curious to why you picked the European Escapade??

i havent been on the tour yet but going in bout 7 weeks but wanted some feedback to people who have gone on the trip or havent been yet either, contiki has alot of tours to offer....

but just wonder what made your get all excited like me bout this one!!!


xoox i leave Aug 17th

I'm doing this tour on the 24 July and I picked it because among Paris, Rome (most tours go here) it also included Barcelona, Swiss Alps and Vienna and they're other places I would like to see. Not all tours had those 3 stop offs on the same tour.

It was also a very good value price and 25 days was aperfect amount of time to see Europe among my other travels.

It seemed to cater for everything I was looking for.

I'm booked in for the tour on July 18th.

I booked this tour because it goes to the major places I wanted to go (France, Spain, Italy) plus some places I'd like to go but probably wouldn't bother with if I was planning everything myself. Plus I think 25 days is a good length of time- not too short, not too long!

i picked it because most of the tours go to italy, france, germany, netherlands etc but this one also goes to spain!
however it misses prague which is a little disappointing!

and also yes its a good length of time! alot of people say a month is a perfect length.. any longer and u get sick of everyone but any shorter and u dont get enough time to bond with everyone and its too rushed or u dont see enough places for the price of the plane ticket to get all the way to europe in the first place!

Hey,

I just got back from this tour.
(So ask away all your many many questions, I'll be more than happy to help!)

I didn't actually pick it, I went with a friend and we narrowed it down according to how long we could take off work, and she REALLY wanted to see Spain, so this one fit perfectly.

I must say how happy I am that we did THIS specific tour. It was just long enough (although another day in Paris would've been awesome...) the best group of people.
It was seriously the best month of my life!

I hope you have a LOT of fun, because the escapade is an awesome awesome tour

Hi Lizz,

I have a million questions but I'll try keep to a few:

1: What were the people like on your tour? (traveling solo, age, relaxed)

2: Did you find the trip was to structured and how was the accommodation?

You sound like you had the best time!

Thanks

Hi Stazz,
Sorry its taken forever to reply, I've been a busy little bee over christmas and new years!

The people in my tour were the most amazing people from the most amazing backgrounds. I remember on the first day sitting with my mate, I decided we should get to know people, so I knelt on the seat, turned around, and just started chatting with the guy behind me. We ended up talking all the way from Calais to Paris, and we stayed close all tour. Most of the tour were in their 20s (I was the youngest girl at 19) we only had a few couples and everyone was relaxed the entire time!

This trip was structured perfectly from day dot. Just enough time everywhere (but Paris, I could have stayed there for months!) and the accomm was what you'd expect (as long as you dont expect 5 stars!!)

Have fun!!!
