Ok! So i didnt go on the contiki tour last year but i swear im going this year in decemeber probably 22nd or 27th depart, any1 else thinkin of going plz let me noe!

I will Be going on European inspirations departing 23 Dec, will be on my own! Cant wait : )

Hey Everyone,
I'm NOT going on your trip but i've travelled with Contiki and would like to offer some advice:
If you plan on taking a credit card to Europe, you may want to call your credit card company to let them know you'll be travelling so they don't think the card has been stolen and cut you off.

Another thing I recommend is carrying your cash in a money belt, I find it safer.

When you pack, throw some clothing into your carry-on to ligten the weight of the suitcase and in case your luggage gets lost. Leave room for souveneirs & carry with you an extra copy of your pasport and hotel address list.

In terms of weight of luggage, it's the airlines that are more strict than Contiki. Each airline has their own weight threshold & will only be too glad to charge you extra for going over. You can find out the limit/rules by going on the airline's website.


Feel free to ask me anything else.

Hey

I was thinking of going on the 27th Dec trip, wanted to spend christmas at home etc, but then get my butt over there and have an adventure! Are you still thinking of going?

Hey is anyone departing 27th december?

ummm theres a dec 28th dep, and im going on that one....

Hey all,

Just found out from my travel agent that the Simply Italy tour departing 27th December is now being cancelled.

As far as they can see the Departure of the 29th December tour is still going ahead!

Has anyone considered going before Christmas? A friend and i will be on the Simply Italy Dec 9th departure- fingers crossed it goes ahead. I wanted to be home for Christmas as well so i'm going beforehand- that way i can buy cute pressies over there. Is anyone else going on this tour?

I will be going through the UK and France (briefly) first, is anyone else coming from other parts of Europe or are you all flying into Rome? I'm counting down!

Hello

I am planning on getting away on the 28th. I need a change and I hope to meet some great new people. Who else is planning on going at that time?

Hi Steph,
I'm signed up for the Dec. 28 departure, and will be flying in from London a couple days early. Like Bernadette, I'm also counting it down.
