Hi,

We are travelling to Italy on the June 25th trip. If you are doing the
same, please feel free to email us. We would like to get to know you.

Hi,
I am doing that trip as well.  Have you been on a contiki tour before?  This is my first time  and i'm looking forward to it.  I arrive on the 26th. It would be great to chat with you.

I am going on that same tour. I wil be traveling by myself...first time to Italy. Where do you live?

Hey,

I'm planning to go on the same tour, but i'm a bit confused. According to the itinerary, (depending on which tour you choose) the tour either starts on the 24th or the 26th of June, there is nothing in between, unless of course your counting from the day you arrive in Rome. If someone can explain this to me that would be great.

i think the tour itself starts on the 25th from what the travel agent has told me. But u meet the tour guide the night b4. Are most pp going on this tour alone or in a group?

Hello,
I am doing this tour as well! I am very excited!
How old is everyone? I am 21!
My entire family is Italian and I am pretty much the only one who has never been! lol
I will try to help translate lol..but do not count on it!

Hi

Nice to meet you. Im 23 and will be travelling with a friend the same age.

Hello DMB,

Do you know if the tour is pretty booked up yet? B/c its still available on the webiste
ARe you male or female?! lol I dont know fi thats a dumb question or not! lol

Are you doing anything before of after the tour?

Jacqueline

hey Jacqueline,

haha no not a dumb question. Im female and im coming with a gf of mine. Yeah i was wondering about that too..i think it looks like a popular tour so it should be filling up.Are u coming by urself? We are getting there 2 days before the tour starts and having a look around Rome and then after the tour heading to Athens. urself?

This is the tour that listed from 06/24 to 07/06 correct?

My fiance and I are going to be on this tour for our Honeymoon. We are super excited. It will be our first vacation over seas. We thought a guided tour would take the stress out of traveling by ourselves.

Any advice for newbies? I was looking at the checklist of items to bring: insect repellent, flashlight...do you think those two items are necessary for this trip? We're not camping one night are we? I'm sooo concerned that I wont be able to get everything in one little suitcase per person!

It would be nice to get to know some people on our tour before we get there.

Our tour for 06/24-07/06 has the "Guaranteed Departure" check mark by it! Yay!

Hi Linda,

I think thats a normal concern to have. Im not a light packer either lol. Nah, no way are we camping so I doubt u will need to bring a flashlight etc. Im travelling with my bestfriend. After the tour we are heading to Greece. Nice to meet ya

Sounds like a lot of people combine trips together and spend extra time before and after there tours...just from reading the msg boards anyway. I wish we could have done that. I mean...we're already in the vicinity! Unfortunately with the week off before the trip for our wedding plus the trip our jobs would have a cow if we were gone longer! We will make it back someday, our places to see seems to get bigger every year! Italy is a HUGE checkmark on our list though.

We have been reading quite a bit about Italy lately and there seems to be a big concern about the dress code to get into places, like to eat. I was hoping to just pack for comfort and casual with a couple nice outfits for going out at night. Now I'm starting to second guess that.

Anyway, Glad to meet everybody!
Linda

Hi Linda,

It really depends where the tour takes us but i went to Italy a year ago and didnt have any issues getting into any places.
