Hi All, at this stage I'm planning on doing the winter wanderer tour late next year and was wondering what people thought of it or if there is a better option? thanks!
Hi, i have just come back from a European Vista. I had an awesome time. The vista i went on was slightly different to the one contiki is advertising now. instead of Prague i went to Budapest in the tour. I did however go to Prague after and both were nice cities, worth the visit if you have the time. i also stayed 2 nights in munich and 1 in vienna but the current one is the other way around.
From what i can see the wanderer is much the same as the vista but you go to Barcelona and Berlin. I went to Barcelona after my contiki tour and it was good. didn't make it to Berlin but i think it would be a cool city. from what i can see it is a good tour. As long as you get 2 nights and one day, because you travel the others, in the big cities it will be a good tour. I think this tour would be better than the vista because you see a few more cities like Barcelona, Lyon and Berlin. It really depends if you have the time and little bit of extra money.
Thanks all i can really say. oh and winter will be great. i found that there was hardly any lines for the major sights and your traveling time on the bus is less. if done get caught in summer holiday traffic on the bus. I'm from Perth, Aus and the cold didn't bother me. Thats it i think. if you want to ask me anything else go ahead and I'll try and get back to you.
I just went on the winter wanderer tour and we actually stayed in rome for new years. it was super cool but everything is closed on new years day. oh and the new years eve dinner for 60 euro was a rip off. I will be posting a full review soon. email me brian@ultimateticketshop.com and I can answer anyones questions...
hi joanna, my names kristin im from nsw australia and i will be going on the winter wanderer at the end of this year 2008. I'm going with 3 other people and we're going on the dec 13- jan 5 one we will be spending christmas day in rome and new years eve in prague. Can't wait. to anyone out there with tips on what to take. It would be really useful. Thanks.
WINTER WANDERER IS THE BEST TOUR EVER!! i went last Nov/Dec and had the best time - the places we got to see were just amazing and the fact that we got 2 nights in almost every city we visited didnt make the trip so rushed. i highly reccommend it, cant give enough praise to contiki for such an awesum time
