Looking forward to hearing from prospective travel mates!

Hey there!
Good to hear there's someone thinking of going on this tour. Am still deciding between this one and the berlin to budapest one departing on the same day. A bit worried that this one may not go due to lack of popular demand. So if anyone else is thinking of going, post a message so that we can get an idea of how many people have booked.
Hope I hear from someone soon!

Hi there,

This tour is guaranteed for departureSmiler
From what I understand, not all travelers utilize this posting site, so you can't use the "no response" as a true gauge. If you're concerned, I would talk with a Tour Sales Rep and see if he/she can tell you the capacity thus far.

Hope to hear from you more!

Hi there.
Great news that we have guaranteed departure! Am really looking forward to it... So, hello fellow tour mate! seems like we'll be meeting up in a couple of weeks. When are you getting in to rome? I'll probably land sometime the morning of the 21st. I'm 26, from south africa by the way.

Hi everyone! My name is Clare, from Melbourne, just turned 25 and this is my first time travelling to Europe/UK. I'm very excited but at the same time very nervous as I'm doing it alone hence why I decided to join this tour (safety in numbers right?Smiler). I'm arriving in London on the 14th of October and doing a good week of backpacking around the U.K before the tour, then another 2 months of Europe after the tour. Can't wait to meet everyone and hopefully we can all catch up beforehand!

HI there!
So glad to meet another tour mate. I'm sure we are going to have an awesome trip. When are you getting in to rome? I'm sooooo jealous that you're going to be staying on for another 2 months. But we'll just have to make the 2 weeks on this tour memorable enough for the rest of us that need to head back home!!
Hope to hear from everyone again before the trip....

Hi chandler (and friend)
Not sure how many of us are booked on the tour. There are still places available, but hopefully they will fill up soon. I count at least 6 of us so far... Hopefully other people will start messaging soon! When are you getting in to rome?

Hey Merryn,

I believe we are getting to Rome on October 20 (the day the tour starts)....I'll have to ask my friend since he is the one who took care of the flight plans.

Merryn,

We are getting to Rome around 2 o'clock in the afternoon....we would love to get up before the tour....what time and where do we meet everyone for the tour that day? where would you like to meet? Sorry, as you can see I am very unprepared for this trip as I just signed up a couple days ago (which was heavily influenced by my friend who is organizing everything). I am looking forward to the experience since I have never really left the US! Let me know what your plans are.

Hey there.
Will be getting in to rome a bit before you. Should land around 11.30. I think the tour officially starts at 6pm at the hotel. The hotel may be a good place to meet up, as it may be easier to leave our luggage there while we go check out the city and have some gelato (icecream makes me happy!) Will have to check on flight times a bit closer to the tour, but would be good to meet up when we all get there. Enjoy all the last minute planning! I still have exams to get through before I leave...!Will chat again...

I arrive to Rome from San Francisco at 7:45am. Anyone arriving early like me?

I plan to meet up with a couple of friends at St. Peter's Square for Noon.

Looking forward to meeting up with everyone at 6pm.
