Is anybody going to Spain, France, Monaco & Italy in October? This is my first time to Europe and first Contiki Tour. 

Hi there, Im booked on the Sept 29 tour. 1st time on Contiki, realy looking forward to it, should be a great time.

I am planning on going with two other girls, should be a great time! Get more people to sign up and lets get this trip confirmed!!!

Hi! I just booked my trip for Sept 29-Oct 11... anyone planning on staying a few extra days in rome after the tour?

Buenos dias/bonjour/ciao (in that order),

First timer here as well, both to Contiki and to Europe. I'm booked and confirmed...looking forward to meeting everyone!

Is anyone interested in going to a soccer game? Our best opportunity will probably be Fiorentino vs Juventus on Oct 7 (Day 10) in Florence.

I would probably be interested in the soccer game.. do you know how much the ticekts are running for?

Hi Natasha!

Tickets are probably not that expensive - maybe 30 or 40 euros...but the problem is that in Italy you can't get tickets at the gate, you have to go to a ticket agent and we might not have a lot of time. However, there is also a game in Madrid on Sept 30 and tickets are available at the gate. Would you (or anyone else) be interested in going to that one instead?

I guess we could go for whatever is easiest. I'd love to see a soccer game... but am wondering if it's safe to go!!!

I asked the same question - even though it would be fun to be a part of an authentic European soccer riot, apparently it's safer in Spain than Italy. http://connect.contiki.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/496105522/m/467105423

Just wear blue and white (I think those are the colours of home team Atletico Madrid) and we'll be fine!

See you in 25 days...

Hi Natasha and Matt,

I'm also intersted in catching a soccer game, while in spain, sounds like it would be great to see.
Not long to go now
See you all there
Natalie

Spain it is then!! I'll be sure to pack some blue and white..
On another note.. is anyone arriving in madrid early??
See all of you soon!

I'm arriving early, into madrid on the 27th and staying at the hotel that the tour starts from. I have a part day trip on the 28th. Are you in early and where are you staying?
Not long now cant wait. See you all soon!!!!

Unfortunately I'm not in early! If I can go Toronto-->Amsterdam-->Madrid without any problems or delays I should arrive at 12:30pm on the 29th. See you soon!

This is my second contiki tour! They are so much fun. Is anyone travelling from Canada?

Hi Angela - I'm from Toronto, flying KLM to Madrid via Amesterdam, leaving at something like 6pm on the 28th.
