Hello, My name is Amy. I am 30 years old and I will be joining you on the italian expresso trip. I have never been to Europe and I'm super excited. I am leaving from Newark, NJ on April 17th. This is the second time traveling alone. Nothing like it. We are going to have a blast!

Hi...I'm flying from Vancouver. And I'm arriving at 5pm on the 17th too. My gf is arriving from HK and she is flying arriving on the 18th. did you guys know that the Vatican is not open on Sunday. so if the itenary states taht we are touring Rome on the sunday. We will completely miss the Vatican. So you may want to arrive a day early to visit it. I'm joining a seperate tour at 1pm from Viator. Its 3 hours long, and gives us plenty of time to meet up with contiki in the evening. Anyone interested?

Thanks for the tip! I'm getting to Rome on April 15th. So, I'll definitely make time for the Vatican on my own.

Also, the city bus tours are supposed to be amazing and dirt cheap!

Really. I did not know that the vatican is closed on sundays. Since the vatican website doesnt mention that as well. I arrive Rome on 17th around 2pm. I guess i would like to see a few places before the tour. And vatican as well. Not sure how its covered as well in the tour. May be seeing the spanish steps would be also nice. I am staying near Termini station for a night. Let me know the details about the vatican tour

Hello All,

I'm coming from New York with two other friends. We're really excited about the trip! I look forward to meeting all of you!

Oh, does anyone have the inside scoop on the nightlife in any of these spots?
