I was just looking through my optionals list the other day and trying to decide on which ones to do.

I'd like to do the Moulin more than the Nouvelle Eve, so if there are other people on my tour who want to do the Moulin as well I'm hoping we all organise and go as a group while the rest of the tour goes to Nouvelle.

I'm thinking I'm going to do the Parisian Dinner, Gondola Ride, MAYBE the Flamenco evening, definitely getting the souvenir tour group hoto, defintiely the guided imperial tour, possibly the Pompeii tour, the tshirt in Corfu, Dinner and Greek dancing, watersports in Corfu for sure and the Athens Plaka meal for sure. Everything else is not on my agenda because they either don't interest me, I've heard from others that they're not worth doing, I don't want to spend my money on them or they're just not my cup of tea.

definitely want to do the Moulin Rouge instead of the Nouvelle Eve as well. Which tour date are you on?

I think i will be definitely doing all the one you mentioned as well as George's boat ride. I have also heard from friends that went last year that some of the others were not worth it and you were better off doing your own thing.

I also am doing the Greek Island hoping and am thinking of the Tour of Mykonos by night, volcano day trip and possible the caique boat cruise.

I have budgeted to do them all though just in case something looks good while i am over here

I am doing the London to Athens from Paril 26-May 16, and not doing the Greek Island hopping after.

I just talked to a workmate today who just got back from the Winter Wanderer and they did a lot of the same optionals as we're about to do and she said the Flamenco dinner wasn't that great, so I'm considering dropping that from my list, but I won't decide until I get there and hear more about it from the TM and other people and really, just wait to see what I want to do when the time comes.

But if I do do the Flamenco evening, I added it all up and my optionals come to 233.50 Euro, which is way less than my other friend who did Contiki told me to budget for, so I'm happy! Smiler
