I've been waiting for the dates to be released forever lol. But we are looking for a guaranteed date so i think we are going to book it for may 29. But we are not going to book till January, do you think that's too late?
Hey Nikki_88 april is really early are u in school right now? I'm also excited about this trip! Did u book through contiki or you local travel agency?
oh wow, well i'm on the other side of the world.. in australia - gold coast. i'm not planning on booking til probably dec or jan tooo...have to make sure i can actually save enough ahhh. so hopefully it isn't too late to book!! you would think not still being like 6 months in advance???? well hopefully?? hah are yous doing any other travelling before or after?
Im from newcastle in australia and ill be 21 when i go, april just seemed like to right time for me to go and get away i booked thru my travel agent....im thinking to go back to london after the tour and maybe work or just hang out for a while havent decided yet....
yea i'm hoping to save up enough money by then too.
i want to come to london a couple of days before the tour cuz we dont get to spend that much time there. Oh and i might (if i have enough money) go to a few other place in europe like switzerland, sweden, and norway. Okay wow i'm getting a bit ahead of myself
has anyone bought the new 2009 contiki europe broucher?? i dont even know if its out yet
i hope more people who are planning on going come on here
yeah i'll definitely go to london a few days before too! and hopefully some more travelling after.. ahhh im a bit like u.. i want to go EVERYWHERE!!! its going to be so great!
i haven't gotten the new brochure yet.. i ordered one online ages ago but it still hasnt come
yeahhhhhhh i hope more people come on here too!!! its so good to be able to talk to people before hand.. im bit scared specially going by myself!!!

I was thinking of doing the 46 day camping trip but my sister kind of brought to my attention that i have a bad back and after 2 weeks camping i tend to whinge abit... soooo with this in mind i have now changed my plans so as I will be doing the London to Athens then having a couple of days break in greece before touring back to london with the 25 day camping group. Thinking around August - Sept though so maybe a little late for you guys... but anyway, what do you think of the idea? I want to run it by someone who isn't the travel agent trying to get commission, and not family cuz they aren't really interest and therefore not that helpful. I'll be almost 20 on the trip, have my 20th in London hopefully! From the sunny coast way in QLD. Any suggestions would be awesome! And if you wanna do the same thing even better! I hate the idea of being a solo traveller and not knowing anyone... but I'm soo excited none the less!
To anyone who has booked this one, how much are you planning to take in spening money? I really want to do the London to Athens with Greek Island Hopping on April 29, but flights + tour is $7,500 so I need a rough idea of spending money for the last few months saving!! Thanks!!
I just booked the London to Athens tour which starts on April 26 today! SO I'm definite for that one...anyone else?
I have heard that $50 Australian is good per day on the tours, but this info may be old (I've been researching doing Contiki for years!) or may plain just be not enough. Maybe $100 a day Australian?
