Hi,

Me and my friend Joey, both 21 and graduating from uni in england, are planning on doing the Winter Wanderer tour at some point in October, we were thinking either the 10th or 13th. just wanted to find out if anyone else was planning on going before we booked?

Let us know!

hey, im thinking of going sometime early in october, im 19 from australia, im working at a summer camp out of New York at the moment, and im flying to London at the start of October and i really want to do a tour

Hey there, yeh myself and my friend will be going in oct, unfortunately were looking at either the 20th or 27th. Were both from Sydney, Australia.

Hey, yeah I'm 25 from Aus, travelling solo for a bit and doing this tour on the 10th Oct.

Hello, I'm starting the tour on Oct 9, 2007. Leaving from Vancouver, BC, Canada

Does that mean you're doing the tour on the 10th? we are still undecided on whether to do the 10th or the 13th.

My friend and I are both 23, we are going on one of the first two, I think October 6 or 10...anyone else choosing this date??

It says the tour starts on Oct 8 and ends on Nov 2nd online...this is the tour I'm on anyway. I didn't know there was a tour on the 10th

Hey everyone,

Before I say anything, just want to be clear that I'm NOT going on the tour

However, I've travelled with Contiki and would be more than happy to share my experiences and share any advice or tips you'd like.

Tips on travel...hmmm. How can I pack a months worth of clothing into a small suitcase??

You should pack expecting to wear the same outfit more than once. You could also buy clothing during the tour, throw some clothing in your carry-on which also come in handy if your suitcase is lost.

Hope that helps,

Hey~ I'm going on either the Oct 8th or the 11th (1st or 2nd departure dates) - haven't yet decided which! Leaving from the US.

Hey Everyone,
I'm NOT going on your trip but i've travelled with Contiki and would like to offer some advice:
If you plan on taking a credit card to Europe, you may want to call your credit card company to let them know you'll be travelling so they don't think the card has been stolen and cut you off.

Another thing I recommend is carrying your cash in a money belt, I find it safer.

When you pack, throw some clothing into your carry-on to ligten the weight of the suitcase and in case your luggage gets lost. Leave room for souveneirs & carry with you an extra copy of your pasport and hotel address list.

In terms of weight of luggage, it's the airlines that are more strict than Contiki. Each airline has their own weight threshold & will only be too glad to charge you extra for going over. You can find out the limit/rules by going on the airline's website.


Feel free to ask me anything else.

Hi Lindsey, I think you're the first person I've found that might be on the Oct 8th tour. I'm actually arriving in London two nights prior to the start of the tour to do some sightseeing. Let me know if you decide on the 8th!

Hey Melissa~ I actually did decide on the Oct 8th tour - just booked my res this afternoon! Drop me an e-mail sometime.....
