Hey Lynette :-) My name is Narelle. I'm 23 years old and have just booked the same tour for the same dates through my travel agent. I too am very excited and have not done a contiki tour before and as i will be comming on my own it would be great to get to know some people before i get there!!! Razzer

Hey, I'm also checking out this tour, I'm torn between the European Vista and this tour for these exact same dates. I am also looking at doing the tour on my own. What swayed you guys to pick this specific tour?

Heya...i chose this one for a couple oif reasons...mostly because it covers most of the stuff i want to see but also because of the money side of things seeing as i will also be doing the Egypt and Nile tour straight after...Narelle.

You can add two more to this tour. My wife and I are flying from Canada to London on August 7th, in order to join the tour in London on August 11th. I'm interested in this tour because I've never actually been to Europe. I fully believe that this is the best of the options available to suit both of our needs. It will actually be a great way to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary on August 15th. My wife will be 33 and I'll be 32. However, don't let the age fool you. We'll do our best to keep up with everyone Smiler

me and my friend choose this tour because it covers the main cities in central europe! and its very cost effective! also choose it because i had such an amazing experience on my first contiki! and I'm sure this one will be just as good as the first maybe even better! I made really good friends on my first one and as a result I am meeting up with a few piror to the departure of this trip! so diffintely looking forward!

I'm either going on this tour or the 28th. Will be in England from 16th July, staying with Fam in Newcastle and going up to see Scotland.

Hello everyone,
(thanks Shane for re-directing me to this topic). My name is Amanda and my boyfriend and I, along with two other guy friends are booked for this tour. This is our first contiki tour in celebration of our 21st birthdays! We are also staying an extra 2 days in London, however we are doing this at the end of the tour. We decided on this tour because it goes to all the places we wanted to see (originally we were looking at the European Inspiration, which is basically the same thing but a superior tour). This way we save money and see everything!

You're welcome, Amanda.

So you're all celebrating your 21st birthdays? Wow, I vaguely recall those days.....

Anyhow, it's great to see that people are interested in the tour. My wife and I have debated going to Europe for years, and now we're approaching the upper age level for the Contiki tour. We're not over the hill, but we can see the top of the hill from where we are. Big Grin

Hi guys!

I’m part of a group of 5 that will be joining you on the Whirl! I’ve started a Facebook group for all that wish to join. Just thought it would be a good way to swap photos etc... Might seem that I’m pretty keen but I really don’t have much going on at work, apart from counting down the days!
