I just did the European Inspiration. I partook in almost every excursion, and it cost me about $30 US total.

They were all worth it, especially whitewater rafting in Austria, going up the mountain in Switzerland, the bike tour in Munich, and the Moulin Rouge. If you really don't like to drink and hate partying, don't do the nighttime "I Spy Berlin" tour (it's basically a pub crawl with a little 20-minute history lesson).

Hi I would do Moulin Rouge it is a bit pricy but worth it, the whitewater rafting is great and the as said before the mountains in Switzerland.

at the end of the day you make the trek to Europe saved your ass off (or begged and borrowed) why wouldn't you do them all???
i did EVERY since optional extra cos the chance i would be that country on contiki to do that optional extra again just wasn't going to happen. plus at the end of the day at least you can say 'yeah i did that and it was fab or bust'
How heart broken would you be if everyone comes back and tells you how great something was and you weren't there???
btw i loved everything i did, maybe the only thing i was disappointed with the white water rafting and thats only cos our day out the water wasn't that rough on the water, which would have made for a more nail biting experience but the views on the river are out of this world and i would have been so upset if i missed it
