Hello, I am Abe from Southern California. I am doing the August 18-31 Eastern Road. I am spending an extra night in Berlin and then flying from Berlin to Istanbul on Sept. 1 and then doing the Turkish Delight tour.. I have done contiki before and they are awesome.. It would be great to get to know peeps beforehand that are doing these dates. Send me an email anytime; I love meeting new people from all over the world and I love to have a good time so I am looking forward to this! My email is hammylora@yahoo.com

I am debating on this tour too. However, as an american I am a bit worried about going to Turkey. Do you know if it's going to be safe?

Hi Abe! Also booked myself on Aug 30-sept 6 tour. Staying a couple days in Istanbul after tour. Coming from Miami Beach, Florida. First time traveling with Contiki. Looking forward to a great trip!
