Contiki Tours

[gbear]

Has anyone been on one and if yes, where did you go and what was it like?
I am thinking of going on one next year to Britain and want to know what the tours are like.

I'm going on one in December in Europe - but everyone I've spoken to says it's awesome.

Are you going on your own or with someone else?

I am looking to go to Europe for 18 days in july next year. The Great Britain and South Ireland tour looks good as well.

I've never been on one myself but I do know a few friends who have and have totally loved it. And gone on more than one.

Oh goody, another chance to plug my sadly-out-of-date-and-poorly-constructed web pages:

I did a 17-day Contiki tour as part of a 2-month stint in Europe. I thoroughly recommend the experience. Look for the tour photos on my web pages.

Thanks for that link, the page wasn't too bad

I am thinking of going on the European Impressions tour and then spending a few days in London before returning to Australia.

IMHO you are much better off doing it independently with a Eurail ticket or even booking a tour once you are in Europe.

I did a coach tour from Denmark and it worked out to be sooo much cheaper, though I didn't understand a word from the tour guide!

Con-shaggy tour are great fun, but it's always good to explore different places on your own as well. IMO, if you only do a Contiki tour as your overseas experience you may as well go to the local pub/nightclub get smashed and watch a travel show.
