    Asked on August 17th, 2023

    Is the transportation between countries provided, or would I have to book that separately? I know I have to book the flights to London and from Barcelona myself. I'm talking about the travel between England and France, for example.

      Traveler•Written August 2023

      Since the first day of the tour is nothing but traveling, can I join the tour in Paris, instead of starting in London?

    • ContikiOperator•Written August 2023

      If youre looking to meet up with the group in Paris, youd need to be at the starting hotel at 18:00. Please note, the price of the trip will be the same.

    Frank

    Asked on June 18th, 2023

    I am a 21 year old female travelling on my own, would this be a good tour for me? How many people are in the group? I am travelling with medication that needs to be kept refrigerated, could this be accommodated within the hostels and hotel? Would I be able to access a freezer for cold packs? Also, I am waiting on confirmation regarding dates, would I be able to hold a spot for 24/48 hours?
