Hey I was just wondering if anyone knew a good amount of money to have saved if you wanted to travel on to the UK and across Europe after camp? At the moment I have $5000 saved. I want to travel around Europe and UK until around January. I have a couple of people to stay with in France and Germany but other than that I will have to pay my way. Im still not sure weither I should go on a tour around Europe or do it myself?? Ill proberly go for the cheaper option

Any answers would be great!

Thanks

Hi Campbell-Barry

A Contiki tour is actually your cheapest option. I did one last year in Europe for 10 days and I only payed $1300. Contiki have a 40 day tour which costs around $5000 and you see the full Europe

Ive had a look at those tours and they seem pretty good. But im looking at staying over in the UK and Europe for a much longer time. It will proberly be around 3-4 months. Hopefully I will be staying with people I know for one of these months.

So just kind of need to know a good amount of money I should have saved that would cover everything including going to different sight seeing places etc..

cheers

Hey there,

I did write a reply to this yesterday, not sure where it went! Not so much to do with money, but have you considered joining something like couchsurfers (http://couchsurfing.com), which might save you a bit on accommodation ...

Hope this is helpful :-)

That is really the fantastic Offer. From where you had got this Package????
