Isujim: Glad your tour is a go and now you can get onto the planning part of it. Having been on 8 Trafalgar Tours I can assure you that with included and optional dinners there will not be many if any nites left on your own . The best way to plan ahead for this is to go to your tour itinerary see which nites have dinners included: go to the optionals and find which evenings have optional dinners offered. You'll find that there may or may not be any free eveings if you choose the optional dinners.The price of the optional dinners are listed so you'll know in advance the cost.It's important to have a mind set as to whether you'll be taking the dinner options as on the first or second day of your tour you'll be asked to choose the options and sign for the cost. The optional dinners need a certain number of signups to go forward. Thus the pre-signup. Having some idea in advance of optional choices before going on the tour is a good idea. Hope this helps..

Thanks Purvis for the info........are you saying go to the website for our tour and click on optionals?? Is that where you will find out which evenings have optional dinners????? Sorry if that is a silly question......I'm just not sure where to find that information. We are spending New Years with the couple we are going with and hope to plan out (Sorry Bob  just kidding, I can't help it) a lot of things like this.......I'm just not sure where to find the optionals, but I think they are on the optional link for the European Whirl.Thanks to all for helping this newbie out.

Oh.....one other question comes to mind.....for those that have taken optional dinners as part of their tour......ARE THEY GOOD??
One of the reasons I ask is the couple we are going with really likes GOOD food........I'm not all that picky......but they really like good food.Jim |

Isujim ~ Let me just say at the outset that I wish I had someone like you doing research for us when we were newbies.
Apart from all the valuable advice you have been given, the thing that perhaps you may also need to be aware of is that your tour is a fast paced one & touring is not a relaxing holiday. Having said that, obviously I really enjoy tours & find them great fun or I would not have taken so many tours  My point is that on some nights where there is no included dinner & if the optional offered is not something we are desperate to do, we will have larger than usual lunch (mostly we just snack at lunch time) & then just have a snack in our room, or coffee & cake in the hotel coffee shop, for dinner & have an early night.We find it a great way to pace ourselves through the tour. Although I admit it doesn't happen often as I usually really like the dinner options & mostly they are a great fun way to get to know other tour members  Live each day....instead of counting the years. |

Yes Click on the 'Optionals' tab at the top of your tour page & it will list all the optionals that you may be offered. **Remember that you will only be offered a selelction of the listed optionals** Live each day....instead of counting the years. |

I would have thought, by now, that was obvious.  "There is only one sucess--- To be able to spend your life in your own way." Morley |

Ok I just checked our "optionals" there are 4 additional dinners listed as optionals right now......so with the 5 dinners already scheduled it looks like 9 of the 15 nights has either dinner or a dinner or a dinner optional.
Thanks again for heading me in the right direction. |
