This was my first Contiki trip and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. We traveled through 7 countries and saw so many bucket list places. The entire trip was so incredibly organised, and Emily was so knowledgeable, I truly learnt something every day from her. She made our trip so memorable and packed full of fun every day.

The trip was the first time I had done solo traveling but our group was incredibly positive and warm, starting with our trip manager Emily.
Emily did a wonderful job handling the complex logistics of such a jam-packed tour and at the same time set a positive, open tone for our group. She demonstrated significant knowledge of the places we visited and was not afraid to share her perspective
Seeing so much over the course of 9 days while meeting amazing friends - certainly glad to have to been part of this trip!

When venturing to 7 countries in 9 days time was very limited; however, our tour guide (Emily McGuire) excelled in choosing activities that best represented each countries culture, as well as activities that made the trip more magical and memorable for everyone. Contiki not only allowed me to obtain a real taste and love of every country in Europe, but it also allowed me to make new friends from all over the world, which I believe may have been the best part! I highly recommend this trip to anyone seeking to travel to new places and make life lasting memories!

She really put the magic in European Magic and I can’t thank her enough. She is so good at your job, she was always so welcoming, communicative, warm, and engaging. She made 35 strangers instantly feel at home, and by the end of the trip, she had 35 new family members ready to give her a kidney if she ever needed it. I’m so happy that I had the privilege of meeting Emily and having her as my trip manager.

I was a solo traveler and was a bit nervous, I texted Em asking so many questions and she was so sweet and informative. She definitely made the trip what it was and I had the best time despite all of my worries. Emily was always there for us and is such an empathetic person. She got to know each of us on a deeper level and knew when we were even a little down and would always check in. I have been on many tours but have never had a tour guide like Em. The group considered Em as one of us but also respected her it was unbelievable. She would share her amazing experiences and get us exited for our next adventure. We all miss her so much.

I had a life threatening ordeal while in mykonos where i was hospitalised and emily stayed by my side the entire time and made sure i was okay which i am eternally grateful for and im not sure i would be alive if it wasn’t for her. I had other situations where events took a toll on my mental health and Emily constantly checked up on me and made sure that i was supported and everyone else had resources they needed. She really cares about us and makes an excellent guide

Her professionalism in dealing with large groups, organising events, and general day to day running of our trip was outstanding and without a single fault. She made us feel safe and in good hands. Her knowledge and experience of various countries and cultures really added to our enjoyment of the trip. Equally importantly she was not just a guide but also a friend during this adventure. She made everyone feel welcome and seen and always made sure we had smiles on our faces. I couldn't recommend her enough, best trip manager/guide I had ever had the pleasure to travel with!

I'm so glad I signed up to do all of the Free Time Add Ons, they allowed us to experience the best parts of every country in a short period of time.
Our guide, Emily, was fantastic, she answered all our questions, provided us with excellent restaurant, cafe, and sightseeing recommendations, even researched reputable places for us to get tattoos when we told her we wanted to get one. Her recommendations never disappointed.
The overall organisation of the trip was perfect, I loved not having to stress about anything except showing up on time.
The trip was amazing, and Emily and Luis were the biggest highlights!

The experience was made so much better by my trip manager Emily she gave great recommendations and advice on exploring/navigating each city we went to, each city we went to it would be like Emily went here so we've got to go, she encouraged me to attend plenty of FTAs that I initially wasn't keen on doing and she didn't make me regret it. By the end of the tour she was like a member of my family and I don't think I can do another tour if she's not my guide.

Some of the sights we saw were incredible, driving through so many countries in such a short amount of time. The people we met were amazing and I’m very keen to keep in touch with our group. I seriously did make lifelong friends in 9 days. Our CONNTIKKIII guide Emily was amazing, so organised and so fun and friendly. My partner and I were lucky enough to sit up the front of the bus next to her for the whole trip which we thoroughly enjoyed.
