do you help out with visa invitation letter and itinerary? because as an African getting a visa for europe is a pain, I am looking forward to getting your feedback and booking.

As an adventure booking platform, TourRadar is not a Visa authority. Visa requirements vary from traveller to traveller. Contiki can assist by supplying documents such as the tour itinerary and hotel lists to support your application.

Im looking for a trip to London, France, Spain, and Italy for June 2025 or July 2025, but my kids one is 6 and the other one is 13 years old.

We appreciate your interest in joining one of our tours. However, I regret to inform you that Contiki tours have an age restriction policy, and guests should be between 18 and 35 years old to be eligible for the trip.

I would like to know more details about internal transportation, for example... Rome to Venice. I mean, with part of the journey requires book a flight?

As per checking, an internal flight is not needed for this trip as you will travel by land using a motorcoach bus.

My husband and I are looking at this tour but I'm concerned about the accommodations. We really don't want to be sleeping separately for 18 days! Are there accommodations where we can stay together?

Since this trip includes hostel stays, we wouldn't be able to get you and your husband a private room for this tour. But we do have other tours that would work for you! Check out our London to Rome Wanderer trip, this one will allow the two of you to room together!

Just completed quest to London with Greg and Jaoa. Exceeded expectations and more. Greg is not only an amazing person but boy does he take pride in his work and ensures all aboard that pink bus have the best time. He is super organised so there is nothing I had to worry about. Could recommend Greg and contiki enough. Great company and great value for money :)

I spent so long looking into doing a coach trip like this and I'm so glad I decided to travel with contiki. It was an absolutely incredible experience with Greg our tour manager and Joao our bus driver definitely making it worth while. Would 100% recommend to others for a fast paced but amazing trip around Europe while visiting so many iconic destinations.
