Rhi was the BEST TM! I wish I could write how amazing, welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun she was but I’d run out of words. Every question was answered, jokes were made, advice was given. This was my first trip with Contiki and will be the reason why I book more trips through Contiki. If she could be my TM FOR EVERY TRIP I WOULD SCREAM FROM HAPPINESSShow more

Elle was absolutely incredible!!!! She gave me the confidence to meet people, make more friends, and travel more!! She was the best tour guide I have ever had! She provided good historical, political, and nature information. Her recommendations for restaurants, activities, bars, were good and she organized additional night activities for the whole group (restaurants, bars, hikes, night markets). She made a huge positive impact on my overall experience.Show more
