Is there a way to help with staying in 3-4 stars hotels instead of hostal?

The tour accommodations are fixed and can't be selected by the traveler. All accommodations have been vetted and determined by the travel style. Contiki's trips are tailored to 18 to 35-year-olds.

We are highly interested in this tour package but wanted more details as to which hotels/hostels are offered and if the two of us would have private accommodations or shared rooms

This is an iconic essential travel style which means that this will be at Hostels & Special Stays in multi-share accommodation and up to 6 guests of same gender in the room.

Remi was absolutely amazing and did a phenomenal job! He ensured that everyone was taken care of at all times. Some of the accommodations were quite dirty, but majority were good. Unfortunately, the add-on meals were often below average. It was disappointing to pay such a high price for cold and overcooked food. I would recommend to go out and find your own restaurants to save money and eat better. Overall the trip was a lot of fun!!Show more

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.
