I had the most amazing trip with Contiki, I love to travel and I am so bummed I haven't been doing it with Contiki the last 4 years. Our tour guide, Flor, was amazing. She was knowledgeable and having someone who could arrange everything for us, tell us the history of where we're going. The transportation was awesome to have included and our group was literally so much fun. I wish I could have spent more than 8 days with them because it was a truly family atmosphere after. We were able to have a house party where they cooked a home cooked Brazillian meal for us and had surprise Samba dancers! I got to see so many more attractions going with Contiki than I've ever seen on my own. I just wont do it any other way again....until I'm married.Show more
