  The experience of this trip was utterly extraordinary. Ryan and Marcos made the trip an absolutely unforgettable experience. From the outset, Ryan made everyone so comfortable and that allowed strong bonds to form throughout the travel group. Overall the trip allowed myself to form genuine bonds with people from differing corners of the world, whilst also seeing the various beautiful landscapes and architecture that Europe has in multitudes.Show more

  Couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Rianna, she made sure everyone was all sorted out with any issues or problems they had, was happy to fill us in on the history of any cool looking buildings or monuments we went by, joined in on all our stupid jokes and as a cherry on top would make sure we all heard her ‘great’ joke of the day each morning.Show more

  The tour guides were nice. I felt we had such little time at places. The group became very divided on the trip and felt very uncomfortable. It felt like high school all over again. Not the ideal relaxing, exploring style vacation I had hoped for. I have gone on multiple tours with different companies. Contiki was by far the most disappointing in both food and the experiences. Very little comes included in the hefty price you pay. The included meals were at the hostels. These included meals were not cuisines from the region we were in, but rather bland styled pasta or easy cheap carbs. I felt like I wasted time on a vacation I could have planned myself for half the price.Show more

  Our Team appreciates hearing your thoughts on your recent trip with Contiki as this really helps us to get an insight into where we're going right and where potential improvements might be made. As such, while it's great to read that you enjoyed travelling in the company of your Trip Manager, we regret to read that some of the meals and Free Time Add-Ons may not have lived up to what you had been hoping for. We always aim to provide our travellers with experiences that will give them a taste of what the locals eat and enjoy, and so please be assured that your comments have been shared with our Operations Department for their consideration going forward, and, moreover, to ensure that we're continuing to offer our travelllers the Contiki experience they expect. Having said this, we hope you'll give us the chance to host you again some time so that we can restore your initial impression of our company.

  I loved my tour guide Rémi, he was very informative and answered all of our questions. If he didn’t know the answer, he’s do his research and would eventually get back to us. My group of friends and I left the group after Rome and went to other parts of Italy and we had no idea what was the best route to get to our next place and Rémi looked up as much information as he could. He was also very accommodating to everyone and genuinely wanted everyone to have a trip of a lifetime. Attila was the best, most skilled driver I ever had. I’d literally trust my life with this man. He could maneuver the bus through a hayfield. About the trip in general, this has nothing to do with Rémi or Attila, I was a little disappointed in how little was included in our trip. I was expecting to have access inside the places that were listed on the itinerary; for instance, in Barcelona it was listed we’d see Park Güell and La Sagrada Família. I had assumed we’d automatically have access to these sites but we were told a couple days before we’d be in Barcelona that we’d have to get tickets on our own to these sites and by then, it was too late to get tickets to la Sagrada Família so that was disappointing. This is how it was for Paris in terms of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre but luckily, we were able to get tickets in time. I think Contiki needs to let people know that if they want to see these monuments, then they’ll need to buy tickets ahead of time because we had no idea until days before. I also think there was a ton of time spent on driving whereas, we could’ve spent more time in the cities had we flown or taken a train overnight; I would’ve been willing to pay more if it meant more time in the cities. It definitely was a trip of a lifetime, I have #noregrets but I think those are some changes that could be made and would greatly benefit everyone!Show more

  Remi did an excellent job. He was always available for questions and guidance. He was super helpful and made sure to keep everyone safe. He gave us suggestions to do in our free time and even researched the nearest doctors around if we felt sick. He went above and beyond. Atilla was also amazing and was a safe driver. I would highly recommend this tripShow more
