Too much walking in the scorching sun. We have to find our own transport several times

Reply from: Contiki
Thank you for travelling with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that certain aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations. In particular, we understand how challenging it must have been to navigate long walks in the scorching heat, and we sincerely regret any discomfort this caused. Your wellbeing is important to us, and we’ll be reviewing this feedback with our Operations Team to see where adjustments might be made, especially during high-temperature periods. We’re also very sorry that you had to arrange your own transport on several occasions. Our aim is to provide a seamless and relaxing travel experience, and we regret that this part of your journey fell short. We’ll look into the details to understand what may have led to this and ensure clearer arrangements and communication for future travellers. Thank you again for your honest comments they help us to improve. We do hope that, despite these concerns, there were still moments of enjoyment during your tour, and that we may have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future under more comfortable circumstances.

An unforgettable experience! I can't speak highly enough of how well organised, interesting and diverse the itinerary was. Our guide Riana was friendly, engaging, highly knowledgeable and happy to accommodate any requests and answer our questions (of which there were many!). Being our first trip to Europe, we weren't sure what to expect, but we weren't disappointed. Memories to cherish forever and a huge thank you to Riana for making the experience so amazing! 🥰Show more

I had the pleasure of traveling with Rianna, and without a doubt, she deserves to win Tour Guide of the Year. From start to finish, Rianna made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Her knowledge of the destinations was exceptional. She shared so many personal insights and stories that really brought each place to life. And let’s not forget her amazing sense of humor; the puns and jokes she sprinkled throughout the trip kept everyone laughing and lightened the mood. What really set Rianna apart, though, was her approachability. No matter what, she was always there to answer questions, offer advice, or just chat about the day's events. She made everyone feel welcome and well taken care of. The day sheets were always organized and easy to follow, and we always knew exactly what to expect next. Her recommendations for local restaurants, attractions, and hidden gems were perfect, adding a personal touch that made the trip even more special. On the coach, Rianna kept us engaged with fun games, trivia, and challenges that made the long rides feel like part of the adventure. Her ability to balance professionalism with a warm, approachable personality truly made the trip memorable. Rianna went above and beyond in every aspect, and there’s no one more deserving of the Tour Guide of the Year award. She even organized a catch up in Melbourne for all her past travellers from her time with Contiki as she keeps in contact with many of us who want to stay in touch! Shows she cares not just for the job, but deeply about the people she takes on trips.Show more
