Why is that? My husband and I are in our 70's but still independent for all activities of daily living. Why would our age inhibit our ability to enjoy this tour?

The itinerary created for this trip is extreme, and it's suitable for ages 18–35 years old. If you are still interested, we recommend checking out our other sister companies, Trafalgar, Insight Vacation, Luxury Gold, and Costsaver. These operators are open to 5-99 years old.

Nothing particularly special. It was your standard tour of Europe. I thought the tour manager, Kat, was incredibly unorganized and shared very little information with us about the places we visited. The ME time activities were overpriced and mostly not worth extra money spent. Also, I did not realize Contiki was a "party tour" before I went on it so if you do not like to drink all night, wake up hungover and go to the sights I would not recommend this tour. It's a good starter tour but I wouldn't recommend this if you are an experienced traveller or have been to Europe before. Show more

Exploring Europe for the first time with my partner, Megs was a friend not just a tour manager. It was the best experience of our lives and Megs personality made our tour group a mini family away from home. Her infectious smile and character has left such an impression on us even years on from our amazing European tour. She knows how to have fun and how to explore these amazing places. We can only speak highly of Megs!! Show more

I did the London to Athens Contiki with Suzie in September. It was an absolutely amazing experience made that much better by our amazing tour guide. She felt more like a friend instantly than our tour manager and was always happy and keen to come out and party with us! As well as this she was extremely knowledgable on all of the places that we visited on our trip and always gave us an interesting background into the places as we arrived. Would highly recommend her as a tour manager and would love to get the opportunity to travel with her again one day! Show more
