The trip was fantastic. We got to experience so much in a short space of time which was a great way to get a taste of Europe and figure out what places I might like to revisit in the future. The included and extra activities were fun, diverse and generally things that I would not have come across if I had organised my own trip. The group was awesome and I really enjoyed that I could travel alone but within the safety of the group. I also loved getting to know everyone and having people to share memories with. Our tour manager and driver were awesome. They collaborated and complimented each other so well. They made a huge effort to make our trip extra special and after chatting with others who had been on Contikis previously, i’m convinced that we were very lucky to have and as our on road team as they were pretty special. In short, I loved my experience on Contiki and will encourage others to go. I loved Europe and am so thankful to have been able to go.

10/10 would recommend traveling with Contiki! I made the best friends and saw the most amazing places. I never had to stress about planning thanks to the amazing staff. Our tour guide was the best. She made sure that we had the best time and worked so hard behind the scenes. Our driver made us feel so safe on the road and we couldn’t have gone anywhere without him.

Had two goats and that made my contiki the best experience possible. The driving and greetings every morning were absolutely phenomenal and the guide yapped so much I gained knowledge of each and every single city:). Which I am super grateful for, I can now offer history lessons to anyone. Nah but seriously an absolute legend who made travelling Europe the ultimate dream. Radiated good vibes every second of the day which allowed me to feel completely safe in countries I’ve never been to. Not a second went by where I felt like my needs, welfare and happiness were not met. They both truly made this experience enjoyable and stress free so big thanks to them. Having had them as my on road team I know I’ll be back on more contiki’s in the future. Forever wishing them the best as well as in his next race.

The European Discovery with was unbelievable and unforgettable ? This was my second group tour with contiki and I can honestly say this is an amazing way to socially travel with the convenience of the trip being fully planned. I did not have much leave days available, so I was looking for an easy way to see some of my bucket list European countries in a short amount of time. The contiki did not disappoint, all you need to do is show up on time, the team was well prepared and went over and above to make sure everything ran smoothly. and ent beyond expectations time and time again. From the accommodation to the coach, and to the next location, we had countless history lessons from our Tour Manager which was always entertaining and insightful. One of my favorite parts of the day was being on the beautiful coach and travelling to different location, taking in the beautiful scenery; from sun to snow, waterfalls to lakes. The accommodations were good, we had a good breakfast everyday and the included meals and activities were great. Contiki also offered value added free time add ons which made the trip more special. My highlight moments were the Top of Innsbruck and seeing the Eiffel tower sparke from different points in the city. Well done done to the Contiki team for making this memorable for us.I booked through a travel agent, I had no issues with the booking.

I absolutely loved my first contiki! was such a well-organised trip manager that made the entire travelling process stress free. I also LOVED Tomasz, such a beautiful soul. The trip was very fast paced but I loved that I got to see so many incredible places. With seeing snow for the first time in Austria and ticking the milestone of seeing the Eiffel Tower. I booked through a travel agent which made the process alot easier.
