    This was the most amazing week of my life! A year on and I’m still thinking about it and catching up with the friends I made. I had no idea anyone could experience so much in such a short time but wow, it felt like a months long holiday in the best way possible. Our tour manager Rianna (AKA RiRi) was phenomenal!!! The amount of work she put in to making our trip so fantastic was insane, she went above and beyond, never stopping, but still making sure we were all having the times of our lives! On top of all the planning and organising RiRi worked so hard to bring us all together and really make us a Contiki family and kept the spirits high, even when we were all severely hungover or unexpected delays like a helicopter landing on the motorway right in front of our coach delays us for hours!!! Not only did RiRi handle all that but made sure we were still having fun with bus karaoke and our feel good tune everyday! The itenerary was so perfect! We got to see so much and get such great experiences that brought us all together, I made friends for life in some of the coolest and most beautiful places in the world! The boat tour around Capri was a major highlight!!! With a bonus party at the hostel that night, which was such a great surprise! The places we visited were amazing but the people took it to the next level, and RiRi seriously out did herself! I CANNOT believe that was her first trip!!!! The professionalism she had and how well everything was handled had me believing RiRi had done it for years! Oh, and shoutout to Tomasz, the best coach driver going! If you’re thinking about doing a contiki, DO IT! You won’t regret it! You meet the best people and make core memories for life!

    The included meals were not good at all and i think the itinerary could be a lot more organized. I spent most of my time waiting for meetup times. I thought it was a waste of money as I didn’t enjoy my experience and I would not recommend it to anyone

    Pace of the tour was great - I'm an 'on the go' kind of traveller so it suited me just fine. Sure there were long bus days and they were torture but you're covering a lot of ground so it's expected. There was no pressure to take up the optional activities which I liked - that hasn't been my experience with other tour companies. Our Trip Manager, Remi, was fantastic as was Attila our driver - his skill for manoeuvring the bus was insane! Accommodation exceeded my expectations - being 'hostel/hotel' I was expecting dodgy hostels and a massive communal bathroom but the rooms were on the whole quite spacious, very few were of the 'all bunk bed' set up and the bathrooms were only quad share which was very manageable. In the main, the included breakfasts were great - we were warned not to expect much but toast, juice, cereal is really all I was after anyway. My only negative was how the rooms were assigned - having booked together, myself & my travel companion figured we'd at least be placed together but a room sheet would be passed up and down the bus so when we got it LAST, we only had the option of single places left which separated us. Let's just say my poor room mate had a less-than-ideal experience and it kind of put a sour taste in our mouths after that and had me stressing for the next room assignments. Also, I realise 'Contiki cough' isn't a term ya'll like but we joined part way through and I came down with it literally overnight... Even just putting hand sanitiser on the bus or, heaven forbid, face masks, would help reduce the spread, especially on the long driving days when you're all confined with the air con just recirculating everyone's germs. Oh and the little welcome game of 'speed dating' on the bus assisted in the spread too and made those of us with motion sickness very unwell - might be an idea to stop that or don't make it go on for so long! Despite the negatives, Contiki allowed us to see so much more and in a much shorted time than if we'd done it on our own - it was a great budget option for us to get from Point A to Point B.

    Had a fantastic first experience with Contiki. The tour manager and driver were AMAZING and made the experience so much better. Rémi was incredibly knowledgeable and more than helpful and accommodating. The itinerary was busy but allowed for free time in every location. Accommodations were as expected, with some exceeding expectations. Free time add ons were all definitely worth the money. I have no complaints and will certainly be doing another Contiki in the future!!

    It was a spectacular trip. Everything we could have hoped for and more. Unfortunately, the major let down was the other people on the trip. Lots of b****y fights and catty behaviour just made it unpleasant. I would do one again in a heart beat but cross my fingers for a more chill bunch of people.

    My trip with Sian was absolutely perfect! She was very organised, and made the effort to get to know everyone on the tour. The accommodation was all great and our Contiki coach was always clean and tidy.

    Sian was an amazing guide as I've come to expect from Contiki -- with this being my 4th tour. She had everything organized in terms of sights and nightlife, and most importantly was extremely easy to talk to!
