    Rhi was the BEST TM! I wish I could write how amazing, welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun she was but I’d run out of words. Every question was answered, jokes were made, advice was given. This was my first trip with Contiki and will be the reason why I book more trips through Contiki. If she could be my TM FOR EVERY TRIP I WOULD SCREAM FROM HAPPINESS

    Really really enjoyed all the aspects of this tour. Talia was the coolest guide!! Was the perfect mix of caring, fun, but never overbearing. I had the best time getting to know her and all the other people on the tour :) the whole tour ran very smooth and every part was well planned and executed. Would definitely go on another tour!

    Aaron went above and beyond to provide unique experiences outside the planned activities, from arranging took-took rides, night markets, and adding in an extra waterfall. Overall was a little fast-paced, but I am so happy to have a range of experiences in such a short period of time. Look out Aaron, we are coming back for a reunion tour!!

    Elle is truly an amazing person, and amazing tour guide. She loves her work, and it shows into the effort she puts into all of it. She goes above and beyond to help if you need it. Her day sheets are so cute. I've seen other tour sheets (from friends) and she truly does a good job. Love her and wish she could be my tour guide for every trip.

    Elle was absolutely incredible!!!! She gave me the confidence to meet people, make more friends, and travel more!! She was the best tour guide I have ever had! She provided good historical, political, and nature information. Her recommendations for restaurants, activities, bars, were good and she organized additional night activities for the whole group (restaurants, bars, hikes, night markets). She made a huge positive impact on my overall experience.
