Julia· December 5th, 2022I just had a tour of Italy with Contiki- don't use them- they r horrible! Our group had 53 people! Hotels- like u r staying at a truck stop- tiny beds, outlets don't work, horrible breakfast. Any excursions u want to do- have to pay extra. Tour guide- bad. I paid for the tour almost 3K and it was so horrible I didn't even stay till the end!!Show more

- AAnonymous· November 7th, 2018It was amazing. Margherita (Megghy) and Fabio were so kind and made my adventure incredible.Trip date: September 2018
- KKimba· January 8th, 2018Martina made my first Contiki experience in Italy the best trip I've ever experienced. She has a true talent for what she does and deserves the world. Could not recommend more highly!Trip date: August 2016
- JJodie· January 8th, 2018The trip was amazing, our trip manager Martina Musso made the trip worth it, she was the best trip manager we had on our trip, we got to experience the culture of Italy and Martina helped us understand that and showed us the different things Italians do in ItalyShow moreTrip date: August 2016
- JJennifer· January 8th, 2018I went on the Contiki Italian Espresso tour, which tours Rome, Florence, and Venice over a week. The tour was efficient in taking you to many different cities, and the tour bus from city to city was extremely convenient. One downside of going in a big tour group is that the group dinners are not at the best restaurants, but that is to be expected. Wifi on the bus was limited, but hotels were nice with AC and wifi in all of the rooms. Breakfast included in every hotel stay made mornings much easier! By far, the most excellent part of my trip was our tour guide, Martina. Martina was extremely knowledgable about Italian history and culture, and kept the trip exciting even on long bus ride. Her playlists were on point! She was able to help with any problem, and very easy to talk to. I would recommend a Contiki tour just to have Martina's help.Show moreTrip date: August 2016
- MMargo· May 6th, 2017I have been on two tours with Matei and she really is the best! She's super fun, friendly and patience with everyone!Trip date: October 2014
- AAmanda· May 6th, 2017I had such a great time on tour with Maïté! She made sure everything rand smoothly even when unforeseen circumstances arose. I remember me and my fiend d wanted to go to the Uffizzi in Florence but didn't know if we would be able to fit it in with the schedule since there is a big wait for tickets. Maïté was so kind and considerate and stood in line for us while we were on another supervised tour. I don't think every tour guide would take the time to do this. Maïté really cares that the people on her tour have a good time, and I did!Show moreTrip date: June 2013
- EDEllen· May 6th, 2017Maite made my time in Italy so much more wonderful that it already was. She was caring and personable, and super fun! I'll never forget my trip with her!Trip date: April 2016
