- Sarah· September 25th, 2024I am so grateful for my experience with Ri, she went above and beyond my expectations for a trip manager. Her knowledge in the local culture for all the places we visited while providing information, recommendations, facilitating activities and group bonding throughout the whole trip is outstanding. She conducts herself in such a professional manner being well prepared but also while on a personal level She makes you feel so comfortable with her compassion and kindness. She always made an effort to be involved in the group and activities. She made sure I was able to see the Colosseum in Rome on my last day of the trip when I had flight to catch so she carried my luggage around at the colosseum until I had to run to catch a taxi. She demonstrates an extraordinary ability to understand what truly matters. I hope for my future travels, I'll be lucky enough to have Ri as my guide again. Ri is such a special and beautiful human and her love for a good pun ;) Ri is an absolute legend and icon and is so deserving of this award ❤️❤️ Ri, THANK YOUShow moreContiki commented on this reviewThanks for letting us know about your awesome experience!

- AAnonymous· April 24th, 2024This trip was amazing overall, however, it wouldn't have been as great without our group leader, Emily! Her care and attention made the trip run smoothly plus, she had the best tips, recommendations, and fun facts to learn a little about each city. I have been on several group tours with different companies and destinations and Emily has been the best group manager of them all. You can tell she cares about her travelers & she goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has the best time possible! My only recommendation for the itinerary would be slightly more time in Slovakia, we had less than an hour there so we barely had time to eat. Could also have less time in Venice and more time in Vienna or Rome instead.Show moreTrip date: March 2024
- BMBrendan· December 8th, 2016I wasn't expecting to much when I took a tour with Contiki. My expectations were to enjoy my time off and meet new people and see new places. The tour was GREAT. There are things to see, options of entertainment, exposure to different cultures and new experiences I'll never forget. My advice for anyone considering the Eastern Trail is to have an open mind, be a little out going and have incinsentive to try new things and you'll have more fun then you ever expected.Show moreTrip date: December 2015
- RBRichard· September 6th, 2016Trent made the trip incredibly fun and insightful. There was not a moment in which we weren't either learning something interesting or having a great time at an awesome venue. I genuinely think Trent added a ton of value to the enjoyment I had on my contiki.Show moreTrip date: August 2016
- DDannielle· May 17th, 2016Trent was the best guide ever! He was very knowledgable about all the cities we visited and went above and beyond to ensure we got the best experience out of every destination!Trip date: February 2014
- LMLaura· May 16th, 2016The trip was more than I could of ever expected. Trent made myself and everyone else on the tour feel so safe but got us out of our comfort zones (in a good way) at the same time so we wouldn't go home with any regrets. Trent is the best tour guide I have had and I would request him for my next trip if I could!Show moreTrip date: February 2016
- KKate· May 16th, 2016I had an amazing tour in Eastern Europe, which was made all be better by my amazing trip manager, Trent! He went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time and were given enough information to make sure we could get the most out of our trip. Everything was organised perfectly with enough room for some spontaneous fun on the side. We saw so many things and I had an incredible time on Contiki. Thanks Trent!Show moreTrip date: February 2016
