    On my last Contiki being it my first I didn't know what to expect but the guide Rianna was amazing I went on my own so I didn't know any one and rianna could tell I was shy so she was a great support in guiding me to make new friends and push my comfort levels i would definitely do another contiki if I knew she was running the trip.

    I had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable European adventure with Riana as our guide on a Contiki trip, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we set foot in Europe, Riana’s enthusiasm, energy, and expertise transformed our journey into something truly special. She has an incredible ability to connect with everyone, making each person feel seen and valued, all while sharing her deep knowledge of European history, culture, and hidden gems. We had the best trip and we owe it to Ri!!

    I don’t think I can ever travel again with a guided tour unless it’s with Rianna, as she set the bar beyond high! From the start, it was clear she wasn’t just doing a job, she was truly passionate about sharing the history and stories of each place we visited. Rianna brought the sites to life with personal anecdotes and deep knowledge, making each stop feel special and meaningful. She also had a unique way of making everyone feel included, checking in with each person and making sure we had time to enjoy the experience at our own pace and seeing things of interest to us. If you have the chance to tour with Rianna, don’t hesitate as she’s a genuine, down to earth guide who turns a simple tour into a once in a lifetime trip.

    Rianna was an awesome trip manager for my European Trail tour. She answered any random questions we had and gave us heaps of information about the areas, history and options throughout the tour. Nothing went wrong and Rianna made sure we were happy and safe the whole time. I’d highly recommend her for anyone’s trip in future.

    Both Ri and Angel were absolutely incredible on the trip! Our trip manager Ri was so amazing! She always was so organised and on top of everything which made the trip run so smoothly and had so much interesting knowledge to share about all the amazing places we went. Her passion for not only the job but for ensuring travellers have an incredible time radiates off her and is infectious. Her care, joy and kindness was felt every day by the entire team and honestly could not have wished for a better trip manager. Angel was also an absolute gem on the road! He was always so efficient with driving and packing/unpacking the coach but was also such a kind and fun driver which made long coach days far more enjoyable! So grateful for both Rianna and Angel and all the hard work they have put into the trip!

    Riri was, in my honest opinion, the best contiki trip manager I could’ve ever asked for. Riri made the trip what it was, she helped us all get comfortable and make those deep and meaningful connections with each other, as well as offering constant support for anyone who needed it. On the trip I constantly looked up to Riri and her hard work. She was constantly on the move with lots of side quests going on behind the scenes, that I constantly found myself asking how she could do it all - whilst planning a trip for 50 hungover young adults. It was common for Riri to hang out with the group of girls I was close with, and we always had a blast. Riri made amazing connections where everybody’s valued her hard work and looked up to her for advice and as a guide, but she has such an amazing soul that you couldn’t NOT be friends with her. On the trip, I experienced some horrible food poisoning and couldn’t eat for almost 50 hours - Riri offered the best support I could’ve asked for. Helping me get medication, feel comfortable, and making sure I rested up and got food when I needed it. It’s tough being away from home while so sick at such a young age, especially without the support from your parents, and Riri made me feel very comfortable and cared for. Riri’s knowledge and experience made the trip what it was for me, and I would go on another contiki with her in a heartbeat. She always gives everyone her all and deserves the world
