    I could not speak higher of Travelin' Sam. The vibrant attitude, positive atmosphere, and genuine care that he brought to the Tour made the trip all the better. He tries to credit the particular tour group as a particularly cohesive bunch, but this only came from his passionate dedication. He scoped, investigated, and levelled with every location to ensure not only that we could fit, but that we would get the most out of every stop we made. Rivalling his enthusiasm was his ability to put out every fire that came up. I had firsthand experience after leaving a phone on a shuttle bus. After resigning to the best case scenario getting it mailed ahead, Sam was able to contact the experience's admin, find the details of the driver, and detour our way out of Switzerland via the hostel the driver was staying at. Being a contiki there were plenty of issues too similar to this, that had simply met there match against Travelin' Sam

    Our trip manager Samuel Bodly could not have made our trip better, he knew all the places to go, made sure we were on time, kept us organised. He also knew how to have fun, we had the best time with him. He also was amazing if anyone needed assistance or lost anything, he always made sure to get it back. Honestly our trip was the best ever because of Sam! Honestly a walking legend that man!

    This trip was by far the best experience of my entire life! The itinerary is jam packed with all the best activities and experiences from every place your feet land in but there’s still plenty of time to just go where your heart takes you. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Sam, in fact imagining a Contiki without Sam feels impossible. He was incredibly reliable and had an answer to every question even if he had to figure it out with you in the process, he is so devoted to his traveler’s and above all just so much fun! He brought a group of 50 strangers together into a genuine family in a span of 37 days and no one could have don’t a better job!

    Sam was an amazing trip manager, bursting to the brim with knowledge and odd facts keeping us all engaged. He always kept a calm and level head when he was met with the troubles of our trip. Including having multiple celiacs, a phone stolen and lost wallets. He encouraged everyone to try new adventures and made sure every single person felt safe and included. I would be stoked to see him named as my Contiki manager every single trip

    Samuel was excellent even before we left for our trip, introducing himself over social media and making sure everyone just felt that extra bit more comfortable. It didn’t take long on our trip before Sam was laughing and making everyone smile, making everyone want to be with Sam when doing activities. I really think our trip was 10/10 due to Sam, he knew a lot of history, facts and always made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. There was times where Sam would go out of his way to make sure everyone felt included. For me, I would go on another trip, just to have Sam as my tour guide, he just made things really easy & calm.
