    Loads of like minded people in the group. Average age of 27. Would have preferred more time in places like Kotor and Mostar with less time in Split. Most of the group had travelled before and we were keen for our own itinary as our guide made it clear there was no flexibility on theirs we tended to get Uber’s etc. A few others joined in this so there was about a 50% split of those who didn’t stick to schedules and just got the bus to and from town if it worked. If our guide had been more approachable I feel we could have had a better plan at times for everyone. The bars we were taken to were really poor however we were prewarned. After the first night of being unable to break away from the group at a bar to find another a bunch of us steered clear of contikis pre organised evening activities. Dubrovnik was a highlight. Overall I’d do another G adventures tour before I go on a contiki again.
