The best thing about Contiki is the fact that I don’t have to worry about planning a trip somewhere I’ve never been before. I solo traveled so I couldn’t imagine finding my way around a city in a... See more

BEST TRIP EVER!

I went on this trip with my husband and we had the best time ever! We live in London and we travel around Europe quite often but this was such an amazing and different experience than what we are used to. Everything was easy, smooth and taken care of. We didn't need to plan or think of anything and we saw SO much in such a small amount of time. It also makes a difference to travel with a group of like minded people looking to have a good time and meet new friends from around the world. Our trip manager Ellie and driver Pedro were the DREAM TEAM! They honestly made the trip so incredible, with their positive vibes, fun personality, help and knowledge into anywhere we went and heaps of insight into every location, they went out their way to make sure everyone was having the time of their lives. I couldn't recommend this trip more to any kind of traveller, experienced, new, first time in Europe, it's honestly the best city picks for Europe and a great time every night! It's very fast paced but manageable. I recommend doing all of the ME TIME optionals, everyone in our group did them and they make the trip 100x better! The ME time optionals were an amazing add on to the perfect trip. I would recommend doing them all, as they were all incredible and so worth it! Everyone in our group didi all of them and we all agreed they were brillliant and amazing value. Highlights were the Amsterdam Booze Cruise, Moulin Rouge, Venice Gondola Ride, Nordkette Mountain and Wine tasting in St. Goar.
