What people love about Western Europe Tours for Young Adults
- London to Rome (Start London)
Megs was AMAZING! The absolute best tour manager we could of hoped for! She was so much fun as well as having a great amount of knowledge on everywhere we went! She always informed us on the most important facts and made history fun! I was amazed at her level of professionalism as she dealt with everyone fantastically. She managed to go above and beyond our expectations all the while maintaining a great level of enthusiasm. Megs was able to be very energetic and I don't know how she managed that. She always had time for our questions, we all loved her! Having Megs as our tour manager made our trip that much more special and something we will remember for a lifetime. Thanks for everything Megs!
Ri was super energetic and friendly right from the beginning email! Any questions or concerns I had were answered quickly and her communication was excellent! Right from meeting her, it was clear that she is very knowledgeable but also was willing to answer any type of questions to do with history or general questions. Additionally, I also felt super safe having her around being able to guide us and take us through the 12 days always with a smile and extremely good attitude toward anything we faced. I’m really glad to have had Rianna as tour manager as her organisation skills were top notch and would go on another contiki tour if we was trip managing again!
European Discovery (Summer, Start London, Classic)
Gema is a kind, warm and welcoming tour guide who is enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. She goes above and beyond to ensure everyone on the tour is happy with dinner choices, activities, free time, accomodation, everything you could think of! She is always contactable and is happy to answer any questions/messages/calls you have. Her knowledge of each countries history and landmarks is fantastic, and if she isn’t sure, she will find out your questions for you right away. Gema organises activities for the group to bond over regularly and they are always fun and entertaining!
