What people love about Europe Tours for Young Adults
- Get Social: Central & Eastern Europe
Spirit of Europe was an incredible tour. It gives you a real taster of Europe so I definitely know where I want to go back to. It is a whirlwind trip through, only spending a day in each place, sometimes i wished i had just a few more hours in places so i could really experience everything i desired to. Besides that, i can not fault the tour. The meals by the on site chef were often better then the food we were getting in the restaurants!
I went on the tour starting mid August 2022. Overall was an incredible experience, Tarik, our group leader has been great whether in the early morning wake up or in the late night partying, always making sure we had fun. In fact, I enjoyed this tour ( both sightseeing, activities and group ) so much I bought the Cappadocia and have no regrets in doing so. Be advised, the itinerary is packed and you'll get to see a lot of Turkey's finest but that comes at the price of several hours of transport between locations. In conclusion, I cherish the time I spent in the tour and feel like I've made long time friends along the way.

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!
