What people love about Europe Tours for Young Adults
- Mamma Mia! - 13 Days/12 Nights
Emma was my tour guide and she really made me feel safe. It was a lot to fit in a small amount of time but I really feel like I have seen a lot of Italy now
Absolutely amazing! From the destinations to the company everything was perfect. I was expecting crazy long bus rides, not actually getting to see much but I was completely wrong. I was part of the European encounter 16 day contiki trip and we saw so much of every place we went to. Choosing to do it through contiki was a fantastic decision, everything ran smoothly the whole time. Our tour manager Nihar worked much harder than we realised because everything ran so smoothly. After doing some travelling after the trip without him we realised how much work goes into organising tours and getting from a to b on time, let alone for a group of over 30 people. Every place we went he taught us about the history and cool facts, gave us advice on quirky places we should check out if we get time, was always knowledgable with everything. Wether we needed a doctors or a pub he had the answer everytime and literally worked every minute of the trip. The trip wouldn't have been the same without him and our driver Johnny, they put in so much and I can't thank them enough! If anyone gets Nihar as their tour manager they are guaranteed the best time of their lives.
