- SSara· December 17th, 2024I had the pleasure of traveling with Rianna, and without a doubt, she deserves to win Tour Guide of the Year. From start to finish, Rianna made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Her knowledge of the destinations was exceptional. She shared so many personal insights and stories that really brought each place to life. And let’s not forget her amazing sense of humor; the puns and jokes she sprinkled throughout the trip kept everyone laughing and lightened the mood. What really set Rianna apart, though, was her approachability. No matter what, she was always there to answer questions, offer advice, or just chat about the day's events. She made everyone feel welcome and well taken care of. The day sheets were always organized and easy to follow, and we always knew exactly what to expect next. Her recommendations for local restaurants, attractions, and hidden gems were perfect, adding a personal touch that made the trip even more special. On the coach, Rianna kept us engaged with fun games, trivia, and challenges that made the long rides feel like part of the adventure. Her ability to balance professionalism with a warm, approachable personality truly made the trip memorable. Rianna went above and beyond in every aspect, and there’s no one more deserving of the Tour Guide of the Year award. She even organized a catch up in Melbourne for all her past travellers from her time with Contiki as she keeps in contact with many of us who want to stay in touch! Shows she cares not just for the job, but deeply about the people she takes on trips.Show moreTrip date: July 2024

- VVlad· December 9th, 2024I did not know what to expect as I had heard mixed reviews by lots of my friends who had travelled previously with Contiki and on guided tours. I am glad I went with minimal to low expectations because I my expectations were exceeded! The places we saw, many big ticket items, but lots of classic bucket list places. Super surreal and we had a blast both on and off the coach thanks to the legendary Ri and one and only "Coach queen" Catia! Absolute dream duo and they made the trip what it was. Bubbly, bright, enthusiastic and bounced off one another's energy, so glad I got such pocket rockets to drive and lead me around Europe!Show moreTrip date: July 2024

Traveler•Written May 2024How much physical activity is required?
- ContikiOperator•Written May 2024
This is a fast-paced tour and involves a fair amount of walking and physical activity. Travelers should be prepared for full days of sightseeing, which may include walking tours, climbing stairs, and being on their feet for extended periods. It's suitable for travelers who enjoy a bit of physical activity but don't necessarily want a highly strenuous experience.
