- WWilliam· June 3rd, 2024Rianna was our trip manager for our tour of Europe last Summer - I couldn't have asked for a better tour guide for my first solo trip overseas. Rianna went above & beyond to ensure we all got the most out of every experience, and her organisation was integral to the trip running smoothly. I would absolutely book another trip with her in the future.Show more

Show moreTrip date: June 2023 - RRyan· May 27th, 2024She was just, like, the best Contiki guide ever! She had this crazy amount of energy that just made you excited to be on her tour. And man, did she know her stuff! Like, she could talk for days about all the places we went to, and you could tell she really loved sharing that with us. Was super good at handling any unexpected things that popped up, and she always had this way of making you feel like you were in good hands. But what really made her special was how she made everyone feel like we were all pals on an adventure together. It wasn't just a tour with her—it was a whole experience that you didn't want to end.Show moreContiki commented on this reviewWe greatly appreciate your fantastic feedback.

- LLivia· May 8th, 2024I did this Contiki with Ri as my trip leader and I loved it! I have been on a few Contikis and other group tours before but no tour guide had as much knowledge and genuine love for the group as Ri did. The way she taught us the history of the country we were in so was so engaging, the bus games made the very long trips fun, and her overall presence and positivity constantly kept the vibes high when we were all getting home sick. I would love to do another Contiki with Ri.Show moreContiki commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback. Our Trip Manager made your trip even better.

- Teagan· May 8th, 2024Emily was unbelievable. I was a solo traveler and was a bit nervous, I texted Em asking so many questions and she was so sweet and informative. She definitely made the trip what it was and I had the best time despite all of my worries. Emily was always there for us and is such an empathetic person. She got to know each of us on a deeper level and knew when we were even a little down and would always check in. I have been on many tours but have never had a tour guide like Em. The group considered Em as one of us but also respected her it was unbelievable. She would share her amazing experiences and get us exited for our next adventure. We all miss her so much.Show moreContiki commented on this reviewThank you for your fantastic feedback. We're thrilled you had such a great experience from beginning to end.
