Customer Reviews
- AFAdam· November 15th, 2019Tour generally was very good. Wasn't too impressed with included meals but wasn't expecting much. Tour guide was fantastic and even helped me out when I forgot my passport. She even left open a space for sun studios at no charge if we couldn't make it if we wanted longer in Graceland. Ideal that it ended in Orlando so I could do Orlando by myself. Graceland was the highlight and we actually spent 7 hours there when tour left after 3.5 to go to sun studios. Hotels weren't always that central which wasn't ideal but when sharing uber's it wasn't too expensive. I liked the tour group. New Orleans was a lot crazier than I thought! I was quite surprised at how much people liked to party and it seemed like the nightlife was very important to a lot of people on the tour but less so for me but you weren't inclined to go out and take part if you didn't want to. The included attractions were generally very good and the add ons weren't that expensive. Plenty of free time as well. And plenty of stops in between on the longer journeys. I prefer other places in the USA like NYC and Vegas but this has absolutely nothing to do with the tour company so it's not a fault of contiki at all. Really enjoyable tour and well worth doing.Show moreTrip date: October 2019
