- EEmily· August 4th, 2024I did the Italian Escape Tour but missed the initial meeting due to a doctor's visit. I met the group later and had a brief, casual conversation with the trip manager, who asked if I’d like to do all the optional activities, stating that “pretty much everyone is doing them.” I agreed without realizing my response was binding. I was not informed about any 48-hour cancellation policies or exclusions. That night, I reviewed the optional activities and saw they exceeded my budget. The next morning, I informed the trip manager of the activities I didn’t want to do, but was told it was too late as an email had been sent and I had to pay. Feeling pressured, I insisted on not attending the Napoli food tour, preferring the Capri ferry ride, Pompeii tour, and Colosseum tour. The trip manager then cited a hidden 48-hour cancellation policy. I reluctantly agreed to the food tour but asked to cancel the Colosseum tour. He agreed, as it was outside the 48-hour period. During the tour, the trip manager pressured me, claiming I’d be stranded on the side of the road if I didn’t join certain activities, like the Lemon Tour on the Amalfi coast. Contrary to his claim, as I hopped of the ferry ride I saw the beautiful coast and spent the day swimming at the beach and had a great lunch. It was thee most amazing side of the road. On the day of the Colosseum tour, the trip manager tried to charge me 180 euros, which included for the Colosseum tour, which I had canceled. He claimed the Colosseum was an exception to the 48-hour rule. I refused to pay 180 euros, but said I will pay 122 euros which was all the actives I attended and said I wanted to do. I contacted Contiki, speaking with Tasha Hayes the operations manager and sustainability director, who was extremely unhelpful and insisted on the payment. She was not willing to hear me out, and calling my handling of the situation ‘unfortunate’. Finally, on the last night, the trip manager eventually accepted my payment of 122 euros, excluding the Colosseum tour. However he claimed and Tasha Hayes informed me, that the trip manger would have to pay out of his own pocket now. I think that’s unfortunate as it’s a hidden policy i can’t even find on the contiki website, however it was the trip manager’s responsibility to tell me these policies on day one which he failed to do, so I hope he has now learnt his lesson to be transparent and honest. I refused to pay for his negligence. This experience was extremely stressful. I had expected support from Contiki but instead faced constant pressure and felt wronged. The trip manager lied about informing me of the policies, and Contiki’s customer service, especially Tasha Hayes, was unhelpful. They threatened to exclude me from optional activities on my upcoming Croatia sail unless I paid for the Colosseum tour. I was not informed of the policies upfront and felt pressured throughout the trip. Ultimately, I didn't pay but was threatened with exclusion from future activities as my punishment due to their lack of transparency. I am disgusted with Contiki's handling of the situation and would never recommend this company ever again unless you want to be scammed and treated like sh**.Show more

Asked on May 9th, 2025I am interested in booking this tour however my party and I are not able to begin until July 12 or 13th. I see those dates are not available online. Is there a way to make an adjustment for our preferred dates. We are expecting 4-6 travelers.
ContikiOperator•Written May 2025After reviewing the schedule, here are the available dates for this trip in July: 01-Jul-2025, 08-Jul-2025, 11-Jul-2025, 15-Jul-2025, 18-Jul-2025, 29-Jul-2025. Dates will not be adjusted as this is a package trip. If you prefer to join the group mid-itinerary, that will be possible. However, please note that the cost will remain unchanged.

The meet-up place is at your first hotel on day 1 of your trip. On that day, you will be having a kick-off meeting at approximately 4:00 in the afternoon. The preferred arrival and departure airport is Fiumicino International Airport (FCO).

Traveler•Written May 2024on day 5(sat), do you know what time the tour will reach back to rome? i'm thinking of booking a vatician museum tour at 1.30pm. is it possible for me deviate from the group for a while?
- ContikiOperator•Written May 2024
If you are arriving in Rome at 6:30 pm, you may miss the initial meeting. However, you can still join the tour, and our Trip Manager will brief you on the necessary information when you arrive. The tour officially ends in Rome at 8:00 am on day 6. Booking a Vatican Museum tour at 1:30 pm on day 5 might be challenging due to the uncertainty of our arrival time.
