    This is such a good overview of Italy. If I had gone alone, I would never have discovered the amazing finds like Lake Garda or Sorrento. Perfect pacing. Great transportation. Only complaint was that I was assured there would be lots of single travelers and I was one of only a few that wasn't part of a group.

    The trip was overall one of the best experiences of my life. Everyone became so close and a little family for the 12 days of the amazing race adventure. Through highs and lows everyone managed to stay positive and make the trip memorable and so much fun. The add ons where some of the highlights but getting to know everyone and building forever friendships made it so much better. (Plus all the gelato doesn't hurt)

    AMAZING trip, could not have asked for anything more. 200% recommend Contiki, this trip & Greg to anyone considering it. Our tour guide (and also our coach driver Francesco) really made a big difference!! Greg, you are a beautiful person - so positive, entertaining & super easy to get along with, taking your time to get to know every individual, making us all feel welcome & comfortable, then bringing us all together as 1 big family by the end. You dropped in lots of useful information along the way however, you delivered it in a way that was relatable and interesting for us to be engaged and often learn something new. He had a morning song that was played each day on the coach and lots of games to keep the travel interesting. Greg made sure we all knew the schedule so we didn't ever have to worry about what was coming up next. His organisation was impeccable and his local knowledge was mind blowing - recommendations for the local food specialities, best gelatos & activities in every city we visited. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Best wishes for your future & hope to see you again some day. Nadia

    Great tour, amazing places and an awesome guide! Greg knew the places we visited inside and out, including the best places for gelato in nearly every town in Italy. I was beyond impressed of his local knowledge and would highly recommend others to jump on board a tour with him! Thanks Greg!

    Greg was a fantastic trip manager who consistently went above and beyond to ensure that every single person had an amazing time on the trip. He is funny, social, knowledgeable about the local culture and history, and most importantly, he is so relatable. Greg worked incredibly hard to bring the adventure to life and is one of the bigger reasons for me wanting to travel with Contiki again. Thanks for the adventure Greg, hope to travel with you again in the future. Cheers Anthony :)

    I am 54 years old. Does that disqualify me from taking part in this trip?

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperatorWritten December 2022

      We are unable to confirm your booking request at this time. To travel with Cointiki, you must be between the ages of 18-35. We do have many other sister companies which have similar itineraries. I would first suggest checking out Costsaver or Trafalger first!
