- RMRenae· December 12th, 2024I was lucky enough to have Contiki Ri as my manager for the European Dicovery tour in July, since my friend who knows her recommended her and I also follow her on the Teachergram world! Wow, I was so impressed with how fun she shared the knowledge of the places we visited with a fun twist on educating us and not feeling like we’re being bored by a history lesson. Ri was professional, authentic, super kind and enthusiastic! Always with a beaming smile and up for any challenge that definitely comes with the gig of organising adults, big children! I would highly recommend her as a super manager and so deserving for this award!Show moreContiki commented on this reviewThank you for your positive feedback and recommendation. We hope to welcome you back on tour again.Trip date: October 2024

- GLGeorge· October 26th, 2024I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Contiki's Northern Lights and Fjords trip. From start to finish, Rianna demonstrated exceptional leadership, passion, and a deep knowledge of the region we explored. Rianna’s ability to create a welcoming atmosphere was remarkable. She effortlessly connected with each member of our group, ensuring that everyone felt included and engaged. Her enthusiasm for the Northern Lights and the stunning fjords was infectious, and it truly enhanced our experience. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering ample opportunities for both adventure and relaxation. Rianna was incredibly organized, managing logistics with ease while providing insightful commentary that enriched our understanding of the culture and history of the areas we visited. One of the standout moments was when we witnessed the Northern Lights. Rianna went above and beyond, staying up late to ensure we had the best viewing experience. Her tips on photography and storytelling about the mythology surrounding the lights made the experience even more magical. Rianna exemplifies what it means to be a great tour manager—knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in the well-being everyone on trip. Rianna made this trip unforgettable and left a lasting impression on all of us.Show moreContiki commented on this reviewWe're so happy to hear that you had a great time on your trip and that our Trip Manager made a difference in your experience.
