    I was a little nervous to travel to Europe alone, as a single woman. I had a friend recommend that I try a tour instead of a solo adventure. I'm so grateful I went this route instead and had Rianna as my tour guide. She made us all feel very comfortable, especially me since this was my first time traveling by myself. Our tour group did not disappoint and I got to meet so many amazing people from around the world. I would highly recommend Rianna as your tour guide. Before booking your tour, make sure she is the lead.

    I had the most amazing experience on this trip, all thanks to the incredible organization and planning! Every detail was taken care of, from the breathtaking destinations to the unforgettable activities. The itinerary was seamless, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the beauty and culture of each place. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into ensuring we had the best time. This was by far one of the most enjoyable and stress-free trips I’ve ever had. Highly recommended for anyone looking to create unforgettable memories!

    On my last Contiki being it my first I didn't know what to expect but the guide Rianna was amazing I went on my own so I didn't know any one and rianna could tell I was shy so she was a great support in guiding me to make new friends and push my comfort levels i would definitely do another contiki if I knew she was running the trip.

    Am I allowed to join this 18-35 years age group tour?

    Age Range

      Apologies as all our Contiki tours are only for travellers ages 18 to 35 years old. We are unable to accommodate travellers outside the said age group.

    Tim

    Asked on September 13th, 2022

    Is the price quoted for 29th October negotiable?

    Price / Availability
    • ContikiOperatorWritten September 2022

      Unfortunately, the trip prices are not negotiable. For trips priced around £2,250, you would need to travel February or March 2023. November 19th would be the next available date if you were looking to travel in 2022.

  • K

    Keith

    Asked on July 25th, 2022

    My husband and I are wanting to do this tour as a second honeymoon and celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary (in May 2023). I wanted to enquire if this tour will allow us to stay in the same accomodation with each other. We would want all our rooms/accomodation for us to be together in the same room instead of sharing with others. Can this be arranged for us?

    Accommodation
    • ContikiOperatorWritten July 2022

      With Contiki you would be staying in Hostels for the majority of this trip and as the hotels are same sex share we would not be able to have you two stay together in the same room. Contiki has one trip though that is just hotels and we can check if they can have you in the same room for this trip.

Can’t find the answer to your question?
Reach out to the experts at Contiki with your enquiry, they usually respond within 7 hours.
