Customer Reviews
- Katrina· July 28th, 2025My trip was absolutely fantastic from start to finished. My trip was impeccably run by tour manager Dem, who was organised, kind, flexible and provided all the fun. Despite the brief stops in each location, I was able to get a taste of the culture with a an agenda that had the perfect mix of structure and time to explore. Trips on the coach were smooth, with amazing driver Raf behind the wheel. It was a pleasure to spend some down time with Raf and Dem and their knowledge and experience was incredible. The organisation was impressive and smooth which made the trip stress freeShow more
- Stephanie· July 7th, 2025Dem was the best. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better trip manager. She ticks every box and is a massive asset to contiki.Show more
