    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.

    Is there a reason it is only good up to age 35?
