Courtney our trip manager is amazing. She did a wonderful job of making the trip special, bonding the group together and bonding with us. The extra effort she puts into the daily tips and tricks doesn't go unnoticed.

Courtney is an incredible guide! We felt privileged to have her running our contiki tour, and feel she balanced the responsibility and duties of her role with the social and fun aspect of travelling perfectly. Courtney’s effort for the day sheets, planning and recommendations deserves commendation, and her history lessons are legendary. We love Courtney!
