- SSara· December 17th, 2024I had the pleasure of traveling with Rianna, and without a doubt, she deserves to win Tour Guide of the Year. From start to finish, Rianna made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Her knowledge of the destinations was exceptional. She shared so many personal insights and stories that really brought each place to life. And let’s not forget her amazing sense of humor; the puns and jokes she sprinkled throughout the trip kept everyone laughing and lightened the mood. What really set Rianna apart, though, was her approachability. No matter what, she was always there to answer questions, offer advice, or just chat about the day's events. She made everyone feel welcome and well taken care of. The day sheets were always organized and easy to follow, and we always knew exactly what to expect next. Her recommendations for local restaurants, attractions, and hidden gems were perfect, adding a personal touch that made the trip even more special. On the coach, Rianna kept us engaged with fun games, trivia, and challenges that made the long rides feel like part of the adventure. Her ability to balance professionalism with a warm, approachable personality truly made the trip memorable. Rianna went above and beyond in every aspect, and there’s no one more deserving of the Tour Guide of the Year award. She even organized a catch up in Melbourne for all her past travellers from her time with Contiki as she keeps in contact with many of us who want to stay in touch! Shows she cares not just for the job, but deeply about the people she takes on trips.Show moreTrip date: July 2024

Asked on May 28th, 2025We're currently living in Australia on a temporary visa and hold Sri Lankan passports. We're planning a trip to Europe and would like to know if your agency can assist us with obtaining the necessary travel visas. Could you please let us know the process and what documents are required?

As Contiki does not process visas directly, we recommend visiting the official visa website or consulate of the country you plan to visit, based on your region of residence. Contiki can provide supporting documents such as booking confirmations to assist with your visa application, but the application itself must be completed through the appropriate visa authorities. Please be advised that Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate.
