- AHArielle· December 10th, 2024I joined Rhi for the Ultimate South East Asia tour earlier this year and it was by far the best Contiki I've ever been on, specifically because of how incredible she was as a TM! I got to really immerse myself in every city we stopped in because she had such wonderful local knowledge and recommendations to share. She made everyone on the group feel welcome and safe, and we could not have asked for a better person to spend the month with. I wish Rhi could lead every tour I go on!Show more

- AJAshley· December 5th, 2024Rhianna was absolutely incredible! From the moment we met her, she made us feel so comfortable and safe, which is no small thing when you're traveling in a new country. She’s not only knowledgeable but also has this incredible emotional intelligence that made every moment feel intentional and thoughtful. What truly stood out was her charisma and humor—she had us laughing constantly, and her warmth was contagious. She was so kind and relatable, making it easy to trust her completely. She poured so much passion into making sure our time in Vietnam was unforgettable, and it truly was. Rhianna didn’t just guide us; she created an experience that felt like traveling with a close friend. We’re so grateful to her for making this trip out of this world. Anyone who has the chance to travel with her is incredibly lucky!Show moreContiki commented on this reviewWe really enjoyed reading your feedback, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your tour.

Trip date: September 2024 - HOHannah· December 4th, 2024I did the Ultimate South East Asia tour with Rhi for 27 days. The whole time Rhi had the energy and enthusiasm to take us through all four countries. Her knowledge of every place we went was incredible and she always answered our questions. If she couldn’t she made sure it was answered by a local guide. Her attention with our dietary requirements was great and didn’t make us worry. Her recommendations for food places and things to do in free time was extensive and the day sheets were so detailed and we could always rely on them to be where we needed to be. Her expectation of us was also good because it was needed to make sure we were at places on time because the whole entire trip was none stop. I hope I get to have Rhi again in my next trip back to South East Asia.Show moreContiki commented on this reviewThank you for your review.

- NBNaif· November 22nd, 2024Rhi was the perfect mix of energy, fun and professionalism, making the entire experience unforgettable. Before I started the trip, she was supportive during the time I was waiting for the visa. During the trip, her energy was incredible, filling each day with excitement and fun. She just had the ability of balancing fun with a high level of organization, ensuring every detail was carefully handled without ever feeling rushed, and informing us with all the information about the destination and where to go and what to do. Her caring nature was amazing, as she made sure all needs were met, checking in regularly and offering recommendations tailored to everyone. It was my first trip that a trip manager just knows my personality and my preferences and offers me activities based on that. This trip was very special, it is my 3rd Contiki trip and the best so far.

Only slight downside of the holiday was my roommate Seb he wasn’t the greatest person to talk to or share a room with in 11days.
