- BBradwynn· July 26th, 2019Amazing tour, we saw so much in such little time. Very fast paced and high energy, much like our tour guide. We went to places we other wise would have missed without local knowledge. Almost all the accommodation was great one felt a little cramped, the kobe beef add-on seemed a little over priced but the rest of the tours meals included and not were great.Show moreContiki commented on this reviewHey Brad, Thank you for taking the time to review your Contiki trip.
