Contiki

I took a Contiki on their European Horizons trip and had the best time! Having never been to Europe before, now I can say I’ve been to 7 countries in just 11 days. I went by myself too, since my friends never made it out of the group chat, and going on a Contiki was a great way to travel solo since you end up bonding with a great group of people. It was great making friends from all over the world all the while having amazing experiences together. Will be taking another Contiki soon!!

My daughter wanted to go on a European Adventure by herself after her college graduation. We researched a ton of travel companies and ended up with Contiki since they had age limits for my daughter to be around people similar in age. While as a mom I was scared and excited for this adventure for her, Contiki was the best decision. They sent detailed iterineraries and my daughter had the absolute time of her life. Though the bus had early departures and a lot of drive time between countries, she got to see and experience so much. And she met friends and memories she will have for a lifetime. Would highly recommend.

Just got back from the most incredible adventure with Contiki, and I can’t stop raving about it! If you're looking for a mix of culture, fun, and new friends from all corners of the globe, the Greek Island Hopping trip is where it's at! We visited Mykonos, Santorini, and Ios, each with its own unique charm. Mykonos was the ultimate party spot with vibrant nightlife and beautiful beaches. Ios had the most breathtaking sunsets I've ever seen, and Santorini’s blue-domed buildings and crystal-clear waters were straight out of a postcard. The Contiki team was fantastic, always there with a smile and ready to help. They ensured we were immersed in local culture, with authentic Greek meals, fascinating historical tours, and even a chance to learn traditional Greek dancing! I met an amazing group of travelers from all over the world, and by the end of the trip, we were like one big, happy family. So, if you're considering a trip with Contiki, do it!

I’ve taken two Contiki trips now and it’s my favorite way to travel! I’ll be super sad when I age out in a few years. I had a really good experience with the customer service from everyone I spoke with on the phone as well as my trip managers (seriously, shout out to mia and mikael, you are amazing). Contiki really helped me a lot in making time for everything I actually wanted to see and I have never been less stressed on a vacation because I didn’t have to do anything but pack my bags. If you want an amazing trip I highly recommend Canada and the Rockies or Adriatic Unearthed. I want to go back right now :(

Maybe Contiki tours are alright if you’re actually doing one, but as someone who had the misfortune of being stuck on a train for four hours with a Contiki group in Sri Lanka, I hope they show more consideration for customers than they do for everyone else. On an eight hour journey, on public transport, it is completely antisocial to blast music from a speaker. This was something the tour organiser did, not a tour participant. If Contiki thinks this is an essential part of the journey, they should hire a private bus where they can play whatever they want, as loudly as they want, without disturbing everyone else.

I’ve traveled on 4 Contiki trips so far (3 in Europe and 1 to Peru). It’s hard to pick my favorite as they were all fantastic, but I fell in love with Peru so I think I’m biased towards the Ultimate Inca. The trip was 8-days with 4 of the nights spent hiking and camping along the Inca Trail. Our team was extremely professional and our trip manager, Rolando, was the best!

I have been on four Contiki's before and they are all an amazing experience. From the friends you meet to the places you see it is all worth it! If you are 18-35 I would highly recommend taking as many Contiki's as you can!

Went on European Magic and had a great time. It's a perfect trip if you have limited PTO and want to check a bunch of destinations off your Europe bucket list. I couldn't believe how much we were able to see in just 9 days (7 countries)! It was also my first experience on a guided tour and as someone who is pretty independent as a traveler, I appreciated the convenience and ease of getting around with a reliable Trip Manager. What a great mental break :)
