As for a first contiki trip, I say it was incredible. My trip manager was so organised with our free time add on activities and made it such a fun trip from the pre travel day all the way up to our last day. The places we visit were beautiful especially being beginning of winter where we got the opportunity to see snow. The accommodation was lovely to stay in and close to the towns attractions. I recommend anyone looking for their first contiki trip or just to get away for a few days to try this one.

Amazing trip, had so much fun and enjoyed every place we visited on the trip! Great pace, accommodation was nice and the drives weren’t excessive between locations.

Queenstown was an amazing location to do a Contiki, with people coming with the same mindset of using Queenstown and its adventures available to the full potential. The skiing and snowboarding was unreal, deapite the snow season just starting there was amble opportunity for those from beginners to more advanced boarders/skiers to have a good crack on the slopes. The food and nightlife was great, with pretty cheap drinks and good music with plenty of options, it was hard to not send it every night especially when you had a jampacked day the next day. Highlights for me were definitely the wine tour and getting rowdy and loose with your trip mates before having a good crack in town, and the surreal feeling of down a bungee jump. I’ll definitely come back to Queenstown and I’ll be definitely be doing another contiki somewhere else.

This was an excellent experience that combined a visit to Naples and the Amalfi Coast with a longer stint in Sicily. I did not think the trip was rushed at all like some other reviews state. There are some earlier mornings along the trip but these feel worthwhile given you get to make the most of the days in the destinations you’re in. The drivers and trip managers were all super professional and it’s great to experience a taste of Italy with a community of like-minded peers, with plenty of group activity opportunities but also lots of time for independent exploration, and logistics taken care of so you don’t have to worry about transport and hotels.
