Italy Tours for Young Adults

Italian Escape was an amazing fast paced trip with free time add ons which immersed you in the culture of the locals. We also had an incredible tour guide who was very calm, attentive and did his best to get to know everyone and ensured each person got to make the most out of their trip. Along with the social aspect of contiki, we got to see and do a lot which was worth the investment into the trip.

The trip was absolutely fantastic, it was my first contiki and the first time that I traveled with a tour group and it was absolutely amazing. I can not stop talking about it and the memories will truly last a last time. I know it’s mostly out of your control but a more hearty breakfast would be nice e to start the day. But other than that the accoms were nice was absolutely amazing and I would book another contiki just to have him as my tour manager again.

It was cool that we got to see so much of the beautiful country and making new friends along the way. It would have been nice to spend longer in certain spots , but we were pressed for time.

A great grip with amazing food, cultural experiences, sights, activities, and people. Venice, Florence, Rome, Pisa, and Milan were amazing. I highly recommend it as a way for people to see Rome and Northern Italy.

Fantastic trip, I met so many peoples who were amazing on this trip, and went to so many beautiful places and made memories that will keep me going back in 40 years time

We recently returned from our Play & Pause: Southeastern Europe Highlights trip and our response when asked “how was it?,” has remained the same…”incredible!” Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, filled with stunning landscapes, rich history, and diverse cultures. We experienced much on this trip, while creating lifelong memories. The itinerary was very well planned, offering a great balance between organised activities and free time. This gave us the chance to explore the major highlights of each location while also enjoying the flexibility to either relax or explore each destination at our own pace. Accommodation was generally well located, with most hotels within walking distance of key locations/attractions. When transport was required, there were easily available options and reasonably priced (trains, busses, taxi or Uber etc) The hotel quality was varied. Most were good value given the overall price…others were definitely an “experience.” A real standout was our tour leader, Cass. She was exceptional and added so much to the trip. She was knowledgeable, organised, and genuinely passionate about ensuring everyone in our group had the best experience possible. Her professionalism and positive energy elevated the whole trip. This tour was a perfect way to explore the Balkans in a relaxed, engaging, and memorable way. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience a slightly different version of Europe, where you can have fun while still experiencing a beautiful, historic and diverse region.
