Jam packed trip seeing the best sights of the UK and Ireland. The trip is fast paced and not a lot of time to immerse in each town but enough to see the sights and move on. Would recommend this trip for anyone wanting to see the highlights of the UK and Ireland with the knowledge of a trip manager to point out history and recommendations for activities food etc. Over the 18 days, I had so much fun which can be attributed to the enthusiasm of the trip manager and driver to make the trip enjoyable for us travellers.
I really enjoyed the trip and the way camping was mixed into the other accommodations.
However, it would have been nice to have some more options for Cape Town add-ons, even if we couldn’t do all of them. I.e see Nelson Mandela’s prison. I also think the township tour should be an inclusion.
The walking safari in Zambia was a bit too expensive though, considering we only did like 30-40min of walking.
was fantastic in the way he welcomed us to his home country and spoke about life in Africa.

The Miami to Dallas Trip is well worth it, you'll have fun no matter what. This trip is part of a moduled trip that has a much longer adventure, this particular trip is the first half of a much longer adventure which I'd suggest on taking if you are able to take it.
Contiki did a great job on curating a perfect iterinary and planned dinners and the Trip leader I had was amazing and really made sure to go that extra mile along with the Driver who was more than happy on driving our group around.
I will highly advise on doing all the free time add-ons and working with your tour guide on coordinating with your group on spontaneous adventures too like rodeos and unplanned adventures.
You'll make friends and for sure you'll have a great adventure!

Loved the whole experience- visited all the best countries in Europe, tasted wines, spirits and other European alcohol In cheapest prices. It’s not suitable for asians with dark skin and if you’re over 34 yrs old unless you have a thick skin to not give any reaction to the comments some people make as a joke- only because they are white and still young. Not sure what they are so proud about in those moments. Other than that I enjoyed my time with rest of them. The price was on discount- I had to add on some extra adventures which worth it. Honestly 24 days is finished so quickly. Recommend to all the people who like explore Europe more in less time in cheaper price. Great work contiki, I am on my second one now- in Thailand, this group of approx 30 people is much better than European escapades (just my personal experience).
