Linz Tours and Trips

This was an amazing trip! The people, the places, made it all great. I feel like we had a good amount of time in each place and I feel like I definitely saw much more than I would have if I was on my own. My trip manager () was great he was very knowledgeable and made the trip super fun!

This was my first Contiki trip and it is going to be the reason why I go on more in the future. Our tour guide was energetic, friendly, and so excited that everyone was there and just made every day an amazing time. Each day of the Active Alps was something new. I got to cross a lot of things off of my bucket list! If I got a chance to go back and do it again, I 100% would. It was the best week of my life.

did a good job getting to know everyone in the group and trying to keep track of the team. Some things he could work on: communication on what the itinerary for each day was. He did good for Austria but Switzerland wasn't clear. It would also be helpful if he gathered everyone to provide information and got our attention prior to tell us facts because most didn't notice until part way through. Questions got re asked repeatedly. Also it would have been nice to have more facts and knowledge about the country and where we were going.

Trip was ok nothing special. If you have lots of money to spend then you will enjoy it otherwise you can feel excluded from the group bc there is peer pressure to do all extra paid activities. For Australians who haven’t been to Austria or Switzerland it is a good introduction to the countries but for a European do NOT attend this trip. It is cheaper to stay solo and explore the areas yourself. There are nearby campsites. With every Contiki you risk getting a bad group but if you are willing to chance this then go on the trip. The areas visited were gorgeous, it was an active trip but no way near enough as expected. You only do a 20km bike ride, 1.5 ish hour walk and that is it. Had to do my own hikes to enjoy the scenery which tour guide did not even know about. Expected more for what I paid but glad I went to see the mountains. Won’t do another Contiki but enjoyed the experience overall. If you don’t enjoy drinking don’t go either. I don’t drink (maybe once a year) and noticed about half the group drank every night.

We were family of 5 and thought the trip was well mapped out and the bikes were good. We were disappointed in the accommodations and the lack of details regarding crossing the Danube by ferry.
