Los Angeles Tours in Spring

Was very hesitant at first because of the price of trip but was so worth it. If I had booked this by myself it would have been stressful but Contiki and trip manager handle everything for you. The trip manager was amazing and gave us all the useful information we needed for each stop. All the locations were iconic too and all the people on the trip were friendly. Will not forget it.

This was my first group trip and with Contiki, not knowing really what to expect I went in with I would say low expectations just incase it didn’t live up to the ‘what you see online’ marking. However, I quickly became friends with everyone on the trip and realised it was an absolute out of this world experience to do. There were 1 or 2 of the accommodations that were really below par, as in the unsafe-ness of surroundings and interior hanging on by a thread but most of them were better than expected. Our tour guide gave us a few mishaps, like not giving correct information or messing up on our day plan.. we did find out at the end of our holiday it was their first time hosting a trip, so with that in mind it was more I would say disappoint. When you pay a lot of money for a trip you expect it to go without any mishaps. If I were in their shoes I would have maybe pre-planned a little more and not been so last minute with the following days day sheet to the WhatsApp group, as we had to prompt it a lot of the time. So their organisation could have been smoother running, these aren’t major points but I feel they do also kind of impact the trip itself. To finish off, I would definitely recommend this trip and doing any trips with Contiki as a company. I hope that I can book another soon :)

This was an absolutely phenomenal trip! It was great to see so many incredible places and make so many amazing memories, with the Grand Canyon definitely being a highlight. The accommodation and included dinners were all fantastic, as were the add on experiences such as the hot air balloon. Our Tour Manager was incredibly knowledgeable about every place we visited and made everyone feel so welcome - as a first time solo traveller I was very grateful for this! Will 100% be travelling with Contiki again!

It was well planned, the recommendations on free time were great and the planned activities were also great. Our tour leader was fantastic. I would’ve liked to stay in the park in Yosemite and 1 extra night in San Francisco.

The coach, hotels & destinations were all great. The only issue would be to include some form of breakfast every day, even a basic ‘boxed’ breakfast, especially on early start mornings. Eventhough there are multiple stops, a breakfast with a muffin, a savoury item, juice/water & fruit, would ease the pressure on guests to find something nearby, within the time available. I appreciate Costsaver endeavour to minimise costs, but the guests are still having ‘out of pocket expenses’ & trying to find something, with limited time & outlets appropriate to their needs.

This trip was exactly what I had hoped for and more. Our tour guild was fantastic, she had so much knowledge and was always on the ball so I could enjoy my trip without a worry. This was my first international solo trip and this contiki trip was definitely the way to go. Going with contiki took all stress away as Olivia would update us on where we’re going/staying and helped with everything including figuring out the flights and hotels. She also always had a positive attitude and made the experience very enjoyable 10/10 :)
