Nancy M. | Traveled in February
Loved having porter service for large luggage - not having to drag it down non bus accessible streets. The tour director, Rosalinda totally made the trip fun, educational, enjoyable, entertaining- gave us quiet when we needed it, kept us on track, but nice personality and professional. Needed more time at museums, less at waterfalls . The Vik hotel was clean but basic- some hand railings on outside steps needed. Center hotel was great , but rooms facing bars on Main Street a little nosy. Staff at all places and our driver were fantastic
Mary E. | Traveled in February
Darko was an excellent tour guide and I believe truly enjoys his job. He talked the exact right amount (not too much)-he adjusted with things we were required to adjust to and substituted very enjoyable events for things we could not do because of weather. He was funny, very personable, and was able to laugh at some of the goofy things about Iceland (we all have goofy things in our homeland)-I can’t say enough good things about him-don’t let him get away from you. He’s the best!

On a day when the weather forced us to abandon our planned tour, our tour director had special offerings for us within the hotel, and he substituted unexpected and wonderful offerings on other tour days.

We loved the itinerary, Tour Manager, Bus Driver and sights. What a fun trip! Knowing the goal was to see the Northern Lights, we went in January which was cold and dark. We were able to see the lights three different nights and made the most of the limited daylight hours. The waterfalls and glaciers were neat. Loved the Blue Lagoon!

I could not recommend the ACTIVE NZ Contiki more, it was my first Contiki and I will cherish the friends I made with everyone else and also Brit the Tour operator and Rob our coach driver, best decision ever!

The tour was excellent as was our guide Ashish. We toured New Delhi ahead of the January 26th Independence Day and saw grand boulevards and temples. We traveled to Jaipur by bus to see the ancient city and rode an elephant to the entrance. Later we visited a jewelry maker to learn about the gems from India and see examples of jewelry for sale. Next we went to Agra to see the Taj Mahal which was stunning. From there we went to Ranthambhore National Park to see tigers in the wild. I would suggest this trip for seasoned travelers as the winter air can cause irritation and the crowds of enthusiast street venders can be a bit much.
