Contiki was a great introduction to Vietnam and getting to know the country, I could have been happy without Nah Trang and the moonview hotel was abit of a letdown but over all I loved the trip
Bobby G. | Traveled in May
I was very nervous at the start, our tour manager made it a very comfortable and exciting experience (JC), I was very lucky to be out with an amazing group. Built a family. Had the best trip of my life. I will be booking more trips with contiki
Iain F. | Traveled in May
It was a guided trip across the country to showcase the culture and activities of Costa Rican culture. Breakfast and accommodations was all covered under our trip while certain add on activities were payed by us directly on the tour. There were 30 of us in all to get to know each other so aside from getting to know the country you also got to do it with potential new friend circles from around the world.
Ollie | Traveled in May
I loved the trip. Got lucky with the excellent friends that I made along the way. The trip itself is super with super unique activities. Staying in River Rafts along the river Kwai, Zip Lining, Cooking, Quad Biking, Bike Tours, Slow Boats was fantastic. Food and Accommodation was excellent with some being extra fancy. Trip manager Sam was 11/10 !!
Amy Brooks | Traveled in May
Had the best 10 days in Cambodia with trutravels, our tour guide Hul went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time possible, it was so lovely to see him welcome us to his home country!
Rachel B. | Traveled in May
This trip was amazing. I could not have asked for anything more. The fast paced start lets you see so much in 4 days, then it calms down as you become exhausted. The trip manager and driver really make the trip, and mine were AMAZING (shoutout Marek and Sasha). Make sure you do a lot of the included experiences, it really makes the most out of your time.
