Scandinavia Tours in February 2026

The holiday was excellent. The organisation, accommodation and cycling were all very good. We packed in a lot of Sri Lanka's top sights and there was plenty of variety of old, new, nature and religion. Ending the holiday on the beautiful south coast was perfect.

Indira, our tour leader, was fantastic. She was welcoming, friendly, informative and nothing was too much trouble. She was patient and very good humoured; we trusted her decisions and always felt safe.

I just left this on google reviews: This tour exceeded all expectations! Our guide went above and beyond to ensure we had as many adventures as possible, making every moment truly special. The small group size (just five of us) made the experience even better—we felt comfortable, well taken care of, and able to personalize our trip. Some of the highlights included exploring Monteverde’s stunning cloud forest, a wildlife river cruise where we spotted incredible species, and relaxing on the white-sand beaches of Manuel Antonio alongside iguanas and capuchin monkeys. We also enjoyed zip-lining, hanging bridges, and a visit to a sloth reserve. My personal favorite was horseback riding on the beach—an optional activity I did on my own, but one I highly recommend. The photos from this trip are absolutely amazing! Even the nighttime walk, which wasn’t my favorite activity, turned into a hilarious and memorable experience. I laughed so much that it ended up being fun, even though we didn’t see much (except in the parking lot!). Overall, this trip was an incredible mix of adventure, nature, and fun. If you’re looking for an unforgettable way to experience Costa Rica, this is it. Highly recommend! If you’re lucky enough to get Diago as a guide, you will have an experience you’ll never forget. Diago deserves a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review direct to explore worldwide!! He went way above and beyond. He took us to amazing restaurants and was our personal photographer. I’ll never forget this trip! I went solo and met the group there and I felt safe with our guide and group. Well done explore worldwide. Where can I go next….

and exceeded every expectation. It’s my second Contiki and I was so Impressed with the professionalism and hard work that ash put into everything. You could see the work she put into everything and the care was unmatched. Although unfortunate that a few things were cancelled and handled it with Grace and tried to make up for it in every way. I think we had a good amount of time in each place and enjoyed each moment. Really really want to reiterate how good was. From the music on the bus, to how responsive she was on messages before during and after the trip and how every day was planned to the T and she made sure we all had a trip personalised to ourselves.

Our holiday in Andalucía was unforgettable, thanks in large part to our outstanding guide, Mike. His deep knowledge of the region’s history, agriculture, and wildlife brought every walk to life. He introduced us to native birds, local traditions, and the warmth of village life, with his fluent Spanish making each interaction effortless. From scenic trails to shared moments over sherry, Mike’s enthusiasm and expertise made the experience truly special. More than just a guide, he created a journey filled with discovery, connection, and adventure. Thanks to him, this was not just a walking holiday, but a deeper cultural experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. As my first Contiki tour, it far exceeded my expectations. I had the pleasure of experiencing a helicopter ride not once, but twice in the same week, and although I had visited Queenstown before, this trip offered a completely new and wonderful perspective. My three most memorable moments were the helicopter flight to Franz Josef Glacier (the 30-minute flight is well worth it), a delightful evening at the small bar by Lake Ohau where I achieved a bullseye on my second ever dart throw, and the unforgettable Milford Sound cruise. My Trip Manager and Coach Captain were exceptional and contributed greatly to making it a truly wonderful experience, as did the opportunity to meet such a diverse and interesting group of people from all over the world. I will certainly not forget this trip and am already considering my next adventure.
