My sister and I used them to set up a self-guided walking tour in the Austrian Salzburg Lake District. They had multiple options and we had no issue finding one that fit our schedule and walking goals. Communication was clear and we felt well-taken care of. We would definitely use them again for our next adventure!

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.
From Salzburg’s baroque streets to Vienna’s imperial grandeur, the "Salzburg to Vienna Cycle" tour invites active travelers and seniors to pedal through Austria’s most scenic corridors. Over eight moderate-activity days, cycle past sparkling lakes, rolling vineyards, historic towns, and UNESCO-listed valleys. Enjoy plenty of time for exploration—think Mozart’s hometown, the wine-rich Wachau Valley, and Linz’s riverside charm—before arriving in Vienna, the heart of Austria’s musical legacy. The unique selling point? A self-guided bicycle tour package that seamlessly combines physical activity, stunning landscapes, and cultural highlights for an unforgettable Austrian adventure.
The trip was just wonderful. Our tour guide, Darius, was the best, kept us informed and was super helpful at all the locations we visited. Our driver, Pascal, was also pretty awesome, got us around safely and with good humor. Our group was the coolest, couldn't have asked to travel with better people. Everyone had a great time. I would travel again with Darius, he was fun and funny and knew all the best places. Loved the Expat tour, would do it again.

We just got back from the Best of Europe (22 day tour) and it was an amazing experience, but group travel is not for everyone. If you want to meet new people to explore Europe with & can handle being on a schedule - then group travel is for you. If you want to isolate yourself, have trouble with compromise, and are looking to complain about your fellow travelers and the tour guide - then group travel is not for you.
Emma (tour guide) was amazing and reminded professional throughout the tour. She was always willing to answer questions and give a quick history & language lesson about the different cities in Europe. She made the entire trip enjoyable and manageable as she is an excellent communicator.
As for the tour itself, there are a lot of cities and, at times, it's hard to keep them straight - but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This tour gives you a good sense of what Europe is like and where one may want to visit again. The local tour guides were very good for the most part

Absolutely enjoyed the tour. Rachelle our tour leader was so organized and kept us on point with everything on our schedule. Garbor our driver is the best ever! Such a wonderful, clean, loving, understanding person who made the trip so enjoyable while on the road. Loved the whole experience and the people my daughter and I got to meet and become friends with.
Tour was enjoyable and well conducted.You may need to include Berlin for two days and enhance one more day at Vienna.
Hotels need to provide Electric Kettle and Tea in the room at Innsbruck,Vienna and Salzberg.
Transfer to railway station at the end of tour at Prague on 23 May 2017 was not provided inspite of confirmation from Europamundo. Matter reported to Ms Cecilia, Tour Guide at Prague and had to take a taxi to railway station at a cost of 10 (ten) Euro spent by me.
You need to examine this at your end .
This is a wonderful itinerary for the price. We were able to see many points of interest in a short period of time and many of the add-on activities were excellent. I particularly liked the private Danube cruise in Budapest and the folklore night in Prague.
