Loved the whole experience- visited all the best countries in Europe, tasted wines, spirits and other European alcohol In cheapest prices. It’s not suitable for asians with dark skin and if you’re over 34 yrs old unless you have a thick skin to not give any reaction to the comments some people make as a joke- only because they are white and still young. Not sure what they are so proud about in those moments. Other than that I enjoyed my time with rest of them. The price was on discount- I had to add on some extra adventures which worth it. Honestly 24 days is finished so quickly. Recommend to all the people who like explore Europe more in less time in cheaper price. Great work contiki, I am on my second one now- in Thailand, this group of approx 30 people is much better than European escapades (just my personal experience).
There were so many historical sites and known stops you just read about that were added to this tour. the pace was fast and there was a lot of walking ..it may be hard on an older market as there were steps and inclines but when you do it ,what you see at the end of it all was majestic, memorable and worth it. The breakfast at each hotel was fulfilling and with a wide variety.
The tour guides were knowledgeable and communicated well.

The tour guide was great. I wish that the itinerary matched the catalog itinerary because when I signed up for the tour I thought we would go to Lake Como I thought we were going to go to Port Venice but that wasn’t what was happening. Other wise the trip was great
