This trip was interesting and well organised with a variety of stops and areas of interest. We listened to stories by Kevin, which were told in an engaging and compassionate way. Wayne, our driver was also very caring and always helped us off the bus! Both Kevin and Wayne were professional and experienced professionals. I just loved seeing the United Kingdom, especially Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

This was the trip of a lifetime—it opened up the world to me and gave me more confidence to solo travel. I LOVED having the itinerary planned out and all of the logistics handled by our excellent trip manager. It helped me turn my brain off and truly enjoy my vacation. Also was so relaxing to travel between cities by train. We had the perfect balance of planned activities and free time that helped us pack just the right amount of action into each city. I especially loved Free Time Add-Ons like the Moulin Rouge and a bonus cruise on the Seine to see the Eiffel Tower shine (arranged by our trip manager when our plans hit a snag!) Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to explore and connect with others!
Awesome trip, excellent accommodation, beautiful scenery on smooth bike paths along a beautiful river, and quiet back roads passing through farmlands, forests and small villages including some fascinating medieval and quaint historic villages.
Our tour was excellent! Well curated indeed!Our guide, Antonio, was well informed, shared his knowledge generously, had a great sense of humor, was caring and belief us all have a wonderful, memorable time. We will absolutely recommend this tour, Collette, and Antonio!
The staff at the hotel were kind, attentive, and helpful.

I wanted more of Austria, both the travel manager and bus driver were awesome! I think a little less time in Venice as it got a bit boring after 6 hours.

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.
Fantastic trip director and bus driver, Karin Reum and Noel. They made the trip a total experience with laughter, merriment, and compassion along our journey. Great itinerary, hotels, staff at the hotels and restaurants were extraordinary, and side excursions were great fun. I worked in the incentive travel industry for 30 years and I have to say this group was the best of the best. They really cared about our well being and always over delivered with little surprises to go above and beyond. The motor coach was awesome too! Exceeded my expectations!!
Absolutely incredible! Italy’s history, food, and charm blew us away. The small group setting was perfect, and everything was tailored for Canadian travelers. Highly recommend!
