Many wonderful experiences on our holiday in the Azores - thoroughly recommended. Special mention must be made of our superb tour leader Tania. She was faultless - knowledgeable, conscientious, helpful and caring in every way . She worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly and we all counted ourselves very lucky to be with her. We were genuinely sorry to say goodbye, as we enjoyed her company so much . She worked so hard to ensure we had the maximum enjoyment from our holiday. Thank you, Tania.

Overall we had a wonderful time. We are looking at other itineraries.
But I have some suggestions. It would be nice to have a meet and greet at the first dinner. To state our names and where we are from etc. so it doesn't take a week to know everyone's name.
I thought the first and last day were very confusing. We didn't have clear direction where to go and where to meet and what the plan was.
I wish we had more information about the additional events prior to booking them like where, what, and menus. Some menus we would have passed on.

Scandinavia has astonishing sightseeing for those who like nature or history. The experience was even better with Contiki. Ollie our trip manager and Tamas our drive provide a lot of historical information, curiosities and we were able to drive to some other places for sightseeing. Highly recommend it.

Being well taken care of at all times, tour agent & local guides were excellent in telling us history of Spain’s & Portugal’s castles & churches wherever we went! Hotels were satisfied, daily schedules well arranged except optional dinner was a bit over priced 😜
