Tour of Acropolis was excellent but felt that there were other sites in Athens which should have been included. The Natiional Archaelogy Museum is a treasure and should have been a basis for all of the sites we visited all over Greece..
It was a wekl-planned itinerary which allowed us to see a wealth of famous historical sites as well as showing us some contemporary “slices of life”.
Good tour director, site guides and driver as well as wuality a commodations, coach and meals.
This was a great trip to explore each city. Personally, this felt a bit more independent type travel (exploring the city by yourself or if you made a friend with them) vs other Contikis (more time with the group). Hotels were great and fantastic locations (centrally located near metros and the main train station). Fantastic free time add ons as well.
This trip was everything I was hoping for. From the tour guide, Brando, and his knowledge of all the places we visited, this trip was a blast. It was also very educational. It was the perfect mix of people, as I enjoyed everyone on the trip.

Would highly recommend, this Contiki was a great taste of each country if you aren’t able to commit to longer trips. Our trip manager and coach driver were amazing. Definitely helped with all the organisation and communication that they did. Can not wait to go on another contiki soon!!

Overall the trip was great Vecchio, our tour guide was exceptionally good - fluent in English and Spanish which was impressive. He was organized, telling us not only about the history of each country but when and where we are stopping for the toilet and the itinerary for the next day. He was always cheerful and easy going. He had an infectious sense of humor which made the early mornings bearable. It would have been great to spend more time in Plitvice lakes, however given the time for road travel, it is understandable why there is limited time in each place. Perhaps it would be better to extend the trip to 10days. Coach was comfortable and adequate toilet stops were made. Didnt mind the bilingual tour as the tour guide was easy to understand.
