This trip was coordinated so amazingly well in terms of activities, excursions and meals. The guide, Chelsea was amazing in communicating with us in regards to transportation or anything we may have needed! I 100% would recommend this tour.
Take in the tranquil beauty of the Austrian Alps as you conquer the highest peak, roam on two wheels with your bike and even take to the air on a tandem paragliding trip. Cap it all off in style with trips to local restaurants, and the chance to kick back with your Contiki crew at our luxury Haus Schöneck - a Special Stay worthy of the name with an on-site bar and cosy lounge area.
Seeing all the ancient wonders, eating amazing food and exploring great cities with an awesome group of people just makes the best memories. Everything was so easy and well organised. Highly recommend
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.
Soaking in history (and sunshine) in Porto & Sintra. Ticking off GoT filming locations in Seville. Feasting on traditional Iberian dishes. Before flying down south and trekking through the desert on a camel. You’ll do it all (and SO much more) on this 19-day ride of some of the most iconic destinations across Iberia & Morocco. To call it unforgettable will be an understatement.
Well organized and the trip manager was very knowledgeable and kind. The driver was amazing and kind as well. I felt safe and taken care of the whole trip.

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).

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.
