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.
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.

An extremely well thought-out and organized trip that catered to people from different backgrounds and of different interests. The accommodation, itinerary, and order of activities all made sense, and the staff took all of the stress out of travel to maximise the fun.
I had never been on a tour planned by a company before so did not know what to expect. That is the only way I will travel from now on - pay my money, get on the plane and have enjoy!
I think the memory that I least expected, was enjoying and learning about cork. I had NO idea you could make so much with cork! I also liked that all the businesses we toured were family run operations. They have a passion for what they do, they know their product from start to finish and could answer any question thrown at them.
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.
It was a packed program, covered a lot of place of interests, mostly good hotels, good guides and co passengers were friendly barring for one lady from Argentina.
