Really enjoyed the tour although it included very long driving hours on some days. Packing lighter would definitely have helped in getting around more easily as we changed hotels almost every day and some of them had a small walk from the drop off point. The group itself was amazing with the tour leader Darius being helpful and attentive. Our driver Pascal was excellent and we had bathroom stops every 3 hours or so in nice service stations having good food and snacks options.

We recently had the most incredible tour guide experience while traveling through Europe. From the moment we met our guide, Aileen, it was clear that this trip would be unforgettable. Her deep knowledge of each city's history, culture, and hidden gems transformed the entire journey. Whether it was wandering through the cobblestone streets of Paris, taking in the breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps, or walking through the streets of Florence, our guide brought every destination to life with fascinating stories and insights.
What truly set the experience apart was their passion for the places we visited. It wasn't just about ticking off famous landmarks—they took us off the beaten path, introducing us to local traditions, lesser-known spots, and unique experiences that we never would have found on our own. They also had an amazing way of connecting with everyone in the group, making sure each person felt included and engaged.
The attention to detail was impeccable. From arranging seam
Italy was a fantastic trip for us. Wonderful fellow travelers and a first-rate guide. We were able to see and do things that would not have been easily accessible to a large group or individuals, and it was a fantastic balance between structure and free time. Strongly advised

Incredible sites, well organized with a very full itinerary. Averaged 15k steps per day! Gabi was incredible and rolled with the various challenges we encountered. Highly recommend if you want to see many of the ex-Soviet countries!

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).
The "Contrasts of Europe" tour invites you to traverse the continent from Lisbon to Amsterdam over 24 days, all at a comfortable, senior-friendly tempo. This guided city sightseeing tour includes everything you need for a worry-free experience: accommodations, transport, and meals. Ideal for those who appreciate the art of slow travel, this trip’s unique selling point is its extensive cross-European route—offering a vivid contrast of cultures, architecture, and landscapes from Portugal to Holland. Enjoy the company of fellow travelers and the reassurance of a group setting as you discover Europe’s many facets.
It was a wonderful introduction to Europe. It was fast paced, but very organised by our experienced travel director . Everyone onboard had a great time. Thoroughly recommend 👌

Four amazing countries in one trip! Each place had its own unique charm, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced. Switzerland’s Alps and Italy’s gelato were highlights!
