Great and diverse tour of South West France. From the busy cities to coast, Alps and countryside all were fantastic. Great tour guide and driver who were friendly, helpful and informative. Loved the convenience of being dropped close to locations and picked up in the right spot at the end.

This was a very well planned and thought out tour. Our guide (Connie) was engaging and helpful throughout the trip. She prepared in-depth information and graphics to describe each stop in detail. Free time at some stops allowed for individual exploration, before teaming up for group activities.
The food and accommodation provided was above expectation.
Also, the bus was comfortable and the driver very professional.
Overall, it was a fantastic small group tour and I would highly recommend it.

Our guide Manu and our driver Ken ably assisted by Allen, guide in training made our trip smooth, enjoyable, informative and pleasurable. We learnt lots about champagne, how to drink it with appreciation. We went to a family owned vineyard which made the experience intimate and pleasurable. We had a wonderful trip up above Chamonix on the cog railway and then cable car over the glacier. Some of us visited the ice tunnels into the glacier which is shrinking. We visited a family run cheese factory, fascinating and informative especially as there was a large dump of snow outside which stopped our trip across the alps. Ken then took us to another route with striking scenery and winding roads. We visited small villages, one with a weekly market. Manu bought food for a picnic. All our hotels were great - spacious, except for Paris! Hotels were modern, breakfasts were excellent. Our shared evening meals were very good. This trip was made by a good group of fellow travellers who were all travellers, on time, sociable and sharing. The WhatsApp group set up for the trip is still receiving posts from fellow travellers.

Our leader was wonderful, very organised, knowledgeable and a genuinely a lovely person.
Explore tours really captured the essence of the Mont Blanc area.

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).
