Fast paced but we love that we get to see so much. Wouldn’t have been able to see a quarter of what we saw trying to coordinate a trip like this ourselves. We are already planning our third tour to book.
I had a fantastic time on this trip. The itinerary was well-planned and the locations were stunning. A special mention to our tour leader, who was excellent; very approachable and professional. He really helped the group bond and made the experience seamless
Totally amazing guide and driver. We had such a great time exploring the beautiful Cape Verde with this tour.
The cooking experience in a traditional home was a wonderful experience.
Our guide spoke awesome English and was so knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble.
Highly recommend.
Initially before booking the trip I thought it was extremely overpriced.
However(our tour guide) was fantastic. He made the trip worth every penny and was extremely organised and knowledgeable. The locations were great, and the activities were really cool.
was a fantastic character, and became a friend by ensuring we all had fun. He looked after and catered for everyone’s needs and requirements, promoting safety above all else, and more than once went the extra mile to ensure we all had a great time (joining myself at CrossFit and his traditional dance moves were personal highlights).
I hope he gets the recognition he deserves, as I would love to book a similar trip with Contiki in future because of this great experience.
I would also recommend that you include huacachina in future - I went there on my own and it was one of the coolest experiences - maybe this could be added as an extra at the beginning of the trip.

Very good tour. The places visited were very interesting and the scenery was magnificent. The hotels were good and the group of people we travelled with were lovely. would have to be the best tour guide we have ever had. Her passion for her job is infectious. Our driver was also amazing.

I love to make the most out of my trips so getting up early and go go go see everything I can in a small amount of time is my kind of adventure. My one piece of advice is to at LEAST do the "Pairs Plus" and the "Jungfraujoch" (the Alps in Switzerland) options. I know it is a lot of money but definitely 100% worth it, and you came all that way.
I have to give a huge shout out to Bobby our driver he made the trip for many of us with this sense of humour.
The only con that I had for the entire trip was the river rhine cruise in Germany. We drove along the river while our tour guide Steve told us all about the buildings, castles and the story of Lorelei. We then got on the cruise down the same river in the opposite direction and saw everything all over again.
I as well as many others in our group thought that it would have been time better spent to stop in little towns all the way to our hotel and experience Germany.
But all in all, it was a Fantastic trip.
The tour was great. Our guide Nadir was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The team was flexible and accommodating throughout the tour. Before booking, you should know that since they organize tours of different lengths from different sites, it will be easy for them to extend your stay if you want. The only downside was that on my trip the tour started and stopped on different days for different people. The hotels were good but not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel. Even so, I fully recommend this tour.
The coach, hotels & destinations were all great. The only issue would be to include some form of breakfast every day, even a basic ‘boxed’ breakfast, especially on early start mornings. Eventhough there are multiple stops, a breakfast with a muffin, a savoury item, juice/water & fruit, would ease the pressure on guests to find something nearby, within the time available. I appreciate Costsaver endeavour to minimise costs, but the guests are still having ‘out of pocket expenses’ & trying to find something, with limited time & outlets appropriate to their needs.
