I had an amazing time on this 9-day Italy trip! The itinerary was very well organized, covering so many highlights — from Rome’s Colosseum to Pompeii, Herculaneum, Positano, Sorrento, and Capri. It’s definitely an active trip with lots of walking, but such a great way to see and experience so much in a short time. The hotels were functional and well located, with the last one in Sorrento being especially beautiful with its sea views.
The absolute highlight, though, was our tour guide, Alessia. She went above and beyond every single day — knowledgeable, organized, enthusiastic, and always available if anyone needed something. You could tell she truly cared about making sure everyone had the best experience. The group itself was great, and thanks to Alessia, everything felt seamless and fun.
Highly recommend this trip if you want to see the highlights of Italy with a fantastic guide leading the way!

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).
