Best bang for your buck. The only way to see as much of Europe as we did in 18 days. Often times you do not have very much time in certain cities/towns, but the travel directors do their best to make sure you hit the highlights and have a good experience. You just have to know going in that this is an introductory trip to all the wonders of Europe. That being said, we had a fantastic time. No real complaints other than feeling short on time in some locations,, as expected. Would highly recommend for someone’s first experience in Europe and I even enjoyed it as a repeat traveler as this tour went to some unique places such as Saint Paul de Vence and Colmar. Optional excursions were also all excellent and included meals at hotels were surprisingly good.
Had two goats ( and ) that made my contiki the best experience possible. The driving and greetings every morning were absolutely phenomenal and the guide yapped so much I gained knowledge of each and every single city:). Which I am super grateful for, I can now offer history lessons to anyone. Nah but seriously an absolute legend who made travelling Europe the ultimate dream. Radiated good vibes every second of the day which allowed me to feel completely safe in countries I’ve never been to. Not a second went by where I felt like my needs, welfare and happiness were not met. They both truly made this experience enjoyable and stress free so big thanks to them. Having had them as my on road team I know I’ll be back on more contiki’s in the future. Forever wishing them the best as well as in his next race.
Think just over a week isn't enough to get a good look at Europe? The London to Barcelona Quest is here to prove you wrong. Experience the contrast of the bustling city of Barcelona to the wine region of Bordeaux & the seaside San Sebastian to the monuments & museums of Paris. When you uncover France & Spain, you've truly entered the world of Europe.
This trip was a once in a lifetime, bucket list trip. We wanted to see Europe and found this tour to be exceptional. Our Travel Director - *personal info removed by Feefo* ensured that everything ran smoothly and efficiently. His vast experience allowed him to plan and revise plans to maximize our exposure to each of the areas through which we were travelling. His incredible knowledge of the areas and his entertaining stories and videos provided the background knowledge we needed to more fully appreciate the regions that we were in. His "little surprises" such as licorice, chocolates, Schnapps and Limoncello were the cherry on top of fabulous excursions, that solidified memories, as we left and embarked on our next adventure.
We also appreciated the flexibility of the tour to allow us to explore additional areas of interest of the group along the way e.g., touring Notre Dame, early one morning, before we moved on.
*personal info removed by Feefo* made a point of getting to know everyone individually and his personal touches helped each of us to maximize our enjoyment and comfort throughout the trip. He personalized the travel music and movies to suit his riders, often highlighting music from the areas of the world from wens we were from. The morning routines of introducing the travellers at the front and our morning tune - On the Road Again, will forever be a favourite and a reminder of the fun we had on the Coach no matter how long we were travelling that day.
Words do not do this experience justice. Trafalgar's motto of Making Travel Matter, added a depth to many of the experiences, as we experienced Family run businesses and learned how they contribute and support the local economy above and beyond the aspect of tourism.
I would highly recommend this tour and want to thank our
Travel Director, *personal info removed by Feefo* for making our first trip to Europe a trip we will remember fondly forever.
This tour was so much fun. Learnt a lot, met a lot of new friends, and had a ton of fun. Would highly recommend this tour, and to travel through Europe in general.
Rhi Smith did a fantastic job as tour director and Domenico was a great amazing driver.
Very busy tour but covered so much and learnt so much about each country
The ultimate collision of history and modernity happen here in the arms of Eastern Europe. 8 days will jive you from London to Vienna, passing by windmill lands, gothic spires and some of the best partying cities on the European map.
Travel through landscapes that have inspired world-famous writers and poets, from Shakespeare to Robert Burns. On this journey across England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, you’ll admire medieval castles and cathedrals, wander past the famous Chester Rows and kiss the Blarney Stone. The idyllic settings of the Lake District, Dingle Peninsula and the Cotswolds give way to vibrant capitals and the little-known train station with the world’s longest name.
The tour was fabulous. We saw most of the highlights we expected and some we had not thought about. The tour was fast paced but very well managed by Francesca. Kevin was a great driver. I would highly recommend this itinerary to anyone who is looking for a tour of all of the of the highlights of the British Isles.
This was a busy itinerary which gave us the opportunity to visit several places that we have been dreaming of seeing. Our tour director was fabulous. He communicated the schedule for the day and we didn’t feel stressed, instead we enjoyed the many beautiful cities
Coast to coast, city to city, the European Quest is el perfecto! Balancing everything we love about being in Europe. Stunning days spent on the coast of San Sebastian, cultured nights bar hopping in Prague, and enough time in Italy to leave you up to your eyebrows in pizza.
