The trip was awesome! Got to stay for 2 nights in most of the places we went which was good as it felt more relaxed while we were on the trip, however you keep finding that it's never enough time in certain places, so it is a good taster for seeing different cities and figuring out places you would like to see more of later. We did all find that we got sick during the trip, because of the time spent together in the coach and the constant late nights and early mornings so watch out for that.

The trip was absolutely fantastic, it was my first contiki and the first time that I traveled with a tour group and it was absolutely amazing. I can not stop talking about it and the memories will truly last a last time. I know it’s mostly out of your control but a more hearty breakfast would be nice e to start the day. But other than that the accoms were nice was absolutely amazing and I would book another contiki just to have him as my tour manager again.

Had a great time doing the island hop tour, the group really made it that extra special. Majority of the hotels were in great locations.
The visit to the local farm was a huge highlight, the food was just delicious there.
Definitely pack water shoes as all the beaches are rocky, like actual rocks that can be quite sharp, not just pebbly.
And unfortunately all the walks are done in the middle of the day, so definitely bring a good sized water bottle
