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).
The trip for good overall in terms of selection of locations and excursions. We thoroughly enjoyed it with few exceptions
Hotel at Prague as NOT good and wasnt accommodating
Hotel at Innsbruck was pathetic and same was the breakfast
The breakfast at Vienna had huge queue and was very inconvenient
The choice of hotel at Budapest was perfect in all aspects
We faced huge issues in getting simple documentation for our visa and the team was NON CO-OPERATING
If I ignore the above points stated, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip . THANK YOU
