I wanted more of Austria, both the travel manager and bus driver were awesome! I think a little less time in Venice as it got a bit boring after 6 hours.

Ben was an Amazing Guide, Knowledgeable, but firm. I really enjoyed how easy he made everything. The only thing I would say is the tours with the sales pitch I could have done without.
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.

I have just got home from my cycle holiday in the Loire. It exceeded my expectations. The guide Pierre, was very knowledgeable and helpful. The bikes were good. The cycle paths were all excellent, a few quiet roads, I did not feel nervous or over challenged. There was variety and plenty of visits to Chateau’s, vineyards and wine tasting. The picnic lunches were all very French, which is all part of the experience, and Thomas made wonderful choices of where we had them. The level of cycling was accurate. The distances were comfortable. I will certainly be looking for my next trip with Exodus.

This was a great trip to explore each city. Personally, this felt a bit more independent type travel (exploring the city by yourself or if you made a friend with them) vs other Contikis (more time with the group). Hotels were great and fantastic locations (centrally located near metros and the main train station). Fantastic free time add ons as well.
The trip was well planned out and so very relaxing and enjoyable. The hotels and especially the food were awesome. Would absolutely take another trip like this.
