Seeing all the ancient wonders, eating amazing food and exploring great cities with an awesome group of people just makes the best memories. Everything was so easy and well organised. Highly recommend
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.
