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.

Please inform tour guide to inform hotel reception on next day plan, most places they are, but we almost missed first day bus since there were no instructions on start time next day in Barcelona.
Tour guide was fantastic and knowledgeable on everything from the history of where we were, to places to eat, to myths, legends and local stories. The driver was phenomenal and I have motion sickness which was never an issue with him behind the wheel. Would recommend to anyone who like me, wants a trip where they can just truly relax and enjoy knowing everything will go smoothly.
I love to make the most out of my trips so getting up early and go go go see everything I can in a small amount of time is my kind of adventure. My one piece of advice is to at LEAST do the "Pairs Plus" and the "Jungfraujoch" (the Alps in Switzerland) options. I know it is a lot of money but definitely 100% worth it, and you came all that way.
I have to give a huge shout out to Bobby our driver he made the trip for many of us with this sense of humour.
The only con that I had for the entire trip was the river rhine cruise in Germany. We drove along the river while our tour guide Steve told us all about the buildings, castles and the story of Lorelei. We then got on the cruise down the same river in the opposite direction and saw everything all over again.
I as well as many others in our group thought that it would have been time better spent to stop in little towns all the way to our hotel and experience Germany.
But all in all, it was a Fantastic trip.
Well organized and the trip manager was very knowledgeable and kind. The driver was amazing and kind as well. I felt safe and taken care of the whole trip.
