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.

We just got back from the Best of Europe (22 day tour) and it was an amazing experience, but group travel is not for everyone. If you want to meet new people to explore Europe with & can handle being on a schedule - then group travel is for you. If you want to isolate yourself, have trouble with compromise, and are looking to complain about your fellow travelers and the tour guide - then group travel is not for you.
Emma (tour guide) was amazing and reminded professional throughout the tour. She was always willing to answer questions and give a quick history & language lesson about the different cities in Europe. She made the entire trip enjoyable and manageable as she is an excellent communicator.
As for the tour itself, there are a lot of cities and, at times, it's hard to keep them straight - but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This tour gives you a good sense of what Europe is like and where one may want to visit again. The local tour guides were very good for the most part

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.
This was an amazing trip. The itinerary gave us a fabulous view of the UK. I especially enjoyed our time in Wales. The scenery was incredible, and staying in a castle made it even more magical.
It was excellent and we saw heaps.
Would like to have had time to see Shakespeare’s grave in church before we went to museum as church was closed by the time we got back to hotel.
An extra night in Liverpool

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.

DO NOT GO ON THIS TRIP if you're not ok with joining a group that has already been happily travelling together for a week. This is NOT a standalone trip, you're joining partway through on the European Trail.

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.
