The schedules were good only suggestion I would give I during summer when day temp can touch 35C have the day schedules a bit later, e.g in Rome the city walk tour starts at 3pm, rescheduled that for a bot later say 5.30pm, I suppose everyone in our group will agree considering the fact that there are women and children in the tour. This is good feedback and it can be considered for the future.

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).
