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).
Dive into a tapestry of European capitals with the 'Paris and Golden Capitals' tour, an 18-day sightseeing journey from Paris to Prague. Seniors will enjoy a thoughtfully organized itinerary that includes Berlin, London, Salzburg, and eight additional destinations across the Czech Republic, Austria, and France. With guided group travel, comfortable accommodations, and included meals, you’ll experience the continent’s historic and artistic treasures in comfort. The standout aspect of this tour is its extensive coverage of Europe’s golden capitals, offering a rich and varied exploration for those seeking both breadth and depth.
I think we could stay 1 day longer in some cities and maybe shorten the route, so we would be less on the road. With that we could repeat this wonderful trip.

The tour was well planned although too tiring at some points. Our tour guides were good but special mention for ANTONIO (guide in Rome onwards) and Emma (Paris). They were both fantastic, handling the group well making the trip even more enjoyable. Angeles/Angela was also hardworking, she has a lot of information to share. However, you may want to reconsider assigning her to english-speaking groups as she may not be that fluent in english yet and her heavy accent made what she is saying harder to understand.

The itinerary was great. We enjoyed the places we visited most especially Kitzbuhel. I also enjoyed the visit to the Swarovski museum. I wish we had more time in all the places we visited, but I look at this as a good reconnaissance for our next vacation back to Europe.
Hotel Albatros in Venice was the worst. Disorganized check in, room small cramped and smelled bad. Extremely small shower with inability to get warm water. It was either hot or cold. And water middle the floor less than a minute after the shower was turned on. This hotel should 1 and taken off your list of hotels.
