Amazing trip! Had such a good time thanks to our trip manager, Maddie. She really went above and beyond to ensure we had a special time, often adding in her own extras⭐️ jam packed 10 days with a lot of travelling but absolutely worth it, we seen everything we needed to see. Accommodation was great at every location except Vernon, would really recommend Contiki look into changing this in future.

Extremely fun tour.
Activities were great but full on. Felt like a fun school camp. Destinations were excellent, even some of the longer coach days were great because the views were amazing.
*personal info removed by Feefo* was our tour guide and did a fantastic job. All his recommendations were amazing and the extra spots to see some extra lakes were appreciated.
