Literally the trip of a lifetime and I could’ve stayed longer with the people I met. I wasn’t sure contiki would be for me regarding the social aspect as my social battery can drain quickly however it absolutely exceeded my expectations in every way. I loved meeting my now new best friends and am still so sad that it’s over! The only bad part of the trip was saying goodbye. The care of our trip manager and driver was second to none, they went above and beyond for us on an organisation level as well as being so compassionate and checking in with how we are everyday. The free time add ons were all incredible, especially the paragliding and white water rafting in Austria. The Contiki Chateau and Contiki Haus were so memorable and a truly unique experience. I will never forget any of it and want to do it all again.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled.
(Even when we got lost)
The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative.
Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities.
Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
Paris: Take a dreamy jaunt around the city of romance. Fall in love with landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre, Champs-Élysées and Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Beaujolais: Be a VIP at the epic Contiki Château and fill up on a banquet of classic French dishes and wines. Ooh la la!
Beaujolais Wine Region: Set within the rolling hills of the Beaujolais wine region, the legendary Contiki Château special stay has been wowing travellers for decades. From the luxe bar to the elegant new bedrooms, our Château is the perfect backdrop to long summer days lounging by the pool, capped off with French feasts, local wine and dancing the night away in ‘La Cave.’
Beaujolais: Enjoy a French-style picnic while admiring the gorgeous Beaujolais countryside.
Beaujolais: Clear out the cobwebs and get in touch with you zen side with a guided yoga session on the sweeping lawns of the château.
Barcelona: Combat boots at the ready, folks! Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas are so cool, you won’t know what to photograph first!
French Riviera: Glide through the winding coastal roads of the French Riviera with your Contiki crew.
Monaco City: Walk in the footsteps of Grace Kelly at the Royal Palace and see the Monte Carlo Casino (where the car park looks like a Fast & Furious set).
Verona: This is the address behind the legendary love story. Visit Juliet’s House and see the spot that turned Verona into a global icon.
Nice: Your chance to learn the art of fragrance at a French perfume house. You know it makes scents! (soz).
Venice: Speed across the lagoon to the aqueous island of Venice.
Pisa: Your ultimate chance to ‘hold the tower up’ as you pose for that classic Insta snap.
Rome: Stroll around the Italian capital, ticking off some sights on your bucket list!
Amalfi Coast: Definitely one for the bucket list. Your chance to view one of Europe’s active volcanoes from a distance.
Corinth Canal: The world’s deepest canal is an epic sight. It was carved through the rock, as a link between the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
Athens: Take an orientation in this ancient metropolis of treasures, myths and legends. See the city’s past and present.
Mykonos: Paradise Beach in Mykonos is one of the most iconic beaches, not only in Greece, but in the world! And this resort is right on the beach. Think gorgeous sunset views and direct access to the beach.
Athens: Walk in the footsteps of Gods and Goddesses, as you take a guided tour around the Ancient Greek monuments and explore the Parthenon temple.
Athens: Even if you’re not a sports nut, this is probably the most iconic Olympic stadium in the world and you won’t want to miss it.
Mykonos: Recharge your batteries by relaxing on these famous sands with your new BFFs.
Dubrovnik: Stroll through the UNESCO-listed old town with a local guide. And play a game of ‘spot the Game of Thrones film set’ as you go.
Sarajevo: See the sights of the Bosnian capital and get up to speed on 500 years of history, from the Ottomans to the present day.
Plitvice Lakes National Park: Turquoise lakes. Sparkling waterfalls. Lush green forests. You’ll never want to leave this little slice of heaven.
Lake Bled: Take it easy with your new besties as you walk around the scenic lake, framed by the Julian Alps.
Ljubljana: Join your new gang for an orientation of Slovenia’s fairytale-like capital. Get your fix of rainbow architecture, Insta-friendly bridges and epic mountain backdrops.
Hopfgarten im Brixental: Join us in the cute lil Austrian Tyrol village of Hopfgarten, where you’ll find Haus Schöneck by Contiki. Next to one of the world’s largest ski regions, this traditional property has had a fresh facelift with all the modcons. We’re talking on-site sauna, Schnapps bar, communal lounge area, a shuttle to the main gondola. Hungry after a day on the slopes? Chow down on some warming locally sourced meals in our dining room.
Munich: We'll make a stop at a traditional Bavarian ‘Bier Halle’. Grab your Contiki crew and a beer. Prost!
Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site: Take a somber but impactful visit to the site of a World War II concentration camp in Munich.
Edam: Explore all the windmills, canals and dikes on two wheels.
Edam: Love cheese? Love clogs? Love learning too? Today is your lucky day. We'll visit a local farm where both cheese and clogs are made, and we'll get a demonstration of both. You'll also get to sample lots of cheese (and an aperitif too if you like).

What worked well about our trip was that before the trip even began we took it upon ourselves to meet up for drinks to allow ourselves to get the know each other a bit before the trip started. This was useful and and think it would be good for other groups to do as well because it meant that on day one we weren’t complete strangers and we had an idea of who a couple people were. The destinations that we went to everyday were breathtaking and even though we’re saw so much each day was a new adventure and experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. Going on the European Adventure allowed me to meet people who have now become life long friends that I can’t imagine my life without them while also allowing me to tick off placed on my bucket list that I never thought I would have been able to see. This trip had thought me so much not only about myself but also about Europe and the history of the world that we live in.

day 1London to Paris
Welcome to the first day of the best trip of your life - we're calling it early! After a few pleasantries in London we'll get the show on the road with Paris in our sights. A few hours in and your jaws are on the floor already. These chalk cliffs that edge the English coastline are known as the White Cliffs of Dover, the first of many natural beauties we'll see on our trip. After we ferry across the English Channel for France we'll arrive in Calais, where we will take in the history of World War I battlefields as we drive past the Valley of the Somme. We'll kick off our trip as we arrive in the glittering city of love, Paris. It's straight down to business where we'll bond with our Contiki fam over a delicious included dinner. After dinner, we will make our way through Paris to see the Eiffel Tower up close and personal, and spend the rest of the night watching her sparkle.
