Highlights

Dover: See the iconic chalk-white coastline. So special that it’s had songs dedicated to it.

Sankt Goar: Take a scenic glide down the river, past fairytale castles, Baroque spires and timbered German houses.

Dinkelsbühl: Seatbelts on! Today we're driving along 'Romantische Straße' AKA Germany's most scenic route, winding through picturesque medieval towns, fairy-tale castles, and breathtaking landscapes.

Munich: Discover the best of Munich local-style on a guided walking tour of the city. Our expert local guide will give you the lowdown on the Bavarian capital's history, visiting all the important central sites including the Marienplatz, the two Town Hall buildings & the Residenz (the former palace of the Bavarian kings.) Later, loop back to the city centre & if you're feeling up for it, keep it moving with a fun night out.

Munich: We'll make a stop at a traditional Bavarian ‘Bier Halle’. Grab your Contiki crew and a beer. Prost!

I really enjoyed the trip. From meeting new people to seeing new places, it was one of the best experiences. was incredible and I really appreciate the effort she put in to making our trip perfect, and keeping us informed about every new location we went to.

It was An amazing trip to see a peak of the world in a short amount of time, I just wish it was longer. Then at the end of the trip, we all finally started to get a long, which then it was a goodbye. But it was amazing to see Italy. Loved every minute of it. Contiki is such a safe way to see the world while your young, and to make life long friends

The stays in rural areas in Germany and Switzerland were highlights at night. Having a drink and chat with the whole group togther. Pretty much all activities were great.

I was expecting more of a tour not just commendation but a tour of historical landmarks and museums.

AnonymousOn Jul 23, 2025

Absolutely loved all the places and made so many new friends. I wish we did 2 nights in Switzerland instead of 1 because it was beautiful and maybe only 1 in venice

It was a perfect amount of time for a first real backpacking trip! I managed to see so many places in such little time and as soon as we reached day 10 I just wanted to keep going! The tour manager and bus driver looked after all of us really well and I made friends for life!

I gave five stars only because the driver, Trip manager and fellow travelers were 11 out of 10 absolutely fantastic people to travel with. The accommodations were pretty good how ever hostels aren't my thing. Finally I would suggest joining the group in Amsterdam to avoid being up at 5am for the ferry.

Fantastic time away. Really well organised & excellent trip leaders. Would highly recommend .

Hannah M.On Jul 9, 2025

Was an incredible trip. Our trip manager and driver did such an amazing job of touring us around Europe, making sure we had the history of the town, getting us to our destination safely and helping us out with activities to do. put lots of effort into our day sheets and maps to make sure we got the most of our time in each city. I definitely got the most out of the 10 days because of and

I had an amazing time on the European Horizon contiki tour. 10 days was a great length for my first contiki. The locations, included activities, optional add-ons and friends made were my biggest highlights. My trip manager had excellent recommendations for restaurants, bars, clubs and cultural sights. I made some lifelong friends and experienced things I never would have if I had travelled on my own without Contiki ie. wine tasting in Sankt Goar, seeing all of Austria from a mountain, visiting a cheese and clog farm in Amsterdam. The only downside to the trip was the amount of driving in the coach - the first day was exceptionally long and I would recommend meeting the group in Amsterdam.

Declan J.On Jun 30, 2025

The trip couldn’t have been run better my . Each and every day was planned perfectly. I have made friends for life on this trip and look forward to planning our next trip with them. was an awesome driver also. Both of them deserve pay rises.

Jack N.On Jun 27, 2025

the trip manager was phenomenal, made the trip a lot of fun and had great recommendations for downtime periods. Some of the places and sites seen were breathtaking and places you’d never book if going in alone. Can’t recommend and contiki enough
