Austria Tours in January 2027

Sooo fun! Contiki makes everything so easy. Other fun activities are always planned like the rollercoaster on the mountain and night skiing. I went for nye and the celebration was at the top of the mountain… an unforgettable experience!

We were allowed a nice amount of time on our own which was great. Our tour manager had great suggestions for activities we might enjoy during our free time. The planned activities were well organized and well thought out to give us a great experience. The hotels were very nice. Our bus and bus driver were awesome.

WE LOVED THE DANUBE RIVER CRUISE WITH THE PRAGUE EXTENSION AND THE CHRISTMAS MARKETS. OUR TOUR MANAGER MIRNA WAS THE BEST. WE LEARNED NEW THINGS ABOUT THE AREA WE VISITED

The Markets were magical and the Alps amazing with snow. Making strudel with the group.. .horse and buggy ride with sheepskin blankets and schnapps. Castles, and painted art on homes in Obberamagau... Amazing everything!!!!

Absolutely excellent tour! Carmen was an amazing tour guide, very informative of all the towns we visited, very knowledgeable of historical facts. She is kind and patient with everyone in the group. I loved the variety of towns we got to visit. The hotel was great as we're their meals. All the meals included in the tour were wonderful with being able to select from the local culture.

Positives: Our guide Dioni was amazing She was very friendly and provided us great information, she even went out of her way to take us to the famous perfume store in Cologne. She made the trip such a positive experience. I really enjoyed the cruises organised for us and was happy that we were given a local guide in each city. I enjoyed the tours around the cities, and also loved attending the concert in Vienna optional activity, and the cheese factory in Amsterdam. Overall I really enjoyed the trip and felt it was a great way to travel around Europe and see the major sites in the cities we visited. The bus was very comfortable. Negatives: Our other guide Monsie was quite cold and disengaged. I believe she told a fellow passenger to go away when they asked her a question. Monsie also left a passenger behind on a day trip as he was not at the bus on time. She did not tell us there was wifi on the bus. However, she did provide good information. I was disappointed that not all the optional activities listed on the website were available. I also felt that the quality of the hotels differed a lot. Some were really nice and others were small airport hotels far away from the main city. I wish we could have had longer in each city, it was quite rushed.
