Feedback from guests who toured England during October.
Harrison Co | Traveled in October
Fantastic trip, I met so many peoples who were amazing on this trip, and went to so many beautiful places and made memories that will keep me going back in 40 years time
Tonya J. | Traveled in October
Tour was perfect for my husband and I. We enjoyed the sites and also that were had free time in each city! Most memorable moment was dinner in the Eiffel Tower.
Chelsea | Traveled in October
This was the trip of a lifetime—it opened up the world to me and gave me more confidence to solo travel. I LOVED having the itinerary planned out and all of the logistics handled by our excellent trip manager. It helped me turn my brain off and truly enjoy my vacation. Also was so relaxing to travel between cities by train. We had the perfect balance of planned activities and free time that helped us pack just the right amount of action into each city. I especially loved Free Time Add-Ons like the Moulin Rouge and a bonus cruise on the Seine to see the Eiffel Tower shine (arranged by our trip manager when our plans hit a snag!) Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to explore and connect with others!
Melanie A. | Traveled in October
Would highly recommend, this Contiki was a great taste of each country if you aren’t able to commit to longer trips. Our trip manager and coach driver were amazing. Definitely helped with all the organisation and communication that they did. Can not wait to go on another contiki soon!!
Tamra F. | Traveled in October
Our tour was absolutely fantastic and our tour manager, Gail, was great with our entire group of 25 from WPSU Public Television in Pennsylvania. Most of the accommodations were fabulous and the local tour guides were also excellent. Larry, Lyndon, and Mark were all area experts that really know their history. I especially loved touring the moors with Mark and learning about the history of standing stones and lay lines. My only suggestion would be staying 3 days at each location instead of just two, especially at Bovey Castle, which was really lovely but we didn't have time to explore the grounds or do any of the excursions they offer. All in all it was a wonderful trip!
Anonymous | Traveled in October
Excellent organisation on all aspects of the tour from Edinburgh to London. Excellent staff with their historical knowledge, care and support. Great group of participants from Australia, Canada and USA.
