I wasn't the only one who wanted to leave my tour!

26 Nov 2010 CameraON said

After doing much research after returning from my tour, I learned about many customers who left their tours in disappointment, and I assume there are many out there who desperately wanted to leave their tour but did not. This is RED FLAG contiki, if you have customers leaving there tours and returning home. You must really sit down, listen to your clients, and correct your mistakes. If people are willing to leave a tour after spending thousands of dollars which is not refundable, your company has many flaws. I will never be recommending a Contiki tour to anyone after my nightmare traveling with Contiki

I am curious to know why you wanted to leave your tour? You say you want contiki to correct their mistakes but you don’t give any reason as to what was wrong with your trip.

Personally if you understand what contiki is all about and dont expect it to be like an independent holiday you’ll have fun… Curiosu to know why you hated it though

Why would you research AFTER your tour?
Isn’t that something that you would do before it so you know what your getting yourself into?

Hi CameraON, are you able to say what went wrong with your tour? I am currently in the process of booking with Contiki and am really keen for feedback – wether it is good or bad

I have read all the reviews so i have heard all the good and bad aspects of contiki. Interesting enough i can’t find a single tour company that doesn’t have a complaint about it. I guess if you go awear of what could go wrong and just take every situation one step at a time and just make the most of your holiday and ignore all the rest then the should be no reason to leave. I have specific things that i want to see and nothing is going to make me want to leave the tour

I have been reading many reviews these last few days as I want to have realistic expectations when my tour starts in July. I guess most of the bad reviews focus on false advertising and bad recommendations (for optionals) also many complaints are of the tour managers’ attitudes….I guess your experience is based on not only your expectations and attitude but also the attitudes of the other tour members as well as the tour manager…I really really hope my tour has a cool manager cos I don’t wanna regret this trip

I had such a great time that I didn’t want to leave my tour when it was over!!! I had a great tour manager and coach driver though, a cool roommate and there was a great group ambiance! Other than two really annoying girls who were always late and making all of us (49 people!) wait… we had a blast! :)

Do research before, because it’s always better to lower your expectations and be exalted later though. Or, reserve any possible tickets that might not be included to avoid any lineups later! :)
