You’ll expand your horizons and see new ways of living with unique experiences, like learning to be a Gondolieri in Venice or dining in a restaurant that supports refugees in Austria. But Contiki is about more than the destination. It’s about the people, AKA your Contiki crew. Who you’ll build amazing connections with from the very first coach ride, and maybe even become BFFs for life.
