This was the best month of my whole life! Every single day was packed with amazing experiences that I would never think to do if I was planning my own trip. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat if I could!

I would skip this contiki and maybe just do specific countries you're interested in. The schedule was jam-packed with temple visits which were often very similar to one another. The Vietnam portion of the trip was party heavy which was a huge contrast to the front end of the trip.

I booked so last min, maybe 5 days before the trip but had lots of help from the contiki team who went above and beyond This trip was honestly the best time of my life- as corny as that sounds. I've never been away from home/family this long, but spending a month with these strangers was the best

Everything was amazing. Everything felt so seem less and loved every activity. Our contiki guide *Personal information removed by Feefo* was fantastic and definitely made the experience
