Travelling to Europe with Contiki on the Ultimate European and Egypt tour was, by far, one of the BEST decisions I’ve ever made. During my initial browse through the Contiki brochure, I contemplated a few different tours – The Original, the European Adventurer and the European Contrasts tour – but for me the big deal clincher was the chance to travel through Egypt, a country I’d hoped to visit since learning about it in Ancient History.

I travelled in March last year, which also gave me the opportunity to stay overnight at ANZAC Cove in the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey and attend the ANZAC Day Ceremony and it was amazing. Some of the highlights were the gorgeous Contiki Chateau in France, eating authentic pasta in Italy and sleeping on the overnight train in Egypt.
I loved experiencing Turkey’s culture and walking through the snow at the top of Jungfrau in Switzerland. Be sure to check out the Anne Frank House Museum in Amsterdam and go white-water rafting and paragliding in Austria. Need I say more?
