Learn to Dive

It was an amazing experience - we had the best tour manager and I met the most amazing people

This group was small and allowed me to get to know everyone on the tour and the included options were different to other yours I've been in which allowed for me to try new things that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own.

great value for what we recieved

The value was negated by the fact that we were pressured into spending extra money at every turn. The pressure to up size at the eateries was bad enough but the pressure to spend $300, $400 or even $500 extra on dive equipment and the pressure to spend more money to upgrade our trip once we were captive on the boat was appalling. I assume they were trying so hard to make us spend money because they would earn extra commission and not because it was genuinely going to enhance our trip.

London to Berlin was my first trip with Contiki. The group as whole was really great and everyone was really friendly. There was also a really good age range; anywhere from 20 to 34. The tour itinerary had a decent mix of free time and add ons. The best ad ons by far were the Eat Withs that we did in Amsterdam and Berlin. If your looking for a true local experience I highly recommend doing these! Finally, our trip manager Faith was awesome! She definitely made us all feel like part of the Contiki family. You could tell that she truly loves what she does and wants her travelers to have the best experience possible. I will definitely travel with Contiki again!

paid more than what i expected

Very average and overpriced

I feel like for what I paid, more opportunities, meals, and transportation should have been included. This was my first time traveling abroad so I am glad I went with a tour groups, especially Contiki because compared to other companies, this was the best price. But I know if I would have done it alone, it would have been a lot cheaper for what I received from the package. Overall, I had a blast and met some of the best people.

As for the price of the trip itself, it was good but I always feel like there should be more included activities, rather than free time add-ons we have to pay for ourselves.

This trip was unforgettable! This style of tour is great because you get to spend more time exploring each city, with less time on the bus. Additionally, accommodation in each city is in hotels, making your stay extra comfortable.The me-time optional activities were great, and really allowed you to tailor your trip (albiet, not included = extra money). I would recommend this trip to anyone, and am already looking forward to planning my next contiki!

I can’t believe all the stuff we crammed into these two weeks. Between the included tours, add-one which I did plenty of. And the additional free time on our own events I did with other tour members I feel this trip was truly perfect

Well priced for what was included, the free time adds seemed to be rather costly though.
