5 nights in Hotel, 6 nights in Contiki Special Stay, 6 nights in Contiki Village, 3 nights in Hostel
At night, we'll be kicking back in some of the coolest accommodation options you'll ever encounter. Spend 2 nights in Contiki's very own French Château, another 2 in our Austrian Gasthof, 2 more in our Swiss Chalet, 6 in our cosy village cabins, 3 in funky hostels and 4 in hotels.

European Experience
Itinerary: The itinerary was good but I feel like there could have been more freetime in Rome and Paris. The Rome Colosseum tour was a literal waste of money because the guide did not give us any information. The cabins in Rome and Nice were a downfall but all other accommodation was great.
Trip Manager: Ryan was fantastic, he went over and above to make sure everyone had such a good time. He was so knowledgeable and took the time to answer our questions. He told us the best spots to go when we went to a new place and he was very approachable.

Highly recommend to young opened minded travelers
I didn’t realize how much the add-ons would cost. I don’t regret them but I wish there was a better heads up. The add-ons almost feel mandatory because you’re left with no real plans if you don’t do them.
