THE ONE THAT FITS IN THE BEST OF EUROPE’S ICONS FOR THOSE SHORT ON TIME.

Short on time but want to fit in the best of Europe's icons? Broaden your horizons without compromising on the sightseeing. In 10 days we'll journey through 8 countries and fit in plenty of favourites, including Germany, Amsterdam, France & the Swiss Alps. We'll visit the canals & gable houses of Amsterdam, see the Eiffel tower lit up in a Paris by Night, jet through the canal highways of Venice in a private boat, and enjoy legendary Special Stays at our Austrian Gasthof and Swiss Chalet. The European Horizon is proof that adventures don't have to be epic in length to be epic in scope.

First Contiki, great trip, #EuHorizon

I enjoyed the add on activities. I dont think I would have organized so many variety of things on my own.

Our trip with Molly and Paulo was incredible - We has an amazing group and the trip was so well organised and ensured that everyone had the best time. Both Molly and Paulo went above and beyond and would 100% recommend travelling with them again.

Who wouldn’t book a Contiki!!

From the location to the activities, the European Horizon was an amazing trip. Even though it is a fast paced trip, it is well worth the late nights and early mornings. You want to be awake for every second, so you are truly able to appreciate the short time you have in every country!!

I am very happy with the contiki that I choose due to it fitted with my time off from work and because i got to see countries that always wanted to visit. The trip is fast paced but you are still able to explore and experience the culture of each country.

Good experience

The trip was great overall, a truly fantastic experience. Molly, our tour manager, was brilliant and warrants 5 stars for her enthusiasm and level of care. The accommodation was generally good. The only mildly negative point i have is for some of the 'Included Experiences', of which seemed to actually be a coordinated sales seminar with an organised kick-back scheme between the business and Contiki; I just felt like time could've been better spent at some of these locations that these were on. That aside, everything was generally great

For the amount that we paid, the accommodations and amenities were what we expected. The included food was better than expected as we sampled the local cuisines of each country along the way. Our favorite Contiki accommodation? was in Austria.

Great managers ,Dora and Parlo , and good overall trip. The only thing is the included activities which there aren’t many and some of the accommodation is not up to standard
