Sorry! The reviews aren't available for the chosen filter.

The trip it self and the locations were great, our manager didn’t spend much time with us in each location and when we were with her she told us about the problems she had with ppl in another Contiki trips which scared me to do things and changed my behavior, we had a lot of free time in each city which wasn’t great because every time we visit a different city the group split apart, I personally ended up alone several times so what’s the point on traveling in a group if everyone can do whatever they want separately. The group was very big 52 so my recommendation for other travelers is to find a smaller group of people and stick to them to travel together.

    It's great to hear that you enjoyed getting to see some of the cultural sights that Europe has to offer, and we hope that you've returned home with many lasting memories in tow. Having said this, we do note that there were a few aspects of your time away on the European Trail that may not have met your expectations, including the size of your group, the service provided by our Trip Manager and the itinerary. We certainly appreciate these concerns, and will be sharing them with our Operations Team for their consideration going forward. Here at Contiki, we're also looking for ways to improve our trips and make them even more unique, so thanks again for sharing your feedback.
I loved the trip manager Bryony, she was always super helpful and friendly. It was a scenic trip and not as full on as some of the European trips so that was great.
Activites and itinerary where great
