THE ONE THAT GOES BIG AND BOLD, COVERING EVERYTHING FROM PARIS TO THE PYRAMIDS

From Serbia to Switzerland & Istanbul to Amsterdam, you're about to cover some serious ground. With included flights and ferries and enough activities to take your breath away, this is nothing short of a trip of a lifetime. And it's all topped off with a trip to the exotic lands of Egypt.

Wrap your taste buds around an abundance of scrumptious cuisines. As well as favourites like hearty Italian pasta and Spanish paella, you'll also sample unique offerings like Serbian sour chicken soup and Egyptian ful medames. Breakfast is on us every day, as well as 1 picnic lunch and 24 dinners.
Team
Expert Trip Manager, Driver and Local Guides
A highly trained Trip Manager who brings your adventure to life. An expert driver who knows foreign roads better than Google Maps. Local Guides who make tourist traps a thing of the past. This is your team. Smart, friendly, fun, and integral to everything we do.
Transport
All transport included during the trip
Included in your trip is transport across Europe on our fleet of comfy, state of the art coaches. They're kitted out with all the necessities: USB charge points, WiFi, Air Con and a rocking sound system. You bring the other essentials, like tunes, friendships and stories from the night before.
Your group
Travel with other 18-35 year olds from around the world
Our trips are exclusively 18-35. This means you'll be travelling with people just like you, from all over the world- laughter and friendships always guaranteed. For the Greek Island Hopping portion of this trip, you’ll join a smaller, selected group of travellers from your main Contiki crew.
Experiences
39 included, 29 optional that you can add
From the cobbled laneways of Paris to the deserts of Egypt, you'll be treated to the best every city has to offer. Think exploring ancient ruins in Greece, snaking through Venetian canals on a private boat and sailing the River Nile on a traditional felucca.

INCREDIBLE
This trip is amazing, we literally saw the best Europe had to offer over 45 days with the most incredible bunch of people. You do spend quite a lot of time on the bus and sometimes we didn't have the longest time in a city but that's what has to happen if you want to see 18 countries in 45 days!
Egypt was the highlight of my trip, the amount we saw and did in 7 days was crazy, such an amazing, historic country. Also had the best TM Scott and driver Ivan that we could have asked for, they really made the trip that much better! Would definitely do it again. #teamEGYPT #teampink

Trip of a Lifetime Doesn't Begin to Sum it Up!
I felt that I got my money's worth for what I paid for the trip. Certainly there were a few tweeks and/or enhancements that I think might be worthwhile considering, but overall I was very satisfied with my experience.

The Contiki tour that I attended was not value for money as the included food and accommodation was sub standard. The information provided was misleading and was highly disappointing when I started the trip.

Incredible, life changing
Out of all the trips the 45 days would have to be the best it gives you a bit more down time in more places and also allows you to get a taste of almost all of Europe. The price is also incredibley cheap and once you go on a trip with Contiki you will understand why. The friends and memories you will make are all things that will last a lifetime. Can you really put a price tag on something that gives you a lifetime experience?

Everything was great until our final stay in Amsterdam where we were put in a **** hole with bed bugs, whilst other shorter and cheaper tours stayed at the generator....put a sour taste at the end of an amazing trip
