10/10 recommend joining the contiki fam
The Contiki TM and Driver we were blessed with was outright awesome, can’t credit those 2 lads enough ??
Wine in the glorious town of Italy to sinking beers and shoeys in front of the Eiffel Tower and on the pristine beaches of Greece
Coming from this first time traveller, this trip is absolutely amazing and I’d recommend it to anyone

This trip is such a good way to see all the main points of Europe. From the hill of France, to the beached of the Greek islands, the Ultimate European is the best way to see Europe!

My trip through Europe & Egypt was amazing. I had the best time of my life. It was super fast paced at points, which is to be expected but it can get a bit much sometimes, but it is so worth it for everything else that comes with the trip.
Our trip manager was amazing and was there to help at any time of the day, for any reason. He was constantly on the go but was always so positive and kept everyone in good spirits throughout the whole time. We were also fed a load of information about every place that we visited and taken to cool spots I would probably never have thought to have gone if I was solo travelling.
The accomodation is varied but always either nice or super convenient. The times that we stayed in cabins at campgrounds were the best fun.
Going to Egypt with Contiki is something that I'm really happy with myself for doing because I felt so safe the whole time. It's a place that I've really wanted to see my whole life but I knew it would have been such a mess to plan by myself or travel to without the help of a trusted guide.
I'm really glad that I did this trip and my experience with Contiki definitely exceeded my expectations but if I had one tip for anyone that was doing the same trip, it would be that you need a fair bit of money if you want to do all of the add on activities + have spending money. Sounds obvious but you'll probably definitely want to spend more money than you originally thought once you're actually there.

My trip manager was the best you could ask for. His knowledge for every country was unbelievable. Could not ask for anyone better. My driver was so professional and the best. The trip it self was life changing, an adventure, and a once in a life time opportunity. I’ve had the time of my life, met so many amazing people.

Trip of a lifetime, it was absolutely amazing!! Definitely recommend doing it!! Wish it was longer though! The included activities + add ons were all worth it!! Our trip manager was the best, always motivational + going above and beyond to make our experience amazing! I recommend getting your Egyptian visa upon arrival, I got mine online prior to the trip and it was a lot more expensive online!!!

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.
