Best of USA

To expensive! To much free time. It didn't feel like a group trip. Also you had to pay for a lot of extra's otherwise you had a lot of free time.

So apparently my group was the “guinea pigs” of this updated tour as we were the first ones to do it. The places itself was amazing but the problems relief with the tour. There was absolutely no communication between contiki and myself. Half of the group didn’t even receive emails regarding how the group was meeting on the night before the tour commenced etc. There was not many activities that were set in stone that were advertised and promised. For example the Bahamas was surprisingly included in the Miami section of the trip & we were promised that we could go jet skiing and snorkelling, there was nothing on the island only 1 restaurant it was a huge disappointment. In LA, we expected to go to the Hollywood sign with the tour.. YOU DO NOT!! We were so disappointed with that. Our tour guide wasn’t very helpful either, he just brought a friend to places for free and relaxed with him. Every day apparently was a free day - they hand you a clip board with activities and if you want to do it you write your name down. Note: once you write your name it means you’ve paid for it on the spot! So think before you write! The whole group was disappointed with this trip as we had higher expectations.

Kade (trip manager) was awesome good fun, people on the trip were amazing aswell, activities were good however free time was best

The trip itself was great. But the contiki tour guide was very unprofessional. We hardly ever saw him and when we did. He didn’t take his job very seriously. He brought his friend on our party boat in Miami. And to the Bahamas which I thought he was very unprofessional. Considering he was meant to be our tour guide.

Contiki should provide better accomodation - location wise. Should have been clearer on booking that contiki is a budget line. Tour guide was uninterested in socialising with group, didnt make any effort to speak to myself or partner or even ask us our names. City tours were great and tour guide knowledge was great too

I would recommend contiki to any new travellers that haven’t left the county before and it’s a great experience and good way to see new places. It’s very hard doing it solo though as you can get excluded but won’t let it dampen me doing another Contiki!

Great value for money. Am looking forward to doing it again

The best decision I have made

The best value for money the locations and quality of the hotel were better than expected

It delivered what it promised, truly the best of the U.S.A.

Safety wise in San Fransisco. Its nice to know they have moved the trip to Miami over the new season. It was what made the trip a downer.

Got to see both coasts of America and lots was included in the package eg. flights, accommodation, some meals and city tours

The trip itself was perfectly priced when looking at the variety of hotels we stayed at and the flights that we took to get to each location

The tour I did was worth the money paid because basically everything was sorted and organized for me.

Expensive but worth it!!!

Couldn’t beat it doing it ourselves

Best trip ever, no long bus rides yet still heaps of fun.

Great trip and great activity

This trip was everything I wanted it to be! Although 3 days wasn’t enough to see every place, I did make a good start. I’m ready to go back to places I visited and it’s only been 2 weeks. I would recommend the Best of USA tour to anyone!
