Disappointed that two of the free time add ons were removed between booking my trip and arriving. I think that the remaining add ons were amazing but need night activities instead of just going to bars.

The tour manager was absolutely phenomenal. Her knowledge of the area was outstanding, she knew a place to eat for all of our needs at the time. Our free time was always filled with outstanding outings she would book for us.

Canada & the Rockies
Christopher Bryan
This was my 6th Contiki and I would definitely put Canada and the Rockies in my top 3. Alex was awesome, well organised and gave great alternative options for those who did not want to take part in activities or if the activity was cancelled due to weather conditions. Great nights out where appropriate as a group. The drives between destinations were not too long (3/4 hours max). Location of hotel/lodges were excellent in quality - especially Banff. If you dislike jaw dropping mountain ranges and fun activities, this trip might not be for you. ;)
All included meals and activities were fantastic and the guides really helpful.
Overall, would recommend to anyone at any time of the year!!
Now on to #7 ... :)

Trip was amazing! Trip manager Jess was amazing, organized and professional. Activities chosen were well chosen and gave travellers a great taste of the region/culture/history. A small travel group meant more intimate time to bond with other travellers. Great experience!

Wonderful experience that I would 100% do again, however there are a few places I would probably prefer to not go to and be able I spend more time in bigger places such as Munich or Switzerland as we didn’t have a lot of time here

I understand that we need to have stop overs in some places but during the tour I felt we could have had better destinations especially towards the end. The dinner got worse and worse as the trip went along too. Some of the included activities were good not that there were many but the side activities where you’d pay extra at the end were not worth it at all, the money nor the time. Our tour guide did always get us to our hotels on time, was quite informative in regards to the places we were going and history behind it. Her professionalism was completely terrible, I felt that she never helped anyone on the trip, if we got sick, someone lost their money, another lost their phone, if we didn’t want to do the things she was suggesting she did not help on any terms. She avoided us even. Would roll her eyes if we asked her a question or too many. She was sleeping on the bus when people were asking questions, she was hungover half the time, she would only help/ be attentive to the people she thought were cool or would ‘drink’. When it came to giving tips and reviews she didn’t get what she thought she would so she was upset and bitching to some of the girls about it. She was far from professional, she was there to help, guide and I felt she did none of the above. I think it’s terrible she was reading our reviews. I honestly could keep going. With another tour manager it may have been better but she made it harder. Our bus driver made it better though!

One of the best Europe trip Contiki has to offer. Two days in every location meant you had plenty of time to see the sights and you didn't feel like you were constantly on the road.
25 days was the perfect amount of time to create amazing friendships and get a detailed look at Europe.

Cape, Safari & Falls
Bradley Savage
Everything was amazing. The trip schedule, the FTA’s, the organisation and most of all the trip manager were incredible. I loved every second, and was able to relax and take in an awesome place and spend time with brilliant people thanks to the TM’s hard work. Long drives seemed to fly by. Talks were captivating. Unfortunate surprises (and we had a few of them) were dealt with positively, professionally and efficiently. I would definitely recommend it, Africa wasn’t on my list of ‘travel to do’s’ and I’d always arranged my own trips before, but after this, I’m already looking at the Okavango Delta trip through Contiki. Alfie was an absolute legend and along with Kyle and Jessie, they made the trip what it was.

Grand Southern (Start New York City)
Anonymous
Amazing experience! Starting in NYC is definitely an advantage - you gain time traveling across to the west coast. Locations are fantastic apart from maybe two single night stays (which are now updated in the new GS), all the hotels were quite good, some fantastic. Meal inclusions really good!
Some places there is definitely not enough time, I’d have preferred one night in DC and 3 nights in Orlando so I could organise Disneyworld out of my own pocket. So much to do in Orlando - outlets, Universal, Disneyworld.
It would be even better if some time was included in LA to do Disneyland if it’s not possible in Orlando, even if it was a one night stay.
Tour Manager had exceptional knowledge of all our destinations and gave terrific food recommendations, local insights and suggested activities.
Starting the trip in Sept, I would definitely suggest a lot more singlets/tanks and shorts or dresses. It got extremely humid in the south east. The only time it was cool/cold was Grand Canyon.
Prepare yourself for a whole days travel on the coach, stopping every couple of hours. Be prepared to make yourself comfortable on the coach, neck pillow, jumper (as it got cold with the AC). Some places when you do stop, you don’t get a lot of time to get lunch, toilet break and get snacks/browse shops (we learnt we needed to get organized before we got off to get everything we wanted), mainly towards the end of the trip. Most of us used our time on the coach to sleep anyway.
The free time add ons are fantastic as well, before putting your name on the list though, research the area in case there is somewhere special you would like to visit instead so you get the most out of short stays.
All in all, I highly recommend Grand Southern for the amazing memories and new friends you make, it’s incredibly hard to say goodbye at the end and you’ll definitely want to come back to the States.
Thanks Contiki
