No value for money in terms of must see sights being included in the trip price. You would think tours to the colosseum or the final dinner would be included in the price. Instead, travellers are expected to pay a significant amount of extra money for free time add ons that should actually be no regrets inclusions.

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!

Quest to London

My first and last impressions of contiki were poor. Throughout the tour I experienced cockroaches in my bed, flooded bathrooms, blood stained sheets, carrying laggauge up five flights of stairs due to consistent maintanence requirements and several people including myself catching bed bugs from different rooms. All this from hostels that are supposed to be hand picked for their 'uniqueness'.
All of the included meals were basic and tasteless, one night we were given a plate of lettuce which to my disgust the person sitting next to me had a caterpillar in his meal.
From the map of the trip provided it seems as though you spend two days in destinations but really you're left spending more time on the bus then exploring the destinations due to a full day always being taken up by travel.
I also felt a constant threat to be back at the bus instead of enjoying the scenery as the TM was inconsistent with departure times, sometimes we would depart 10-15 minutes early without even doing a headcount.
This along with several other things is why it will be my first and last contiki. #plentyofregrets

This was not my first Contiki, so I knew of its reputation of having its fair share or partying, especially given the demographics. Nonetheless, I was taken back by the lack of respect travelers showed for the culture & religion of the countries traveled to given they are indeed more conservative Buddhist countries. Yes, we are adults, but the poor behavior went unaddressed by the trip manager and was offensive to the local citizens. I found myself embarrassed to be associated with Contiki on several occasions, including when female travelers posed nude on a mountain top directly in front of the trip manager and uncomfortable Buddhists shielding their eyes. The trip manager should have addressed cultural insensitivity numerous times and did not. That gives Contiki a bad reputation as well.
In addition, many of the stops seemed rushed and were check the box items, such as the Added Waterfall Optional and not allowing time to even get to the top level where rope swings are. At least find time for that if you’re already at the waterfall and paying extra.
All in all, I was a bit disappointed and embarrassed. Would definitely tell people to think considerably about what they want out of the experience and where they’re going. For more conservative countries I would suggest not to use Contiki.

Fantastic trip. Got to see heaps (some places I had been to before and some I hadn’t). Would have liked more time in the bigger cities but that is only a minor thing.
