Contiki - Cypress, California

I took a Contiki on their European Horizons trip and had the best time! Having never been to Europe before, now I can say I’ve been to 7 countries in just 11 days. I went by myself too, since my friends never made it out of the group chat, and going on a Contiki was a great way to travel solo since you end up bonding with a great group of people. It was great making friends from all over the world all the while having amazing experiences together. Will be taking another Contiki soon!!

My daughter wanted to go on a European Adventure by herself after her college graduation. We researched a ton of travel companies and ended up with Contiki since they had age limits for my daughter to be around people similar in age.

While as a mom I was scared and excited for this adventure for her, Contiki was the best decision. They sent detailed iterineraries and my daughter had the absolute time of her life. Though the bus had early departures and a lot of drive time between countries, she got to see and experience so much. And she met friends and memories she will have for a lifetime.

Would highly recommend.

Just got back from the most incredible adventure with Contiki, and I can’t stop raving about it! If you're looking for a mix of culture, fun, and new friends from all corners of the globe, the Greek Island Hopping trip is where it's at! We visited Mykonos, Santorini, and Ios, each with its own unique charm. Mykonos was the ultimate party spot with vibrant nightlife and beautiful beaches. Ios had the most breathtaking sunsets I've ever seen, and Santorini’s blue-domed buildings and crystal-clear waters were straight out of a postcard. The Contiki team was fantastic, always there with a smile and ready to help. They ensured we were immersed in local culture, with authentic Greek meals, fascinating historical tours, and even a chance to learn traditional Greek dancing! I met an amazing group of travelers from all over the world, and by the end of the trip, we were like one big, happy family. So, if you're considering a trip with Contiki, do it!

Went on European Magic and had a great time. It's a perfect trip if you have limited PTO and want to check a bunch of destinations off your Europe bucket list. I couldn't believe how much we were able to see in just 9 days (7 countries)! It was also my first experience on a guided tour and as someone who is pretty independent as a traveler, I appreciated the convenience and ease of getting around with a reliable Trip Manager. What a great mental break 🙂

I have nothing but the BEST things to say about traveling with CONTIKI!! It's because of CONTIKI that I got bit by the travel bug and am making it my life's goal to take every opportunity to get out there and see the beautiful world we live on.
I took my 1st CONTIKI in 2015, 7 countries, including England, France, Amsterdam, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria and France.
I had just turned 30yrs old, it was my first time to Europe and my 1st time travelling solo. I was worried at first travelling solo because I wouldn't know anyone, I opted to do a twin-share which they would room me with another same gender traveler from my group, so I was worried about who my roommate would be and if we would get along.
Well, once I had booked someone in my group had started a Facebook page and so we all got to chat with one another before our trip departed which was amazing because I found out 1 girl was arriving around same time as me, so we waited for each other at airport, took the Underground in London to our start hotel and then hung out that 1st day until our welcome reception with the travel director and group. Great way to break the ice!
Once on tour you are just overwhelmed with the excitement and positive vibes of all your travel mates and the Travel director was super hype and made us all feel really comfortable.
My roomy was from Canada and she was super awesome and we're still friends on Facebook to this day!
Every detail of this trip was AMAZING from the motorcoach to the hotel rooms, the included experiences and the optional experiences that could be booked while on tour were more than what I could have imagined for my first time in Europe.
One of my favorite memories was taking an evening cruise on Lake Lucerne, with the rain coming down, us CONTIKI travelers did not let that stop us from going top deck to dance and drink in the rain.
There are too many wonderful memories to share them all here, but if I can advise you on one thing, let it be this, Do not let life pass you by, for you are given only one, GET OUT THERE and enjoy the beauty around you and explore the cultures you experience in these new destinations, there is much to be learned from one another. Book your Contiki and make friends for a lifetime.

I’ve taken two Contiki trips now and it’s my favorite way to travel! I’ll be super sad when I age out in a few years. I had a really good experience with the customer service from everyone I spoke with on the phone as well as my trip managers (seriously, shout out to mia and mikael, you are amazing). Contiki really helped me a lot in making time for everything I actually wanted to see and I have never been less stressed on a vacation because I didn’t have to do anything but pack my bags. If you want an amazing trip I highly recommend Canada and the Rockies or Adriatic Unearthed. I want to go back right now 🙁

Went to Iceland Fire & Ice trip and had the most epic times with the most epic travel crew that become family by the end of the trip! Everything from where we stayed at to all the included + add on experiences. Must try!

I’ve traveled on 4 Contiki trips so far (3 in Europe and 1 to Peru). It’s hard to pick my favorite as they were all fantastic, but I fell in love with Peru so I think I’m biased towards the Ultimate Inca. The trip was 8-days with 4 of the nights spent hiking and camping along the Inca Trail. Our team was extremely professional and our trip manager, Rolando, was the best!
