Experience the magic of Europe with adventures and friendship

Europe is home to everything very old and very magnificent. From ancient castle ruins with stories of wars and fallen kingdoms, where mountains are high and valleys deep with fairytales and magical legends, to colourful folk traditions, festivities and celebrations—it is somewhere you want to be able to grab it by the hems and bundle it up to visit all on one big trip.

And it is surprisingly easy and affordable to go on an adventure filled itinerary on a group tour such as Contiki.

Tour travel takes away the hassle of trip planning
Don’t let the idea of group tours put you off. If you are going to Europe for the first time and don’t know where to start, then a group tour that has hand-picked the best of Europe’s hot spots is definitely right for you.

Tour groups often have priority, pre-booked access to attractions, and will plan the best routes around so that you don’t waste time waiting in queues. This means you can enjoy all of Europe’s wonders while someone else takes care of the administrative hassles. And the best thing? You don’t have to carry all your luggage with you along the way.

At the end of the day, having seen the sights and sampled delicious local cuisines, use the on-coach Wi-Fi to post some envy-worthy photos to make your friends and family jealous—don’t be afraid to flaunt it.

You don’t have to be alone
How amazing was the busker you heard along that Venetian canal? Wasn’t the story of the German princess who complained about not being able to have beer for breakfast fascinating?

Instead of being alone at the dinner table and having no one to discuss the day’s sightings, your tour offers the opportunity to be part of a group of like-minded travellers who will cherish the experiences with you.

Not to mention, you have the support of the tour leaders as you explore, so that you are never too far from help, if anything were to go wrong.

What happens on tour, doesn’t always have to stay on tour, either. Share these memories with your new friends and before you know it, you’ll be planning another trip together.

Fun and adventures along the way
A picnic under the iron lattices of the Eiffel Tower in Paris? A scenic flight over the Swiss Alps? Want to learn how to make the best pasta from scratch?

Many tours offer optional activities on the side so that if there is anything that particularly interests you about a destination, you can experience it to the fullest, giving you the opportunity for the travel experience of your life time.

And you don’t even have to worry about the logistics. Let the tour leaders help you organise and you are good to go.
