What travelers are saying

"Highly recommend the Southern Africa Safari trip! Getting this many countries checked off my bucket list was great! But what made it even better was the amazing Contiki travel guides, informed local tour guides, and the participants! So many great photos and memories. Saw all the big five and made lifelong friends. See my photos of the adventures at @dilldeboer on Instagram!"

What travelers are saying

"I chose “Best of Italy” because I realized I would visit most of Italy’s major cities on this tour. I had traveled with Trafalgar before and I knew the service from the company would be outstanding and that they would handle almost every little detail. I was traveling solo, but always felt a part of the group. We were always on the move, but I never felt overwhelmed. Our guide, Giuseppe M. always pointed out interesting details and made sure we were taken of. The local guides were wonderful as well. Having had two separate orthopedic surgeries within the previous twelve months, I needed to use a walking stick and had to be cautious in some of the locations, but it was doable. If I could make a suggestion to the company, it would be to spend another day in Rome so the places we visited were not all on the same day."

"I really enjoyed every aspect of the tour. It was a relatively small group of great people with an excellent guide, comfortable accommodation and interesting itinerary. The walking aspect was a little challenging but within my capabilities giving me a sense of achievement each day. The food everywhere we were taken was exceptional.
