Hey everyone, this post is totally shameless and self promoting, but I'm doing a huge 400 day Contiki starting this summer and wanted to share it here. I quit my job to make this a reality (I've been planning it for a while) and I've started the process of selling all my things. I'm planning to film the entire journey as I cross from Europe all the way to South America, while uploading a new episode every week. I it could be of interest to everyone here, and if so, please feel free to check out my teaser for the trip (along with some of my other Contiki related videos):

Please let me know if you have any questions!

I am a 19yo female from Sydney considering doing a Contiki through Western Europe next year in June/July during uni holidays. I would be going by myself as my friends either don't have the money or aren't interested in travelling atm. Is anyone else considering a Europe Contiki 2018? Any young women out there who have gone on a Contiki by themselves and can share their experience? Thank you :)

Hey y'all, my friend and I have booked a European tour for this summer (only put down the deposit). It sounds like so much fun. I did a Contiki trip before Covid and it was amazing! The only thing I'm worried about is COVID/possibly having to quarantine. I'm a little nervous to further plan anything because of the total uncertainty. Any advice? Thanks.

I Did the Contiki European Horizon in 2017, i met a whole lot of new amazing friends and and had the trip of a lifetime. Heres a video a friend on the trip created of our wonderful experience. https://youtu.be/4xQDDLfgfQs

Hey all, 23 year old male here from Canada, I’ve been thinking about doing a contiki tour over the past few years and bringing a friend but none of my friends are interested in travelling lol. Anyways I’d like to see Europe and love partying, which contiki tour would you guys recommend? Any insight helps!

So I’m really really wanting to do a Contiki through Europe (probably from London to tomorrow or north England or something but all my friends have no interest in going cause they don’t want to waste their money. So I was wondering if anyone ever did a solo Contiki in Europe (or anywhere) and what it was like for you? Did you make friends? Did people socialise? What is it like bunking with a stranger? Who took your photos or did you just do selfies? Did you feel safe?

If you or anyone is planning on booking with Contiki use the code CONTIKIARCHI for 10% off. Thought I'd throw it out here in case anyone was interested. It has to be a 7+ day trip :)

If you're not in the US you need to use the US site www.contiki.com/us/en

Thinking of sending my 18 year old daughter on the Europe/Mediterranean tour. Can anyone tell me their experience with this (accommodations, safety, etc.). She would be going with a friend. Anything else you think I should know would be appreciated. She is an America traveling from Los Angeles.

22nd of july. I would have only just hit 18 and it should be good.

I was wondering between Discovery and Iconic Essentials which has better nightlife/party vibe? Looking to travel mid-September. In general what are the main differences between European Horizon and European Discovery?

I am a US citizen in my mid 20's currently and am seriously planning on traveling to Europe for the first time sometime this winter to next year summer. I am a native English speaker but do not speak any of the European languages. I love exploring new sights, trying new cuisine, and walking around. For my trip, I would prefer seeing several countries instead of doing just one country. My PTO allows me around two weeks and I have narrowed my choices down to 3. The first option would be Scandinavia (Norway, Finland, Switzerland), second would be a mix of France/Germany/ Italy/Greece, third would be Eastern Europe (think Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary). My main considerations to take into account would be that I can only rely on my English, and the safety. I see that Contiki does offer trips along these areas. Given my preferences, what region would be best for me along with recommended season (winter or summer would be my only options). Usually what months are most popular, are group sizes similar between winter/summer, and which of these 3 would be worth visiting during winter?

I know the age restriction for contiki is 18-35 but I was hoping to have a more accurate age range for tours, more specifically Eastern Quest.

Just wondering if anyone has any comments/tips for the tour :) I'm going on it on the 23rd of next month and I'm super excited just kinda curious what I can expect or if anyone else if going on it feel free to be my friend LOL

I'm very interested in applying to be a Trip Manager for Contiki (probably for 2022) and was wondering if anyone on here could PM me and answer any questions I may have about it?

I'm basically wondering what exactly Contiki want in a Trip Manager and what could boost my chances of getting a job with them.

I have emailed Contiki about this but they're taking a very long time reply, so I hope someone on here could be of more help to me!

Applications for next year appear to be going ahead, but on the job page itself, it says applications will open August 2020. It's September now and the application itself still seems to be closed. So who knows what's happening.

Hello Canadian Contiki friends! Use promo code PPCMICHELLE when you book your next Contiki trip and save $100 on a trip of 7 days or longer.

This code can be combined with some other offers!

If you're not Canadian, you can still use the code, but you need to book through the Canadian site (https://www.contiki.com/ca/en)

I've done 3 (almost 4!) trips with Contiki and they are SO amazing.

Happy travels! #NoRegrets

This is probably such a stupid question but I’m doing my first ever Contiki Europe trip in September but wondered how do you go about washing your clothes, as you don’t spend very long in each place, so I was wondering do they have washing machines and dryers at the places you stay at ? Do they charge and Is it expensive ? Or do you have any tips to get you through lol

Bit of an off-chance, but I was on a Eurpoean Vista trip with Contiki in July/August 1998. I would love to retrace the steps of the trip ... in particular the hotels and inns we stayed at. Is there anywhere I could get ahold of old Contiki itineraries?

10% off your next booking w code CONTIKIKYLE

I’m going at the end of March and just wondering if anyone has been on it and what your experience was like :)

So I'm looking at booking the "Total Thailand" trip for early next year. Suggestions on best time to go or ideas if any promos might soon be on offer?

Thanks and looking forward to an adventure.

Me and my GF recently went on a EU contiki tour.. and we struck up a really good friendship with a guy from Brisbane and I started notice he was quite flirty towards my GF. I dismissed it.. thinking it was just his personality... but during one very drunken night in Greece I noticed he was getting handsy and I didn't intervene. He knew I saw, and I could tell she was aware.. I ended up going back to the villa/room to make a phone call back home (I did this every couple days) I was only gone for a good 20-25minutes but I couldn't find my GF.. and when I did she was roughed up.. and she just said it was due to the heat/weather.. we continued to drink and dance and she was obviously turned on.. we went back to the room and I noticed she was really really wet, and I could tell immediately when I entered her.. I didn't know how to feel other than turned on.. and fuck.. it felt great!

The next day on the bus.. I get an airdrop from 'anon iphone' and it was a 15s vid of a cock pushing into a pussy.. I immediately knew it was my GFs.. and our 'mate' throughout the trip always put it over me.. I did end up speaking with my GF and she said in Greece they used protection.. I told her I didn't think so.. because I could literally tell.. and I found out that she slept with him in a total of 7 times throughout the tour.

I should reference we HAD talked about FFM and MFM in the past.. but it never occured to me she would go ahead and do it without my say-so.. but in syaing that in greece my non-verbal queues could have been taken the other way.

This guy was 19, cocky AF and honestly had a piece that would make you awe.

My only concern is.. we made really good friends and memories and I don't know WHO on tour.. knows?!
