Itinerary
Buon giorno! Welcome to the Eternal City. Head out and explore some of the sights before tonight when you'll get a chance to meet your travel squad and plan your next epic week together!
Accommodation: The Yellow (or similar)
Lets hit the road as we have more of Italy to lust over… No trip around Europe is complete without seeing the world's most famous #AwkwardLean, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Once you've got that perfect snap of you holding the thing up like you're Arnold Schwarzenegger, we'll be on the fast-track to the Florence. For those of you not familiar with the whole Florence deal, we have two words for you: it's heaven. Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is more proof that Italy has so many great places packed into one small region. Potter along the River Arno, be totally Tuscan with another drop of Chianti wine, and take in the beauty of the city and its protruding Duomo Cathedral. We have all day tomorrow to let the explorations continue.
Accommodation: 'Re-Dama Hostel (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
Today is a perfect balance of guided wisdom, food and free time to roam. Take the opportunity to explore streets bursting with heritage and delicious flavours as you explore the local markets and down some gelato.
Accommodation: Hotel Mirage (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
Hopefully by now you are head to toe in fresh leather, you've eaten your bodyweight in antipasto, and you're feeling fresh as a daisy and ready to farewell Florence. No trip around Europe is complete without seeing the world's most famous #AwkwardLean, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Once you've got that perfect snap of you holding the thing up like you're Arnold Schwarzenegger, we'll be on the fast-track to the Swiss Alps. Bunking down amid fairytale snowcapped mountains tonight shows how far we've come since golden Florence this morning, and that right there is the magic of Europe. Tomorrow we'll set out to explore this magical land of cheese, chocolate and watches.
Accommodation: Adventure Hostel Interlaken (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
Open the window of your room & drink in the incredible view - if you can find words or photos that do it justice, we applaud you! If you're feeling audacious, opt to take a trip to a Swiss mountain with your travel crew, or feel free to explore this classic European adventure town.
Accommodation: Adventure Hostel Interlaken (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast
Out with the altitude, in with the inner-city Parisian bliss. Once we've crossed the border out of Switzerland we will be coasting through the pretty wine producing region of Burgundy before our arrival in Paris. We'll reach Paris and enjoy an included dinner before a chance to explore the glittering city of lights.
Accommodation: Jo&Joe Gentilly (or similar)
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Stock up on perfume at the Fragonard Perfumery. Especially given the greatly discounted prices and authenticity of buying in France. Later you can moan over haute couture you can't afford, admire the Notre Dame Cathedral whilst juggling coffee and crêpes, & get artsy at the many rooms of the Louvre. Just don't wear yourself out, you will probably want to get involved with dinner and a cabaret show. With your last night looming, make it one to remember in the city of lights.
Accommodation: Jo&Joe Gentilly (or similar)

Soak up your last dose of Paris and feel the astonishment of how much you've seen on this trip. And how close you've grown to your loved-up Contiki collective.

It was an amazing trip. I wished I had booked in from the start. This was a modular trip and the Rome to London trail was the end part of the trip. I was able to connect with everyone easily (even though everyone knew each other for 2 weeks prior). I made good friends, visited amazing places and made unforgettable memories. Would recommend if you have no issues socialising. It was easy to book and everyone was super helpful. I changed the trips multiple times and it was very smooth. The only thing that caught me off guard is the add ons and the price of it. The add ons were a surprise-especially the money u spend on it. Although I have no regrets as I enjoyed all the add ons, but would be nice to know it beforehand.

Prior to joining, the group had already been together for 16 days on the Europeon Trip which makes it hard to make social connections. Additionally, I was told it is just a partying group, but I didn't expect it to be to this level. It's fine to do as a solo traveller if you're nervous but I probably won't be doing one again.

Doesn’t accomodate mature people and more male accommodated. Rushed trip should be better organised for nights on trip and more options for add ons. Generally accommodated only males not really females.

Lots of wasted time on travelling, I think driving should start early early morning/ night driving so the first day in a country isn’t wasted on travel, time would be utilized much better. Accommodation in Florence was horrible, dated, so far from city centre, very inconvenient. Included experiences not worth going to (BORING) Trip was a modular trip so we joined at the end of the other groups trip and the bunch of us who joined in Rome had trouble integrating with the other group and the tour guide had no introductions to the other group when we joined. On the final day Paris to London our departure time was set for 7:45am tour guid was late didn’t arrive until 8:35am this causing us to miss the boat from France to England adding an extra 3 hours onto a travel day. The trip from Paris to London took 12 hours because of this. If you aren’t interested in drinking and partying I wouldn’t suggesting booking with contiki.

Trip starts at the end of the 23 day European Trail trip which sucked because everyone already had their friend groups and weren’t welcoming to new people at all. Wouldn’t recommend this trip if you’re a solo traveler because it’d be difficult to make friends and have a good time. Additionally, the excursions you could add-on were pretty lack luster. The trip is only nice because you get to see multiple cities, but because you’re only in each place for a day everything feels rushed to try and see all the things you want to see. This trip was the first and will probably be the last contiki I do..

This trip was so amazing! We got to see all the major sights including the Leaning Tower, and the Eiffel Tower at night. Our Trip Manager made sure everyone was where they needed to be and made us feel very welcomed. If you're on the fence about booking this trip... DO IT!!! The trip was so well planned out that it never really felt like we had nothing to do or we were being left high and dry. From the accommodations to the FTAs everything was perfect!

Everything was well organised and ran smoothly. Our tour guide was helpful and informative of all the locations visited. The only two things I didn’t like were the add ons payment. Most of them you want to do but you only really take notice of how much you spending once it’s all added up and it’s time to pay. The other thing that wasn’t nice was the tipping thing. It would be easier to know about this up front so you can budget for it. Booking the trip was really easy. The flexibility of paying when you are ready at the same price was good. We had one afternoon getting our visa where we needed to contact contiki and they helped out a lot in getting the information quickly to the visa application centre which allowed us to be granted a visa. Everything else was perfect.

Hi, I have mentioned what I liked above. Contiki organized the trip so well. From the hotels selected, activities along the way and the nice coach we used to travel in.

Amazing experience with a fantastic tour guide and activities. Welcoming atmosphere and encouraged exploration without being completely thrown into the deep end... Booking the trip was simple, all information provided was clear and understandable. Support was available if I needed it. Tour guide was amazing.
