Fuel up on breakfast treats this morning as we've got a busy day of Barcelona grazing ahead. First up, it's onto 2 wheels to explore the city by bike, taking in sights like the ever gorgeous Gothic quarter. The rest of the day is then yours to explore at your leisure,...
Adios España, we've got our eyes firmly on the French horizon. If it's good enough for Van Gogh, it's good enough for us. Roman treasures, shady squares and adorable cafes epitomise Arles, so it's no surprise Van Gogh was inspired by this gorgeous little town. Our wal...
Leaving Aix behind, it's onto Nice for our next adventure…Pulling up in the riviera favourite, our first port of call is the old town where we'll let loose in the pretty Marche aux Fleurs, one of France's most reputable markets that, depending on the day, could sell a...
France, it's been tasty, but we've still got room in our bellies for Italy... We hope you're hungry, because our lunch time stop will see us rolling our way into Genoa, the birthplace of pesto and our first taste of Italy. And what goes well with pesto? You guessed it...
Waking up and smelling the coffee gets a whole new meaning this morning as we learn how to make the best cup of coffee. Fully awake (thanks Italian espresso), we'll then make our way out to the Tuscan hills with the pretty medieval town of San Gimignano in our sights....
Another free morning and yet more Florentine adventures to be had. Spend your free time wandering the smooth cobbled streets that the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci previously graced, or opt for our olive oil and wine tasting experience, tasting grapes like chianti and br...
Lake Como, you're in our sights. Nestled in the foothills of the Alps, Lake Como's dramatic scenery never fails to amaze. We'll jump straight on a boat cruise to experience Como the very best way, with free time to check out and explore the popular town of Bellagio. H...
After one final breakfast and a last taste of true Italian coffee, our Munch adventure comes to a close. No doubt a few pounds heavier but fill to the brim with happy memories and new cooking knowledge, we hope we'll be seeing you again some time soon...

Tour Operator
We’re firm believers that life’s greatest experiences are made better by the people you share them with. That’s why Contiki invented group travel for young people in 1962 and we’ve spent the past 53 years perfecting it. You’ll explore amazing destinations with a group of 18-35 year olds from around the world who share your passion for adventure, good times and creating memories that define what it is to be young, wild and free.
No two travellers are the same and we know that, which is why we offer eight unique ways to explore the world. We have a number of options to choose from to create a vacation that’s perfect for you, from budget to accommodation style.
We're all about exploring the world with like-minded people, which is why we only run trips for 18-35 year olds, to celebrate being young, spirited and curious. You can expect to join a group of 18-53 awesome people from around the world on our Europe, Australia, North America and New Zealand trips, and in Asia and Latin America it's all about small group adventures with up to 25 travellers. Don't worry if you're not traveling as a couple or with a friend from home – though there are plenty of pairs, 50% of our travellers set off solo, meaning you'll have a ton of opportunities to make new friends.
With over 270 trips around the world and plenty of departure dates to work into your schedule, you'll never be short of options on where to go for your next great adventure.

Contiki are the world leaders in social youth travel. We’ve been providing amazing travel experiences for young travellers, from 18-35 years old, since 1962. Imagine how good you would be at something if you had been doing it for more than 60 years?
Everything about Contiki is deeply rooted in our core values ‘Make Every Moment Count’ and ‘We’re about people’. We don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk and live by our brand philosophy of ‘Travel.Together.’ which means to travel with one another, the destinations we visit, the cultures we enjoy and the environment, too.
