What's this trip about?

    Ready for a Tuscan experience trip like no other? In Rome, get acquainted with your squad of awesome 35-45 year old travellers (and maybe swap some sweet memories of Contiki trips gone by!) After a guided foodie tour in Trastevere, we'll hit the road. Destination: picture-perfect Siena & sun-soaked Tuscan vineyards! Staying at a stunning property in the village of Borgo di Cortefreda, there'll be plenty of time for day trips to Florence, Lucca, Pisa & all the Tuscan favourites. Over one extraordinary week, drink up as much Renaissance art & architecture as you want (or just stick to your Aperol Spritz!)

Itinerary

Day 1: Start Rome

If you reverse the Italian word for Rome (Roma), you get Amor (love)… and we’re all set to fall in love with this ancient Italian capital the moment we set foot in it. ‘Ciao’ your new Contiki pals and we’ll hop on our coach for a city tour to catch all the classic sig...

Day 2: Rome to Siena via Orvieto

Sorry Rome, we’d love to linger but there are so many more experiences to soak up!En route to Siena, we have time to explore the picturesque hilltop town of Orvieto, followed by an included lunch at Casa Segreta in the nearby village of Baschi. We’ll join the Polegri ...

Day 3: Siena with Day Trip to Chianti and San Gimignano

Bathed in the golden glow of the Tuscan sun, there’s no better way to uncover this historical region than by tasting it. Today we’ll hop on our bikes to ride from Radda to Gaiole to visit local vineyards and explore Chianti wineries, and discover for ourselves this ri...

Day 4: Siena with Day Trip to Florence

Our destination today is home to red roofs, Renaissance architecture and rustic cuisine. Florence is often referred to as a 'walking museum', and today we'll find out why. With a locally guided walking tour, we'll explore the city on foot, swooning at Giotto's Bell To...

Day 5: Siena with Day Trip to Pisa & Lucca

We can't be in this part of the world without a sneaky visit to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Depriving you of the chance to perfect the ‘holding-up-the-tower’ shot would be criminal. Our visit includes a guided tour and entry to the tower, the cathedral and the Baptistr...

Day 6: Siena with Day Trip to Perugia (Umbria)

Somehow Umbria feels even more authentically Italy than anywhere else we’ve been so far. A little less explored than Tuscany and still dotted with fairytale towns, we can see why Umbria is known as Italy’s ‘green heart’. We’ll visit its capital Perugia, where fine old...

Day 7: End Rome

It’s said that all roads lead to Rome and that’s where we’re headed back to today. Has it really only been a week since we last set foot in the Eternal city? But don’t worry, there’s still time to pull in some adventures with a stop at Ostia, Italy’s largest ancient e...

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.

About the company:
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.

Why we love this operator
Their trips create life-long memories for young people setting off to discover the world.
What they’re known for
Social travel for 18-35 year olds around the world.
