Its European Inspired trip visits 12 countries over 26 days, staying in a mix of campsites and hostels, from £1,695.
Other itineraries include a journey to Greece to sail among the islands, and a Christmas escape to Europe. Similarly, Contiki offers no-fly
tours for the youth market, from nine days’ skiing in Austria from £549, to a four-day, £355 Christmas in Paris trip, alongside traditional European circuits. Donna Jeavons, sales &

Travellers will find their holiday budget stretches that bit further, which means any savings can be spent on more unforgettable experiences in some of Europe’s must-see destinations.”
