About this trip
This is a long, sweeping journey across Europe, starting in Paris and working its way down through mainland Europe to Greece's islands before looping back. Over 37 days you'll cover an enormous amount of ground, mixing big historic cities with island time.
Expect a group setting with everything organised for you, from transport to accommodation, so the days are about showing up and taking it in rather than logistics. The pace covers a lot of countries, but the trip is pitched as easy-going rather than gruelling.
Along the way you'll stay in a couple of standout properties, including Contiki Haus Schöneck and Chateau de Cruix, which break up the usual hotel stops.

Worth it if you want an action-packed month across Europe with a genuinely excellent trip manager. Think twice if you prefer a slower pace or worry about value of included activities.
- Trip managers consistently go above and beyond—solving lost phones, managing logistics, feeling like a genuine friend.
- 37 days fits an impressive amount in; organisers provide detailed day sheets and maps for each location.
- Very fast-paced itinerary; included activities received mixed feedback, with some finding them underwhelming.
- Trip quality heavily depends on your specific trip manager; one reviewer felt theirs was cocky.
