I recently went on a Contiki holiday, which toured Russia and Scandi.
In contrast to the writer of the ultra-negative Russia/Scandi experience, I found it to be a huge and unbelievable experience.
The tour of Scandi was quite limited, but it gave you a good overview of the main cities, and some of the coutryside. We had accommodation and meals all organised, and info on history/sites in each location as requested. In addition to this, we had a lot of free time to explore, or just chill out.
It's true there is quite a lot of coach travel but (a) They are big countries, and (b) you knew that going in.
Russia was another thing altogeher. It is a very dodgy place, but very cool. It was extremely reassuring to have the back up of the Contiki crew to help things get sorted out, but also freedom to see what we wanted.
In summary, the Contiki holiday I went on was very well organised and a great guide to further travel - which is all they claim to do.
