I too took a Contiki trip around Russia and Scandanavia and had a ball! I was impressed to find a few oldies (25+ yr olds!) on the trip and quite a few singles. I had heard that Contiki tours can turn into drunken trips but was plesantly surprised to find that our gang was not overly into this.

Our tour guide did his best to provide us with as much information on each place we visited as he could-studying up the night before.

The options for extra sightseeing were well priced and quite enjoyable. There was everything from luging on the old olympic track to city walks.

I found their Russia and Scandi Trip fantastic. The itinery was packed but I now have so many new experiences, friends and photos! It is a must do for people on a budget and who want to see Russia independently but safely!

Sorry for the low rating. Try adding information on what excursions you took, if'd you recommend them or not, prices, what the accommodation and food was like etc. The more detail the better for higher ratings!!!

Again a little more info is needed, what are the prices for accommodation and food like out there, who did you travel with, where's the best places to go and visit while you're there, what's the weather like, etc. Hope this helps! Sarah x
