Good afternoon globe-roamers and welcome to your first stop of memory-making magic. After a bit of a mingle with the new squad we'll be getting into the spirit of our imminent adventures in Copenhagen. We've got all day tomorrow to suss out the city, so after an orientation tour, tonight can stay reserved for Contiki hangs if you're feeling social.

Day 2: Copenhagen

Location: Copenhagen

Accommodation Name: Scandic Sydhaven (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

Constantly named amongst the most liveable cities in the world, Copenhagen is an artwork of locals on bicycles, Danish pastries in cute café windows, & Renaissance architecture.

Day 4: Oslo

Location: Oslo

Accommodation Name: Scandic Helsfyr (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

Oslo, both the capital and biggest city of Norway, is a riverside metropolis back-dropped by mountains of greenery and filled with easy-going culture. We'll hit up the streets on a bike before we can say "jeg elsker Norge!" (that's "I love Norway," folks). Pottering around museums and pretty buildings will keep us busy by day.  While taking a stroll through the city should keep you busy by night.

Day 5: Oslo To Elverum

Location: Oslo, Lillehammer, Elverum

Accommodation Name: Thon Hotel Elgstua (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

Oslo, it’s been amazing. But there's one more thing to tick off before we leave. You can choose to sail the Oslo Fjord, taking in the breathtaking views along the way. Then, we'll head to traditional city of Elverum with a stop at the world's largest single artist sculpture park on the way. Hey hey, Lillehammer! Upon arrival we can check out the ski jump, take a stroll through the city and then find a spot for dinner.  With plenty of churches and lakes, things are bound to feel authentically Scandinavian here in Elverum, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Location: Elverum, Torgås

For dinner tonight, we’ll tuck into a traditional Norwegian speciality – reindeer stew served with mashed potatoes and lingonberry. It’s enough to warm the cockles of your heart.

Day 7: Torgås

Location: Torgås

Accommodation Name: Torgåsgården (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner

Today you'll wake up in Torgåsgården - a Contiki Special Stay renowned for its jaw-dropping natural beauty. Skiing, anyone? How about snowboarding? Maybe indoor swimming and high-speed water slides sound good? Whatever you fancy, you can choose to do it here!

Day 9: Stockholm

Location: Stockholm

Accommodation Name: Generator Stockholm (or similar)

Meals Included: Breakfast

Wander the quaint medieval streets of Gamla Stan & try to catch the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace. All that ground covered will earn you some Swedish salmon & an Absolut on the rocks – but don’t forget to save room for your evening meatballs….

My amazing trip to Africa

Sherif was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about every single small detail at each site that we visited. In addition to his great service, he has a glowing spirit that made me feel like I had family with me the entire trip. Anything that I was concerned about, he always had an answer and was there to help. I truly enjoyed my experience and will purchase a tour with him in the future
