What travelers are saying

"Contiki’s South Korean tour is the perfect way to hit all the highlights and explore the best Korea has to offer in a relatively short time. The trip is jam-packed and fast paced, and filled with amazing experiences. I especially enjoyed the Han River picnic, the karaoke night in Busan, and the Hanok stay in Jeonju. My tour group was great, and our tour manager was outstanding. She handled all the logistics and boring bits to make sure we had a great trip. Along with our local guide, she answered questions, helped us not get lost, organised all our activities and made every day a fantastic adventure. I had an incredible time, and now that I’ve had a taste of Korea I plan to return and use what I learned with Contiki on my next trip. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in exploring Korea."

What travelers are saying

"I didn’t take this tour exactly, but made some changes based on my schedule and interests and travel dates. It was my first time in Southeast Asia and I was a traveling solo female. Liz my trip consultant and contact person was so helpful and responsive to any and all my concerns and questions. It was a trip of a lifetime. I can not gush enough about the itinerary and experiences. I am completely impressed with is company and this person. Ya ya in Chang Mai and Sam in Bangkok are top notch guides. The diving in Phuket was arranged with Siam diving, a small private boat not an over stuffed crowded one. It felt like we were the only people in the ocean. Goo, GO, GO!!!!"

Around the World Tour Selection Trips

  • European tour packages with airfare offer a seamless journey through Europe, and you can make the most of your vacation with these essential tips: Avoid exchanging currency at the airport since you'll likely get better rates in the city. 
  • While credit/debit cards are widely accepted, carry some cash for smaller establishments that may not accept cards.
  • International roaming may be a better option than purchasing a universal SIM card.
  • Learn basic phrases in the local languages of the countries on your itinerary to connect with locals.
  • Save money and discover unique souvenirs by exploring local markets instead of upscale stores.
  • Experience authentic cuisine at local bistros and roadside cafes, which usually offer reasonably priced delicious meals.
  • Take walking tours to explore cities and learn about their hidden gems. Many cities offer free walking tours led by knowledgeable guides.
  • If there are specific attractions you wish to visit, book tickets online in advance to avoid long queues and save time.

Additional details

When considering an around the world tour, determine the regions that are most important to you, and the maximum length of time you’d like to spend traveling.

Packaged tours around the world can be anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months, covering many different themes and regions.

Options for Tours Around the World

There are many options for traveling around the world, but perhaps the most popular is to travel via cruise.

Cruises pose a number of advantages, especially only unpacking once. And you’ll also enjoy personal service, numerous excursions to choose from, meals on board, getting to know your shipmates and making new friends over the course of your journey.

If you get seasick, it might be best to plan a longer cruise, to give yourself enough time to get used to the movement and actually enjoy your trip. The crew on board will be able to help with many remedies. Munching on some crystallized ginger is a wonderful natural solution that has proven very successful.

Overland tours are another popular multi-country travel type, though they aren’t for everyone. This mode of travel is generally most enjoyed by young budget travelers. Overland tours are community focused, meaning that everyone - travelers, guides, drivers alike - pitches in to assist with meals, set-up and break-down of camps, and anywhere else needed.

Travel is mainly in value to premium level coaches, and you’ll be roughing it. Exhilarating for some...extremely uncomfortable for others.

Packing for Your Around the World Tour

Packing for any extended vacation is never easy, let alone a multi-month trip. When traveling around the world, one important factor to keep in mind is the weather. Since you may very well be crossing the equator, the weather will shift from Summer to Winter or Spring to Fall so be prepared!

Bringing lightweight layers and a solid rain jacket - also useful for excursions across the water - is going to be key.

Footwear should be limited to no more than 3 pairs. Bring a good pair of hiking boots or tennis shoes as you’ll probably be walking a lot, over many different surfaces. A pair of beach shoes or sandals will also be essential.

Also consider the many different cultures you’ll be encountering. For exploring Muslim countries, make sure you have some conservative clothing items to wear, and a head covering. Women especially should take care to dress modestly.

When touring many religious establishments as well, make sure shoulders are covered and pants or skirts are below the knee.

If you are traveling on a round the world cruise, this can be a great way to avoid having to unpack and repack constantly. It will also mean you can bring heavier items, perhaps more camera gear or an extra jacket or two.
