Accommodation Name: Kawada Hotel (or similar)

Dreams and stars and glitz and grit - oh yes, you've arrived in none other than legendary Los Angeles. This city is yours to uncover as you wish - think freestyle fun with some expertise from our LA local to point you in the right direction. Maybe you'll bar hop Sunset Boulevard, amble along the Hollywood Walk of Fame, or do both with a spot of people watching in Venice Beach in between. We'll hook you up with a 'ho ho', a 48 hour Hop-on-hop-off bus ticket, so you can get around with the top down on what is definitely one of the best ways to see the city. Staying in Little Tokyo, your hotel is in the beating heart of Downtown, a local launchpad right where the action is at.

Want to know where the locals hang, or better yet, the celebs? Your LA local hotel rep who is exclusive to Contiki travellers, is here to help. Tickets to amusement parks (and transport), entry to museums, whatever you like - just ask and consider it done.

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
