My friend and I are trying to plan a trip to Europe this summer. We are both 18, fresh out of high school, and neither of us has ever been to Europe.
We want to go on a 1-2 week tour with people around our age that either stays in the UK (England, Wales, etc) or hits the major cities of Europe (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, etc).
The thing is, we have no idea which tour company to choose! We’ve heard both good and bad things about Topdeck and Contiki, but I have a feeling there are lesser-known companies that would give great and affordable tours.
Also, although we don’t have a ton of money, we’d rather stay away from hostels/camping trips, etc. Hotels would be preferable. If the tour in question includes airfare in the price as well, that would be great.

So our question is, what tour company would you recommend? Is there one you’ve been on that gave you a great experience, or one you would recommend we stay away from? Thanks for the help!
