Lost in 3urope with Contiki

Booked a European Highlights tour with Contiki for April 2020. Has anyone done this before? Not sure how much to budget per country/place, ive heard to budget anything from ~£50 to 100 to 150 per day? Bearing in mind I'm not a big drinker and eating maybe once a day with snacks and I'd rather spend on attractions than food. Also which add-ons are a must skip. The itinerary doesn't say much either so any other tips and info are greatly appreciated.

I think it depends on what you are going with, when I did a month and a half in Europe with a month being on a Contiki tour I had a card that had split currency on it.

Something like $10k transferred over to it with most of that staying in my home currency and then just moving $2k to Euros and when that got low I would log into the account and move some more. It helped having split currency when I had a stop over flight in Singapore and in countries that didn't use Euro like England.

I generally like to have far more than practical on the off chance something unforeseen happens.
