And so was born Contiki, the original adventure travel company for 18 to 35s. Sure, there was no Facebook back in 1962. But there was a world that needed explorin ploring, a beaten up old mini-van, & a grou group of mates with adventure in their ir bo bones.

When you’re travelling Contiki it’s not just about a coach - you’ll see Europe from all angles. We mix it up with some fun ways to travel, like the locals do.

Our coaches are more than just a way to get around - it’s a social event. There are always people to hang with, or check out the views, listen to music or curl up in your reclining seat & chill. We’re always stopping at great spots too, many of which you’d miss if you travelled any other way.

TIME

Travel is all about freedom & discovery. See More.

Do More. Live More. And go home utterly & completely regret-free.

ME Time is the last ingredient to that perfect trip. We make sure you get all the time you need to see your Europe, your way. It means having the freedom to choose; relaxing at a cosy café, heading off by bike, exploring that interesting local market down the road or maybe getting a locally guided tour of Imperial Rome.

Contiki’s Backstage Pass to Europe means our Team will help you get off the beaten path with the inside scoop on where to go & what to do.

04-05 Intro_CAD.indd 2

If you really want to make every moment count, our ME Time optionals give you the chance to take your trip to a whole new level with unforgettable experiences, unique to the places you visit. Some will get your blood pumping, like paragliding in the Tyrol, bobsledding in Innsbruck & learning to cook the Italian way.

Others will let you soak up cultural Europe, like a night out at the Moulin Rouge, flamenco dancing in Barcelona or a gondola ride through the canals in Venice. Our exclusive behind the scenes access around Europe means you’ll get great deals & your ME Time optionals are all organised by us.

Brochure authenticity We have put a great deal of effort into producing this brochure. The information given & literature produced by Contiki has been compiled with care & is published in good faith (this includes contiki. com & our e-brochures). Sometimes, because of circumstances outside our control, we have to alter some activities due to seasonal closing or repairs to buildings, etc., especially early or late in the season. If this happens, alternatives will be arranged.

no compulsory tipping reward only excellence!

Every country in the world has different tipping customs & in Europe, within service industries, tipping is common practice. Tipping is totally optional & only given if you feel the service has exceeded your expectations. If you think your Contiki Team have done an exceptional job then you may wish to tip them.

This is entirely discretionary – it’s completely up to you. No compulsory tipping – reward only excellence!

Booking Security Contiki has been running tours for young people since 1962 & in all countries where Contiki operates we fully comply with local travel industry laws. All your money is held in a Trust Account until the time of travel to comply with Canadian Travel Industry Regulations. Contiki is a member of the Association of Canadian Travel Agents (ACTA), the Canadian Association of Tour Operators (CATO) and the Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO).

Online check-in It is strongly recommended that you check in to your tour prior to departure at contiki.com/checkin.

Checking in will save you time on your first day of tour, give you essential information & also ensure that Contiki can contact you in the unlikely event of any changes to your trip due to matters out of our control. For more information on how to get more before & after your tour see p.6.

How much luggage can I bring?

On our tours, luggage is restricted to a maximum suitcase size of 73cm x 50cm x 25cm (29” x 20” x 10”) & maximum weight of 20 kg (44lbs) plus one small hand/day bag that can go on the coach with you.

Contiki reserves the right to refuse to accept larger & heavier suitcases on tour.

On Budget tours you’ll need a towel, unless otherwise indicated.

On Ski holidays you may bring one pair of ski boots & skis or a snowboard. Any luggage over the restricted size or amount can be stored with Contiki in London at a small charge. Baggage is carried at the owner’s risk & baggage insurance is strongly recommended.

Do I need visas?

Please read carefully. Depending on your nationality, you may require visas to enter certain countries included in your tour. You are fully responsible for obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of your tour. Contiki are not legally permitted to knowingly allow anybody who does not have a valid visa to join a tour.

Consult your local embassy to determine if you require visas & how to obtain them.

SCHENGEN VISAS The majority of our tours travel in countries that are covered by the Schengen Agreement which relates to visas. Citizens of many countries – eg.

Australia, United States, Canada, New Zealand – can travel in the Schengen area without a visa.

If you require a visa to enter the Schengen area you only need to obtain one visa which will allow you to travel in all Schengen countries. Schengen visas can be issued for single entry or multiple entries. If your tour travels outside of the

Schengen area at any point you will require a multiple entry visa.

VISAS FOR NON-SCHENGEN COUNTRIES Some of our tours also visit countries that are not covered by the Schengen Agreement. You may require visas for countries including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Egypt, Russia, Belarus & Turkey.

Depending on your nationality it may be possible to obtain visas for Egypt upon arrival – you should check before you depart for your tour.

IMPORTANT 1. Visas can take up to six weeks & a fee is normally charged.

2. Failure to obtain all necessary visas could cause you to miss part of your tour & will result in you incurring considerable expense & inconvenience.

3. It is better to apply for all visas before you leave home.

Do I need vaccinations?

At the time this brochure went to press (June, 2013), no vaccinations were necessary.

However, it is wise to check up-to-date information with your travel agent prior to departure. Don’t forget to bring with you any medication that you may require en route, such as antihistamines, antibiotics.

Travel insurance Cancellation, unexpected medical expenses, injuries, theft, lost luggage or money can significantly disrupt & ruin your holiday. Contiki very strongly recommends that you take out comprehensive insurance cover for cancellation, medical expenses, evacuation & repatriation expenses, personal accident, personal baggage, money & public liability before you travel. In some instances, you may not be accepted on a Contiki holiday unless you have arranged satisfactory insurance. You also agree to indemnify us against all third-party claims, actions, damages & remedies against us arising from your participation in your holiday. For insurance details, please speak to your travel agent when you are booking your tour.
