They take care of all the details so everything runs smoothly & will organise a sightseeing tour or orientation walk in every place that you stop.

On our trips, the only things that are fixed are your destinations.

All of our trips are planned to ensure there’s heaps of free time to travel the way you want. Frame up some great shots, or spend some time taking to the streets & enjoying the experience of new places & new cultures. But we take it further. On each tour, for an additional cost, we’ve hand-picked a load of inspiring Explore More options, unique to the places you visit. Some will get your blood pumping, like toboganning in the Austrian

Tyrol. Others will give you a rich cultural experience, like wine tasting in the Rhine Valley or flamenco dancing in Barcelona.

You’ll get great prices & we can organise it all too.

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.au & 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.

Am I expected to tip on tour?

Every country in the world has different tipping policies & in Europe, within service industries, tipping is common practice. Tipping is totally optional & only given if you feel the service has exceeded your expectations. Your Tour Manager will assist you with any questions about this.

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.

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

Do I need vaccinations?

At the time this brochure went to press (May, 2012), 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.

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 travel agent to determine which visas you require & 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.

The tours that require multiple entry Schengen visas are listed below: 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. 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 through your travel agent before you leave home. Your travel agent will contact Contiki for full details.

4. Contiki will provide you with visa contacts from our London base at the Royal National Hotel, if necessary.

by Contiki. When making multi-tour bookings, full payment is due no later than 45 days before the scheduled departure date of the first departing tour 2.2 If payment isn’t made by the due date, Contiki may assume that you have cancelled & cancellation charges in accordance with clause 3 below will be levied by Contiki.

3. IF YOU CANCEL 3.1 Notice of cancellation must be made in writing to Contiki.

3.2 Your deposit is non-refundable upon cancellation by you.

3.3 Upon cancellation you will be liable to pay a fee to cover the estimate of cost & expenses incurred by us in the terms of the schedule set out hereunder.

3.4 Any cancellation of additional services booked prior to & after your tour booking, such as pre & post accommodation & transfers, that are cancelled within 14 days of the tour departure incur a 100% cancellation fee.

4.2 A fee of NZ$30 per person will be charged for any revision or alteration made to a reservation after the booking is confirmed unless the change increases the value of the booking.
