Answers to frequently asked questions & things you need to know.

Do I need visas?Please read carefully. Depending on your nationality, you may require visas to entercertain countries included in your tour. You are fully responsible for obtaining allnecessary visas prior to the departure of your tour. Contiki are not legallypermitted 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 and how toobtain them.

Schengen Visas The majority of our tours travel in countries that are covered by the SchengenAgreement which relates to visas. Citizens of many countries – eg. Australia, UnitedStates, Canada, New Zealand – can travel in the Schengen area without a visa. If yourequire a visa to enter the Schengen area you only need to obtain one visa which willallow you to travel in all Schengen countries.

Multiple Entry Schengen VisasSchengen visas can be issued for single entry or multiple entries. If your tour travelsoutside of the Schengen area at any point you will require a multiple entry visa. Thetour that requires multiple entry Schengen visa is listed below:Spanish Spree.Visas for Non-Schengen CountriesSome of our tours also visit countries that are not covered by the SchengenAgreement. You may require visas for countries including the United Kingdom,Ireland, Egypt. Depending on your nationality it may be possible to obtain visas forEgypt upon arrival – you should check before you depart for your tour.Important:1. Visas can take up to six weeks and a fee is normally charged.2. Failure to obtain all necessary visas could cause you to miss part of your tour and

will result in you incurring considerable expense and 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 contacts from our Visa service if necessary.

Thesame idea applies to your Contiki Crew - ifyou think they have done a good job thenthey would be grateful for your recognitionby way of a tip, however this is notmandatory – it’s completely up to you.

Brochure authenticityWe have put a great deal of effort intoproducing this brochure. The informationgiven and literature produced by Contiki hasbeen compiled with care and is published ingood faith.

Since the brands of any medication to which you areaccustomed may be unavailable in places to which you are traveling,we recommend you bring your own supply of any medication you willrequire and carry such medication in your hand luggage. Prescriptiondrugs should be carried in the original labeled bottles. Should you fallill during your Contiki vacation, we will make every reasonable effortto make prompt, sanitary, safe and proper medical care available toyou. However, if at anytime or anywhere treatments of any sort aresuggested to you that do not meet your needs or expectations, youshould not hesitate to contact your own doctor.
