Getting aroundWhen you’re traveling Contiki it’s not 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 a way to get around - it’s a social event. Hang out with
new friends, 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
traveled any other way.
Contiki makes sure you experience
everything, from the big sights to
authentic local stuff, but still leaves you
time to explore the way you want.
With us you get more included as part
of your tour than going any other way.
Here’s why...
Our teamOur team’s sole purpose
is to make your trip the
time of your life.
Your dedicated Tour Manager & Driver
teams are like on-road guide books.
We’ve picked the best of the bunch &
sent them on a training trip (the best in
the industry) to be sure they make the
cut on our tours. They’ve done the hard
work, are packed full of knowledge &
are ready to share it all with you.
They take care of all the details so
everything runs smoothly & will organize
a sightseeing tour or orientation walk in
every place you stop.

Got a question?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 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 & Russia. 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.

having booked & travelled with Contiki (or one

www.thetravelcorporation.com for details) within 5 years
of their last tour. Clients must have completed a tour
before they can redeem the discount on a subsequent

Brochure authenticityWe 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.
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-inIt is strongly recommended that you check-in to your
tour prior to departure at contiki.com/checkin.
Checking in will you save time on your fi rst day of
tour, give you essential know before you go
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.5.
How much luggage
can I bring?On our tours, luggage is restricted to a maximum
suitcase size of 29” x 20” x 10” (73cm x 50cm x 25cm)
& maximum weight of 44lbs (20 kgs) 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 Hogmanay, St. Patrick’s & Ski tours, you’ll need a
towel which can be purchased from Contiki in London,
if necessary.
On Ski vacations 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
vaccinations?At the time this brochure went to press
(June, 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.

PRICE GUARANTEEa) Tour Prices: Are based on costs, tariffs, taxes, charges, levies and exchange rates as of May 22nd, 2012 Should these change, the price of your vacation may increase. If the total price increases by more than 10%, you may cancel, without penalty, within 3 DAYS after we notify you of the increase. Except as explained below, we will not increase the price of your land vacation after we receive your full deposit for your land vacation. In exchange for this guarantee, no refund will be made if the cost factors described above are reduced. b) Airline Fuel Surcharges, Air-related Taxes, Fees & Restrictions, & Levies Imposed by any Government or its Agencies: As noted above, all quoted land and air prices include airline fuel surcharges and Air-Related Taxes and Fees, applicable as of May 22nd, 2012. However, if the customer is notified of the potential for a price increase and we have received the customer’s written or verbal consent prior to accepting any payment, we reserve the right to recover from you increases in those surcharges. Any additional fees charged by the airlines, such as baggage handling, seat selections, and/or any other services are the sole responsibility of the passenger(s). Additional air-related restrictions apply. See www.contiki.com/restrictions for details.3. IF WE CANCEL OR CHANGE YOUR VACATION3.1 Contiki reserves the right to change or cancel any tour departure in accordance with operating requirements or circumstances beyond its control. 3.2 If a cancellation is made any time prior to the tour departure*, Contiki’s only liability will be to refund the passenger the amount it has received for the booking. Contiki will try and re-book the same or a similar tour and, where flights have been confirmed by Contiki, will attempt to confirm air seats for the new date selected, subject to availability. Contiki is not liable for any changes, amendment or cancellation penalties incurred on any other travel arrangements purchased separately.3.3 If an alternative tour is not available or acceptable you will be entitled to either a full refund of monies paid by you to us or transfer to another Contiki vacation without payment of any transfer fee. *Please Note: The departure date constitutes the date indicated on Contiki’s invoice. If you do not join the tour on the day of departure then cancellation fees will be 100%.3.4 If the change or cancellation is due to force majeure (i.e. circumstances like political unrest, war or threat of war, riots, civil strife, closure of airports or ports, industrial disputes, terrorist activity, natural and nuclear disasters, fire, epidemic or health risk, Acts of God, adverse weather conditions or other similar events beyond Contiki’s control) we will give a full refund of any monies paid to us less reasonable expenses incurred by us in respect of your booking. 3.5 Contiki is not responsible for the costs of any other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations or rescheduling of any tour departure.4. VACATION DETAILS AND CONDITIONS4.1 The information in our brochure is correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of going to print (June, 2012) but we cannot guarantee that any item or amenity mentioned will be available, especially where we have no direct control over it.4.2 With respect to Contiki’s touring program Contiki will do our best, at our discretion, to select accommodations, sightseeing tours and transportation to give you good value for your money.4.3 Contiki constantly strives to improve tour itineraries and features. If such improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries and to substitute hotels. Contiki is not responsible for any other travel arrangements affected due to our cancellations.4.4 Any special meal requirements will be made on a request basis only. Contiki cannot guarantee special meal requests nor will assume any responsibility or liability if clients special meal requests are not fulfilled.5. LIABILITY5.1 Contiki is responsible for properly arranging and conducting your vacation.5.2 As a Tour Operator, Contiki makes arrangements with carriers, hoteliers and other independent suppliers to provide you with some or all of the travel services you purchase. These parties are independent suppliers over whom Contiki has no direct control. Unless caused by its own negligence, Contiki is not responsible for and accepts no liability in respect of any claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses arising out of:a) personal injury, sickness, disease, accident or death, however caused, including without limitation, where same results from your conduct on vacation.b) loss or damage to or delay of baggage or other property unless resulting from Contiki’s negligence in which case Contiki’s liability shall be limited to the actual loss but in no event would exceed the total vacation cost;c) delays and loss as a result of government action, weather, mechanical breakdown, equipment failure, labor disputes, sickness, acts of war, insurrection, terrorism, Acts of God or any other causes beyond Contiki’s direct control. Contiki cannot be responsible for interruption of air carrier service due to airline default.d) acts or omissions, whether negligent or otherwise, of suppliers of services or their personnel (including, without limitation, transportation and accommodation services) or of any other person or body unless such a person or body is employed by us, or is an agent of ours, and is acting within the scope of his or her authority. In no event is Contiki liable for the acts or omissions of independent third party contractors or of its own employees or agents acting outside the scope of their duties.e) loss of enjoyment, upset, disappointment, distress or frustration, whether physical or mental, resulting from any of the following: (i) any matter or topic described in sub-paragraphs (a) to (d) inclusive above. (ii) your failure to obtain the necessary documentation to travel. (iii) your failure to arrive on time for initial departure or for connections within the tour or to stay within or join your tour at any time after initial departure. (iv) your leaving the tour prior to its completion. (v) the need for Contiki to change itineraries or substitute accommodation or services, provided that Contiki makes every effort to supply the most comparable services and accommodations available. (vi) cancellation of the vacation by Contiki provided that a full refund of all monies paid is made to you.(vii) Many of our activities are action and adventure orientated. Sports and similar activities inherently involve risks of injury greater than those that would be encountered if you were not participating in such, and therefore, by voluntarily taking part in any sports or other such activities, you thereby acknowledge and assume any of the risks inherent therein. In the absence of negligence on our part, or on the part of our agents and representatives, neither we nor they accept any responsibility for, and shall not be liable for, any injury, illness, damage, loss, accident, expense, delay or any other irregularity resulting from your participation in any of the activities made available to you.
(viii) We take every reasonable precaution possible to assure your comfort, safety, and enjoyment while you are taking part in a Contiki vacation. Contiki vacations are generally for the young, and not for the frail or those not generally enjoying good health. A change of climate, food, time and varied cultural habits often affects travelers differently. We therefore recommend that you advise your doctor that you are taking one of our vacations and ask if he or she recommends anything for your trip, even for something as seemingly benign as an upset stomach. Since the brands of any medication to which you are accustomed may be unavailable in places to which you are traveling, we recommend you bring your own supply of any medication you will require and carry such medication in your hand luggage. Prescription drugs should be carried in the original labeled bottles. Should you fall ill during your Contiki vacation, we will make every reasonable effort to make prompt, sanitary, safe and proper medical care available to you. However, if at anytime or anywhere treatments of any sort are suggested to you that do not meet your needs or expectations, you should not hesitate to contact your own doctor. Also, please note that the same sorts of activities that can expose you to certain types of diseases at home can just as easily expose you to those same diseases abroad. This information is provided only for your convenience and we are not responsible or liable for any damages resulting from your failure to confirm or ascertain health information or medical precaution, if any, for the places which you will be visiting. (ix) Contiki is responsible for taking care to arrange and conduct your vacation properly. With you in mind, we have accepted applications from and interviewed numerous potential employees, and then we select only those people whom we believe in our best judgement would be responsible and congenial, Tour Managers, Representatives and Drivers. Although we firmly believe, based on personal interviews and certain disclosures made to us by our employees, that all of our employees enjoy excellent health, we, like other tour operators, are legally unable to confirm this in most, if not all, instances.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES1. BOOKING YOUR VACATION1.1 In order to reserve your vacation, a deposit of US$200, per person per tour, or the full amount payable if booking is made within 45 days of departure, must be submitted to Contiki by you in respect of that vacation. This payment is in addition to any deposit required by your travel agent. The deposit is accepted as a first installment of the vacation price by Contiki only once the booking has been confirmed in writing by Contiki or your travel agent. If paying by a third-party credit card your Contiki specialist will provide you a third-party authorization form that must be completely filled out and received by Contiki before payment can be received.1.2 Your land reservation will be confirmed on receipt of a non-transferable, non-refundable deposit of US$200 per person for the first tour booked and then a deposit of US$200 for second and subsequent tours booked at the time of booking or the reservation will automatically be cancelled.2. PAYING THE BALANCE2.1 The balance of the vacation price must be paid by no later than 45 days before your scheduled vacation departure date which shall be by the due date stated on the confirmation issued to you by Contiki.2.2 Air Payment: Payment in full for your airfare booked in conjunction with your Contiki vacation may be required at time of booking. The Department of Transportation now requires Contiki to inform you of the following conditions. The package price is subject to change until it has been paid in full. When this happens, it is usually the result of increases in fuel surcharges and or government taxes. You must consent to the possibility that, until you pay for your package in full, your price could go up. Once you have paid in full we would only pass along increases in government taxes if applicable at that time. You have 7 days from receipt of the first invoice to revoke your consent and request a refund, at which time we would cancel your booking.2.3 If payment isn’t made by the due date, Contiki may assume that you have cancelled and cancellation charges in accordance with clause 3 below will be levied by Contiki.2.4 Tickets and other documents won’t be forwarded until full payment has been received by Contiki.2.5 In the case of Late Bookings made within 45 days of your departure, the full cost of the vacation will be payable immediately on booking. Documents can be emailed to the passenger at no additional charge or passenger can pay a $35.00 expedited shipping fee for physical documents.2.6 Contiki reserves the right to cancel the booking and apply cancellation charges should payments not be received within the above specified periods.2.7 Travel documents will be sent to you approximately 21 days prior to tour departure* (providing full payment has been received). However, if travel documents are required the next day or earlier than 21 days prior to departure* (providing full payment has been received), a fee of $35 per mailing will apply. Bookings made and/or payments received within 30 days of departure* incur a $35 per mailing document delivery fee. Any documents delivered outside the USA will incur a minimum fee of $50. The actual cost will be advised at time of booking.3. IF YOU CANCEL3.1 If notice of cancellation is received by Contiki 45 days prior to tour departure*, the non-refundable, non-transferable deposit will be retained along with the Travel Protection.3.2 Notice of cancellation must be made in writing directly to Contiki.3.3 The following scale of charges will apply when notice of cancellation is given after booking is confirmed:COACH TOURS (LAND ONLY)No. of days prior to Cancellation Fee tour departure* as a % of the total land price.No. of days prior to Cancellation FeeTour departure* as % of the total land fee45 days or more: ....................................................The non-refundable deposit44-22 days: ............................................................................. 25% of tour fare21-8 days: ............................................................................... 30% of tour fare7-1 days: ................................................................................. 50% of tour fareDay of departure*/No show: ...................................................................... 100%Extra night hotel accommodations that are cancelled within 14 days of booked date will incur 100% cancellation fee, outside 14 days the following fees will be charged:45-22 days .................................................................................................. 25%21-15 days .................................................................................................. 30%AIR ARRANGEMENTSThese cancellation charges apply for airline arrangements made by Contiki: Prior to final payment a service fee of - $50 per personAfter final payment a service fee of - $75 per person plus any airline imposed penalties which may be up to 100% of the air ticket value. 3.4 Any cancellation of additional services booked prior to and after your tour or resort booking, such as pre and post accommodation and transfers, that are cancelled within 14 days of the tour departure incur a 100% cancellation fee.3.5 These cancellation fees are in addition to any cancellation fees that may be levied by your Travel Agent.3.6 Please note that Contiki is not liable for any cancellation penalties incurred on any other travel arrangements including air tickets purchased separately from the air and land included package. * Please note: the departure date constitutes the date indicated on Contiki’s
confirmation
4. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING4.1 If after your booking has been confirmed, you wish to change to an alternative departure date or you wish to change to a different Contiki vacation, you may do so subject to availability and provided the new vacation date is also in this brochure.4.2 A fee of US$30 per person will be charged for any revision or alteration made to a reservation after the booking is confirmed. Any alterations risk the loss of air space or increased airfares. Name changes or corrections will be treated as a cancellation of air and all normal air cancellation fees will apply. A change of tour date or tour itinerary within 45 days of tour departure will be treated as a cancellation, and normal cancellation fees will apply except when the change is to an earlier departure date of equivalent or greater value in which case a US$30 per person amendment fee will be charged.5. VACATION DETAILS AND CONDITIONS5.1 Please read the brochure carefully for those items included in the price. No allowance or refund can be made for meals, accommodation, excursions, etc. that you elect not to take, or when museums, shops, etc are closed. Hotel facilities may vary from place to place. Meals may vary in style.5.2 Contiki’s vacations are specifically planned for those in the 18-35 age group. Consequently the facilities and activities on a Contiki tour are not appropriate to persons outside this age bracket. If you have a question regarding the age groups, you should discuss this thoroughly with Contiki staff personnel.5.3 Contiki strives to provide a safe, enjoyable and memorable travel experience for all passengers. Contiki welcomes passengers with special needs or disabilities. However, please note the following:• Passengers are required to advise Contiki, in advance, of any physical,
