Do you offer group tours or discounts?

Yes we do! For groups of 4 (four) or 7 (seven) and 10 (ten) or more on a standard Contiki itinerary please see the discounts offered to each group as listed in the "Specials" section of this site. For groups of 20 or more, please see the Groups FAQs for more information.

Are prices based on double occupancy?

Most prices are based on double occupancy, unless otherwise specified.  For example, Australia and New Zealand tour prices are based on quadrouple share with twin room bookings on a request basis incurring a surcharge. Some tours offer single occupancy for an additional cost, or triple- or quad-share for a reduced price.

When is the best time to travel?

Contiki operates tours year-round, however some months are better for group travel than others. The chart below indicates "peak" months when travel can be more expensive and hotel availability may be more difficult to accommodate large groups. "Best time" to travel refers to when we suggest organizing your group travel for better availability, prices and less crowds.

  PEAK BEST TIME  

America & Canada  May - Sept  March - April; Sept - Oct  

Europe June, July & August  April - May; Sept - Nov  

Australia Jan & Feb  Year Round  

New Zealand Jan & Feb  Nov - Dec; March - April  

    June - Oct (for Snow Skiing)

What's the Earlybird Payment discount?

Contiki offers an Early Payment discount for all tours when the full tour cost is paid at least 4 months in advance. The discount amount is individual to each tour – please refer to the tour itinerary and costings for details.

For the Europe and America tours, there is a second Early Payment Discount option when the full tour cost is paid at least 6 months in advance which offers a larger discount.

Can I use my credit card to pay for my tour?

Yes, we accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover!

Can I have an extension on my payment?

Unfortunately our system is pre-configured to auto-cancel any booking with an outstanding balance 45 days prior to departure.

What's included in the price of Contiki tours? What's not?

Coach, train, most air transfers and ferry transport as specified are included.  Accommodation and meals as per each individual tour itinerary are included as well and sightseeing and admission fees as shown under “All this included” on each tour itinerary.

What's not included? Personal expense money, visas, personal insurance, medical fees, sightseeing and entrance fees other than those that are specified in your trip itineraries, optional excursions, lunches and some dinners and all meals on ferry crossings, and airport transfers unless specified.

How much is an extra night?/Can I extend my stay?

You can definitely extend your stay at most Contiki hotels that are used before or after your tour. Prices and availability do vary for each hotel.

If I have a medical condition, do I need to advise before I book the trip or go on tour?

Yes. It is imperative that you advise your Travel Agent or Contiki Reservation Agent if you have a medical condition at time of booking. A waiver must be completed and signed by the passenger and received by Contiki. Your waiver must be assessed and approved before payment can be made on any reservation.

What does “all inclusive” mean for a Contiki Resort?

Brunch, dinner, land transfers and free activities while at the resorts are a part of your all inclusive package. Drinks are not included.

What if I am not a US citizen?

If you are not a US citizen you are more than welcome to travel with Contiki. However, it is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate travel documentation for the countries you will visit on your tour.

If I meet up with the tour later, will it be cheaper?

Contiki gives you flexibility to join and leave a tour as you wish. However, Contiki does not discount for late arrivals or early departures on tours.

Are the Getaway tours escorted or not? What is a Getaway?

Getaways are designed to give you flexibility and freedom but still all the advantages of group travel. The London & Paris Getaway is fully escorted with the option to independently extend your stay in Paris, Rome, or Amsterdam. The Rome and Amsterdam extensions feature an unescorted train connection where a local Contiki representative will greet you and the station in your “add-on” city. You will be transferred to the hotel and provided with local information on the day of arrival. This setup is the same for the Berlin & Prague Getaway that offer extensions to Vienna and Budapest

Are couples recommended to join a Concept tour?

For Concept tours, the room share is based on not more than 4 persons per room. And is usually matched with same gender so that many more could join the world’s most unique way to see and travel Europe, exclusively with Contiki.

And if you do not wish to let slip such wonderful and unique way to holidays on our Concept tours, we can accept your booking and during the tour, whenever possible; our Tour Manager would allocate 2-person rooms/cabins for just the two of you. And this is often subject to cabin/room’s availability during your tour; and the gender mix for your group.

What are optional excursions?

We have included a great deal of excursions in all our trips, but we cannot and would not want to include everything. Personal choice is important and our clients like the option of being included/or not on certain "Optionals,” i.e., Paris Nightclub show, Gondola ride in Venice, Rafting in Austria. From experience, we know which optionals have proven most popular with our clients and only these will be offered to you. These optionals do cost extra and a full list relating to your trip can be found with your final documents (or under the optionals heading of your tour online) to assist with trip budgeting. These optionals can be purchased through your tour manager when you’re on the trip. Payment for these is cash only; no credit cards will be accepted for payment on optionals (NB Credit cards are accepted on Australia and New Zealand tours).

Where can we find details on optionals?

Optionals are listed on our web site within each tour's information.

What is the cruise ship like on the Louis Hellenic Cruises?

The ships used are smaller than your average US cruise line but offer a re relaxed and casual cruising experience. You still have the same great amenities such as casinos, clothing and novelty stores, pools, and nightly entertainment. Contiki offers standard inside cabins with the opportunity to upgrade while on board with cruise personnel. Please note: Your cruise ship will not be exclusive to Contiki and therefore you will have the opportunity to mix with a wide range of people. There are optional formal nights on board as well.

Are the tour departures guaranteed?

We guarantee that we will not reschedule any European tours within 50 days of departure through peak season (May 1st to October 15th) unless circumstances occur that are beyond our control. (Note: the departure guarantee does not apply to America, Australia or New Zealand tours which are normally guaranteed with minimum of 6 weeks).

In Europe we have designated a large number of tours which we guarantee will operate on the scheduled date, unless circumstances occur beyond our control.

What happens to my deposits or money when my tour is advised non-operative?

In most instances, if not all, Contiki will provide a minimum of 6 weeks notice to give you ample time to consider our alternative offer in tour departure date, or tours that are fairly similar in duration or itinerary. In the event, alternative offers are not acceptable, Contiki will refund all the deposits or money paid in advance for your tour.
