There are three types of Contiki tours that travelers can choose to take, Camping Tours, Budget Tours, and Superior Tours. Each style has a mix of sightseeing and free time with the main difference between the styles being the accommodations used.

Contiki Camping Tours are the least expensive way to experience the destination, and are for travelers who don't mind roughing it a bit. Campers stay in 2 person tents that are provided by Contiki and help in the preparation of meals. Mattresses are also provided but a sleeping bag and towel are necessary additions that the travelers must bring.

Contiki Budget Tours, also known as Concept Tours, are a less expensive way to see the destination without camping. Travelers who choose this tour stay in backpacker style accommodations and are able to meet many people. Travelers are usually put up in hostels or specialized Contiki Villages. Contiki Villages, also known as Contiki Special Stopovers, are specifically made for Contiki travelers and are manned by Contiki personnel. Many of the travelers are singles or students touring on a tight budget, but it is also common for couples to choose this tour.

Contiki Superior Tours are the most expensive of Contiki's tours. The main difference between the Superior Tours and the other two tours is that travelers stay in Superior Class Tourist Hotels. Superior Tours also include Regional Tours, In-Depth Regional Tours, and Cruising Tours

Tunes While You Travel!

Contiki knows that music is central to most people's lives, that's why they have always seen music as an important part of the overall Contiki experience.  The state of the art stereos pump music through speakers onboard.  IN addition, the Contiki crew carries a wealth of music and uses it to enhance your travels and appreciation of the USA and Canada.  They've got theme music that connects you to a city or sight you're visiting, dance music to inspire you on an evening out or the latest tunes to ensure entertaining scenic drives.  If you have your own favorites, Contiki encourages you to bring them along.

Charging on the Go

The majority of coaches are fitted with charging units for your personal electronic items such as iPod, mp3 player, digital camera, mobile phone, etc. No longer will you be left with a dead battery at the moment you need it most.  Contiki is pleased to be able to bring this facility through their coaches for free...just remember to bring an North American adaptor.

Internet Cafe's

For those wanting to keep in touch while on the move, there are plenty of internet computers readily available either at your accommodations or in internet cafe's throughout the U.S.  Your Tour Manager will be able to point you in the right direction so you can stay connected with friends, family of business is needed.
