Every bit as delicious as it sounds, Munch is our commitment to local, immersive and seriously tasty food experiences.
If you’ve been thinking about Europe, we bet you’ve also been thinking about food. The fresh baguettes of France, the exquisite pintxos of Spain, the sun-ripened tomatoes of Italy. That’s what travel is all about - immersing yourself in a new country and a new culture, through food. Munch is our food philosophy it wraps up everything we do to make food an undeniable part of the travel experience. What does it mean? • It’s the bespoke menus we created in partnership with a Masterchef judge, served exclusively at our Special Stopovers, that showcase local food at its very best.
• It’s the professional training of every Contiki Chef, educating them on flavour, technique, and presentation. • It’s a commitment with our restaurant partners to deliver fresh, local, delicious food. • It’s the superior training of our Trip Managers in food culture, and their Little Black Book of foodie haunts in every destination you visit. • It’s breakfast included each and every day. • And it’s the Free Time Add-On food experiences you won’t be able to resist, like a five-course Italian feast on the island of Burano.

VISIT CONTIKI.COM/FAQ FOR FULL Q+A DETAILS
BEFORE YOU BOOK
WHAT’S INCLUDED (ESSENTIALS) All accommodation, transport, and a good handful of meals are included in the cost of your Contiki trip (in most regions we offer breakfast every day, plus a cherry-picked selection of authentic and tasty meals). We also include our No Regrets Inclusions, which are basically the sights and activities we think you just can’t afford to miss. And then of course you also get our expert and highly trained team of Contiki staff; our Trip Managers, Drivers, On-road Cooks (Camping Trips) & On-site Team Members. Plus our modern, airconditioned Contiki coaches with Wifi charging points, bathroom, TV and sound systems. We also include sightseeing tours of all major cities. Plus orientations in all other destinations. Hotel tips, local taxes and service charges and ferry crossing fees NOT INCLUDED Flights to and from your start and end destination are not included in the cost of your trip. These can be booked independently, or added on during the booking process either online or with your travel agent. We also keep a number of meal times free for you to explore a region and its foodie offerings in greater detail, so budgeting for non-catered meals is important. In terms of activities, we also offer Free Time Add Ons, which are additional experiences you can get involved in during your free time on trip, which are not included in the overall price. Travel insurance and visas are also not included in the cost of your trip, and need to be booked separately. AIRFARES Flights as specified on individual trip itineraries are included as part of the price. As detailed within our Booking Conditions (p.26) under ‘General’ we rely on international conventions regarding air travel & other transportation as specified. Through enrolment & payment for your trip you acknowledge & accept such. Individual electronic tickets may not be issued to you prior to travel due to the group nature of the air/ flight booking. In such circumstances you acknowledge that by receipt of any applicable boarding pass &/or by boarding the aircraft you have accepted the airline’s terms & conditions of travel & the application of all relevant International Conventions & applicable national & international law governing air transportation. VISA REQUIREMENTS Visas are super important and are essential for entering certain countries. You are responsible for obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of your trip. Sometimes the requirements and cost of entering and leaving a country can change. At contiki.com/travel-resources we have info on all of the countries that we visit and you can learn about the specific requirements for each place. Contact your travel agent (if applicable) to determine which visas you require and how to get them. Your passport will need to be valid for at least six months after your arrival. Without enough validity, authorities may deny your entry into a country, even if you’re only staying for a short while. 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 trip & will result in you incurring expense & inconvenience. 3. It is better to apply for all visas through your travel agent or local consular services before you leave home. Be aware that some visas can be purchased & arranged on arrival. 4. It is very important that the entry & exit dates are correct on the visa. Your travel agent will contact Contiki for full details. PACKING HOW MUCH LUGGAGE CAN I BRING? For our European trips luggage is restricted to one decent sized, non-expanding suitcase, approximately 29” × 20” × 10” (73cm x 50cm x 25cm) with a maximum weight of 20 kilos (44lbs.) plus one small hand/day bag that can go on the coach with you. Metal frame backpacks are not advised as their bulky shape makes packing the coach tricky, plus they are more likely to damage other luggage. On Camping trips, the maximum dimensions are 28” × 18” x 9” (70cm x 45cm x 23cm) with a maximum weight of 20 kilos (44lbs). If you are traveling on the European Trail, European Quest, Scandinavia, High Energy or Camping trip, you’ll need a towel. If your trip starts in London, you have the option of storing your excess luggage the day or evening before the trip departs. The Contiki Basement offers luggage storage as does the Royal National Hotel (for hotel guests only) for a nominal fee. On trips with included flights as part of the itinerary, your luggage should not exceed the weight restrictions imposed by airlines. Contiki is not responsible for any costs incurred for overweight luggage. You are
responsible for carrying your own luggage. Luggage is at the owner’s risk and insurance is strongly recommended. TRAVEL INSURANCE DO I NEED TRAVEL INSURANCE? A simple one - yes. It’s essential that you take out travel insurance to cover the likes of cancellation, personal injury and medical expenses before you travel with Contiki. Visit p.26-27 or contiki.com/insurance for more information on this, and for a quote on what Contiki can offer. SLEEPING HOTELS: Our hotel accommodation is always twin-share, staying in superior tourist class hotels, many of which are centrally located, with great facilities. Twin-share is 2 people sharing, either travelling together or as a same-sex room match. We also offer upgrades to single rooms for a supplement, but please note that on rare occasions the availability of single rooms at some hotels can be limited. We also offer a reduced price triple-share option – either three people travelling together, or as a triple-share same-sex room match. Note: On rare occasions due to reasons outside our control, alternative hotels may be used. Whilst it is always our intention to use hotels of a similar standard & location, no liability can be accepted for any variation of either. HOSTELS: Our hostels are some of the newest & best in Europe. They are maximum same sex quad-share, with private facilities. Our hostels also offer great extras as part of the experience, like bars, entertainment areas, washing facilities & conveniently located in cities. Note: Our Festival trips may feature multi-share accommodation for up to 8 people, and at times may be mixed gender, with shared facilities. SPECIAL STOPOVERS & CABINS: Our Special Stopovers & Contiki Village Cabin accommodation is exclusive to Contiki. Special Stopovers: Special Stopovers are a combination of same sex twin & quad-share depending on the destination, but never more than 4 people sharing. Travellers must bring their own towel. No sleeping bags are required. Stopovers are NOT hotels & our travellers are asked to assist with serving meals & washing up, it’s all part of the adventure. All Special Stopovers have hot showers, a bar, & WiFi. Most have laundry facilities & in some destinations, pools. As well as our Contiki-only On-site Team. Contiki Village cabins: Contiki Village cabins are located within some of Europe’s best campsites, each with private facilities. Travellers must bring their own towel, and our travellers are asked to assist with serving meals & washing up, it’s all part of the fun. Contiki Village facilities can include pools, WiFi in some locations, clothes washing facilities, and restaurants. As well as our Contiki-only On-site Team. CAMPING: Our accommodation is modern two-person tents with built in ground sheets & air mattresses at some of Europe’s best campsites. All campsites have hot water, bathroom facilities in shower blocks & many have clothes washing facilities, pools, WiFi, bars & shops. The standard of campsites in Europe can depend on location & should not be compared to those elsewhere around the world. On our camping trips, travellers need to take down & erect tents that are carried on the coach and travellers must also bring their own sleeping bag & towel. Travellers are asked to assist with preparing meals & washing up, it’s all part of the fun. CRUISING & OTHER: Sailing trips: We offer a variety of sailing options from cruise ships and traditional sailing cruise boats to small sailing yachts. On our cruising trips in Greece, we offer single, twin or quad share options all with private facilities. These cruise ships offer restaurants, pools, bars & nightly entertainment on board. On our traditional sailing cruise boats in Croatia and traditional gullets in Turkey, travellers will be in twin-share cabins with private facilities. These boats feature a dining room, bar & sundecks. On our small sailing yachts in Greece, we offer twin berth accommodation with shared facilities. Trains: On some trips, we use trains, these details are outlined on the individual itineraries. Overnight ferries: On overnight ferries, trips are provided with allocated airline style seating on deck. QUAD-SHARE ACCOMMODATION: On our Discoverer and Scandinavia & Russia trips advertised with hostel style accommodation and all High Energy trips, you are accommodated in same sex quad share accommodation. Where possible we try to accommodate male/female couples with other male/ female couples, however due to passenger numbers and rooming availability this cannot be guaranteed in all locations. We have free upgrades to twin share accommodation on these trips at certain locations but again this cannot be guaranteed. Please note on these trips, with the exception of the Russia trips, you will need to bring a towel. TRIPS WITHIN TRIPS You may notice on some of our trips that some groups join and leave at different stages. That’s because we
offer shorter trips within a larger itinerary, giving greater choice & flexibility so our travellers can choose when they start their trip and how long they travel for. Life’s an adventure and one that’s best spent sharing new experiences with new friends. So, if you have the time don’t take a mini break, instead, choose to see as much of Europe as possible with us.
CONTIKI+ We’re massive fans of our Contiki Travellers, particularly those that love us so much they come back for more. That’s why when you travel with us; we’ll offer you up to 5% discount on the land portion of selected trips from then on. And we’ve even wrestled our TTC sister brands (found here - ttc.com) into offering the same.
CONTIKI GLOSSARY VISIT Your trip includes a stop and you’ll get the opportunity to visit a specific site. SEE/VIEW You will drive/pass by the site so that you can see it. SIGHTSEEING TOUR A guided tour of a city or site. ORIENTATION TOUR Places of interest are pointed out, allowing you to go and explore them in your own time.
NO COMPULSORY TIPPING - REWARD ONLY EXCELLENCE! Every country in the world has different tipping policies & within service industries, tipping is common practice. All tipping is entirely optional, and not an expectation. If you feel your Contiki Team has delivered an outstanding level of service throughout your trip you may wish to tip them, but this is at your discretion, no one else’s.
MAKING YOUR BOOKING
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY? We get that sometimes plans change unexpectedly, so our cancellation policy offers you absolute flexibility and comes in two parts: FREEDOM GUARANTEE The Freedom Guarantee policy ensures that even if your travel plans change, you’ll never miss out or be charged fees for changing your booking. If you want to change the dates of your trip, swap onto another trip or even change your trip for a different region entirely, that’s all possible, without incurring fees*. FLEXDEPOSIT FlexDeposit is a policy you automatically get once you’ve paid a deposit on any Contiki trip, and works as credit towards a future Contiki adventure, ensuring your deposit money isn’t lost if you can’t travel on your original trip as intended. FlexDeposit can be used up until your 36th birthday, after which time it can then be transferred for use with any other travel brand within The Travel Corporation family of brands. It can also be gifted to a friend within 5 years of the original booking date. * You can find out more about both policies in the T&C’s on p.26-27 & on the following websites: contiki. com/freedomguarantee; contiki.com/flexdeposit
NOW THAT YOU’VE BOOKED
REGISTERING AT MYCONTIKI Just like you, we want your trip to run as smoothly as possible, so before you travel, make sure you register your details online at MyContiki.

HEALTH - DO I NEED VACCINATIONS? It is wise to check with your medical doctor or travel agent prior to departure if you require any vaccinations for the countries you’ll be visiting. Don’t forget to bring with you any medication that you may require en route, such as antihistamines or antibiotics. SAFETY INFORMATION Security is a major concern to all of us and the situation globally is constantly changing. Events around the world, coupled with the “Travel Advisories” put out by various governments, may at times necessitate changes to the accommodations and itinerary or even trip cancellation. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for further information in this regard. You must accept these risks involved in travel to any country that may experience security difficulties and accept responsibility for your own travel decisions. BOOKING SECURITY Contiki has been running trips for young people since 1962 & is a member of the Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA). The members include all the major tour operators who are financially bonded for your security & who maintain the highest standards. With the guarantees of these organisations, you know your holiday & money are secure with Contiki. 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 & our ebrochures). 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. PHOTOGRAPHY CREDITS Photos courtesy of © Oriel House Hotel Cork p.8 Hotel Room. Photos courtesy of © Peak Hotel Lucerne p.8 Hotel Room.

IF YOU CANCEL 3.1 Freedom Guarantee/FlexDeposit : We know that travel plans can change. If you need to cancel for any reason, your deposit will remain secure until you’re ready to use it. Or if you can’t go, your deposit value is also transferable, so you can gift your deposit at no extra cost. The value of the original deposit can be used as credit towards booking a new trip. The original deposit refers to the trip deposit only and excludes any additional deposits such as Inca Trail, or flights. Any monies already refunded are not applicable. The FlexDeposit will be applied as a discount on the final payment of your new trip. The amount allowed to be redeemed is equal to the original deposit amount paid. In the case of multiple deposits due to back to back trips, only one deposit amount can be credited per trip, they cannot be combined. However multiple trips can be booked using multiple FlexDeposits. Valid on all Contiki trips 7 days or longer. Credit is valid until the client turns 36. i.e fitting within Contiki’s age limit as per Contiki’s booking conditions. After turning 36 years of age, the FlexDeposit can be used with one of our sister brands, get inspired here ttc.com/brands. Credit can also be gifted to family or friends. To gift to family or friend the customer must email confirmation to Contiki stating the nominated name. Gifting only valid within 5 calendar years of the original booking. (eg cancelled in 2014, valid on trips up to end of 2019). FlexDeposit is not valid on existing bookings. FlexDeposit has no cash value and is non-refundable. FlexDeposit is not combinable with Early Payment Discounts or Last Minute Deals within 120 days of original travel date. 3.2 If you cancel more than 45 days before departure, your A$200 deposit will not be refunded. 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. This is expressed as a percentage of the holiday price & is calculated as follows: PERIOD OF NOTICE CANCELLATION FEE Over 45 days notice:...................Deposit is forfeited 45-22 days:......................................25% of trip fare 21-8 days:........................................30% of trip fare 7-1 days:..........................................50% of trip fare Day of departure:...........................100% of trip fare Where the percentage cancellation fee is less than the trip deposit, the cancellation fee will equal loss of deposit. If the reason for cancellation falls within the terms of any holiday insurance policy which you hold, then any such charges may, subject to the terms of your insurance policy, be refunded to you by the insurance company. All Cancellation policies valid as at 21st June, 2018, and are subject to change.
