IN-DEPTH EXPLORER GO LOCAL

See trip pages & contiki.com for all the details.

Our In-Depth Explorer trips are the perfect way to uncover a region in all its glory. Built around local experiences, regional tastes and a more chilled pace, get to know places like the East Coast, Alaska, the Pacific Northwest or

the best parts of Canada, just like a local would. More time in each destination and loads of free time means every day is a new adventure in which the memories come thick and fast.

EXPERIENCE IT YOUR WAY Make every moment count –– building your dream trip is what our experiences are all about. Travel is about the places you visit, but it’s what you do in that destination that really makes the difference. You want to be amazed. You want to connect to a culture. You want to do something utterly incredible; something you never even knew was possible. So that’s how we’ve designed our experiences. Iconic, unique and unexpected, take your pick and create a trip that is bespoke to you, and your budget. We split our experiences into two groups – Included Experiences and Free Time Add-Ons.

INCLUDED EXPERIENCES These are experiences included in the cost of your trip, because if trying deep dish pizza in Chicago, or cruising to Niagara Falls aren’t North American essentials, we don’t know what is...

FREE TIME ADD-ONS Want to do something memorable with your free time? Take your pick from our menu of awesome add-ons available to buy once you’re on your trip. We have heaps of options every day, so whether taking a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon or learning how to make gumbo is more your style, you can take on the USA and Canada your way.

A selection of group meals are included on all trips Mkbi FZgZ`^k DZ]^ Zm @nl ?kb^] <ab\d^g% F^fiabl 9\hgmbdbdZ]^

Beyond delicious included meals, I love sharing my favourite foodie destinations with travellers. Gus’ Fried Chicken is at the top of my little black book of foodie hotspots to send the Contiki Fam to in Memphis. It’s world famous, & a local tradition. We try to secure a table, though it’s gets really busy and sometimes grab it to take-away. It’s a simple all-American aesthetic with red checkered tablecloths & neon signs, and a menu of thigh, breast, macaroni and ‘slaw, that’s seriously delicious. We all order and pay, then sit down to share this taste of Memphis together. Sure, there’s nothing fancy about Gus’s Fried Chicken, but it’s the kind of perfect crispiness, spiciness, and succulent juiciness that makes fine dining seem pointless. Why can’t everything in life be this gloriously simple?

When we visit FareStart’s flagship restaurant in Seattle, it’s about more than its award winning food. It’s also about its incredible mission: using the restaurant’s revenue to create job training programmes that ultimately help to alleviate hunger, poverty and

homelessness in the local community. As well as training disadvantaged young people with vital, real-world skills, FareStart prepare meals for schools, shelters and daycare centres, all while eliminating waste, creating community value and transforming lives.

with - the friendships, the private jokes, the silly songs - all the stuff that makes travel such a social experience. Whether you join us ‘solo’ or bring a crew of your favourite travel buddies, you’ll leave with some of the best friends in the world.

@ellen_dowd Having to say goodbye sucks, and I am going to miss seeing all your faces everyday Thank you for creating some of the best memories I’ll ever have and making me laugh to the point of crying.

ACCOMMODATION

ACCOMMODATION

Tonight we’re staying at The Washington Park Hotel, it’s so close to South Beach... though there is also a pool for that 4 star luxe life!

This hotel is amazing... so glad I splurged on it. Will probably need to spend a few nights in a hostel to make up for it later...

BREAKFAST

BREAKFAST

Wake up & head to breakfast. It’s right downstairs & while I sip coffee & munch on breakfast, we discuss where we’re going today.

Ok, breakfast isn’t included, but I don’t want to walk and try to find a cafe right now - too much to do today! I guess I’ll just eat here.

TRANSPORTATION

TRANSPORTATION

It’s been so easy to get around. Rolled up yesterday in our Contiki coach. And today - super easy! Picked up from the hotel, now, bring on the activities!

Yesterday was a nightmare... taxi to the airport, flights, Uber to the next hotel. Oh man - don’t have time to catch public transport today... guess I’ll be back in an taxi to meet this city tour.

SIGHTSEEING

SIGHTSEEING

We saw so much today - went on a walking tour of Calle Ocho in Little Havana. The pastelitos were delish and the Cuban coffee - a burst of caffeine. Now we’re just going to finish it off with an included dinner at awesome local place Moreno’s.

I don’t really want to book a city tour but this place is huge – I won’t be able to do it on my own. Really want to try one of these local treats & defintley need a coffee. I hear Moreno’s is amazing for dinner, let’s go there, I’m starving.

TRAVEL BUDDIES

TRAVEL BUDDIES

I was nervous about travelling with strangers - but these guys have become such good friends now! We’re already planning trips to visit each other after our Contiki is finished!

It’s a bit sad I left those guys in Vegas - they seemed fun - would have been nice to get to know them a bit better. Oh well I’m sure I’ll meet other fun people on the way.

MAKE T R AV E L MATTER We believe sustainable tourism matters. Contiki Cares is our commitment to preserving the planet, wildlife, and giving back to the communities we visit for generations to come.

To make travel mutually beneficial for all, it’s vital that travellers invest in local communities. We support communities & empower local women through our experiences & with the support of our travellers. In Toronto, the StoryBoot Project teaches and shares the art of mukluk-making with local students

& visitors, helping to preserve the rich heritage of this community. In Seattle, we visit a local restaurant FareStart, where all proceeds are used to train apprentice chefs, preventing homelessness. So just by eating lunch, we give back to the community, & make travel matter.

Reduce and reuse isn’t just a catch phrase for us, it’s a lifestyle. We’ve committed to eliminating single use plastics at our offices, and on the road by 2022. In 2019 our crew will all be equipped with innovative, reusable bottles, and tote bags which travellers will be able to buy on trip.

In 2017 we introduced e-docs which allows our travellers to receive their documents digitally. There’s no need for paper and we planted 42, 776 trees in travellers’ names in 2018 as part of our plant a tree initiative.

The world’s wildlife is balancing on a dangerous precipice. Partnering with leading wildlife organisations such as Wildlife SOS & the Wilderness Foundation, we’re determined

All of this, whilst supporting projects to keep our oceans & coastlines clean. Our offices in North America take time out of their schedules to pick up rubbish off the side of the roads, so it doesn’t end up in our water ways.

to do something about it. We support and educate on ethical animal experiences and protect the world’s most at risk wildlife from extinction.

Re-defining river cruising for the young and young at heart.

Giving you freedom of choice to create your own adventure.

The wild child of Scottish adventures.

I had never even considered seeing Europe on a river cruise but after travelling with @UbyUniworld, I don’t think I will travel any other way.

I really enjoyed the @busabout.official style of travel and especially loved all the optional stops. They were little gems hidden within this amazing continent. It is a great way to meet new people, and have the benefit of travelling with others, even if you’re solo.

If you want to get the full Scottish experience, meet incredible people from around the world and have the best guides you should totally book with these guys. I did the 10 day tour and had a blast and ended up feeling Scottish.

This tour is worth every penny & is probably the best $$$ I've spent on travel in a long time. The places we saw, things we did/learned, and the cultural knowledge we have gained is far beyond what I expected any tour to provide. It also felt like the most culturally immersive tour I've been on and I really felt like we got the opportunity to live like a local and experience true southern charm :)

During winter, three of our existing year-round trips include time in the snow playground of Lake Tahoe: • Winter Wild Western • Winter LA To The Bay • Winter California Highlights

From December to March, these three trips feature the same itinerary as the summer trips up until Las Vegas. After this, they skip the visit to Yosemite & spend three nights in snowy Lake Tahoe resort for fun on & off the slopes. These trips feature less time in San Francisco, see the trip page price panels for more. WHERE YOU’LL BE: Lake Tahoe is one of North America’s most beautiful lakes & also one of its best ski resorts. Straddling two states – California & Nevada – it’s the perfect blend of amazingly spectacular scenery, pristine mountains & pumping nightlife. Where else can you find a place that offers all this natural beauty, great snow

& the 24-hour non-stop bling of Vegasstyle casinos & clubs? Our travellers can hit the slopes at Heavenly, one of Tahoe’s awesome resorts. The average annual snowfall in Tahoe is 10.67 metres, so fantastic conditions are the norm. With so much great terrain, there’s a perfect balance of something for everyone – beginners,

intermediates & advanced skiers. The slopes not your thing? There’s lots to pick from including, ice-skating, snowmobiling, sleigh rides or head to Tahoe Village & chill out at a spa. Note: Ski passes, equipment & clothing hire are not included in the trip price.

BEFORE YOU BOOK WHAT’S INCLUDED THE ESSENTIALS All accommodation, transport, and a good handful of meals, are included in the cost of your Contiki trip (we offer breakfast most days, plus a cherry-picked selection of local, fresh and tasty meals). We also provide our Included Experiences, 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 dream-team of Contiki staff; our Trip Managers and Drivers, and English-speaking Local Guides.

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED Flights, airport transfers or ferries to and from your start and end destination are not included in the cost of your trip. 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 offer Free Time AddOns, 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.75) 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 depending on your nationality you may require a visa to enter the USA and Canada. You are responsible for obtaining all necessary visas prior to the departure of your trip. Contact your travel agent (if applicable) to determine if you require a visa and how to get it. You will require a machine readable passport, 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. It is now mandatory that all nationals, or citizens, of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries who plan to travel to the United States for temporary business or pleasure under the VWP receive an electronic travel authorization through ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) prior to boarding a U.S. bound airplane or vessel. Applications must be filed online at least 72 hours prior to your departure date, at time of printing, the cost is currently US$14.

Fees range from US$25-$100. • Contiki reserves the right to refuse to accept larger suitcases on the trip. • If you have your own ski/boarding equipment, you may bring one pair of boots & skis or boots & snowboard. Otherwise, your Trip Manager can help arrange these for you in Lake Tahoe & on the Powder Rush trip. • Baggage is carried at the owner’s risk & baggage insurance is strongly recommended. Remember, if your trip includes a flight you are also subject to airline baggage restrictions. • Contiki is not responsible for any costs incurred for overweight or additional luggage .

WHAT SHOULD I PACK FOR MY TRIP? Comfortable, casual clothing for day wear & ‘smart/casual’ for dining & nights out. Remember that in Autumn/Winter you will need warmer clothing as well as a raincoat/jacket. A pair of comfortable walking shoes is essential. For further details, please refer to contiki.com.

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, medical expenses and loss of personal property. It’s also super important to check that your insurance covers all of the activities you’ll be partaking in, particularly any adventure activities for all you adrenaline junkies. Visit contiki.com/insurance for more information on this.

HOTELS:

SLEEPING WHERE WILL I STAY?

Our hotel accommodation is always twin-share (except in some Unique Special Stays), 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. Please note that on rare occasions the availability of single rooms at some hotels can be limited. There is WiFi at most hotel accommodation so you can gram/snap/chat to your heart’s content.

CAMPING:

Our accommodation is twin-share in roomy tents with comfy sleeping mats. Sleeping bags on the Southwest National Parks p.65, & Mighty Yosemite p.64 are included. Sleeping bags for the Grand Alaska trip can be rented for $35.00 for the trip (price subject to change). Camping is a ‘family” experience with shared facilities, tents will be set up and taken down by occupants, and all travellers will pitch in to cook.

GLAMPING:

This accommodation is triple-share, with options to upgrade to a double or single, in upscale, safari style tents with beds & shared facilities. Note: On occasion, 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. WiFi is not available at remote Special Stays.

from the United States, with 18 being the legal age in Alberta & Quebec & 19 being the legal age in British Columbia & Ontario for the above activities.

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: 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.75 & by visiting: contiki.com/freedomguarantee

NOW THAT YOU’VE BOOKED REGISTER AT MY CONTIKI 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 My Contiki. Look out for this icon at contiki.com to sign up. This only takes a few minutes and means we’ll have info on: • Your personal details, including your email address and phone number. Your emergency contact info and travel insurance details, just in case we need it. • Any dietary requirements you may have. • You’ll also need to make sure your trip is paid in full 60 days prior to departure . You’ll also find out where your Contiki Trip will start and exactly what accommodation you’ll be staying in. You’ll be able to see & download your docs approx. 21 days before your trip departure, saving time & trees (we even plant one for every traveller that select eDocs!). Visit contiki.com/mycontiki

• Any Free Time Add-Ons you would like to do on your trip. • Any additional sightseeing you plan on doing in your Free Time, that is not covered either by our Included Experiences or Free Time Add-Ons. • Any additional personal expenses. This includes alcohol, shopping, and any evening entertainment not included.

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 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 traveller 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 at www.ttc.com/brands/. Credit can also be gifted to family or friends. To gift to family or friends 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 Your deposit is non-refundable upon cancellation by you. 3.3 Upon cancellation you will be liable to pay a fee to cover the estimate of cost and expenses incurred by us in the terms of the schedule set out hereunder. This is expressed as a percentage of the holiday price and is calculated as follows: CANCELLATION CHARGES (PER PERSON) IF YOU CANCEL YOUR TRIP PERIOD OF NOTICE CANCELLATION FEE CANCELLATION FEE DAYS BEFORE TRAVEL LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 60+ days notice: ..............Deposit is forfeited..........Deposit is forfeited 59-16 days notice:...........30% of trip fare ..............60% of trip fare 15-8 days notice: .............50% of trip fare ..............90% of trip fare 7-1 days notice: ...............90% of trip fare ..............100% of trip fare Day of departure: .............100% of trip fare ............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 16th May, 2019, and are subject to change. Final policy will be confirmed at time of booking. 3.4 In the event that you should not be granted a visa, we have devised this unique scheme to protect you against the necessary cancellation fees detailed above. For trips costing up to US$1,000 - waiver fee US$79 per person. For trips costing over US$1,000 - waiver fee US$89 per person. Waiver fees are payable at the time of booking and are non-refundable. They do not apply to cancellations due to changes of mind or for medical reasons. To protect yourself against these and other eventualities, you should ask your Travel Agent about a suitable insurance policy. N.B. This scheme is applicable only in the event that you provide documentary proof of having a visa application refused. To be eligible for the purchase of the visa waiver insurance, travellers are encouraged to do so as early as possible when they make their trip booking. If we do not hear from you or your travel agent 30 days before the trip, we will assume that your visa application has not been approved and we will have to cancel your reservation. However, you can always re-book your trip (subject to availability) should your visa approval come inside 30 days. Bookings made within 30 days without the necessary visa approvals are not eligible for this visa waiver insurance and will be subject to the standard cancellation terms and conditions. 3.5 Any cancellation of additional services booked prior to & after your trip booking, such as pre & post accommodation, transfers and pre bookable Free time Add-Ons are subject to the following cancellation fees: PERIOD OF NOTICE CANCELLATION FEE 60 – 22 days......................................................................................... 25% 21 – 15 days......................................................................................... 30% 14 days to day of departure ...............................................................100% 3.6 These cancellation fees are in addition to any cancellation fees that may be levied by your travel agent.

However trip deposits can be used as credit to a new trip, see FlexDeposit. 4.4 The new departure price would not be eligible for early payment discounts (EPD) if within 60 days before departure. 4.5 A name change to a different person will be treated as a cancellation. 4.6 A fee will be charged for any alteration to airline arrangements made by Contiki as per clause 3 5.
