What is included in my Contiki booking?
All accommodation and internal transport is covered, as well as a few meals (usually breakfasts) and some cherry-picked sights and activities in each location. You’ll need to budget for non-catered meals and a few ‘Free Time Add-Ons’, which are additional experiences you can get involved in for an extra cost. You’ll also need to cover the cost of your own travel insurance, visas and connecting travel to and from the start and end locations.
When do I need to pay for my Contiki trip?
If you’re booking more than 45 days before the trip’s departure date, you'll only need to pay an initial deposit upfront - the amount of this depends on the trip. The full amount needs to be paid 45 days before departure.
