= Tour Operates Year Round

When it comes to creating unforgettable holidays for young travellers, Contiki is way ahead of the rest. We’ve been doingthis for over 40 years and have learned just what it takes to make a destination an experience. That’s why we now offerover 100 different itineraries through Europe, America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. To see what Contikiexperience interests you, we’ve briefly detailed them.

Sure, we'll show you the Sydney Opera House, Uluru and The Great Barrier Reef,but we'll also take you off the beaten track to places you never imagined. See thestaggeringly diverse landscapes from a hot air balloon in the desert, or through thewhitewash as you jet-boat down a Tasmanian river. Find out how bright the stars arewhen you are 3,000km from the nearest city, or what the skin of a crocodile feelslike up close. We want you to experience it all...

Nowhere else on earth has such staggeringly beautiful and diverse landscapes, fromthe Franz Josef Glacier to the alpine playground of Queenstown, the boiling thermalpools of Rotorua to the untouched sand dunes of 90 Mile beach. But don’t just seethe glacier, actually walk on it. Check out the view, from the end of a bungy cord, orskydiving at 10,000 feet! There's white water rafting, jet boating or take a surf atone of the wild and beautiful West Coast beaches.

Land of the maple leaf, blessed with more than its fair share of natural wondersfrom the majestic Rocky Mountains to picturesque glaciers, from clear blue snowfed lakes to towering old growth forests. And there's more to Canada than just thegreat outdoors - it's home to some of North America's most unique andcosmopolitan cities. Feel like you're in France on the cobbled streets of old Quebec,soak up Montreal's European atmosphere, take a ride to the top of Toronto's CNTower or pick up Vancouvers laid back west coast vibes...

Feel the life of New York City, ride on Sunset Boulevard, surf in Hawaii, behumbled by the Grand Canyon, let the good times roll in New Orleans andexperience the sensory wonderland that is Las Vegas. Take time to catch abaseball game, go white water rafting, soar on a scenic helicopter flight and visitDisney, the opportunities are endless.

Discover the American landscape in all its splendour: its mountains, its deserts, itsforests and its beaches ... with Contiki, the land of the free will be just that!

Focus on some of Europe’s greatest cities!

Time Out offers a range tours from action packed city getaways to grand multi-country tours. We have in-depth itineraries to help you delve deeper into aparticular region, island-hopping and cruising trips in the Eastern Mediterranean, even special interest trips to events like Oktoberfest and theEdinburgh Festival.

WE DELIVER AN EXPERIENCE”“we Don’t just Offer a Destination

...

Think of a place you’ve always wanted to visit. Now imagine going there with people who know it inside out.

We can put you exactly where you want to be…the bar that’s not in the guide book, an obscure museum,

the festival that only comes round once a year. We know what it takes to make a destination an

experience!

• Our Reputation - with over 40 years of experience we are working even harder to stay number one.

• Everyone’s 18-35 – we know that a great holiday is not only about where you travel, but it’s also

about who you travel with! Contiki is for 18-35 year olds. This means: No kids. No parents. It’s just

you and a bunch of people your age from all over the world, having a great time!

• Hassle Free - our professional staff are always on hand to provide info, suggestions and

directions so your holiday is completely hassle free.

• Value – every tour is fantastic value as the price includes so much. Compare the price

of doing it on your own and our unbelievable value soon becomes obvious. We keep it

very affordable, meaning you’ll be able to do a whole lot more for less.

• Variety – we’ve found the best places to take you, and have learned the perfect

blend of sightseeing, adventure, free time, fun, local culture and socialising. No two

tours are the same!

• Uniqueness – the Contiki know-how, we’ll take you to place you hadn’t imagined and

wouldn’t have found yourself.

• Freedom and Choice – Independence is important. Our tours include loads of

sightseeing, extra activities and free time, so there’s plenty of choice and flexibility for

you to do what you want to do.

• Fun - we never forget that the reason you’re on holiday is to have a fantastic time.

Contiki has grown from strength to

strength for 2 simple reasons; our tour

managers and drivers and their passion

for making your holiday your best ever.

Our training is more extensive than

any other operators. Each of our road

crew has been through intensive

training and the key to their success

is the perfect combo of enthusiasm,

friendliness and experience.

From the crew you meet, to the crew

behind the scenes, Contiki’s network

of professionals have all travelled,

and are still doing so, because just

like you, it’s their passion. They’re

‘locals’ so they’ll bring more to your

experience with information, suggestions, music and stories - they’ll take you

out of the guidebook and into the heart of the real thing.

Great holidays mean entertaining your taste buds as well as your eyes. Contiki

don’t just dish up a feast of adventure – we make sure you sample all the

delights local cuisine has to offer.

Every Contiki tour serves up a selection of breakfasts, lunches or dinners.

While some meals are included, we have deliberately left other meal times

free so you can sample the local cuisine for yourself (mainly at lunch when

you are out and about exploring anyway).

N.B. Included meals on each itinerary are marked:

Breakfasts (B); Lunches (L); Dinners (D).

Note: Please let us know any special dietary requirements when you book. We know meals make a big

impression so we endeavour to offer tasty, fresh and healthy meals that please and satisfy all our travellers!

THE CONTIKI MENU

THE COACH APPROACH

Let someone else do the driving while you kick back and enjoy the ultimate

road trip. Contiki’s coaches are a modern fleet of comfortable air-conditioned,

multi-wheeled goldfish bowls with wide screen windows for all the best views,

reclining seats and top-of-the-range audio and DVD systems. We believe the

journey is half the fun – so sit back, relax and enjoy the hassle-free ride!

On each itinerary we list the included highlights you’ll experience. Travelling with

Contiki, you’re going to see and do more than you ever imagined… here’s a

snapshot of what’s on offer:

• Marvel at Uluru’s (Ayers Rock) spectacular colours at sunset & sunrise

• Peak through the Berlin Wall to see where East meets West

• Soak up the sun and enjoy the fun in the French Riviera & Greek Islands

• Venture into Red Square in Moscow & soak up the midnight sun in Norway

• Discover ancient wonders at Athens’s Acropolis & Egypt’s Great Pyramids

Please note: The map ‘highlights’ in each itinerary page show a mix of included activities and those

free time optional activities which are some of the most memorable experiences of your holiday.

You’ll be amazed how much free time you’ll have with Contiki. We’ve found the

perfect mix of sightseeing and free time, allowing you the flexibility to create

your trip of a lifetime.

We know everyone is different, so in your free time you’ll have a choice to enhance

your itinerary with Contiki’s ‘Optional Activities and Evenings Out’. Based on what

our past travellers have asked for, they’re called Optionals as you have a choice to

opt in or opt out and do exactly as you wish.

Each Optional gives your trip something special that makes a good holiday, great!

Many are once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Blending culture, adventure and fun – Optionals are there to help you really make

the most of your trip.

• Maximum fun – guaranteed!

• The greatest experiences of the countries you visit – so when you head

home, no stone has been left unturned.

• Plenty of free time, even if you participate in all the activities on offer.

• The opportunity to get off the beaten track to meet and mix with the locals.

• Great value - Contiki have negotiated on your behalf, so you’ll enjoy the benefit

of paying ‘mates rates’!

• On each itinerary page, you’ll find a sample of the great Optionals offered on tour.

A full choice of options available for each itinerary and their prices will come with

your final documents or you can find more info at www.contiki.com.

• Optionals are only arranged on tour, not beforehand, so you will be able to make

your choice and book them then. Payment by cash, travellers cheques or by credit

cards only. NB: In Europe, payment by cash only.

• These options are authentically local, so we don’t own or operate them, but we

have checked them out and made sure that they are amongst the best.

Some of these activities involve outdoor adventure and can be physically demanding, so there’s

always an element of risk. You should make your own decisions about these activities and only

participate in activities that you feel comfortable you can handle. It’s also a good idea to check

that your insurance includes your participation in adventure activities.
