You also agree that your travel agent is independent of Contiki & our control; & that unless expressly authorised by us in writing, we are not bound by or liable for anything affecting us that the agent may or may not do. OVERLAPPING/MODULAR TRIPS To offer our travellers more flexibility around when they start & how long they travel for, some of our trips are sections (or modules) of larger itineraries. This means that some of them overlap – for example, some of your group may have already been travelling before you join them, & may continue travelling after your adventure has come to an end. AGE RESTRICTIONS Travellers must be aged between 18 & 35 inclusive at the commencement of your trip to travel with Contiki. Our trips are designed for this age group, so please bear that in mind when you book. On some experiences as part of your trip you may be joined by other travellers who are not in the 18-35 age group. Countries have different age limits for the consumption of alcohol & other activities. You must ensure you satisfy the age limits before participating in any activity with age limits (such as the consumption of alcohol) & you release us from all liability & claims arising from your inability to participate in such activities.

FAQ

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED

Flights to your start destination & back home again, serious bits like travel insurance & any visas you might need, fun stuff like drinks in the club, ubers from the club, tips, those sneaky tipples you took from the mini bar - all this kind of stuff is on you.

WHAT ARE FREE TIME ADD-ONS? Your trip will come with a bunch of awesome included experiences, but our Free Time Add-Ons are the experiences we’ve picked that we think will take your trip to a whole new level. The experiences are built around activities or topics we know you love, so think food, adventure, exploration, history, culture, fashion, music - you name it. But it’s up to you if you want to do them - travel exactly how you like to. IS TIPPING COMPULSORY? Some tips are included for services on trip, however tips/gratuities for your Coach Driver, Trip Manager & Local Guides are not. If you feel like they’ve done a good job, then it’s polite to tip them, but it’s never mandatory. WHAT IF I LEAVE THE TRIP EARLY? Just as we don’t cover your flights to or from the trip, we don’t cover the cost of getting home, even if you leave the trip early, due to bad behaviour, illness, or any other reason. IS SKI OR SNOWBOARD HIRE INCLUDED? Ski & snowboard hire along with lessons are not included in Ski trips but we can happily help you out with where to book everything you need.

PASSPORTS, VISAS & OTHER ENTRY & EXIT REQUIREMENTS

WHAT PASSPORT DO I NEED? All guests must be in possession of a machinereadable passport valid for 6 months after their trip return date along with applicable visas. Due to government imposed security/ immigration measures, passport & emergency contact information is required for all guests prior to the release of travel documents. WILL I NEED A VISA? Because the details change so much depending on what country you’re from & what country or countries you’re travelling to - we can’t tell you which Visas, Electronic Travel Authorisations (ETAs), affidavits or immunisations you’ll need. In some countries you may be subject to entry (reciprocity) fees &/or departure taxes/exit fees which will becollected at the airports upon entry/ departure by local government authorities. We do definitely recommend getting any visas you need before you travel, as it’s not always possible or quick to get them at the borders. For all the latest info on the travel docs, visas, requirements & fees associated with entry & exit of countries, you must check with your Travel Agent or local consular services. It’s up to you to ensure you have all the right documents with you when you travel.

SPECIAL REQUESTS If you have any dietary requests, allergies or any other special request, please advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier, this is not confirmation that all requests will be met. It’s your responsibility to double check & reconfirm any requirements with all holiday suppliers.

WHAT IS A KICK-START MEETING? Every trip has a kick-start meeting, hosted by the Trip Manager, which happens either the night before the trip is due to start or in the evening of the first day of the trip . The kick-start meeting is where you will meet some of your group for the first time, as well as your Trip Manager. In this meeting, your Trip Manager will give you an overview of how things work on Contiki, a health & safety briefing, as well as take all necessary information/documentation they may need from you.
