Got a question?Answers to frequently asked questions & things you need to know:

How much luggage can I bring?On our tours, luggage is restricted to a maximum

suitcase size of 73cm x 50cm x 25cm (29” x 20”

x 10”) & maximum weight of 20 kg (44lbs) plus

one small hand/day bag that can go on the coach

with you.

Contiki reserves the right to refuse to accept

larger & heavier suitcases on tour.

On Hogmanay, St. Patrick’s & Ski tours, you’ll

need a towel which can be purchased from

Contiki in London, if necessary.

On Ski holidays you may bring one pair of ski

boots & skis or a snowboard. Any luggage over

the restricted size or amount can be stored with

Contiki in London at a small charge. Baggage is

carried at the owner’s risk & baggage insurance is

strongly recommended.

Do I need vaccinations?At the time this brochure went to press

(May, 2012), no vaccinations were necessary.

However, it is wise to check up-to-date

information with your travel agent prior to

departure. Don’t forget to bring with you any

medication that you may require en route, such

as antihistamines, antibiotics.

Do I need visas?Please read carefully. Depending on your

nationality, you may require visas to enter certain

countries included in your tour. You are fully

responsible for obtaining all necessary visas

prior to the departure of your tour. Contiki are

not legally permitted to knowingly allow anybody

who does not have a valid visa to join a tour.

Consult your travel agent to determine which

visas you require & how to obtain them.

Schengen Visas

The majority of our tours travel in countries that

are covered by the Schengen Agreement which

relates to visas. Citizens of many countries – eg.

Australia, United States, Canada, New Zealand –

can travel in the Schengen area without a visa. If

you require a visa to enter the Schengen area you

only need to obtain one visa which will allow you

to travel in all Schengen countries Schengen visas

can be issued for single entry or multiple entries.

If your tour travels outside of the Schengen area

at any point you will require a multiple entry visa.

The tours that require multiple entry Schengen

visas are listed below:

Visas for Non-Schengen Countries

Some of our tours also visit countries that are not

covered by the Schengen Agreement. You may

require visas for countries including the United

Kingdom, Ireland & Egypt. Depending on your

nationality it may be possible to obtain visas for

Egypt upon arrival – you should check before you

depart for your tour.

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 tour & will

result in you incurring considerable expense &

inconvenience.

3. It is better to apply for all visas through your

travel agent before you leave home. Your travel

agent will contact Contiki for full details.

4. Contiki will provide you with visa contacts from

our London base at the Royal National Hotel,

if necessary.

Past traveller 5% discountEligibility for this discount is based on clients

having booked & travelled with Contiki (or one

of our Travel Corporation sister brands, visit

www.thetravelcorporation.com for details) within

5 years of their last tour. Clients must have

completed a tour before they can redeem the

discount on a subsequent tour booking. Only

one discount can be redeemed per past traveller

annually. A deposit must be received before the

discount can be applied to the booking. It is not

available on pre & post-tour accommodation

rates & other selected products. The discount

applies to brochured prices only & cannot be

market promotions.

Brochure authenticityWe 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.au & our e-brochures). 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.

Am I expected to tip on tour?Every country in the world has different tipping

policies & in Europe, within service industries,

tipping is common practice. Tipping is totally

optional & only given if you feel the service has

exceeded your expectations. Your Tour Manager

will assist you with any questions about this.

If you think your Contiki Team have done an

exceptional job then you may wish to tip them.

This is entirely discretionary – it’s completely

up to you.

Online check-inIt is strongly recommended that you check in to your tour prior to departure at contiki.com.au/checkin. Checking in will you save time on your fi rst day of tour, give you essential know before you go information & also ensure that Contiki can contact you in the unlikely event of any changes to your trip due to matters out of our control. For more information on how to get more before & after your tour see p.5.

If such improvements can be made, or unforeseen circumstances beyond our control make changes necessary, we reserve the right to vary itineraries & to substitute hotels. Contiki is not responsible for any other travel arrangements affected due to our changes or cancellations.

5. LIABILITY5.1 Your travel agent shall, on the receipt of any monies, hold such monies for you until the booking is confirmed at which time those monies shall be remitted promptly by your travel agent to us. All such monies received by us will be deposited as required by law. 5.2 We will be entitled to keep for our account any interest earned on such monies.5.3 All monies paid by you to us through your travel agent or otherwise, whether in respect of the deposit or full payment, may be disbursed by us as & when we see fit, in respect of the services to be provided &/or fees payable under the tour program. The payment of a deposit or any other monies in respect of your tour shall be deemed to be an authorisation for disbursement thereof as aforesaid.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES1. BOOKING YOUR HOLIDAY1.1 In order to reserve your holiday, a deposit of A$200, per person per tour, or the full amount payable if the booking is made within 45 days of your departure, must be submitted to Contiki by you in respect of that holiday. This payment is in addition to any deposit required by your travel agent. The deposit is accepted as a first installment of the holiday price by Contiki only once the booking has been confirmed in writing by Contiki or your travel agent.1.2 Your land reservation will be confirmed on receipt of a non refundable deposit of A$200 per person per tour which must be within 7 days of booking or the reservation will automatically be cancelled.1.3 Any special meal requirements will be made on a request basis only. Contiki cannot guarantee special meal requests nor will it assume any responsibility or liability if clients’ special meal requirements are not fulfilled.

2. PAYING THE BALANCE2.1 The balance of the holiday must be paid no later than 45 days prior to your departure date which shall be by the due date stated on the confirmation issued to you by Contiki. When making multi-tour bookings, full payment is due no later than 45 days prior to your departure date.

2.2 If payment isn’t made by the due date, Contiki may assume that you have cancelled & cancellation charges in accordance with clause 3 below will be levied by Contiki.2.3 Tickets & other documents won’t be forwarded until full payment has been received by us. The documentation will be sent approximately 21 days prior to your departure.2.4 In the case of Late Bookings made within 45 days of your departure date, the full cost of the holiday will be payable immediately on booking & we reserve the right to provide all travel documents at the holiday departure point. 2.5 Contiki reserves the right to cancel the booking & apply cancellation charges should payments not be received within the above specified periods.

3. IF YOU CANCEL3.1 Notice of cancellation must be made in writing to Contiki.3.2 If you cancel more than 45 days before departure, your A$200 deposit will not be refunded, nor can it be credited to any other booking.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 FEEOver 45 days notice: ........................................ Deposit is forfeited45-22 days: ......................................................27.5% of tour fare21-8 days: ...........................................................33% of tour fare7-1 days: .............................................................55% of tour fareDay of departure: ...............................................100% of tour fare

Where the percentage cancellation fee is less than the tour 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.3.4 Any cancellation of additional services booked prior to & after your tour booking, such as pre & post accommodation & transfers, that are cancelled within 14 days of the tour departure incur a 100% cancellation fee.3.5 These cancellation fees are in addition to any cancellation fees that may be levied by your travel agent.

4. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING4.1 If after your booking has been confirmed & more than 45 days prior to tour departure, you wish to change to an alternate departure date or you wish to change to a different Contiki holiday, you may do so subject to availability & provided the new holiday date is also in this brochure.4.2 A fee of A$35 per person will be charged for any revision or alteration made to a reservation after the booking is confirmed unless the change increases the value of the booking. A change of tour date, tour itinerary booking within 45 days of tour departure will be treated as a cancellation, & normal cancellation fees will apply except when the change is to an earlier departure date of equivalent or greater value in which case a A$35 per person amendment fee will be charged.
