    Youve picked up this brochure, which means Youre alreadY having ideas about roaming europe off-peak. get excited and readY to explore.

    THE CONTIKI

    DIFFERENCE

    EuropE off-pEakRoam Europe off-peak with Contiki. Covered in winter charm, not covered in tourists. And at significantly lower prices. Which means more pizza, pasta, espresso, gelato, cannoli, tiramisu, and olive oil than you can imagine. It also means you can enjoy all the monuments, adventures, and attractions Europe has to offer without breaking the bank.

    MorE choicEEndless trips, infinite possibilities, happiness guaranteed. Want a trip that sees you sitting in the sauna after a long day on the slopes? No problem. Rather be shuffling your way through a manic medina in Marrakech? Thats cool too. With endless trips to choose from, disappointment is an impossible outcome.

    TravEl ExpErTsEnough experience and enthusiasm to cover a Dutch flower field. Take half a century of experience, team it with youthful enthusiasm, and youve got yourself a company known worldwide as the experts of travel.

    BEsT valuEWe offer value were proud of, one that is unmatched. We dare you to try proving otherwise and doing this any other way for less cash. The value you get for your money means you have more left over to spend on the important things like French perfume or bottle of vino from the Rhine Valley.

    MorE includEdDo more; open your wallet less. Thats our motto. Breakfasts and boat rides, cheese farms and Chianti wine tastings, regal churches and river cruises. With our suite of inspiring inclusions youll be doing more and opening your wallet less.

    18-35 YEar olds onlYTravel with those who share your youthful curiosity and healthy dose of maturity. Its not about being hyper-selective. Its about ensuring we get a posse together thats in the same frame of mind. Sharing a youthful curiosity and a healthy dose of maturity is paramount to having an insanely good time.

Our trips give you the chance to do exactly that. Its a choose-your-own-adventure style of traveling that allows you to sign up for optional activities that tickle your wanderlust fancy, or opt for solo time if thats more your jam.

    What would traveling be without mealtime and local culinary delights? We dare not imagine.

    CONTIKI CARES

    VALUING OUR RELATIONSHIPSResponsible travel is as much about the communities we touch and friendships we make as it is our actions and choices. Heres just a taste of these:

    FORTISSIMO, ITALYThe relationship with Fortissimo, our Italian ground handlers, began back in 1968 when Contiki met a young Paulo Fortini, Fortissimos founder. Opening his business in the 1990s as a result of the continued support of Contiki, Fortissimo continues to provide Contiki with on the ground support in Italy to this day.

    HOPFGARTEN, AUSTRIAThe Contiki / Hopfgarten relationship began way back in the winter of 1969, when a van of Contiki travelers en route to the Tyrol region were encouraged to change their plans and spend their trip in Hopfgarten by local ski instructor and ski school owner Lois Biembacher. Fast forward to the present day, and Contiki is completely integrated into the local Hopfgarten community and Gasthof Schneck. Contiki travelers purchase ski passes, ski lessons and ski hire from local businesses, and take advantage of adventure activities including bobsledding, bike hire and rafting, all of which help to boost the local economy.

    ATLAS REIZENGercos story began back in 2000 when he worked under Dick Vermaats, owner of a Dutch coach company that Contiki had used since 1972. When Dick retired, Contiki purchased his fleet of coaches and promoted Gerco to Managing Director of the newly formed company Atlas Reizen. Contikis relationship with Gerco has always been a strong one and as Contiki grew, so did ATLAS. Today, ATLAS has a fleet of 76 Contiki coaches.
