Does the company have an extra service for Booking the Airfare

Yes, Contiki offers assistance with booking airfare as an additional service, making it easier to coordinate travel dates with your tour itinerary. However, Contiki tours are exclusively designed for travelers aged up to 35. In this case, we recommend exploring our other brands, such as Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Costsaver or Luxury Gold which offer guided tours suitable for a wider age range.

We are vegeterian so meals can be provided (no meat included, dairy will work). If we are visiting any place where we want to take admission we have to buy the ticket or this is included in the package.

Can we start directly from Amsterdam? I am currently in Paris will not able to join from London for the trip.

  I hold a Switzerland Schengen visa ,Is that ok for this travel?
- ContikiOperator•Written July 2025
  The tour package already includes accommodation. Should you require additional nights, we can arrange them for you at an added cost, depending on availability. Please be advised that the adventures we offer will not include international airfare, as travellers can join the trip from many different countries. For luggage policy, main should be a single bag with size: 29"x20"x10" (73x50x25cm), weight: 44 lbs. (20kg). For a carry-on/hand luggage, it is restricted to one piece per person, not exceeding 12"x11"x6" (30x28x14cm) to fit under your coach seat or in the small overhead compartment. Holding a Switzerland-issued Schengen visa is generally acceptable for this tour, as long as it's a valid multiple-entry visa and covers the entire duration of your trip.
