    Your money is protected. TourRadar is an authorized agent of Contiki, and we handle payments so you don’t have to. Payment is securely transferred to the operator based on your departure date.

  • Insurance

    Our travel protection from our award-winning partner, XCover, means you and your travel companions can book with peace of mind knowing there’s protection available in case your trip doesn’t go to plan. At checkout you will be able to select between different options in case you or the tour are eligible for insurance. In case no option is available, you are always able to purchase travel insurance outside of TourRadar.
