Our tours include more sights, more activities, more authentic local food and more spectacular places to stay. We give you heaps of free time to relax, explore or just hang out. And wherever you go, your Contiki Crew is there to help you have the time of your life. We create the journeys so you can create the stories. Start your story with us.

Whichever way you choose to travel, we'll hook you up with some special places to stay. From an Eco-lodge in the Daintree Rainforest in Australia, a Roman Villa in Italy or a night on a traditional Junk boat in Vietnam, you can travel your own way. You can even plan your trip around festivals and events, such as Oktoberfest and New Year's Eve.

Free time is about doing what you're into as you take in new places and cultures. Hunt down some local music, spend some time lounging, biking, shopping or just exploring. All of our trips are planned with loads of free time, so you can head off and do your own thing. Need some inspiration for things to do? Just ask the ultimate travel experts - your Contiki Crew.

We've hand picked plenty of exciting optional activities as well, so you can get even more out of your free time. Go wine tasting in the Rhine Valley, helicopter over the Grand Canyon, or dive the Great Barrier Reef. We negotiate great prices and organise it all, so it's easy to personalise your trip.

Nothing beats having a travel mate who knows your destination like the back of their hand. Our team of over 400 Tour Managers, Drivers, On-site teams and On-road Cooks represent the very best in their fields, and they're committed and focused on one thing: You.

When you travel with Contiki, you get more included as part of your tour than going any other way - more must-see sights, more activities & more amazing places to stay. Plus our local expertise means you'll get a truly local experience. But don't just take our word for it. Check out some tour reviews and let fellow travellers tell you in their own words what makes Contiki different.
