Concept/Budget Tours

Contiki’s Concept/Budget Tours are perfect for travelers looking to do a lot without spending a lot of money. With great itineraries like the 12-day European Horizon and the 24-day Russia and Scandinavia, Concept/Budget Tours allow you to explore the famous cities of Europe as well as smaller cities less frequented by the tourists. Contiki Concept tours also stop for the night at special accommodations not found on any other class of Contiki tours. Stay in a French Chateau surrounded by vineyards or an alpine Chalet in Switzerland!

You’ll always travel in style and comfort with your Contiki Tour Manager and Driver aboard a modern air-conditioned coach.

Accommodations

Accommodation is mostly twin-share and never more than four persons sharing a room. Contiki has three types of Concept/Budget accommodations.

Special Stopovers

Exclusive Contiki properties, which are not expensive or flashy – the emphasis is always on value and fun. Unique accommodations ranging from a restored Chateau in France, to Gasthofs in Austria, to alpine chalets in Switzerland – with all the creature comforts you need!

Villages

Cabins in specially designed Contiki Villages are located in Europe’s best campsites with the usual shared facilities – W.C.s (bathrooms), showers, bars, shops, sports facilities, a swimming pool, a nightclub, and sometimes nearby beaches to soak up the sun.

Hotel/Pension

On certain tours, you can look forward to staying in a hotel or pension chosen for location, facilities and the warmth of its welcome.

Meals

The food is often prepared especially for you by the Contiki staff. You’ll occasionally help with serving and washing up — it’s all part of the experience! For breakfast, there’s cereal, muesli, yogurt, bread rolls and fresh fruit as well as a hot dish.

At lunch you’re free to do your own thing. About half your dinners are included in the cost of your tour (see tour itinerary for specific meal details) On other nights we take you out to sample the local restaurants. Veggie lover? If notified at the time of booking, Contiki will do their best to meet any special dietary requirements.
