FAQs

• London: What does a modular trip mean? A modular trip means fellow travellers will join and leave at various locations. There’ll be some goodbyes, sure, but there’ll also be plenty of hellos with new like-minded travellers.
• London: Can I share a room with my partner on this trip? Your Trip Manager will advise you on who you’ll share your room with. On this trip, you’ll stay in a multi-share room with other travellers of the same sex.
• London: Can I stay for a few extra days? Our trips are short & sweet (and loaded with fun activities). That’s why we don’t offer pre or post trip accommodation.
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: How strenuous are the activities on this trip? You’ll need a moderate level of fitness for this trip since you’ll be hiking, biking and rafting. The sunset hike on day 1 is about 5km and has 250m of elevation. The bike ride on Day 2 is about 25 kms long, through valleys and some steep ascents. But you can always take it at your own pace. Paragliding has a 115kg (255 lbs) weight limit, but it’s not physically strenuous. On day 3, you must be able to swim to participate in the white-water rafting, but it is beginner friendly. The hike on day 5 is mostly flat or downhill as we take a gondola to the starting point. The canyon swing on day 6 has a weight limit of 120kgs and you must be in good health to participate, but it is not physically strenuous. You must be able to carry your own luggage on public transport.
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: Do I need to be able to swim to go on this trip? Yes. For your own safety, you must be able to swim to take part in the rafting on this trip (which is where we will spend most of Day 3).
• Hopfgarten im Brixental: What are the alps? The alps are an incredible mountain range stretching across 8 Alpine countries: Monaco, France, Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria, and Slovenia. Perfect for skiing, biking or hiking!
• Bucharest: Can you cater to dietary requirements? Your Trip Manager will endeavour to cater for specific dietary requirements where possible. Vegetarianism, lactose intolerance, and gluten intolerance will be catered for in most instances. There are, however, some meals and activities that are fixed in advance and therefore cannot be modified to suit dietary requirements. Please use My Contiki to notify us of any dietary requirements at the time of booking. For those suffering from particular food allergies, your Trip Manager will endeavour to disclose to their fullest knowledge the main ingredients in the dishes being consumed. It is, however, your personal responsibility to ensure that you do not ingest any foods to which you are allergic.
• Beaujolais Wine Region: Are towels provided? We don’t provide towels on this trip. So, please remember to pack your own towel!
