Once you have booked and paid for your tour and your tour departure have been confirmed, you will receive your Contiki travel documents in the mail. They should arrive roughly 3 weeks before your tour departs.

Your Contiki travel documents you receive in the mail includes:

If you are leaving before your travel documents should arrive, you can call Contiki (or your Travel Agent) and ask them if the tour departure date is confirmed, and if so, can they please send your documents out earlier. If not, Contiki can e-mail you your travel documents and vouchers.

If you leave home and haven’t received your travel documents, it’s not the end of the world, as long as your tour departure date is confirmed (and so is your booking and payment) you’ll be fine. Just ask Contiki to e-mail the documents and vouchers and you can just print them out while you’re away from home.

Likewise, if you book just before the start of the tour with no time for mailing, Contiki will email or fax you your documents.

Hi,

I have booked (and fully paid) your tour called “Aussie Explorer with Whitsundays” departing June 14th 2009. My agent is called * (I can reveal his name to you if you contact me) claims that my options for getting the Contiki travel documents are a) by e-mail OR b) by collecting them from their offices. My own understanding was that Contiki mails these documents to the customer roughly 3 weeks prior departure. Which statement is correct?

If I am correct, perhaps could you please communicate with my agent (and advise him what to do)?
If my agent is correct, would it be possible, besides collecting the documents from his Sydney office, to get them by e-mail too, in order to have a look at them before departing?

Thank you!

Hi, I am travelling with a friend and we tried calling Contiki direct to get confirmation, however they would not speak to us and told us we had to get our agent to call. We explained that our agent has been away (and has not been particuarly helpful anyway), but the person on the other end said that they were unable to confirm anything.

Ya, as long as you booked both tours as the same time, no problems…if you didn’t book them at the same time, just let Contiki or whoever booked your tour know so they can get all the documents to you before you leave.

I am doing the UE before heading on the Russia and the Baltic. Because i booked both tours together will i get the travel documents for both tours at the same time?

If you’re planning on leaving for your trip early, then let Contiki or your travel agent know so they can try and get the documents out to you early or make some other arrangements.

what if you are planning to be visiting relatives/friends in Europe approximately 2-3 weeks before and you do not know the addresses of the accomodation? Iam planning to leave Australia heading to Scottland 2-3 weeks before the tour… Is there anyway to guarentee that I will get the travel documents at a particular time?

If you want to check 100 percent that you’re booked and ready to go, just contact whoever you booked through (you travel agent, etc) or just call Contiki directly. No worries!

I know you get these 3 weeks before the tour, but how can i double check that I am actually confirmed? Slight paranoia that ive paid and am not confirmed!! ta x

Be wary of gladiators outside the colosseum. They don't take photos for free and can be quite agressive about their payment. Also don't be fooled into taking an unlicensed guided tour of the Colosseum either....
