Included sightseeing usually involves city tours and introductions usually carried out by your Tour Manager or a local guide, often with the help of your Driver. Sightseeing often involves a walking tour though a city, a tour on your Contiki coach, or a combination of the two.

This information, often combined with maps provided by your Tour Manager, provides you with a great foundstion of the city’s sights and delights so when the time comes for you to get out and discover the city for yourself during your free time, you’re well equipped with more information and knowledge than some of the locals.

Along with all the big sights (like the Colosseum and the Eiffel Tower) the Tour Managers and guides often will point out a lot of the smaller, lesser know places and hidden attractions that you would never have known or found by yourself.

Contiki includes sightseeing tours mostly in the larger cities like Paris, Rome and Moscow but also smaller places like Monaco and Avignon. Contiki’s organized sightseeing is time efficient as it shows you all the major sights in the most efficient manner while the actual length of the sightseeing tours varies depending on the size of the city and the nature of the tour (driving or walking).

You can find open top bus tours and local guides in almost every city in the world but with Contiki, its all included in price of the tour saving you time and money – you can’t loose!

As with all included activities on Contiki Tours, you don’t have to take part if you don’t want to, you have total freedom to do whatever you want.
