Contiki "Time Out" Introduction
Take some "Time Out" with Contiki! Contiki's Time Out tours are the way to go if you're looking for a little extra comfort as you travel around Europe. If you have already seen the traditional sites of Europe, Time Out offers in-depth tours of countries such as France, Spain, Morocco and Italy as well as tours of the Egypt and Turkey.

You'll always travel in style aboard an air-conditioned coach for all touring vacations. Aboard the coach, you'll be accompanied by an always-entertaining Contiki Tour Manager and Driver, ready to answer all of your questions from "Where's the bathroom" to "How do you say hello in Turkish"?

Traveling is action-packed, but we know sooner or later you're going to want to get some rest. On a Time Out tour, you'll relax in superior tourist class hotels, many in the center of major cities. Most tours include some exceptional properties like our City Club in Vienna - a 5 star resort, or Europe's highest hotel on Mount Pilatus, Lucerne. All rooms have private facilities and you can choose either single, twin-share, or triple-share.

Start your days off right with breakfast, on us! A traditional continental breakfast - coffee or tea, juice, rolls and croissants- is served mornings while on tour. In some places you can have a buffet and occasionally a fully cooked breakfast. At lunch, we give you the freedom to do your own thing. For dinner, you'll be our guest for about half your vacation with a buffet or three-course meal. In each country where we don't include the evening meal, we arrange special optional meals out to try the local cuisine.
