TORONTO, Sept. 2, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With autumn fast approaching, Contiki Holidays (www.contiki.com) is pleased to release their ever-popular Winter Europe brochure offering a great selection of tours for 18-35 year olds.
Whether guests prefer an extensive multi-country tour, a concise holiday break or are seeking a little extra on their European holiday; Contiki offers more sights, more activities, more free time, more definite departures, more amazing accommodation and of course, more exclusive Contiki experiences.
Brad Ford, President of Contiki Canada explains, "Europe is always popular with Canadians, but many of our travelers recognize that winter is the perfect time to avoid the crowds and take advantage of lower prices."
Contiki's 4-day festival tours allow passengers to take in the culture with truly authentic local experiences. Their popularity has prompted the operator to expand the options this year with the addition of three new Festival and Event trips. Contiki's new Paris Christmas, Amsterdam Christmas and Edinburgh Hogmanay getaways are the perfect choice for travellers looking for a unique way to spend their holiday.
