HIGHLIGHTS Download trip notes

London: Our Detour trips are minibreaks packed full of unique, local-led experiences. They’re perfect if you’re looking for a short weekend trip or just wanna spend a little more time at your destination.
London: You know we love social travel here. While most of our trips have large groups, the Detour trips are all about small group travel with 16 travellers (or even fewer on some itineraries!). You can check the trip page above for more details.
London: In classic Contiki style, your accommodation and transport are included in the trip. Plus, we’ll sort out some meals and activities that are outlined in the itinerary. That’s not all, though. You’ll also have an expert Local Host to give you an inside scoop at every destination.
London: All you have to do is check whether you need a visa (and apply for one if you do!), book your insurance and arrange your transport to the start location of the trip. We’ll handle the rest!
London: Our Detour trips are short & sweet (and loaded with fun activities). That’s why we don’t offer pre or post trip accommodation.
Beaujolais Wine Region: We always try our best to cater to every dietary requirement. But for this trip, we’re restricted for what is available locally & seasonally. So if you require a vegan or gluten-free diet, there might be a few experiences on this trip that won’t have the option to cater to specific requirements.
Beaujolais Wine Region: Most French wines are made using products derived from animals, so they aren’t vegan.
Beaujolais Wine Region: We don’t provide towels on this trip. So, please remember to pack your own towel!
Today in Lyon, we'll be joined by a Lyonnaise local who's passionate about their city... and its recipes. That's right, today is the perfect tourism & food combo - we'll walk the streets, sample local dishes and discover Lyon's best food spots. You'll be feeling like a local in no time.
Villefranche-sur-Saone: The wait is over. Find your new Contiki crew and be driven in style by one of our Trip Managers through the gorgeous Beaujolais wine region to the Contiki chateau.
