How It All Began

In 1961, a young New Zealander named John Anderson arrived in London to embark on a journey to Europe. He didn't want to travel alone and he didn't have a lot of money, so he came up with a plan. He put a deposit on a minibus and gathered a group of people to travel with. They spent twelve weeks exploring Europe together and had a wonderful time. At the end of the trip, John tried to sell the minibus but no one wanted to buy it. So in the Spring of 1962 he decided to advertise his Europe trip again. This time, he was able to fit two trips into the summer season, therefore doubling his business, and Contiki Holidays was "born". The first tours were all booked by 19-29 year olds so right from the start Contiki was all about youth travel.
