the advertising for contiki is not as clear as it should be, the prices quoted are of course plus taxes/surcharges. What I don't like is that they don't note the blackout dates for school holidays when these prices don't apply, a bit misleading. They do their own sales and don't deal with the established wholesalers. As they are a new operation as far as Bali is concerned, they are not always up to date with all the special fares out there. I'm sure they will get their act together in this regard but we have received expensive quotes from them until we tell them they're using the wrong fare. It pays to use a travel agent that knows Bali and the current fares to keep track of what the prices should be.
