    Melissa

    Asked on January 17th, 2026

    I am a fit 53 year old. I am used to basic travel and enjoy the company of younger people. For example, last year's summer holiday was a trek in the Tien Shan mountains in Kyrgyzstan, and I socialise with colleagues in their 20s and 30s - who appear to like me! May I join this tour?

    Age Range
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2026

      Unfortunately this trip has a strict age policy and is for 18 to 35 year old's, however you may check for an alterative tour which may suit you which is available at our website.
