    Allison

    Asked on September 27th, 2022

    Is the train fare included?

    Price / Availability
    Transport
    • ContikiOperatorWritten September 2022

      transportation between each destination is by coach bus, which is included in the price. The tour offers two destinations to end in either Glasgow at 8:00am or ending back in London. Post night required in London. If you choose to do this option, the train ticket will technically be included in the overall booking price, but is more expensive than if you were to select the ending Glasgow option.

They are geared towards active, budget-minded young travellers who want to meet other people from all over the world, and tend to be very popular with students and backpackers.
