What time on March 6, 2027 would this tour start? I am trying to see what flights might be feasible.

On 06 March 2027, the Kick Start meeting at the hotel is scheduled to start at around 16:30. This is the main welcome meeting where you meet your Trip Manager and group, so it's ideal to arrive at the hotel with enough time to check in, freshen up, and be ready for that start time. Contiki adventures have an age restriction of 18–35 years, so all guests must fall within this age range to join.

I m single man 36 yrs old and I m interested into the Scotland in a Week Tour.... Is being 36 yrs old a problem as the Tour indicates 18-35?

Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate. As you are outside this age range, you would not be eligible to join the trip. We have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences without age restrictions, which may be a perfect fit for you: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

I am 36 and this trip seems perfect for my desires and schedule. Can an exception please be made to book it?

Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. We are unable to proceed with your reservation for a Contiki tour. We recommend CostSaver which is open to all ages, or other Tour Brands such as Trafalgar, Insight or Luxury Gold.

What are the age restrictions for Contiki tours?

Our tours are designed specifically for travelers aged 18 to 35. Outside this age group, we recommend sister companies that offer similar experiences.

How can we adjust our booking after a price decrease?

Following a price decrease, you can simply visit our website and adjust your booking details online to reflect the new pricing.

Are pets allowed on the Scotland tours?

Currently, our policy does not allow pets on our tours.

Do you provide accommodation options in Glasgow?

We are strictly a travel company and do not offer accommodation rentals or sales in Scotland.

Can you suggest alternate tours if the desired departure is booked?

If the initial departure date is unavailable, we can offer you the next available departure. Please let us know if you're flexible with the dates.

Can I have pre-accommodation if I fly into Edinburgh on the day the tour starts?

The tour starts at 4:30 PM on the first day; therefore, pre-night accommodation is not required and not available.

My question is whether or not my son and I can fly into Edinburgh on Monday December 25th or do we need to be in Scotland the day before the tour starts?

The trip starts at 4:30pm on the first day, therefore no pre night is required. We do not have any pre night hotels available.
