    Andrea

    Asked on January 12th, 2022

    are you able to tell me how many people are booked on the trip, and how many are solo travelers? I am traveling alone and trying to find the best match for me.

    Group size
    Travel Support
    • ContikiOperator•Written January 2022

      On average, between 60 and 70% of our travellers go solo so you won't be the only one. On our trips that use hotel accommodation, we can room you with another same-gender traveler so there is no single-supplement fee, or you can choose to have your own room for a little extra. On our hostel trips you will room with up to 6 other travelers of the same gender so will have plenty of opportunities to meet new people!
