Why is this trip's ages only up to 35 yrs old?

Contiki trips are specifically tailored for individuals aged 18 to 35 years old. This age range is chosen to ensure that the activities and experiences during the trip are best suited for a young and dynamic demographic. However, we have several sister brands with no age restrictions that might be a good fit for you: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

Is this tour available in Jan or Feb 2023

We have the following dates available: Jan 1st to Jan 11th, 2023 Jan 29th to Feb, 8th, 2023 (On Request Basis - 2/3 days to confirm) Feb 12th to Feb 22nd, 2023

Do you have any tours in March 2023?

The available dates for March 2023 are: 1. March 12th - March 22nd 2. March 26th - April 5th

My son and I are interested. I am however 53 years old is that ok

Unfortunately Contiki is 18-35. Would you like me to have look on one of our Sisterbrands Trafalgar? this brand has 4-5 star hotels which are centrally located.

Why does the tour say "Age Range 18 to 35 year olds." Is this only for the young?

Contiki Holidays has created a product specifically for the enjoyment of travelers in the 18-35 age group. We have a responsibility to adhere to our promise of travel for 18-35's and provide the type of holiday our travelers expect. We do hope you can understand that we cannot accept travelers outside of this age range.

Is the age range just a recommendation? There are a few of us in our 40's and early 50's that are interested in this tour

The trip itself was alright (though not amazing, quite a few hiccups. The tour guide was great thou), but this review is about scammy practices of Contiki the company, and their poor customer service. They lie about what's included in a trip and overcharge I did Cape, Falls, Safari trip with Contiki in December 2023. There were several instances of Contiki suggesting that an activity is included to the price yet they charged it extra in the trip. The PDFs they send before the trip (and the info they show before they sell) make it sound like a lot more is included than it is. When I confronted them about this, they refused to take accountability. Overall, scammy company. You'll end up paying A LOT more than the base price, unless what you wanna do is literally stay in the hotel the whole trip. Also, they take *28* days to reply to your messages, which is insane. So disappointing! Never booking with them again, and will keep telling to everyone.Show more
