    Age Range

    • ContikiOperator•Written June 2026

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. Unfortunately, as your age does not meet this requirement, we regret to inform you that we are unable to proceed with your reservation for a Contiki tour.

      However, we would like to recommend one of our sister brands - CostSaver which is open to all ages, and may be a great fit for you.

      Costsaver - has all essentials taken care of with the flexibility of 1000 Choice Experiences, to tailor your trip with your way.

      Alternatively, you could look at any of our other Tour Brands such as Trafalgar, Insight or Luxury Gold.

    Judy

    Asked on February 23rd, 2026

    When will you have this exact adventure for over 60s? This price and trip details are what we want. I've spent 6hours at your suggestions to the lady of 67 and her son 17 for another package that covers the same itinerary and THERE ARE NONE. Even similar ones start at $5,000. Why would you omit this delightful tour to adults who've lived a life and want to finally experience this trip? Please consider expanding your trips to include a senior version.

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperator•Written February 2026

      At present, Contiki's focus is on trips designed for 18–35 year-olds. That said, your feedback is important, it highlights a real gap for travelers who are seasoned, adventurous, and ready to enjoy the same itineraries without compromise. Currently, we have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences starting from age 5, with no upper age restrictions: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold. These brands offer a diverse selection of tours and travel styles designed to suit a variety of interests and preferences, ensuring a comfortable and memorable experience for travelers of all ages.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperator•Written May 2024

      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.
