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. Our primary goal is to ensure that all our guests have an enjoyable and suitable experience on our tours.

I am planning to joining groups tours July 1st to July 10 th can you please send me the package

The Contiki European Trail is a 23-day group tour covering 12 countries and 21 cities, starting Amsterdam and ending in London. Unfortunately, your requested dates (July 1–10) don't align with this package since it's much longer, but shorter Contiki tours are available in July 2026 if you prefer a 10-day option. European Trail Overview • Duration: 23 days (not 10 days) • Start/End: Amsterdam → London • Countries visited: England, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, France • Cities included: Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Kraków, Budapest, Lake Bled, Venice, Rome, Florence, Swiss Alps, Paris, and more • Accommodation: 2 nights in hotels, 20 nights in hostels (shared rooms) • Meals: 22 breakfasts, 5 dinners • Extras: Expert trip manager, driver team, local guides, 16 included experiences, all internal transport The package is priced at US$3,443 per person based on twin room, with a Last Minute Deal discount already applied. Please note that rates are subject to change.

Why only up to 35 years old?

Contiki sets its age limit at 18–35 years old because the brand is designed specifically for young travelers who want energetic itineraries, nightlife, and social experiences with peers in the same stage of life. This creates a lively, like-minded group atmosphere. If you're outside the 18–35 age range but want similar experiences, TTC (The Travel Corporation, Contiki's parent company) offers other brands like Trafalgar, Costsaver, and Insight Vacations. These brands provide a wide range of tours and travel styles that cater to different interests and preferences, ensuring a memorable and comfortable journey for all ages from 5 years old and above.

Are we eligible for the tour?

As long as you are still 35 years old before the tour starts, you can join this tour.

I am interested in booking this tour and will need to apply for a Schengen visa. Could you please confirm if the following documents can be provided after booking that could be submitted to visa office? i. Travel itinerary ii. Hotel booking confirmations iii. Travel insurance (if included) iv. Invitation or visa support letter (if applicable)

Yes, we do provide the required documents. However, please be advised that Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate.

If I book the tour for march 7 to march 29, would I be able to see both hitters bunker and the concentration camps? Those are two highlights I would not want to miss and I saw that if this trip is booked less than 60 days to those attractions I may not get in. if you know I will be guaranteed to be able to get a ticket for both of those I will definitely be booking this trip!!

This 23‐day journey features a stop in Berlin, where you can avail a free-time add on to join a guided walking tour focused on 20th‐century history, including sites such as Hitler's former underground bunker and the Holocaust Memorial, and later in Poland, where you'll receive a sobering WWII education that typically includes visits to concentration camp memorials such as Auschwitz-Birkenau. These experiences are part of the standard itinerary and are designed to ensure travelers don't miss these important historical sites.

Need to confirm if there is any option to get separate rooms during this tour, if I don't want to share with someone else.

We only offer multi share room for this tour, which consist of a maximum of 6 travellers of the same gender.

Can I possibly have a 7 to 10 day break from this tour at Rome to go on a cruise and then reconvene the tour?

This tour is fully guided and follows a carefully planned itinerary. All travelers are expected to remain with the group throughout the scheduled program to ensure a smooth experience and to maintain the integrity of the tour. Regrettably, it is not possible to take an extended break and then reconvene with the tour at a later stage.

Is there a lot of solo travelleres like me joining this trip?

What do you think is the best month to join this trip?

We are two lady travelers in our 60s we love the look of this tour. Would we be able to join? Or could you recommend something similar?

Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. We recommend exploring tours offered by our sister brands, Costsaver and Trafalgar Tours. You could look at any of our other Tour Brands such as Trafalgar, Insight or Luxury Gold.

I was a little nervous to travel to Europe alone, as a single woman. I had a friend recommend that I try a tour instead of a solo adventure. I'm so grateful I went this route instead and had Rianna as my tour guide. She made us all feel very comfortable, especially me since this was my first time traveling by myself. Our tour group did not disappoint and I got to meet so many amazing people from around the world. I would highly recommend Rianna as your tour guide. Before booking your tour, make sure she is the lead.Show more

  If you're outside the 18–35 age range but want similar experiences, TTC (The Travel Corporation, Contiki's parent company) offers other brands like Trafalgar, Costsaver, and Insight Vacations.

Tour Details
- ContikiOperator•Written February 2026
  This 23‐day journey features a stop in Berlin, where you can avail a free-time add on to join a guided walking tour focused on 20th‐century history, including sites such as Hitler's former underground bunker and the Holocaust Memorial, and later in Poland, where you'll receive a sobering WWII education that typically includes visits to concentration camp memorials such as Auschwitz-Birkenau. These experiences are part of the standard itinerary and are designed to ensure travelers don't miss these important historical sites.

  This tour is fully guided and follows a carefully planned itinerary. All travelers are expected to remain with the group throughout the scheduled program to ensure a smooth experience and to maintain the integrity of the tour. Regrettably, it is not possible to take an extended break and then reconvene with the tour at a later stage.

  Is the accomodation shared with two only or more than two in one room?
- ContikiOperator•Written January 2026
  Yes, this trip is very popular with solo travelers, June–September are the busiest and most social months to join, and in case you decide to cancel 60 days prior to departure, deposit is non-refundable. Additionally, accommodation is typically multi-share hostels with up to 6 guests per room (same gender), not just two.
