Before we check any Contiki tours for you according to your preference, can you please confirm your age? This is because all our Contiki tours only accommodate travelers ages 18 to 35 years old. We do not accommodate travelers outside of the said age restriction.

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 these parameters.

I was wondering if there is a way to be notified when 2024 dates are released, as I see there are no options for 2024 yet.

We dont have a notification system for new dates coming out. Feel free to check up on our website every so often for new dates!

I see it says 18-35 year olds, but my husband will be 36 when the trip rolls around. Does that matter?

Yes, that will make a difference. You do need to be within the age group of 18 - 35 on Day 1 of your trip with us. Are you able to attend the trip at an earlier date?

Looking at the Rome to Barcelona train trip in August, do you have one that would encompass all of these stops plus Venice? Would take a few more days if we could see a few more Italy cities

Unfortunately we do not offer any of our train itineraries that go to Venice. We do however have a number of Italian itineraries that you could book to do before your Rome to Barcelona by train trip begins. That would include our Simply Italy trip or our Italian Espresso trip. Please let us know if you are interested in pairing up these trips and we can assist.

Tom was an absolutely outstanding tour guide and truly went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best possible experience. From the moment the tour started, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to everyone’s needs. His enthusiasm, sense of humour, and genuine passion for what he does made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. What stood out most was how much effort Tom put into making sure every person felt included and had a great time. He was always happy to answer questions, share interesting facts, and offer recommendations that made the experience even more memorable. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble for him. Thanks to Tom’s dedication and positive attitude, our trip was not only smooth and well-organised but also one we’ll remember for a long time. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic tour guide. Thank you, Tom, for making our trip so special! XxShow more
