Pakistani passport holder. Has valid UK visa and Schengen visa. Can provide parents' valid USA visa history (20–30 years) as reference if helpful. Asked whether US visa process/fees are included (understands they are not).

Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate.

do you do or know any operators who do basically the same tour trip for older people than contiki as im coming from australia to LA then be going to little rock arkanasas ie ending up in Dallas, denver ect then i can get flights to little rock or possibly find another tour passing through littlerock and drop of tour

We understand that you're looking for tour options that cater to older travelers similar to Contiki's offerings. While we don't have the exact same itinerary as Contiki, we do have open-age sister brands that provide fantastic travel experiences starting in Los Angeles. One option I can recommend is the Road Trip USA Coast to Coast tour with Costsaver. This tour offers an option to start in Los Angeles and will take you through Dallas Fort Worth, although it does conclude in New York. Additionally, we encourage you to check out our other open-age sister brands, which include: Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

Is it possible to fly one day earlier? And do you know if there is an airport? Maybe the shuttle could bring me near the airport?

Yes, you may leave your trip early. We can make a note of this on your booking so that your trip manager will be aware. However, please note that leaving early won't change the price of your trip. Additionally, your arrival airport is Los Angeles International (LAX) and departure is Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW). Please be aware that transfers are not available through Contiki.

Wanted to check if I can skip the last destination as I need to get back on 15th..also alternatively do you have any departures for early Oct for a similar duration?

That is totally fine if you need to leave the trip early, but you will need to inform us in advance. We have the following trips with departures in early October: North Queensland Adventure, Sweet as South, Northern Choice, Moroccan Adventure, England and Scotland, and Real Sicily.

Super itinerary and well worth what you pay. Really long drive days (which is understandable considering how much you get to see in such a short time).

TM made the trip as amazing as it was - she had a great deal of knowledge and the best recommendations. Really long drive days (which is understandable considering how much you get to see in such a short time) and the coach wasn't the cosiest or cleanest. Altogether, super itinerary and well worth what you pay.Show more
