The specific guide for your trip will be confirmed closer to your departure date. Our trips typically attract a diverse range of young travelers between 18 and 35 years old. We often have participants in the 19-23 age range. Contiki trips are known for their fun, social atmosphere.

  • M

    Marina

    Asked on July 20th, 2022

    I have found this trip on another website and everything is identical apart from the number of meals included, the other website says it is 4 dinners, not 11. I just wanted to confirm that if I booked it via this website I will definitely get the 11 dinners.

    Meals
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperator•Written July 2022

      This is an error on the Tour Radar website, we only offer 4 dinners as part of this itinerary. We keep several meal times open for you to explore the food scene in each location and do offer a couple of Free Time Add On dinners throughout the trip (at an additional cost).
