What are the reasons for this upper age limit? My wife and I are in our early 60's and would like to know the physical requirements.

The age limit for Contiki tours is primarily designed to create a social atmosphere that caters to younger travelers, typically those aged 18 to 35. This helps to ensure that everyone on the tour shares similar interests and travel styles.

We recommend considering our sister brands like Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, and Luxury Gold, which welcome travelers of all ages.
