Is this accepatble and would you help us get from the airport to you?

Taxis are readily available, or you may use transport apps such as Uber to reach the hotel on the first day in Rome. Once your booking is confirmed, your travel documents will also include transportation guidance and hotel details.

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. We have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences without age restrictions, which may be a perfect fit for you: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

I am interested in booking this tour however my party and I are not able to begin until July 12 or 13th. I see those dates are not available online. Is there a way to make an adjustment for our preferred dates. We are expecting 4-6 travelers.

After reviewing the schedule, here are the available dates for this trip in July: 01-Jul-2025, 08-Jul-2025, 11-Jul-2025, 15-Jul-2025, 18-Jul-2025, 29-Jul-2025. Dates will not be adjusted as this is a package trip. If you prefer to join the group mid-itinerary, that will be possible. However, please note that the cost will remain unchanged. Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate.

Can clients stay in Amalfi Coast on day 6 of the tour?

Clients can stay in Amalfi Coast and not join the rest of the group returning to Rome on the last day if they wish, but there will be no refund or compensation for the unused portion of the tour.

Do you have time and place where group meets? I noticed flights are not included, so I assume we are on our own with that.

The meet-up place is at your first hotel on day 1 of your trip. On that day, you will be having a kick-off meeting at approximately 4:00 in the afternoon. The preferred arrival and departure airport is Fiumicino International Airport (FCO).

Would you know if there's any additional discounts for this departing date? and also could I check on the starting time for this tour

it appears that there are no additional discounts available for the departure date you've selected. Our Kick Start meeting is scheduled to take place at the hotel at approximately 4:00 pm on the first day of the trip.

Is it ATOL protected? How much is the transfer to/from the hotel going to be? Is the deal price going to end on the 27th?

Transfers are not available. You have to arrive at the hotel on Day 1 for the Kick Start meeting at 16:00. The deal price will only be available approximately on the 27th.

How do I select the desired hotels for each city?

Contiki only runs trips for travellers aged 18-35. You have noted there are 12 adults in this group, so this adventure unfortunately will not work for the group.

I really enjoyed the trip to Italy. The hotels were good, only in Naples the accommodation could have been cleaner.

I did the Italian Escape Tour but missed the initial meeting due to a doctor's visit. I met the group later and had a brief, casual conversation with the trip manager, who asked if I’d like to do all the optional activities, stating that “pretty much everyone is doing them.” I agreed without realizing my response was binding. I was not informed about any 48-hour cancellation policies or exclusions. That night, I reviewed the optional activities and saw they exceeded my budget. The next morning, I informed the trip manager of the activities I didn’t want to do, but was told it was too late as an email had been sent and I had to pay. Feeling pressured, I insisted on not attending the Napoli food tour, preferring the Capri ferry ride, Pompeii tour, and Colosseum tour. The trip manager then cited a hidden 48-hour cancellation policy. I reluctantly agreed to the food tour but asked to cancel the Colosseum tour. He agreed, as it was outside the 48-hour period. During the tour, the trip manager pressured me, claiming I’d be stranded on the side of the road if I didn’t join certain activities, like the Lemon Tour on the Amalfi coast. Contrary to his claim, as I hopped of the ferry ride I saw the beautiful coast and spent the day swimming at the beach and had a great lunch. It was thee most amazing side of the road. On the day of the Colosseum tour, the trip manager tried to charge me 180 euros, which included for the Colosseum tour, which I had canceled. He claimed the Colosseum was an exception to the 48-hour rule. I refused to pay 180 euros, but said I will pay 122 euros which was all the actives I attended and said I wanted to do. I contacted Contiki, speaking with Tasha Hayes the operations manager and sustainability director, who was extremely unhelpful and insisted on the payment. She was not willing to hear me out, and calling my handling of the situation ‘unfortunate’. Finally, on the last night, the trip manager eventually accepted my payment of 122 euros, excluding the Colosseum tour. However he claimed and Tasha Hayes informed me, that the trip manger would have to pay out of his own pocket now. I think that’s unfortunate as it’s a hidden policy i can’t even find on the contiki website, however it was the trip manager’s responsibility to tell me these policies on day one which he failed to do, so I hope he has now learnt his lesson to be transparent and honest. I refused to pay for his negligence. This experience was extremely stressful. I had expected support from Contiki but instead faced constant pressure and felt wronged. The trip manager lied about informing me of the policies, and Contiki’s customer service, especially Tasha Hayes, was unhelpful. They threatened to exclude me from optional activities on my upcoming Croatia sail unless I paid for the Colosseum tour. I was not informed of the policies upfront and felt pressured throughout the trip. Ultimately, I didn't pay but was threatened with exclusion from future activities as my punishment due to their lack of transparency. I am disgusted with Contiki's handling of the situation and would never recommend this company ever again unless you want to be scammed and treated like sh**.Show more
