    I am 54 years old. Does that disqualify me from taking part in this trip?

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperator•Written December 2022

      We are unable to confirm your booking request at this time. To travel with Cointiki, you must be between the ages of 18-35. We do have many other sister companies which have similar itineraries. I would first suggest checking out Costsaver or Trafalger first!
