Just checking back re availability for a single room .. cheers andy

We are pleased to confirm that we do have availability for the tour departing 24 June 2026. However, please note that we are unable to advise on the availability of a Single Room at this stage. To proceed, you will need to submit a 48-hour booking hold request. Once received, we will forward your request to our Operations Team, who will then confirm whether a Single Room can be allocated, as this option has limited availability.

looking to book Ireland in a week September 23 to October 1 (need to leave on the 30th, though). I would also like to book a private room.

After reviewing availability, the next open date we can offer is 24 September 2025, which is on request, with a cost of CA$3,186.00 based on single room occupancy. Please note that any missed portions of the itinerary will not affect the overall trip cost, as this is a packaged tour. Additionally, the trip rate is subject to change.

My wife and I are in our late sixties....I noticed the age group for this tour is 18-35...Would we be out of place due to our age or do middle aged people upto 70 go on this tour too ?

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, such as Trafalgar and Costsaver.

only have 5 days in total can you get off tour at that point and make own arrangements if not completing whole tour? is the price the same as full tour?

You do have the option to end the trip early, but you are not compensated for the lost days of the trip. Will be the same price as the full tour.

Will 2 year old be allowed with the tours?

This tour is a youth focused tour and no children will be allowed. You can check on our tours, under age range to see, what tours allow kids of 2 years old. You have an option to add age under the filter section when searching for tours.

What's the difference between the Active and Regular tour?

The Active Ireland Trip is packed with experiences to get your adrenaline pumping. A good level of fitness and the ability to hike for 4-6 kms on uneven ground is required. You will need to know how to swim to participate in any water based activities. We have special departures with experiences like Kissing the Blarney Stone in Cork and pouring the perfect pint in Dublin, combined with Active Experiences every day. We will mix it up with a range of experiences like White Water Rafting, Kayaking and loads of epic hikes.
