I am 56 and would book a single room. Is that possible?

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. However, we have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences from 5 years old and above age restrictions: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

Is this tour only for people up to he age 35? I travel extensively through group tours and solo... I am 70 years old ... I just did a solo tour thru vietnam cambodia and thailand .... and followed up with indonesia.. I wanted tho see more of thailand and tour malaysia.. This itinerary is what I am looking for... do you have a similar tour that i could sign up for?

We would love to have you travel with us. Please be advised that Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. We don't have a tour that will visit all the countries that this tour will be visiting. However, we're able to find a couple of tours that will be focusing on Thailand and Malaysia.

do you offer a small group tour like 12 or less for the thai malaysia escapade tour don't like large group tours

Contiki tours can accommodate a maximum of 34 travellers in one tour departure. We recommend our sister brand, Insight Vacations, which specializes in small group tours with a minimum of 24 guests.

what vaccines are necessary to visit these countries

Here are the commonly recommended vaccines for travelers to these destinations: Routine Vaccines: Ensure you are up to date on routine vaccinations such as measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, chickenpox (varicella), polio, and your annual flu shot. Hepatitis A: Recommended as the virus can be transmitted through contaminated food or water. Hepatitis B: Recommended, especially if you might have close contact with locals, need medical care, or plan to get tattoos or piercings. Typhoid: Recommended for travelers, particularly if you plan to eat street food or visit rural areas. Japanese Encephalitis: May be recommended if you're visiting rural areas for an extended period or during the transmission season. Rabies: Considered for travelers involved in outdoor activities or those who may come into contact with animals. Malaria Prevention: While malaria risk is low in most parts of Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, consult your healthcare provider about preventive measures if you'll be visiting rural or forested areas.

Is that an error? I am 39 years old and my sister is 34 and we would like to join this trip, I notice it says there is a recommended age of 18-35 years though.

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.

could i extend and do a few more things in malaysia?

we need to follow the flow of the itinerary of the trip and we can only allow an extension at the end of the trip. But if you choose to stay in Malaysia you just need to provide the exact leave date and advise us that you will no longer go on with the trip. Please note though that this won't affect the trip price.

would you kindly accommodate two more travelers couple aged 35 on the fully booked tour on Oct 17?

The 17-October departure of this trip is closed, completely booked, and we cannot accommodate any more travellers. The 12-December departure is On Request, meaning there are only few spots available.

Rhi was the best trip manager anyone could ask for! She is passionate about her job and it comes thru in every interaction you have with her. She makes an effort to not only keep everyone safe and comfortable on the trip but also goes above and beyond to make sure you get to do everything to want to have the best possible trip. She also makes a huge effort to make genuine connections with everyone she travels with. It is so clear that Rhi gives her all to this job and she was a hands down one of the reasons I had such an amazing trip. I would love to travel with her again some day!Show more

A Rhi foi o espírito da viagem. Cuidadosa, alegre e sempre empenhada em fazer daquele momento o melhor possível. Eu acredito muito que se o guia não está empenhado em entregar tudo de si, o tour não anda. E a Rhi sempre esteve. Ela é um encanto em forma de pessoa. (This comment is in portuguese.)Show more
