I'd love to book this tour but the age range says "to 35/39". I'm 40 years old. Can I still join it?

This type of tours (18 to 30somethings) are specifically for travelers between the ages of 18 to 39, with hostel accommodation. We can make exceptions for travelers turning 40 during the tour, however, we would not be able to allow 40 year old travelers, or older.

I really love your "epic Vietnam" itinerary but I don't feel comfortable staying in hostels, is there a package that has alternative accommodation?

Our Roamies tours (like this one) do include hostels. If you specifically want hotels and a similar route, we would suggest the Classic Vietnam: Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City tour.

Could you confirm this is for ages 18 to 35. My son is 18, but I'm 51.

  Veronica
  Traveler•Written July 2025
  I totally get the age range of 18 to 39 in general. But I'm having a hard time understanding the reasoning behind it: the gap between someone who's 18 and someone who's 39 is way bigger than, say, the gap between someone who's 35 and someone who's 40. When it comes to travel style, interests, and life experience, I honestly think a 40-year-old could sometimes fit in even better than someone very young. So I was wondering: Does the age limit apply when you book, or when the trip actually starts?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025
  These tours are designed for travellers aged 18-39 years old wishing to form interpersonal connections with travellers around their age, while visiting a new destination. Travellers must be 39 years old or younger (but at least 18 years old) as of Day 1 of the departure date of the tour. We strongly believe in putting the right travellers on the right trip - based on what they are looking to achieve.

  Traveler•Written July 2025
  Do you have any similar Vietnam round trips for 12 days with adventure and sports?
- V
  Veronica
  Traveler•Written July 2025
  I noticed that all of these tours cost at least twice as much as the regular tours that are limited to travelers under 39 years old although being shorter in duration. I'm genuinely curious about the reasoning behind this price difference. Is there a particular factor that justifies the higher price?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written July 2025
  This tour is using hostels only, there will be 4-8 people per room and shared facilities. No hotels are used on this trip. Generally Less Activities included, Less Meals included.
