I'm wondering if there's options for private accommodation for this tour and the cost. Also does this tour or any with the same locations visit Vatican City.

Apologies as the only room option we have available for this tour is Multi-Share Room. We don't have a Single Private Room option. Vatican City is not part of this tour's itinerary.

I am looking at the winter Trails from London to Rome. I note accommodation is hostel which is fine but can u book a two person room. We are a couple 22 years old

Apologies as we don't have a Twin Room option for this tour. The only room for accommodation is Multi-Share Room for a maximum of 6 travellers of the same gender sharing the room.

Does the travel group stay constant for this specific trip? Am I going to be joining a pre-existing tour that already started? Or is the group going to be changing in the middle with members leaving and new members joining?

You will be staying with the same group for the entire duration of the trip.

Age range: 18 to 35, does it means beyond that range is not suitable for? I'm 51 yrs old.

Regrettably, the Contiki booking is for 18–35 years old. We can only offer a different brand, which is Insight Vacations, Costsaver and Trafalgar.

I don’t usually praise people but Rianna, our trip manager and glorious tour leader from contiki is worth praising! From entertaining, interactive activities on coach to fun facts and trivia. When I had arrived for the trip I hadn’t known anyone and was very quite as i’m not one to jump into deep conversations with strangers, but Rianna’s introduction to the Contiki trip had been very welcoming indeed and helped me introduce myself to people that i would become best friends with for my whole trip. And how could I not mention our very skilled coach driver Angel, with his awesome speeches and getting us to our locations through the narrow alleyways and busy roads on time was really amazing! Rianna and Angel are truely the best travel duo and I couldn’t have asked for a better travel manager and coach driver, and everyone else on my Contiki journey with Rianna and Angel will agree.Show more
