i would like to know if this tour allow people in theirs 40s would 40 and and 46 let me know please thanks

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 a Trafalgar tour that offer fantastic travel experiences starting from age 5, with no upper age restrictions, which may be a perfect fit for you. Trafalgar's European Traveller follows a similar route, traveling from London to Paris, Switzerland (Lucerne), Venice, Florence, and Rome, allowing you to experience many of the same iconic European highlights in a guided holiday designed for travelers of all ages. It also includes comfortable accommodations, guided sightseeing, and free time to explore each destination. Trafalgar is the ultimate all-rounder in travel experiences, allowing people to see the icons as well as dive into the culture and get an up close and personal look at how the locals live.

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

However, we have a Trafalgar tour that offer fantastic travel experiences starting from age 5, with no upper age restrictions, which may be a perfect fit for you.
