    Asked on July 14th, 2025

    Where does Iceland come on this trip? It's on the map, but on the day by day description.

    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten July 2025

      We do apologize for the confusion as Iceland isn't part of the actual itinerary for this tour, and it appears there may be some inconsistencies between the map and the day-by-day breakdown. We'll notify TourRadar right away so they can review and update the website accordingly to reflect the correct destinations and stops.

    Asked on September 13th, 2022

    Is the price quoted for 29th October negotiable?

    Price / Availability
    • ContikiOperatorWritten September 2022

      Unfortunately, the trip prices are not negotiable. For trips priced around £2,250, you would need to travel February or March 2023. November 19th would be the next available date if you were looking to travel in 2022.

  • K

    Keith

    Asked on July 25th, 2022

    My husband and I are wanting to do this tour as a second honeymoon and celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary (in May 2023). I wanted to enquire if this tour will allow us to stay in the same accomodation with each other. We would want all our rooms/accomodation for us to be together in the same room instead of sharing with others. Can this be arranged for us?

    Accommodation
    • ContikiOperatorWritten July 2022

      With Contiki you would be staying in Hostels for the majority of this trip and as the hotels are same sex share we would not be able to have you two stay together in the same room. Contiki has one trip though that is just hotels and we can check if they can have you in the same room for this trip.

Can’t find the answer to your question?
Reach out to the experts at Contiki with your enquiry, they usually respond within 9 hours.
