    Natasha

    Asked on February 4th, 2026

    Are there any tours offered in Spanish? Also, do Peruvian clients need authorization to enter London?

    Tour Details
    Visa
    • ContikiOperatorWritten February 2026

      Contiki trips are conducted exclusively in English. All tours, including European Highlights and other itineraries, are guided in English by the Travel Director and local guides. There are no official Spanish-language versions of Contiki trips.

      If your clients are Spanish speakers, they can still join, but they should be comfortable with English as the common language used for commentary, instructions, and group communication.

      For Peruvian clients, entering London requires an electronic travel authorization (ETA/eVisa) rather than a traditional visa.

  • L

    Lucy

    Asked on February 3rd, 2026

    We have 4 in our party, ages 21,24, 55 and 57. The ages say up to 35. Can we sign up with the previos ages?

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperatorWritten February 2026

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. Unfortunately, as your age does not meet this requirement, we are unable to proceed with your reservation for a Contiki tour.

      However, we would like to recommend one of our sister brands - CostSaver which is open to all ages, and may be a great fit for you.

      Costsaver - has all essentials taken care of with the flexibility of 1000 Choice Experiences, to tailor your trip with your way.

      Alternatively, you could look at any of our other Tour Brands such as Trafalgar, Insight or Luxury Gold.

  • D

    Danielle

    Asked on January 30th, 2026

    Why does it state this tour is for ages 18-35 but on the right hand side of screen it states otherwise?

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperatorWritten January 2026

      Contiki sets its age range at 18–35 to create a vibrant, social travel environment where young adults can connect with peers who share similar interests, lifestyles, and travel goals. The focus is on building community, fostering friendships, and ensuring the atmosphere matches the expectations of this age group.

      If you're outside the 18–35 bracket but still want a guided group experience, other brands under The Travel Corporation (Contiki's parent company) may be a better fit:

      • Trafalgar: Focuses on cultural immersion and comfort, with no strict age limits.
      • Costsaver: Offers budget-friendly tours for all ages.
      • Insight Vacations: Caters to travelers seeking premium experiences.

  • A

    Alison

    Asked on January 20th, 2026

    It says age range 18-35. Can you confirm if this trip is aimed at younger people seeking to make friends. I was thinking of booking it with my father in his late 60s but want to make sure it's not a party type European trip.

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperatorWritten January 2026

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. Contiki offers trips for this age bracket in order to keep a group dynamic a certain way. It is also because certain elements of the trip, whether that be an activity or accommodation, are tailored to younger travellers.

    Cynthia

    Asked on January 18th, 2026

    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten January 2026

      Kimberly

      TravelerWritten January 2026

      I noticed the age range. Can someone older than that be part of the tour?

    • ContikiOperatorWritten January 2026

      Yes, Contiki's trips are tailored to a specific age group 18 to 35-year-olds. The reason for this selective age bracket is that we aim to create harmonious, like-minded travel communities where common interests and rhythms prevail. If you're outside the age restriction, we would like to recommend one of our sister brands - CostSaver which is open to all ages, and may be a great fit for you.
