    The included meals were not good at all and i think the itinerary could be a lot more organized. I spent most of my time waiting for meetup times. I thought it was a waste of money as I didn’t enjoy my experience and I would not recommend it to anyone

    Robin

    Asked on July 7th, 2025

    We would like to leave Barcelona on the 24th of Aug and there are two of us, me and my wife. Can you give us a quote for these days. My wife is a devout Catholic and is very happy on Rome but is also very keen to visit Paris for a couple of days. Is there any other tour we can get which includes Paris.

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten July 2025

      We'd love for you to explore the incredible tours offered by our sister brands, Trafalgar Tours and Costsaver. For Trafalgar Tours, we recommend the Highlights of France and Barcelona - a 10-day journey through France and Spain covering Paris, Lyon, the French Riviera, and Barcelona. For Costsaver, consider the Jewels of Italy tour - a one-week Italian adventure through Rome, Florence, and Venice. Contiki's trips are tailored to a specific age group 18 to 35-year-olds.

    Lauren

    Asked on March 20th, 2025

    I came across your 9-day tour departing on May 2nd, 2026, and it looks like a fantastic experience — active, adventurous, and socially vibrant, just my kind of vibe! While I've actually visited all these destinations before, my 33-year-old cousin hasn't, and I'm planning to join him for this trip to share the experience together. I did notice the tour is listed for ages 18–35, and while I'm 37, I was wondering if there's any flexibility around that? I'm young at heart, full of energy, and travel solo — no kids, no commitments. I've been to over 70 countries and have joined many similar group tours, always receiving great feedback from fellow travelers and tour leaders for being open-minded, easy-going, and a positive part of the group. Would you be open to considering my participation? Also, could you please let me know what your cancellation policy looks like?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten March 2025

      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. We have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences without age restrictions, which may be a perfect fit for you: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

    Olga

    Asked on August 28th, 2024

    Why is there an age requirement? Most of our adult are over 35, is that ok?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten August 2024

      Contiki is a youth-based operator specifically designed for travellers between the ages of 18 to 35. Unfortunately, due to the nature of their trips, including accommodations in hostels and late-night activities, they are unable to accommodate travelers outside of this age range.

    Laura

    Asked on June 13th, 2023

    I would love to book this trip! Is there more of an itinerary? Are we traveling via bus? Also, if I book with my friend would we be able to room together?

    Accommodation
    Transport
    • ContikiOperatorWritten June 2023

      For both of your questions, yes! You will be travelling via luxury motorcoach and we can place you and your friend in the same room when booked together!
