    Our Team appreciates hearing your thoughts on your recent trip with Contiki as this really helps us to get an insight into where we're going right and where potential improvements might be made. As such, while it's great to read that you enjoyed travelling in the company of your Trip Manager, we regret to read that some of the meals and Free Time Add-Ons may not have lived up to what you had been hoping for. We always aim to provide our travellers with experiences that will give them a taste of what the locals eat and enjoy, and so please be assured that your comments have been shared with our Operations Department for their consideration going forward, and, moreover, to ensure that we're continuing to offer our travelllers the Contiki experience they expect.

    Asked on April 7th, 2025

    I am booking a family trip to Europe in May for my 60th birthday on May 4. Three of my saved adventures are with Contiki and have an Age Range of 18 - 35. Would my husband 56 and myself be excluded from these tours?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten April 2025

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. As your age does not meet this requirement, we regret to inform you that we are unable to proceed with your reservation for a Contiki tour. Nonetheless, we would like to recommend one of our sister brands - CostSaver which is open to all ages. Alternatively, you could look at any of our other Tour Brands such as Trafalgar, Insight or Luxury Gold.
