Single male, Age 43. Can I join the Contiki tour of Iceland?

Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. We recommend CostSaver which is open to all ages, or other Tour Brands such as Trafalgar, Insight or Luxury Gold.

When should I arrive for the tour?

You may arrive on the first day of the trip, ideally before the evening reception.

Why is the tour up to age 35? Is it very physically demanding?

Contiki's tours are usually designed for travelers aged between 18 to 35, creating an experience tailored to that specific age group. While their trips are vibrant and socially engaging, they have a strict age limit that might not align well if you're outside of the age range. 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.

How is the weather in September?

In September, temperatures can range from approximately 41°F to 50°F, with variable weather conditions.

What day should I depart after the tour?

You can leave after breakfast on the last day of the tour.

Is there availability for vegetarian food with the provided meals?

Vegetarian meals can be requested, but availability varies by accommodation.

What is the luggage allowance for the trip?

Each traveler is allowed one suitcase with a maximum weight of 44 lbs.

Are children allowed on this tour?

Contiki tours are designed specifically for travelers aged 18-35 years only.

Is this a tour for us? Will I need a passport? What day should I arrive for the tour? What day should I depart for the tour? What is the weather like in Sept? How much is needed for a down payment?

Contiki trips have an age restriction strictly for 18-35 years. You may consider visiting our affiliate brands like Trafalgar and Insight Vacations, which offer open-age trips. When traveling to Iceland, a passport is required and should be valid at least 6 months after the tour ends. You may arrive on the first day of the trip with a welcome reception at approximately 6:00 PM. You may depart on the last day of the trip after breakfast. In September, the weather in Iceland transitions from summer to autumn, with temperatures ranging from 41°F to 50°F. For Trafalgar, the deposit will be $200.00 per person. For Insight Vacations, the Classic group deposit will be $200.00 per person, and the small group deposit will be $350.00 per person.

I liked everything about this trip to Iceland - how we got to see the country, the insights into the Icelandic culture and of course the people. Our trip manager was really lovely and did a great job! I had a week were I didn‘t have to worry about anything because it already was perfectly planned. Thanks to that! I would definitely recommend Contiki Iceland Fire & Ice :)Show more

I had a really amazing time with my group in Iceland! I had a lot of worries prior to the trip because it was my first time out of North America, on my first solo trip, and I don't drink so I thought nobody was going to talk to me. It was quite the contrary, there will always be people who will talk to you & want to be around you. I found a great group of friends, we went on so many great adventures, learned a lot about Iceland, ate SUCH GOOD FOOD, and saw the best sights. Demi was a stellar trip manager, she made me feel so comfortable, she knows her stuff, and she made me laugh so many times during the trip. I'm so glad I went on this trip, and if you're on the fence, I'd say book it now, you won't regret it!Show more

I loved my trip to Iceland. Our tour manager Rob was amazing and really worked hard to help us see as much as possible on the tour especially when the weather wasn’t the best.
