I noticed most of your tours indicate ages from 18 to 35. Do you not allow people over 35?!? My wife and I are both in our 70's but very healthy. Please clarify.

Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. 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.

Is it recommended to arrive on 5 aug or earlier on 4 aug? Can an extra night be booked in the first accommodation? Are most people staying a few days in Athens after the trip? Is it recommended to bring a backpack or wheeled travel bag? What are the ages and nationalities of other travelers?

Tom was Incredible. One of the kindest people you’ll ever meet, was incredibly open to any issues or concerns you may have along the trip. He was very knowledgeable, had so many fun and interesting facts to tell you if you were interested, which I was for sure! And he did so well to guide us through the trip even when things went slightly wrong, he always had a backup plan. He made my trip around Europe so much better, I cannot say thank you enough. Highly recommend, the best of the best for sure!!Show more
