George
Asked on February 10th, 2025How strict are Contiki about age range? Although I am older than 35, I enjoy these activities/tours more. Is it just a guide line?
ContikiOperator•Written February 2025Contiki is indeed quite strict about its age policy, requiring all travelers to be between 18 and 35 years old to join our trips. We understand that this may come as a disappointment, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. If you're looking for similar tours that are open to all ages, we would recommend exploring our sister brands like Trafalgar, Costsaver, Brendan Vacations, Insight Vacations, and Luxury Gold.
