    Carl

    Asked on June 25th, 2025

    I am trying to book a fully guided tour of europe for myself and my daughter for June 2026 however she will only be 17 at the time. Is 18 years of age a requirement for booking your tours?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten June 2025

      Contiki tours are designed specifically for young travelers and do have an age restriction. Guests must be between 18 and 35 years old at the time of travel to participate. Since your daughter will be 17 in June 2026, she unfortunately wouldn't be eligible to join a Contiki tour at that time. However, we have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences for guests aged 5 and up, with no upper age restrictions, which could be a perfect fit for your travel plans: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

    Asked on July 4th, 2024

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten July 2024

      Contiki's trips are tailored to a specific age group 18 to 35-year-olds. January 2025 is not yet available. We suggest checking with us by September to check whether the tour is open for January departure.
