    Lynn

    Asked on June 28th, 2024

    I am 42 and want to do this tour with my 18 year old daughter. If I have already purchased the trip are they not going to allow me on the tour?? How would I be allowed to purchase if I'm not in the age limits??

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperator•Written June 2024

      We would like to inform you that the Contiki trips are specifically tailored for individuals aged 18 to 35 years old. This age range is chosen to ensure that the activities and experiences during the trip are best suited for a young and dynamic demographic.

    • L

      Lynn

      Traveler•Written July 2024

      I took out a loan to pay for this trip and this is the last time my daughter and I will be able to travel together for a long time. I know I am older but I can keep up, I am a nurse who works in the emergency room and and running on my feet all night long working 12 hour shifts. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for us please let us join.

    • ContikiOperator•Written July 2024

      We appreciate the effort you have put into organising this trip for you and your daughter and regret that we cannot book both of you on this Contiki adventure. Contiki, being a youth operator, strictly enforces a cut-off age of 35 years old, which prevents us from accommodating your request at this time.

    • L

      Lynn

      Traveler•Written July 2024

      I don't understand how you can put an age limit on an adventure like this is!! It is both disappointing and disheartening especially after I had told my daughter all about it and now have to break her heart and tell her it isn't happening.

    • ContikiOperator•Written July 2024

      The age limit on these tours is set as they are a youth group tour. Anyone, over the age limit can not join and there are no exceptions to this.
