    Asked on September 23rd, 2025

    Can you give senior disccount ( such as $20 each )?

    Price / Availability
    • ContikiOperatorWritten September 2025

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate. As you are outside this age range, you would not be eligible to join the trip.

      Robyn

      TravelerWritten September 2025

      why you can't allow over 35 at your 4 day Cape exploer? even we have great health?

    • ContikiOperatorWritten September 2025

      Contiki's age limit of 18–35 isn't about health or ability, but about creating a shared travel experience for people in a similar life stage. The vibe of Contiki tours, especially short ones like the 4-day Cape Explorer, is fast-paced, social, and designed to connect young travelers through group activities, nightlife, and adventure.

    Can a 45-year old be booked in this tour?

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperatorWritten June 2025

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate. As you are outside this age range, you would not be eligible to join the trip. We have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences without age restrictions: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

    Lindsay

    Asked on May 2nd, 2025

    Hi, I am going on the Cape Town trip in July and was wondering what is the best and safest form of transportation from Cape Town airport to Protea Hotel Cape Town Waterfront Breakwater Lodge.

    Transport
    • ContikiOperatorWritten May 2025

      We highly recommend using Uber which is around R200-300 and takes about 30 to 45 minutes travel time from airport to the hotel.
