    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperator•Written February 2026

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate. As children are outside this age range, they would not be eligible to join the trip. However, we have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences starting from age 5, with no upper age restrictions: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, and Luxury Gold. These brands provide a wide range of tours and travel styles that cater to different interests and preferences.

    Jacqueline

    Asked on October 25th, 2025

    Could you please confirm the refund policy for my booking if my Schengen visa application is refused? Are there any challenges, requirements, or extra charges I should be aware of when travelling on a Schengen visa for this trip?

    Payments
    Visa
    • ContikiOperator•Written October 2025

      If your Schengen visa application is refused, Contiki may offer a partial refund depending on the timing and documentation provided. Cancellation charges vary from deposit to 100% of trip price depending on days before departure.

    • J

      Jacqueline

      Traveler•Written October 2025

      Would you be the one who applies for VISA on my behalf or would I need to book the VISA and the travel insurance by myself? What is the initial deposit for the trip and what would be the amount I would be required to pay beyond the deposit?

    • ContikiOperator•Written October 2025

      Travelers are responsible for securing and paying for their own visa, travel insurance, and entry requirements. The standard deposit is £60.00, but since this is within 60 days of departure, full payment of £1,406.00 for a single room or £1,069.00 for twin-share is required.
