    Asked on December 21st, 2025

    The tour includes transportation??

    Transport
    • ContikiOperatorWritten December 2025

      Yes, transportation is included! This tour is a fully guided coach trip, meaning all travel between the cities and countries on the itinerary is covered by Contiki's private coach service. While transportation between destinations is covered, keep in mind: Flights are not yet included. Arrival airport transfer is not available. On the last day, there is a complimentary drop off at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport at about 10:00. Do not schedule international flights before 13:00.

    Asked on September 27th, 2025

    Wondering if there is a similar trip to this for over 35's as like the look of this itinerary but I'm now within the ages listed.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten September 2025

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate. We recommend alternative tours from CostSaver and Trafalgar for travelers over 35.

    • C

      Carrie

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      I realise we are outside the age restriction. Is there a similar tour for older ages?

    • ContikiOperatorWritten October 2025

      While Contiki tours are designed specifically for travelers aged 18-35, both Costsaver and Trafalgar offer fantastic alternatives with similar itineraries that are open to all adult age groups.
