    Asked on November 23rd, 2025

    Not sure about the itinerary. Where do I need to find flights from and forth?

    Flights / Transfers
    • ContikiOperatorWritten November 2025

      This tour is a fixed guided itinerary, so flights are not included in the package. You'll need to arrange your flights to and from the tour's start and end cities: Start city: London, England. End city: London, England (the tour is a loop, beginning and ending in London). That means you'll book your flights into London before the tour begins and out of London after the tour ends. Be aware that pre-tour hotel accommodation in London is required, as the departure time on the first day is very early. Many travelers choose to arrive at least one night before to ensure they're ready for the start of the trip.

    Asked on October 8th, 2025

    Is the age limit a hard cutoff? I just turned 36 in August. Does the age demographic skew higher or lower range?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten October 2025

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. We would like to recommend CostSaver which is open to all ages, and may be a great fit for you.

    James

    Asked on August 9th, 2025

    If I book this tour, will it be acceptable to apply for a French visa? Do I need to purchase travel insurance separately, or will the insurance provided by your company be sufficient for the visa application? What is the difference between the Standard and Plus tour packages? Is the tour fully refundable?

    Travel Support
    Visa
    • ContikiOperatorWritten August 2025

      Australian citizens do not require a visa to enter France for short stays. Starting in 2026, you will need to apply for an ETIAS. Travel insurance is mandatory and must be purchased separately. Standard Tour stays in multi-share hostels with up to 5 other travelers. Plus Tour provides upgraded 3-star hotels with twin-sharing. The tour is not fully refundable as deposit is non-refundable and cancellation penalties vary based on days before tour departure.

      James

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      I am a Myanmar passport holder currently residing in the UK on a PSW visa. This will be my first time traveling to Europe, and I would like to apply for a Schengen visa. Could you please advise which type of Schengen visa I should apply for? Would I be eligible for a refund if my visa application is rejected?

    • ContikiOperatorWritten August 2025

      Visa requirements vary based on nationality and residence. Check updated visa requirements through official channels. If your visa application is rejected, deposits are non-refundable.
