How much time approximately would we spend in Bath and Liverpool? I'm interested in seeing Beatles and Jane Austen related sites.

You will arrive in Bath at approximately 12:00 on Day 1, with free time to explore until the group departs around 15:00. On Day 3, you will arrive in Liverpool at around 11:00 and enjoy free time until departure at approximately 17:00. This should give you a good window to plan visits to the places you're most excited about, whether it's exploring Jane Austen's connections in Bath or immersing yourself in Beatles history in Liverpool.

We already past the age restriction, is it possible to still go with this trip?

Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate. If 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 from 5 years old and above age restrictions, which may be a perfect fit for you: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.
