Is there any age restriction?

Do you have this tour starting from Edinburgh?

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.

  Do you have this tour starting from Edinburgh?
- ContikiOperator•Written August 2026
  Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate.
  
  The England in a Week tour does not offer departures starting in Edinburgh. However, if you'd like to begin your journey in Edinburgh, there is a Scotland in a Week tour, which starts in Edinburgh and showcases the very best of Scotland's breathtaking scenery, historic landmarks, and vibrant culture.
  
  If you're outside Contiki's age range, another excellent alternative is Trafalgar's Real Britain tour. While Real Britain does not start in Edinburgh (it typically begins in London), it offers a more comprehensive exploration of Great Britain, including England, Scotland, and Wales. The itinerary includes time in Edinburgh and other iconic destinations, making it a great option for guests looking for a broader British experience with Trafalgar's guided travel style, premium inclusions, and expert Travel Director support throughout the journey.
