I see the ages limit for this tour is 35. We are retired but in good shape. Why is there an age limit?

This brand has an age limit of 18-35 because it is designed specifically for young travelers who want to explore the world with like-minded people in a similar life stage. The focus is on building social connections, shared experiences, and a youthful style of travel. As you are outside this age range, you 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, which may be a perfect fit for you: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

Is this particular tour available for an older age group?

We appreciate your interest in one of our tours. Please be advised that our Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18 and 35 years old to participate. However, we do offer a range of open-age tours through our sister brands, which are perfect for travelers aged 5 and above.
