    Our Team appreciates hearing your thoughts on your recent trip with Contiki as this really helps us to get an insight into where we're going right and where potential improvements might be made. As such, while it's great to read that you enjoyed travelling in the company of your Trip Manager, we regret to read that some of the meals and Free Time Add-Ons may not have lived up to what you had been hoping for. We always aim to provide our travellers with experiences that will give them a taste of what the locals eat and enjoy, and so please be assured that your comments have been shared with our Operations Department for their consideration going forward, and, moreover, to ensure that we're continuing to offer our travelllers the Contiki experience they expect. Having said this, we hope you'll give us the chance to host you again some time so that we can restore your initial impression of our company.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten December 2025

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old. As children and their mom are outside this age range, they would not be eligible to join the trip. 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 them: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.
