How tight are the age ranges on your trips? I'm 50.

Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate. However, we have a Trafalgar tour that offer fantastic travel experiences starting from age 5, with no upper age restrictions, which may be a perfect fit for you. If you enjoyed the adventurous landscapes of Contiki's Fire and Ice and want a more inclusive, culturally immersive, and comfortable experience, our Trafalgar's Iceland Highlights is an excellent alternative. It covers nearly all the same "fire and ice" attractions, with added depth through cultural experiences and great accommodations. This brand provides a wide range of tours and travel styles that cater to different interests and preferences, ensuring a memorable and comfortable journey for all ages.

Can you detail more about the accommodations (bed sizes) and the capacity for the June 1st trip? Also, do you have room for 5 adults. Is there a different charge for a non-double?

On June 1st, this trip accommodates up to 40 travelers. You'll be roomed in a multi-share setup, typically in 4- to 6-bedded dorms. The total cost for this arrangement is US$1,895.00 per person (rate subject to change). During the trip, you'll spend 2 nights in hostels, 2 nights in hotels, and 1 night in a Special Stay experience.

I liked everything about this trip to Iceland - how we got to see the country, the insights into the Icelandic culture and of course the people. Our trip manager was really lovely and did a great job! I had a week were I didn‘t have to worry about anything because it already was perfectly planned. Thanks to that! I would definitely recommend Contiki Iceland Fire & Ice :)Show more

I had a really amazing time with my group in Iceland! I had a lot of worries prior to the trip because it was my first time out of North America, on my first solo trip, and I don't drink so I thought nobody was going to talk to me. It was quite the contrary, there will always be people who will talk to you & want to be around you. I found a great group of friends, we went on so many great adventures, learned a lot about Iceland, ate SUCH GOOD FOOD, and saw the best sights. Demi was a stellar trip manager, she made me feel so comfortable, she knows her stuff, and she made me laugh so many times during the trip. I'm so glad I went on this trip, and if you're on the fence, I'd say book it now, you won't regret it!Show more

I loved my trip to Iceland. Our tour manager Rob was amazing and really worked hard to help us see as much as possible on the tour especially when the weather wasn’t the best. I met some great people from around the world that I’m still in contact with and I had the best birthday ever during the trip!Show more
