    Ross

    Asked on May 23rd, 2026

    I'm 55 years old and I travel a lot. Can I join this tour for ages 35-45?

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperatorWritten May 2026

      Contiki's Scotland and Ireland 35–45 trip is strictly limited to guests up to 45 years old, so at 55 you wouldn't be eligible. You can join a Trafalgar tour, which offers very similar itineraries but welcomes a wider age range of travelers.

Can’t find the answer to your question?
Reach out to the experts at Contiki with your enquiry, they usually respond within 4 hours.
