    • ContikiOperatorWritten September 2023

      Contiki Holidays has created a product specifically for the enjoyment of travelers in the 18-35 age group. We do hope you can understand that we cannot accept travelers outside of these parameters. If you are looking for a similar experience, we recommend checking out Costsaver Tours and Trafalgar Tours.

    Why age range? Would 60 years old patrons be welcome to join this tour?

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperatorWritten March 2023

      Unfortunately, Contiki only focuses on travellers between 18 to 35 and would not be able to accommodate anyone outside of that age range.

      Tour looks amazing. My wife and I want something like this but we are over 50 is there any options?

    • ContikiOperatorWritten September 2022

      Contiki runs tours exclusively for travellers between ages (18-35). So we would need to find some alternative options for you. They are designed and marketed towards budget-minded young travellers wanting to meet other people their age from all over the world. These tend to be very popular with students and backpackers. A lot of these are operated by Contikis sister companies Trafalgar, Costsaver and Insight Vacations so those would be ones I do recommend.
