Asked on November 28th, 2025Do you know if this tour will definitely go ahead?

Traveler•Written November 2025What is the age range for the Costsaver trip? I'm worried about being the oldest on the trip at 35.

Costsaver trips generally attract a broader mix of travelers. While you may find some older guests, it's not exclusively 65+ groups. Groups often include solo travelers, couples, and friends across different age brackets.

Chelsea
Asked on January 20th, 2025Could you see how booked the trip is? Is there a guarantee the trip will run if I book now and book my own flight? Can flights also be booked through you? Are there transfer options from airport to hotel in LA?
- ContikiOperator•Written January 2025
At this point, we cannot predict when it will become a definite departure, as it depends on the number of booked passengers. We need to meet the required group size. We advise against making non-refundable flight arrangements until the trip is confirmed. Contiki does not provide transfers, so guests will need to arrange their own transportation. Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring participants to be between 18-35 years old.
