- THThomas· July 4th, 2024This trip was truly a trip of a lifetime. When venturing to 7 countries in 9 days time was very limited; however, our tour guide (Emily McGuire) excelled in choosing activities that best represented each countries culture, as well as activities that made the trip more magical and memorable for everyone. Contiki not only allowed me to obtain a real taste and love of every country in Europe, but it also allowed me to make new friends from all over the world, which I believe may have been the best part!

Dave
Asked on September 5th, 2024Is the maximum group size of 54 usually full? I am concerned about the travel experience with so many people and would like to enjoy tour with small groups.
ContikiOperator•Written September 2024The maximum group size for this trip is 54 guests, but the average group size is typically around 38, which often means the tour is less crowded than the maximum limit. Travel is generally by bus, which is designed for comfort and convenience.

Asked on September 2nd, 2024Do you need a us visa to go to any of the above mentioned places.
- ContikiOperator•Written September 2024
For U.S. citizens traveling to the destinations listed in the "European Magic" tour by Contiki, you generally do not need a visa for short stays (up to 90 days within a 180-day period) in the countries included in this tour, as they are part of the Schengen Area. This applies to the following countries: United Kingdom (London), France (Paris), Switzerland (Swiss Alps), Italy (Venice), Germany (Munich), Netherlands (Amsterdam).

Traveler•Written September 2024Hi sorry for Trinidad citizens do you need a visa to travel?
- ContikiOperator•Written September 2024
Citizens of Trinidad generally need a visa to travel to the Schengen Area, which includes most of the countries on the "European Magic" tour by Contiki. You would need to apply for a Schengen visa to cover the countries in the Schengen Area (France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands) and a separate visa for the United Kingdom.

Asked on November 21st, 2023Is there a ferry to get back to Amsterdam on Jan 4 to get our flight home on Jan 5? Can I book this trip and is their availability for 4? Is there an option for 4 in a room or just 2 in each? Can I hold it at all?
- ContikiOperator•Written November 2023
First, there will be a complimentary return transfer to London by ferry, and post-night accommodation will be required as arrival at the London hotel will be at about 18:30. This trip is available and confirmed for an additional four travelers. Quad rooms are not available, but two twin rooms are perfect for all of you.

Traveler•Written November 2023Is this trip age limited? Two 24 yr olds and parents 57 and 58.... Is there a similar trip or group to accommodate us if so?

Asked on September 27th, 2023The travellers would like to finish the adventure on Day 7 when the adventure arrives in Paris, can you please advise if it will be possible to obtain a credit for the last 2 days that the travellers will not attend?
- ContikiOperator•Written September 2023
Unfortunately, the price of the trip will remain the same no matter where you decide to end the trip. If you do want to end in Paris we would recommend to continue the trip up until the end and stay in Paris on the last day rather than returning back to London.

Asked on May 10th, 2022Can I start in amsterdam and end in amsterdam? is it possible to be in amsterdam on may 22? will u prorate the tour?
- ContikiOperator•Written May 2022
You can certainly start this trip in Amsterdam on Day 1 but will need to end in either Paris or London as we do not travel back through Amsterdam at the end of the trip. There is no prorated price for starting/ending in a different city.

Asked on March 15th, 2022What does the age range mean? Does that mean that only 18-35 year olds can join this tour? I'm 40 years old and will still be by the time of my vacation. I'm sure I can handle the activities in this tour. Can I still book it?
- ContikiOperator•Written March 2022
Contiki Holidays has created a product specifically for the enjoyment of travelers in the 18-35 age group. We have a responsibility to adhere to our promise of travel for 18-35's and provide the type of holiday our travelers expect.
