    · October 10th, 2023
    Was in the Egypt and the Contiki tour was scheduled to leave the next week. Wanted to see if there was any spots available but they would not look up to see if there was any seats available unless I paid in full. Stupidity I paid in full and then 2 days later they told me that the tour was full. I asked for a refund - they wanted to keep the money for another tour! The tour was over AUD $3000 and 1 month later, they still have not refunded the money. Contiki initially said 7-10 business days for a refund, then I had to chase them again, and then it was 21 days and the next email was 21 business days and now more than 1 month later, still no refund.

    Asked on January 12th, 2022

    Travel Support
    • ContikiOperatorWritten January 2022

      On average, between 60 and 70% of our travellers go solo so you won't be the only one. On our trips that use hotel accommodation, we can room you with another same-gender traveler so there is no single-supplement fee, or you can choose to have your own room for a little extra. On our hostel trips you will room with up to 6 other travelers of the same gender so will have plenty of opportunities to meet new people!
