Asked on January 12th, 2025Is that going to be impossible? If so, do you have anything similar.
ContikiOperator•Written January 2025Unfortunately, Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring participants to be between 18 and 35 years old. We recommend considering our open-age sister brands, such as Trafalgar, Costsaver, Brendan Vacations, Insight Vacations, and Luxury Gold, as they offer itineraries that may be a better fit for you.

Asked on August 1st, 2024I was hoping to book this tour in for the next couple of weeks but as it includes Jasper I wanted to ask if the tour is modified around the wild fires and would we move to another town instead or are the tours cancelled due to this?
- ContikiOperator•Written August 2024
Jasper National Park has extended its closure until August 6, 2024. Some of our tour departures are impacted, including in Canada and the Rockies. As a workaround, all of the departed tours were rerouted. There is no update on whether the tour will be canceled due to the current situation in Jasper National Park, but rest assured, our team is closely monitoring the situation.

Amelia
Asked on May 12th, 2023Are you have availability for May of this year and if yes what date is it for one traveller? Would it be possible to have my own room? Can you please explain what "2 nights in, 2 nights in Special Stay" means? Are entrances to National Parks included?
- ContikiOperator•Written May 2023
We have still 1 last departure date available for May which is 28 May to 07 June of 2023. Single Room is available for request, however this is not guaranteed as rooms are now subject for availability. 2 nights special stay is in Contiki's Tunnel Mountain Resort in Banff (multi-share only - max 4 people same room together and same gender only). Entrance to parks are included, however Free Time Add Ons or additional excursions are at an additional cost which are bookable only whilst on trip.

Asked on April 14th, 2023I am a 31 year old solo traveller and would be interested in joining this tour, are you able to confirm the approximate ages of the others who have booked on this week?
- ContikiOperator•Written April 2023
We do not have access to the exact number of people booked nor ages as we have booking regions all over the world. As it gets closer to your departure date you can login to 'My Contiki' where you will be able to chat with other travelers on your trip. This will give you a better idea of how many people are booked!

Dale
Asked on July 9th, 2022What age range is this tour the most appropriate for? We are both 56 but are fit. We don't ski or snowboard but would be happy to canoe and raft down a river and possibly zip line. Can we whale watch as part of this trip or can you recommend a stop off for us after Vancouver?
- ContikiOperator•Written July 2022
Contiki Holidays has created a product specifically for the enjoyment of travelers in the 18-35 age group. 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. If you're looking for something different, why not check out our river cruises at U by Uniworld!
