    Dem was absolutely amazing. Her knowledge of every place we went really helped to solidify the experience and I learnt a lot through her fun stories and ways of explaining things. She became more than our trip manager she became our friend and our person if we needed anything she was always willing to help

    Luke

    Asked on June 13th, 2022

    I see it says 18-35 year olds, but my husband will be 36 when the trip rolls around. Does that matter?

    Age Range
    • ContikiOperatorWritten June 2022

      Yes, that will make a difference. You do need to be within the age group of 18 - 35 on Day 1 of your trip with us. Are you able to attend the trip at an earlier date?

  • P

    Pamela

    Asked on March 28th, 2022

    Looking at the Rome to Barcelona train trip in August, do you have one that would encompass all of these stops plus Venice? Would take a few more days if we could see a few more Italy cities

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • ContikiOperatorWritten April 2022

      Unfortunately we do not offer any of our train itineraries that go to Venice. We do however have a number of Italian itineraries that you could book to do before your Rome to Barcelona by train trip begins. That would include our Simply Italy trip or our Italian Espresso trip. Please let us know if you are interested in pairing up these trips and we can assist.
