- KKkana· March 24th, 2024The tour was amazing, the manager did a top notch job, it’s great for making lots of friends, such a blast.

Asked on November 14th, 2024do you do or know any operators who do basically the same tour trip for older people than contiki as im coming from australia to LA then be going to little rock arkanasas ie ending up in Dallas, denver ect then i can get flights to little rock or possibly find another tour passing through littlerock and drop of tour
- ContikiOperator•Written November 2024
We understand that you're looking for tour options that cater to older travelers similar to Contiki's offerings. While we don't have the exact same itinerary as Contiki, we do have open-age sister brands that provide fantastic travel experiences starting in Los Angeles. One option I can recommend is the Road Trip USA Coast to Coast tour with Costsaver. This tour offers an option to start in Los Angeles and will take you through Dallas Fort Worth, although it does conclude in New York. Additionally, we encourage you to check out our other open-age sister brands, which include: Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Brendan Vacations, Luxury Gold.

Asked on April 13th, 2024Is it possible to fly one day earlier? And do you know if there is an airport? Maybe the shuttle could bring me near the airport?
- ContikiOperator•Written April 2024
Yes, you may leave your trip early. We can make a note of this on your booking so that your trip manager will be aware. However, please note that leaving early won't change the price of your trip. Additionally, your arrival airport is Los Angeles International (LAX) and departure is Dallas Fort Worth International (DFW). Please be aware that transfers are not available through Contiki.

Asked on September 4th, 2022Wanted to check if I can skip the last destination as I need to get back on 15th..also alternatively do you have any departures for early Oct for a similar duration?
- ContikiOperator•Written September 2022
That is totally fine if you need to leave the trip early, but you will need to inform us in advance. We have the following trips with departures in early October: North Queensland Adventure, Sweet as South, Northern Choice, Moroccan Adventure, England and Scotland, and Real Sicily.
