Contiki commented on this reviewThank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased that you have enjoyed your adventure. We hope you will travel with us again.Trip date: April 2025- MGMark· July 10th, 2023Really wish they spelled out that the Ireland trip is just a portion of a larger trip - most of the people have already travelled together for two weeks, so that was kinda awkward. Great trip for 18-24 year old Australians.Show moreTrip date: July 2023

Sam
Asked on February 13th, 2025My wife and I are in our late sixties....I noticed the age group for this tour is 18-35...Would we be out of place due to our age or do middle aged people upto 70 go on this tour too ?
ContikiOperator•Written February 2025Contiki tours have an age restriction, requiring guests to be between 18-35 years old to participate. As you are outside this age range, you would not be eligible to join the trip. We have several sister brands that offer fantastic travel experiences without age restrictions, such as Trafalgar and Costsaver.

Asked on April 13th, 2023only have 5 days in total can you get off tour at that point and make own arrangements if not completing whole tour? is the price the same as full tour?
- ContikiOperator•Written April 2023
You do have the option to end the trip early, but you are not compensated for the lost days of the trip. Will be the same price as the full tour.

Arthur
Asked on July 12th, 2022What's the difference between the Active and Regular tour?
- ContikiOperator•Written July 2022
The Active Ireland Trip is packed with experiences to get your adrenaline pumping. A good level of fitness and the ability to hike for 4-6 kms on uneven ground is required. You will need to know how to swim to participate in any water based activities. We have special departures with experiences like Kissing the Blarney Stone in Cork and pouring the perfect pint in Dublin, combined with Active Experiences every day. We will mix it up with a range of experiences like White Water Rafting, Kayaking and loads of epic hikes.
