Judith
Asked on September 15th, 2025Are there any people his age that have booked?
ContikiOperator•Written September 2025Contiki tours, including Japan in a Week, are designed specifically for travelers aged 18 to 35, so your 19-year-old son would be right in the heart of the target age range. While we can't disclose specific guest details, it's very common for solo travelers in their late teens and early twenties to join these trips.

Judith
Traveler•Written September 2025Does he get to choose who his roommate will be on the trip? Or is it automatically assigned?
- ContikiOperator•Written September 2025
He can book a single room, which offers privacy but comes at a higher cost. Rate will be $2,889.00. Alternatively, he can choose a twin share room, where he'll be automatically paired with another traveler of the same gender. Roommates are assigned by Contiki, so guests don't choose who they'll be sharing with. Rate will be $2,066.00.
