Jasmine· May 5th, 2018Had the best time of my life and would book another contiki trip again in a heartbeatShow moreTrip date: April 2018- EEmily· April 14th, 2016Most amazing trip of my life! So much adventure!Show moreTrip date: January 2016
- CSChantell· April 12th, 2016This trip was the best thing I could have ever done! I'm so glad that I decided to travel with contiki and start in Darwin. I had no idea what to expect with the first half of the tour but can honestly say it exceeded all expectations. Australia, like Canada has such a large and varying past it was nice to see both sides of this amazing country. The second half, starting in Cairns, was full of action, excitement and wonder and am now very sad to have come to the end. Usually on tours I get sick of the pace and people and just want the trip to end as to not spoil the rest of the trip but this time it feels like even with 25 days and being ill I would gladly continue with contiki and the walk about if they'd have me! I have seen and done more then I have ever thought possible and have learned so much more about myself and opened myself back up to the world then I can scarcely believe. It is not only well worth the time investment but also the financial investment and I'd do it all over in a heartbeat. #noregrets really does exist!Show moreTrip date: March 2016
- CVCraig· April 10th, 2016It was an amazing experience, far above what I could have imagined. To get to visit so many places and have the opportunity to take part in so many activities is something I won't forget. The tour manager helps make you feel at ease by being so approachable. Now the end of the trip has come I would call him a friend, not the guy who ran it.Show moreTrip date: March 2016

- GSGemma· April 2nd, 2016The best thing I have ever done! Lovely group of people with friends made for life. Very well organised and an amazing experience with all the choices of activities. It went above and beyond my expectations. Trys Eddy our tour guide was on point. SO much enthusiasm, guidance, help and an all round nice guy who felt like one of the group. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone - and I have been!Show more

- SJSilvan· April 2nd, 2016It was absolutely amazing! We had the best tour "managers" (Trys and Paddy) and drivers (Benny and Gaz) I've ever had in my whole time of travelling. They are the funniest, nicest and most helpful guys I've met. Also the most accommodations were good and free of animals (gecko's, spiders ....) :D If it would be possible for me I would do this tour again!Show moreTrip date: October 2014

Asked on November 26th, 2022I booked a Perth to Darwin overland tour in 2020 and it was cancelled due to the pandemic. I had a deposit which I couldn't get back and was told I could put it towards another tour but it's not showing on my account. I'll be 37 and would LOVE to go on this ultimate Australia tour. I see it says 18-35 is the ideal age range but I'll be a little bit older. This shouldn't be a problem should it?
ContikiOperator•Written November 2022Contiki Holidays has created a product specifically for the enjoyment of travelers in the 18-35 age group. We have a responsibility to adhere to our promise of travel for 18-35's and provide the type of holiday our travelers expect. We do hope you can understand that we cannot accept travelers outside of these parameters.

Traveler•Written November 2022I don't understand at all. I'm not 'Over the hill' at 37 and the sorts of things you put on for your 18 to 35s are just what I'm looking to do. I don't want to go on some sort of old fogies' pedestrian tour ambling around doing before they cart me off to the knackers' yard. You were about to get thousands of pounds from me for this tour smh
