Asked on December 6th, 2024Does this tour include Hobbiton? Can I know the demographics of the group on the 11th of January? Can I join you on the 12th evening? Can I have more details about sharing accommodation?
ContikiOperator•Written December 2024After reviewing your request, we offer free time add-ons to Hobbiton for NZ$189.00. Perhaps, the trip manager will provide the final list of free time add-ons on the trip date. Please note that Contiki tours have an age requirement, allowing only guests aged 18–35 to participate. Yes, you are welcome to join the group on the evening of the 12th, but please be aware that the trip will still cost USD$3,968.00 for a single room. Trip rate is subject to change. If you choose to share a room, it will be with fellow travelers of the same gender.
