    I went back in July 2019 on my first Contiki and I enjoyed every single minute of it! I experienced a lot of things, from culture shock, to delicious and tasty cuisines, adjusting to life on the other side of the world. The people were also what made the trip very memorable; I enjoyed talking with them and doing things with them and by the end, I felt like we were also close to each other!! :) We saw a lot of amazing sites in different cities (Great Wall, Beijing, Xian, Pandas in Chengdu, hiking the mountains in Yangshuo, admiring the skyline in Shanghai, and so on) and even partying out until 2 am a couple of times! Jelly was a very sweet, funny, friendly, and knowledgable, and anyone would be really lucky to have as their Contiki group manager!! Once again, my first Contiki in China was very memorable and I have no regrets of it whatsoever. This is what also kicked me off traveling with Contiki in different parts of the world.

    Hi! I actually didn’t go on the trip selected. I actually went way back in 2014 on the Thailand trip. The Reviews won’t let my post under it. The site asks if I am a “time traveler” LOL . Anyway, Hailee, I hope you are doing well. Idk if you will see this, but I’m sure you are leading excellent tours. You are the best. I followed you on X. My profile is very patriotic. - Danny

All questions
  • K

    Kristina

    Asked on January 12th, 2025

    Would like some clarification re end date please. Day 12 states 'flight to Seoul... South Korea trip complete'. But in 'Additional Services' mentions flight back to 'Seoul: one final night. One final meal together... BBQ'. The two seem to be contradictory. Could you please clarify?

    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten January 2025

      On Day 11, one day before the end of the tour, we offer a optional experience - Taste Authentic Korean Black Pork BBQ experience on Jeju Island. The group will then return to Seoul on Day 12, completing the South Korea trip.

      Kristina

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      For the absolute avoidance of confusion, Day 12, in this case 18th March, we could take an international flight? May I ask what time you normally fly back from Jeju to Seoul, roughly, and which airport you fly into in Seoul, if known?

    • ContikiOperatorWritten January 2025

      We expect to arrive back in Seoul approximately 12 PM on Day 12 (March 18). You can certainly book your return flight home for that same afternoon. The preferred departure airport in Seoul is Incheon International Airport (ICN).

    Dan

    Asked on December 15th, 2024

    Is that a firm age range, or can older individuals do this tour as well? My husband and I are taking our daughters on a South Korean trip as a college graduation trip. So the ages for everyone in our party will be 50, 45, 21, and 20.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten December 2024

      Contiki tours have an age restriction, and guests must be between 18-35 years old to be eligible to join. Unfortunately, as your age does not meet this requirement, we are unable to proceed with your reservation for a Contiki tour. However, we would like to recommend one of our sister brands - CostSaver which is open to all ages, and may be a great fit for you.

    Christian

    Asked on July 6th, 2024

    We are looking for South Korea tours for April/May 2025. We would like to visit Seoul/Hongdae/Gangnam/Jeju. Are there any trips that provides flexible schedule where we can roam around by ourselves then join the group after? We are not interested in KPOP classes, Taekwondo or DMZ. We simply want to roam around and sightsee.
