    This tour with all its sights and activities was great! But it was truly our guide Bailey & our driver Tomasz that made it extraordinary!

    I was a little nervous to travel to Europe alone, as a single woman. I had a friend recommend that I try a tour instead of a solo adventure. I'm so grateful I went this route instead and had Rianna as my tour guide. She made us all feel very comfortable, especially me since this was my first time traveling by myself. Our tour group did not disappoint and I got to meet so many amazing people from around the world. I would highly recommend Rianna as your tour guide. Before booking your tour, make sure she is the lead.

    Asked on April 24th, 2025

    My partner and I are interested in this tour however the flights we're looking at won't get us into Paris until the night of 6th December and we're unable to leave any earlier. I can see a tour on the seine is happening that night - would there be any way of us missing that and still being able to be on the tour? We would need accommodation that night but would be joining the group the following day.

      You may join the tour later on Day 1, and miss the welcome reception and Seine River cruise. However, there will be no compensation or refund for the unused portion of the tour. Your Day 1 accommodation is already included, and you will stay at Ibis Paris Porte D'Orleans Hotel (or a similar property). Additionally, please note that Contiki tours are specifically designed for travelers aged 18 to 35, ensuring an engaging and dynamic experience for all participants.

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      We are planning on staying on in Paris for a few days after the cruise, is there any chance we use 2 x tickets for the seine river cruise on one of those nights instead?

    • ContikiOperatorWritten April 2025

      Regrettably, the Cruise down the River Seine is only available on day one and cannot be rescheduled to a later date.

    Asked on November 26th, 2024

    regarding ages on the tours, I'm 70 in great shape, run daily etc. can I go on tours with ages 18-35?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten November 2024

      We appreciate your interest in our tours. Unfortunately, our Contiki tours have an age restriction, and participants must be between 18 and 35 years old. Given that you're in great shape and keen to travel, we understand this may be disappointing. However, we'd like to recommend some of our open age sister brands that welcome a broader age range: Trafalgar, Costsaver, Brendan Vacations, Insight Vacations, Luxury Gold. These brands offer fantastic travel experiences without age limitations, and I think you'd find them enjoyable!
