Customer Reviews
- Katrina· July 28th, 2025My trip was absolutely fantastic from start to finished. My trip was impeccably run by tour manager Dem, who was organised, kind, flexible and provided all the fun. Despite the brief stops in each location, I was able to get a taste of the culture with a an agenda that had the perfect mix of structure and time to explore. Trips on the coach were smooth, with amazing driver Raf behind the wheel. It was a pleasure to spend some down time with Raf and Dem and their knowledge and experience was incredible. The organisation was impressive and smooth which made the trip stress freeShow more
- Stephanie· July 7th, 2025Dem was the best. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better trip manager. She ticks every box and is a massive asset to contiki.Show more
- Luke· July 6th, 2025My Contiki Experience was amazing and I would recommend the business to any young people travelling solo or with there mates as it’s the best experience I’ve had so far in my life. Also my Trip manager Dem was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better trip manager. Thanks Contiki and Dem!Show more

Asked on April 24th, 2025My 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.
- ContikiOperator•Written April 2025
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.

Traveler•Written April 2025We 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?
- ContikiOperator•Written 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, 2024regarding ages on the tours, I'm 70 in great shape, run daily etc. can I go on tours with ages 18-35?
- ContikiOperator•Written 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!
