why is tour aimed for the young up to 35? I'm 50 and would love to take a tour like this one

Contiki trips are specifically tailored for individuals aged 18 to 35 years old. This age range is chosen to ensure that the activities and experiences during the trip are best suited for a young and dynamic demographic.

where are the coach pick ups in London ?

Can you tell where the meeting point is in London please. Would like to book tour but need to know where to meet and travel on

I'm a young at heart 46 year old (who looks 35) and would love to spend my birthday on the 17th March in Dublin with my 29 year old goddaughter. Would this be possible please with your tour, as I see you have an age restriction?

Unfortunately our age limit is quite strict, with few exceptions. I would recommend getting in touch with a company like Trailfinders or Gold Medal to see if they can put together a St Patricks Day package, because it does sound like a great way to spend your birthday!

The tour was good I wished we had more time to see Manchester and Londonderry. The itinerary was good but didn’t like the ghost tour extra a lot of people didn’t enjoy the person giving it. The guy giving the ghost tour was not the regular person contiki uses though.
