the info your postguys post is really useful! jst wondering; what is the age arnge od most people on the tour?

On my tour most people were in their early to mid 20s. The youngest person on the tour was 17, the oldest 35

Hey Everyone,
I'm NOT going on your trip but i've travelled with Contiki and would like to offer some advice:
If you plan on taking a credit card to Europe, you may want to call your credit card company to let them know you'll be travelling so they don't think the card has been stolen and cut you off.

Another thing I recommend is carrying your cash in a money belt, I find it safer.

When you pack, throw some clothing into your carry-on to ligten the weight of the suitcase and in case your luggage gets lost. Leave room for souveneirs & carry with you an extra copy of your pasport and hotel address list.

In terms of weight of luggage, it's the airlines that are more strict than Contiki. Each airline has their own weight threshold & will only be too glad to charge you extra for going over. You can find out the limit/rules by going on the airline's website.


Feel free to ask me anything else.

Hello,

No matter what the age group is, I'm sure you will end up havong an amazing time. This is my second time travelling contiki.

Have fun!

the simnply italy tour i went on last year, mostly everyone was around 24-26...there were some people 19 or 20 and there were a couple in their 30's.
but generally everyone was in their 20's. it really doesn't make a difference. one girl i thought was my age, 25...and came to find out she was 19.

I went in may this year. and pretty much 19 was the youngest, me and a couple of others at 21 and then mid 20's and over 30's were popular ages, mind you a couple of the over 30's partied a lot harder than the 20year olds!
