2. Hi, I am 33 and I want to take a Contiki trip to Europe with my husband who is in his mid forties (He is a lot of fun!). This would be my second Contiki travel. The first one was to Italy, and I had a blast!. Please, reply as soon as you can. Thanks a lot!

3. hi i have a quick question? i have read through similar pages regarding age restrictions but wanted to actually post my situation just to clarify. my sister and i are in our early twenties and would love to take our mother over to ireland for her first trip. Upon discovering this site we immediently felt the energy and ethusiasm and fell in love, we want to pick a tour however due to our circumstances we wouldnt be able to go till we finish uni…which would then make my mum a very young, highly spirited (and healthy)50. obviously this is waaay out of the age range so i understand if it is not allowed but if this is the case what is another tour organisation that has the same atmosphere and is by no means simply made up of retirees? please help smila_jack@hotmail.com

4. I’m 17 and my friend and I wanted to leave for the European Experience trip on August 1st of this year. The thing is that August 1st is her 18th birthday. We understand that in order for us to go together, the waiver must be signed. But are we allowed to leave the day she turns 18? Can she sign the waiver while she is 17?? Or do we need to leave after her birthday??? We want to go so badly!

8. 17 year olds who are travelling with someone who is over 18 is not problem at all – just get the waiver signed (Call Contiki or ask your travel agent for the form) – 16 is too young though.

10. I’m 36 and took my first (solo) Contiki trip, European Encounter, in April 2007. Our bus was full, the energy was high and it was the best three weeks of my year! Age really is a mind set. Remember when you get on the bus everyone already has at least one thing in common…a love of travel. I met the most incredible people that I still keep in touch with. I’m currently booking two more Contiki trips!
