Looking for an epic adventure with other travellers your age? Contiki offers some of the best tours around for the experience of a lifetime.
Contiki specialises in tours for 18-35-year-olds, with adventures taking place in Europe, Asia, Latin America, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Their tours vary in length - from as little as 3 days to more than a month, which is perfect to tack onto a long backpacking trip or to just get away from the daily grind or uni lectures.
The company encourages single travellers to join, and pairs solo adventurers up with a roommate so you don't have to fork out extra for a single supplement (but you can, if you'd like.)

What do I need to know about Contiki?
Do Contiki tours include flights?
Airfare from your home city to the start of your tour is not included in the tour price. Some Contiki tours do include flights during the tour to cover longer distances in a shorter period of time. You'll know whether your tour includes any flights by checking the tour itinerary map, which is available on the company's website. If the line drawn between destinations has an image of a plane next to it, that leg of your journey will be covered by plane at no additional charge.
Another place you can find this information is on the right side of the screen on your tour's page. In the "What's Included" section, it will list how many (if any) internal flights are included in your tour.
Are Contiki tours worth it?
Group tours often do work out to be slightly more expensive than if you were to plan out the journey and travel it on your own. However, consider the added costs to include everything from the knowledge of a guide who will be travelling with you, the friends you'll make while on tour, and the convenience of having all the hard work done for you - everything from booking your hotel to deciding which restaurant to have dinner at.
Where do Contiki tours leave from in London?
Contiki tours depart from the Royal National Hotel at 6am for camping, budget and concept tours and at 6.45 for time out, superior and hotel tours. There is usually a pre-departure meeting the night prior to your Contiki tour, so it's a good idea to arrive the day prior with enough time to get to your accommodation and then to the group meeting spot.
Do Contiki buses have Wi-Fi?
Wi-Fi is available on most of Contiki's coaches, and the majority of the accommodation sites where you'll stay during the tour.
Cancellations and changes with Contiki
If you have to cancel your Contiki tour, the best way to do it is through the agent you made your booking with.

By paying $99 per person with your deposit, the full amount of your deposit and/or payment to Contiki will be refunded if you cancel your tour for any reason prior to leaving Australia.
If you need to make changes to your air itinerary, fees may apply depending on the airline are flying with. If you purchased your flights through Contiki, you should call your nearest office and speak to a reservations officer for more information.
