“People have already said it, but I’ll say it again: the itinerary is amazing. How many people in their twenties get to say they’ve partied in Ibiza, sipped wine in Santorini, cooked paella in Barcelona, and soaked up the sun in the French Riviera?”

–Jennifer, traveled on European Summer Jun. 2022

The tour was amazing, the manager did a top notch job, it’s great for making lots of friends, such a blast. A little rushed and fast paced, but it’s better than the stress of organising your own trip. Definitely doing it again

Splendors of the West

The tour was excellent, hotels were amazing and you couldn't fault the tour guide Laura. Everything was taken care of and we were kept well informed of everything all of the time. A trip of a lifetime! I can't wait to book the next one. The only thing I would say is that I think the optional activities should have been included in the price considering how expensive it is.

Bucket list itineraries

Sure, you can travel to India to see the Taj Mahal, but we like to share a laugh with a local chai wallah in the market while we’re at it. Our trips include loads of big-ticket attractions as well as plenty of unique and unexpected experiences you can only have with a local guide.

Legendary leaders

The best folks to show you around are the ones who live there. Our local leaders know these destinations like an old friend, so get ready to eat at the best street food joints, get to know the culture in depth and experience things you wouldn’t be able to on your own.

Creating positive change

We're on a mission to create positive change through the joy of travel. That’s why all our trips are carbon offset, and we give back to the communities we visit with the help of The Intrepid Foundation. When you travel with us, you travel with purpose.

Small groups

With an average group size of 10 people, our groups are big enough to create a good vibe but small enough to blend in with the locals. Whether you’re travelling solo or with mates, you’ll really get to know your group and will never be stuck for someone to grab a drink with.

Great value

From the old-world streets of Hanoi to bustling Ho Chi Minh City – and all the temples, motorbikes and banh mi in between – adventures await in Vietnam. On this epic adventure from north to south, we’ll get you chomping and slurping pho-nomenal food, kayaking around Cat Ba island (away from the tourists), cycling through rice paddies and crossing the hectic Vietnamese roads like a local in no time.

Munch your way through Mexico

Discover the real Mexico on an overland adventure, from the sprawling metropolis of Mexico City to the white sand beaches and underground caverns of Playa del Carmen. Fill your belly with regional specialities in the foodie capital of Oaxaca (think everything from spicy mole to lime grasshoppers), uncover Maya mysteries at Chichen Itza and swim in the dreamy Agua Azul waterfall.

18 to 35s trip reviews

Is every trip guaranteed to run.

Our trips are guaranteed to depart once they have one fully paid customer, unless the minimum group size listed in the Essential Trip Information and/or Special Conditions state otherwise.

Do you cater for food allergies/dietary requirements?

We’ll try our very hardest to accommodate all dietary requirements, but it can be difficult to guarantee in some out-of-the-way places. We'll let you know if there are places on your itinerary where this is the case. Please let us know your dietary requirements at the time of booking and we’ll pass the information on to your leader.

What’s the standard of accommodation on an 18 to 35s trip?

You’ll be staying in simple, well-located accommodation with shared amenities, though it's common for rooms to be ensuite. Rooming is organised on a twin-share basis. We pair up solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports.

If your gender identity differs from what is indicated on your passport, please contact us so that we can discuss rooming options with you. If you'd like your own space, most of our trips also have the option to pay a fee for an individual room.

Will the accommodation have Wi-Fi?

Most hotels, cafes and bars have Wi-Fi, especially in big cities and towns. In remote places (like the Sahara and the Amazon Rainforest) or on treks or homestays, you won’t be able to access Wi-Fi or mobile data as easily. Your leader will give you a heads-up beforehand so you can call home or send a quick WhatsApp.

Your leader can also help you buy a local SIM card if you'd like to stay connected.

Do I need to purchase travel insurance?

You sure do. Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips if you’re travelling internationally. Your leader will take down your insurance details on the first day in case they are needed during the trip, so make sure to bring your policy documents.

Learn more about travel insurance .

Do I need any travel vaccinations?

Vaccination requirements differ depending on the destination, and as we’re not medical practitioners, unfortunately we can't advise on this issue. Please see your local GP or travel doctor for details and advice about current vaccination requirements.  

Learn more about entry and health requirements for the destination(s) you’ll be visiting .

Stories from the road

Contiki Tour: The Easy Way to Travel Solo to Europe

The writer was hosted.

Touring Portugal and Spain with  Contiki , a travel tour company that organizes trips for people ages 18-35, made me realize how easy international travel could be for a woman traveling solo. I didn’t have to plan anything; all I had to do was pack my bags and show up!

I could put all of that planning energy into being present in the moment – and getting to know my traveling partners and exploring the wonders of Spain and Portugal.

As a woman in her mid-20s, I felt like the best part of the trip was the people I got to meet. During the days spent riding in the coach from one place to another, I formed bonds with random strangers from all over the world who ended up becoming some of my closest friends, who I still keep in touch with today!

Sharing these experiences with equally enthusiastic travelers and making connections is what makes Contiki so special and unique.

Here’s my take on Contiki Tours , along with some tips for making the most of your trip.

Contiki Tour Highlights

• Everything is planned for you  – accommodations, transportation, and tours.
• It’s easy to bow out of the planned itinerary  and do your own thing for a few hours or a day.
• Traveling with people from around the world  who become like family by the end of the week.

Things You Need to Know

• Bring extra cash.  There are opportunities for add-on excursions that are not included in the base price of the tour. And not all meals are included.
• Pack light.  This tour changes hotels every night or two. You won’t want to drag a huge suitcase along.
• The tour activities are mostly walking tours.  And there is a lot of eating! Bring pants with a stretchy waist.

A Note about Safety

Never did I ever feel unsafe throughout the trip. Everywhere I was, there was always Contiki staff or the group nearby to help if I needed it.

I could not recommend Contiki enough to young people who are looking to travel and meet new people – experiences like this that get you out of your comfort zone are worth it. Traveling with Contiki makes it stress-free and easy to dip your toes into the traveling experience!

Before the Contiki Tour Begins

My tour of Spain and Portugal officially started when the group met at a hotel in Lisbon. But a week before, I was surprised to get a box in the mail from the Contiki staff. The box included a Contiki-branded travel backpack, a Contiki-branded stainless-steel water bottle, travel-themed stickers to decorate my new water bottle, and a small package of Paella seasoning.

My new Contiki backpack was exactly what I needed as my carry-on bag for the trip. In that bag, I packed my new stainless-steel water bottle decorated with all my new Contiki stickers. The backpack also held all of my in-flight essentials, and books to have on hand.

I held onto the Paella seasoning for after the trip when I felt like reminiscing.

Meeting the Group

I arrived in Lisbon early, so I took a few hours to explore the city before returning to the hotel to meet the group. In the lobby, I was greeted immediately by my wonderful Contiki Trip Manager, Maddy, and our coach driver, Bart.

As members of the group trickled in, we introduced ourselves and shared stories of our journey to Lisbon. It was exciting to learn this trip brings people together from all corners of the world!

Next, we headed into a conference room for our “Kickstart Meeting.” That was where we were briefed with introductions, general contacts, what to expect, safety considerations, and given the opportunity to ask any questions.

This was where I learned about the thieves who pick the pockets of tourists in Europe and to always keep our bags and smaller items in a secure cross-over bag or hidden somewhere. This was never an issue during my trip, but it was good to know.  

The Contiki Tour Difference

There are, of course, many tour companies that operate tours in Europe. Contiki focuses on people my age, which meant that I was traveling with people of a similar age and travel style. We were all excited to experience Spain and Portugal and we were all enthusiastic travelers.

Since the tour is geared toward young people, I was a little surprised to find that most of the touring involved walking. Like me, the other tour participants were fit and physically able. We did get a chance to zipline one day; I enjoyed that very much. I would have liked more opportunities for that kind of elevated experience.

Walking is always a great way to see a city, but for people who are used to more vigorous physical activity, it would have been nice to have some more exhilarating activity options.

SheBuysTravel Tip:  One of the best things about Contiki is the option to not follow the planned itinerary. I highly recommend taking time for a little solo exploration – on your own or with one of your new-found friends.

My Tour of Portugal and Spain

Contiki offers tours in Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. My tour hit the highlights of Spain and Portugal, including lots of delicious food stops.

Portugal with Contiki

Stops in Portugal included Lisbon , where our tour started, and Porto , where we visited Companhia Agricola do Sangeuinhal , located in the wine countryside.

Along the way, we explored the cobblestone streets and tasted traditional Portuguese tarts. Every local we asked had the same recommendation: “Go to Pastéis de Belém.”

This place has served fresh, traditional egg tarts  since 1837. It is the staple of the city and once you show up, there is a line of locals out the door holding their blue boxes of tarts, which is always a good sign. Pastries are cheap and can range from $1-$5 USD.

Conveniently, the Belém Tower  is nearby. It’s a breathtaking, 16th-century landmark that symbolizes the colonial power of Portugal. You can’t miss this.

As a group, we shared traditional Portuguese dishes with beef and roasted local vegetables,  but the best of the best we decided on as a group was the Pici Cacio E Pepe, thick, handmade pasta in a creamy decadent, and peppery sauce, and to finish, the dessert had won us over when the waiter came out with a massive dish of Tiramisu over his shoulder and a very large spoon to serve right onto our plates – pair that with a little glass of red wine or some espresso and you are already feeling like a European.

SheBuysTravel Tip:  There was a slight language barrier if you do not speak Portuguese or good Spanish, but with pointing and a little knowledge of Spanish, they can help you successfully order. And, of course, the Contiki tour guides were always happy to translate!

Exploring Spain with Contiki Tours

Toledo is where we thrill seekers had a blast. We headed to Fly Toledo , a company that specializes in ziplining across the river. It is the most thrilling and exhilarating experience! Don’t forget to smile at the end when they take your picture and give them your email so they can send the photo to you.

But ziplining isn’t the only reason to visit Toledo. If, like me, you’re a Game of Thrones fan, the city will take your breath away. As you head into the city, stop at the scenic overlook to snap some pictures and videos or simply admire the views of the ancient city.

For lunch, head to La Cave , where you can dive into rustic underground caverns, followed by some cheeses, bread, and roasted meat entrees that come right off the grill.

Madrid, Spain

This iconic city is home to stunning architecture and landmarks. Your first stop needs to be The Royal Palace  – it holds more than 3,000 rooms inside!

Next, grab an espresso and the most buttery and flakey croissant you’ll ever have at Grupo Lezama , a cafe right on the corner that overlooks the palace. Next head to Plaza Mayor , one of the most popular destinations in Madrid – and for good reason. Everyone and their entire family and friends were out in this plaza, grabbing a coffee, grabbing lunch, or simply just getting some sun in. The plaza is massive and is surrounded by stores, cafes, gelato shops, and churro vendors.

The must-have sweet treat of Madrid is Churros. For the most traditional kind, go to Chocolateria San Gines , which has been serving since 1894. You’ll find it on a quaint cobblestone street with iconic green and white frames with servers bustling out the door with hot plates of crispy churros stacked on a plate with mugs with steaming hot, thick chocolate. At one point, I did stop eating the churros just to sip on the decadent mugs of chocolate – seriously so good.

Lastly, you can’t say you’ve been to Spain if you have not been to a Flamenco dancing show . One of the oldest flamenco dancing establishments in the world is Tablao Flamenco  – 1911. Make sure to wear your best flamenco outfit!

As you are guided to your table in the open ballroom, wine or other beverages are served first, followed by the biggest, heaping plate of paella you’ve’ ever seen. Men and women begin their performances in an authentic and traditional flamenco show; the ladies worse beautiful flowing red gowns and you cannot keep your eyes off of them.

Plan to Bunk with a Roommate

We stayed in four different hotels on our 8-night tour. All of the hotels included a television, wifi, and two twin beds.

Contiki encourages roommates in order for people to get to know each other better. I traveled solo so Contiki assigned me a roommate for the trip. I could have requested a room to myself but because getting to know the people is the most important part, I welcomed a roommate.

Karinna, my bunkmate for the trip, was the most wonderful and kind person. It was great to come home from a long day of adventure and have someone to share stories and laugh with at the end of the day.

These are the hotels where we stayed:

Hotel VIP Zurique, Lisbon, Portugal

We stayed here our first two nights. It’s located right in the heart of busy Lisbon. I arrived early and was unable to check in before 2 pm, but the front desk did offer to hold my bags while I solo explored the city.

The hotel is moderately sized, and the lobby is clean and kept up. Breakfast is included and is served on the second floor in the large dining hall.

My room was small – it could accommodate no more than two people – and had a sliding window that overlooked the city. The bathroom included towels, a hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner, and soap.

Ibis Porto Gaia, Porto, Portugal

This hotel was nuzzled right into the community of Vila Nova de Gaia, close to the heart of Porto.

We were greeted by the friendly hotel staff as soon as we walked into the lobby. To the left is the buffet area sorted with lots of different breakfast and beverage options.

The rooms are sleek and modern with two twin beds. As nice and clean as the rooms were, this was by far the smallest hotel room and bathroom we had throughout the trip. It would be quite cramped to try and fit even one more person into the room.

The one window could be cracked open for fresh air, along with the option for a black-out curtain, if needed, and a desk was available for work, charging phones, or holding your backpack and things.

Hotel Bardo Recoletos Coco, Salamanca, Spain

This charming hotel is located about a 30-minute walk from the center of town in a calm area outside of the city. So if you’re looking to come back to some peace and quiet, this place is the perfect getaway.

The ambiance of the hotel was upscale and offered a completely separate restaurant/dining area for breakfast.

The rooms were very spacious, clean, and cool. The bathrooms were very nice, with lots of room as well, including all the shower necessities. However, we were not expecting to have black garage-like balcony shades to block the sun from the window – once we got that up, we were able to enjoy the sunset from our room.

Melia Castilla, Madrid, Spain

This was by far the best stay of the trip. The hotel’s website calls it “An oasis of serenity and refinement in the center of Madrid.” And that description hits it right on the nail.

As you enter through the large revolving doors, you step into a large luxurious lobby with lots of comfortable seating options and a bar/lounge area. Exotic plants and custom lights decorate the space, which touches on traditional Spanish design. I immediately felt like a VIP guest.

After receiving the keys, I took some time to explore and found a wonderful array of amenities, including a restaurant/bar, pool and wellness center, buffet dining area, and gym.

The rooms are spacious, light, and open. The bathrooms offered various mirrors, a hair dryer, and all the shower necessities. The shower at this place caught everyone’s attention – it is a rainfall shower with all sorts of different mechanisms, like mist!

Bottom Line on a Contiki Tour

I do not think I would have found the opportunities to fit in as much activity and sightseeing if I had been traveling on my own. My fellow travelers on the Contiki tour were just as passionate about travel as I am. It was a refreshing experience to meet such fantastic, unique, like-minded people.

Topdeck Travel FAQs

Is topdeck owned by flight centre.

In a notable business deal that took place in 2014, Flight Centre, a renowned travel company, acquired Topdeck Travel.
