  Well contiki tours have the age bracket of 18-30 so people won’t really be younger than you, but I am sure that won’t be much of a problem, age isn’t a major factor when making friends on the tour, it will not be like high school with all the judgement involved, in other words, you will be fine!

  Hey Ellie,
  Im also 18 and doing a contiki in June ..
  The average age seems to be about 24 , but i dont see that the age bracket should be much of a problem :))

  It depends on you!! I read that review from the parent as well and I think that that kid wasn’t really making any effort at all and probably would have had the same experience if he was 25. I’ve been on contikis with 18 year olds in the past and they have been fine and had just as big of a blast as the rest of us!!!! :D but yes you probably will be on of the youngest!

  Thanks guys, your comments have helped!
  Brigette, that makes me feel better that there are other 18 year olds going on tours :) what tour are you doing?
  Jen au, I think you’re right. I was worried after reading the dad’s review, but like you said, it was probably more to do with the fact that the son wasn’t making an effort etc.!

  Heya, I went on the Greek Island Hopping tour 4 days after I turned 18. I had the best time, and everyone looked out for me. I was the baby of the group considering the next eldest was 19 and my roomie especially made sure I did my first shots and all the things you should be doing :) I definitely recommend doing it while you’re 18 regardless of the fact that you will most likely be the youngest. In fact I’ve already booked my next tour for while I’ll be 18 as well

  No one really cares about someone’s age on tour as long as you make an effort to get to know everyone in your group everyone you will have a wonderful time. If you don’t drink still make the effort to go out… Everyone always looks out for each other on their nights out..

  Well have fun Brigette, I’m excited too and I hav’nt even booked mine yet haha but I really can’t wait!
  Kez-ma-nez, that makes me so much better, I’m turning 18 tomorrow, so I’ll be an older 18 when I go :)
  Explorer 1307236, that’s also good, I’m hoping that there will be a couple of people my age. I’m sure it won’t be bad if there isn’t though. I really can’t wait!!
