If your kids are finally old enough to start exploring the world on their own—but you’re not quite able to sleep at night thinking of them backpacking across Europe solo—Contiki is your new best friend. It’s the perfect blend of freedom for them and peace of mind for you.

Contiki offers guided group trips for 18–35-year-olds, which means your young adult gets to see the world with expert guides, built-in friends, and a seriously organized plan. No sketchy hostels, no getting lost on foreign train systems, no “Mom, we need help” calls from across the ocean.

Contiki handles everything from transportation and accommodations to local experiences, so travelers can focus on actually enjoying the trip (instead of panicking over logistics). Plus, Contiki has been doing this for over 60 years, so they know how to make travel feel adventurous and be safe at the same time.

What parents love most? The balance. Your young adult gets independence—they can choose activities, explore new cities, and meet people from all over the world—but they also have a reliable structure and support system behind them 24/7.

So if your kid’s been dreaming about seeing the Eiffel Tower or zip-lining in Costa Rica, but you’re worried about them doing it alone, Contiki gives them the thrill of travel, and gives you freedom to sleep through the night, knowing they’re in trusted hands.
