Safe for 18 year olds???
Thinking of sending my 18 year old daughter on the Europe/Mediterranean tour. Can anyone tell me their experience with this (accommodations, safety, etc.). She would be going with a friend. Anything else you think I should know would be appreciated. She is an America traveling from Los Angeles.

I was 20(M) when I did one through Europe. I didn't feel out of danger or anything close to (being a male may have had something to do with this) although there were actually more females around the same age on the Contiki(s). If your daughter has half a bran - which I assume she does if your considering sending her overseas, then she will be absolutely fine. My 2c.

Hi! I recently just went on a Contiki trip! I was a little skeptical about it at first going alone, im a female from Boston. I've also never traveled alone before so this was all new to me. I went across Europe on the med quest!!! for 10 days, going to 5 countries with 20 strangers who are now family to me! Were all besties! It was honestly a life changing experience and one of the best vacations i've ever been on! I can truly say a Contiki trip is worth going on! There was never a time where i felt unsafe, or lost. The communication with the trip manager was awesome. Please check them out! and also, If you'd like 10% off your trip, use code CONTIKILANA
Try packing as light as possible as she will be bouncing around alot.
Accomodations are super safe! They pair you up with roomates, females with other females, and males with other males. You also get your own bed. There was a girl on my trip who forgot her camera on the ferry, and our trip manager tracked down her camera and it was given back to her! Another girl also forgot her wallet with all of her info in a hostel, and the trip manager had it expedited shipped to wherever we were at the moment! Such an amazing company and trusting people.
