At Voyista, we strive to provide affordable, end-to-end travel experiences for young people. However, there is one aspect of our trips that may be disappointing to some: the age limit for booking with us is 18.
The reason for this is primarily because of the age restrictions set by our partner hostels. The majority of hostels that we work with have a minimum age requirement of 18, and as a company, we must abide by these rules in order to continue offering our customers the best accommodations possible.
It is important to note that some of our competitors have more strict age limits. For example, EF Ultimate Break and Contiki have age limits of 18-35, meaning that older travelers are not able to participate in their trips. We understand that many older travelers still want to experience the excitement and adventure of traveling with a group of like-minded individuals, and we believe that they should have the opportunity to do so--so there is no upper age limit for our trips.. That's why we strive to offer a wide range of travel options that cater to a diverse group of travelers, including older adults.
EF Ultimate Break and Contiki are both well-known companies that offer group travel experiences for young adults. However, reviews from past customers have noted that these trips can be heavily focused on partying and have a younger age demographic, with many teenagers in attendance.
This is not to say that these companies don't offer great travel experiences, but it's important for potential customers to be aware of the type of trip they are signing up for. If you are looking for a more low-key, culturally immersive experience, it might be best to look for a different type of travel company.
At Voyista, we understand that not all travelers are looking for the same type of experience, and we strive to offer a wide range of options that cater to a diverse group of travelers. While we do offer hostels that focus on creating a social atmosphere, we also offer other types of accommodation and we also focus on creating travel experiences that are culturally immersive and affordable, without discriminating to certain age groups.

In conclusion, we understand that the age limit of 18 may be a disappointment for some of our customers, but it is a necessary requirement set by our partner hostels. Additionally, it is important to note that many of our competitors have more strict age limits. We are committed to providing travelers of all ages with the best possible travel experiences and will continue to look for new accommodations that can accommodate a wider range of ages.
