A trip to the seven wonders of the world would take you on a whirlwind tour of seven countries, sprawled across four different continents. Of course, this experience of a lifetime doesn't come cheap. It would set you back some $13,600 (plus airfare and accommodation) if you book via Contiki—but on the bright side, you wouldn't have to feel guilty about throwing away money on rent while you're away.

Tour company Contiki announced it would pay the rent of any U.S. traveler between the ages of 18 and 35 who books Contiki tours to all seven wonders of the world. This represents savings of up to $2840, based on the national average for two months of rent (but if your rent costs less than that, you won't receive the extra money). Travelers who book the trip must provide proof of a rental agreement or evidence of past payments before the discount is applied.

Even if this trip is a little beyond your budget, it doesn't hurt to dream about the itinerary (or just plan a trip to one or two of the sites). The list of seven wonders includes: India's Taj Mahal, Mexico's Chichen Itza, Peru's Machu Picchu, Italy's Colosseum, Brazil's Christ the Redeemer statue, the Great Wall of China, and the ancient city of Petra, Jordan.

Each individual tour varies in length from six to 12 days. Naturally, the tours take visitors beyond the "wonders" themselves, which can be seen in just a day or two. On the India tour, for instance, travelers will experience the "Pink City" of Jaipur, the "City of Lakes" (Udaipur), the beaches of Goa, and the fast-paced city life of Mumbai. Visitors will even have the chance to go tiger-spotting in Ranthambore National Park, representing the perfect balance between city and nature.

If that sounds like a good deal, you can book the package by calling 1-866-266-8454 or emailing jennifer.helsper@contiki.com. For all other trips, you can book at Contiki.com.
