Before My Tour Departs

• How much luggage can I bring?
  1. Due to limited space on the motor coach, you are requested to bring one suitcase per person with the dimensions of 30in. x 18in. x 10in. (76cm x 46cm x 25cm) and weight not exceeding 50 lbs (23kg). You can also bring one piece of hand luggage, provided it is small enough to take on the coach and does not have telescope handles.
• Is baggage handling provided?
  1. Yes, baggage handling is provided at no extra charge. One suitcase per person will be brought to your hotel room.
• How do I change my currency?
  1. Currency can be exchanged at airports or banks. Most bank machines (ATMs) throughout Europe and many parts of the world accept debit cards.
• Are tips are included?
  1. Trafalgar Tours has pre-paid certain tips and gratuities for you such as all baggage handling at hotels and ports. Tips to restaurant staff for meals are also included in the price of your tour.

     Tips are customarily given to your Tour Director, Driver and Local Guides at your discretion. The recommended amounts are: Tour Directors US$4 per day, Drivers US$2.50 per day and Local Guides US$1 per day.

• Can I bring a wheelchair on tour?
  1. Yes, as long as it is fully collapsible, non-motorised and you are travelling with an able-bodied companion capable of pushing you in it. Please advise us when booking if you plan to bring a wheelchair.
• What type of outfits do I pack and will I need formal attire?
  1. This will depend on your personal preferences, where you are travelling, and on the time of year. It is advisable to bring at least one ‘smart’ outfit for special evenings or highlight dinners. Please note that some churches/places of worship require covered shoulders and in some cases, knee length shorts/skirts. Items that are casual and lightweight, requiring little or no ironing are recommended.
• What type of weather can I expect?
  1. Weather varies in different parts of the world, therefore always check the weather forecast before travel. This will also help you determine what to bring with you. For local weather conditions go to www.weather.com
• Do I need any vaccinations?
  1. Please see your travel agent or doctor to find out which vaccinations are required. If you are taking medication or suffer from any form of illness, be sure to have an adequate supply of medicines before departing on your tour.
