We strongly recommend bringing a backpack or duffel bag, as suitcases can be cumbersome and difficult to store in buses, under seats, etc..

Keep in mind that you will normally have to carry your own luggage on and off buses . vehicles and up and down hotel staircases.

Suitcases with wheels may not work well on dirt or cobblestone roads.

Travelers arrive from all over the world to begin our tours and it is not possible to include international airfare in our prices.

We would be happy to help you arrange flights. Just ask for an air quote when making your booking.

We always recommend packing as light as possible however the specific requirements for your tour will vary widely depending on where and when you are traveling.

Requirements for travel visas vary widely depending on your nationality and your destination. Yes we are able to arrange visas on your behalf, as long as you notify us prior.
