Traveling by Bus

Staying In Touch
- Each traveler will receive a final packet we suggest you print up 2 copies. (One for you & one for your family at home)

- A Tour Guide will meet you at the airport (if you are flying) or at the hotel if you are traveling by bus. The tour guide will remain with the group until you are safely returned to your departure point.
Dress Code
- Dress is casual and comfortable. It is a vacation, relax and enjoy.
- Bring comfortable walking shoes.
- Most of the hotels we use have a pool or a Jacuzzi, bring a bathing suit with you.
Packing and Carry-on (if you are flying)
- Pack light! People normally do not use more than 60% of what they pack
- Pack your medicine, valuables, and one day’s change of clothes in a carry-on just in case your luggage does not arrive on time.
- Liquids should be in your checked luggage, not in your carry-on. If you choose to have your liquids in your carry-on, it should be less than 3 ounces and should be placed in a one quart-size plastic zip bag (one bag per person)
- You may visit the Transportation Security Administration website to get an itemization of everything you can think of and identifies if the item can be in the carry-on and or checked luggage
Packing and Carry-on (if you are traveling by bus)
- Pack your medicine and valuables, in a small bag that you keep with you on the bus.
Safety
- Safety is our priority. As we tour each site, every passenger is always accounted for: there is always a count of passengers before and after touring each site. Due to strict bus regulations all passengers MUST adhere to the time frames in returning from tours to buses. Bus drivers & guides will NOT be able to wait for late passengers which may result in being left behind. It will be the passenger’s expense to catch up to group if they are late.
Hotels
- We use solely 4 and 5 star hotels.
Lots of Walking?
- Even though we have our own private bus, some sites do require some walking. Bring comfortable shoes (dress shoes are not necessary at all). We suggest you start walking at least 2 months before you’re trip so your ready to tour! A wheelchair can be provided if you are traveling with a companion who is able to push you. Please remember that some sites are unavailable by wheelchair.
Traveling Alone
- If you are traveling alone, we will room you with another nice passenger so that you don’t have to pay the extra single room supplement. If you want your own private room, the single supplement fee will apply.
