Get to Know Your Destinations
Ready for your Trip?
Continuing your journey, you’ll cross into France, a country that exudes elegance and charm.

Have You Considered?
With the changes in daily room maintenance due to Covid, many hotels have adjusted their housekeeping services. While you might not mind making your bed or wiping down the bathroom counter, having fresh towels daily can make a big difference in your comfort. When you check in, simply ask the front desk for daily towel replacements. Most hotels are happy to accommodate this request, ensuring you have a fresh set of towels each day without the need for full housekeeping services. This way, you can enjoy a clean and comfortable stay while adapting to the new norms of hotel hygiene.
Did You Know?
Respect Local Customs: Be aware of cultural norms, such as dress codes for religious sites and tipping practices. In Italy, for example, it’s customary to dress modestly when visiting churches.
A Tip To Prep For Your Trip
Keep your valuables secure, especially in crowded areas. Be vigilant in tourist hotspots and on public transportation to ensure a worry-free trip. Use a money belt or a secure inner pocket for important items like passports and wallets. Be particularly careful in busy areas like Oxford Street in London or at major tourist attractions. It’s also wise to keep a copy of important documents separate from the originals, and consider using the safe in your hotel room for valuables you don’t need to carry with you.
Our Tour Staff’s Recommendation
Ready to head out on your European adventure? Grab a book that pairs with your trip! Read “A Moveable Feast” by Ernest Hemingway. The book chronicles Hemingway’s first marriage to Hadley Richardson and his relationships with other cultural figures of the Lost Generation in interwar France.
