For This Trip You Will Need—

• Modest clothing for visiting the Vatican. Your shoulders or knees should be covered. A scarf or long-sleeved shirt is recommended.
• Comfortable walking shoes

• Lightweight jacket or sweater for cooler mornings and evenings. 
• One smart-casual outfit if you'd like to dress up a bit for dinners.
• Sunscreen and swimsuit - the Sorrento hotel has a nice pool.
• Bring what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping aids, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest.

Good Packing Habits—

• Pack a limited amount of comfortable, casual clothing that layer and coordinate. Your fellow travelers will not mind – or even notice – seeing you in the same clothing. 
• Bring only two pairs of everyday shoes: one pair of well-broken-in walking shoes, and a second pair that could do double-duty as a walking shoe or a slightly dressy shoe. 
• Pare down your beauty regimen to the bare minimum and always pack travel-sized toiletries.
• Pack medication in your carry-on and bring only as much as needed for the duration of your tour plus a few extra days as a precaution.

• It is best to travel as lightly as possible.  Most travelers regret when they have packed too much, especially on this tour due to train travel.
• Bring only one suitcase no larger than 24 - 26 inches high as measured from the FLOOR to the top of the retracted handle, plus one carry-on (purse or backpack).
• There is significant train travel on this tour. You must be able to get on and off of trains quickly and expediently and navigate train stations with your belongings without assistance. Trains do not wait long at stations. There is no time to search for a porter. Those carrying multiple bags or a very large/heavy bag will have extreme difficulty.
• You are responsible for managing your own belongings. Due to the congested and narrow streets of Italy, your coach will sometimes unload or load passengers and luggage some distance from the hotel/train entrance. 
• We expect you to take your belongings from the coach to your room and to bring it back to the coach on days we change hotels. We do not provide luggage pulls; they are not safe and are inconvenient. Steps exists at most hotel entrances.
• If you carry a purse, it should be worn across your body, hands-free.

The standards for health and hygiene in Italy are good. You can safely drink tap water unless specifically advised not to do, such as in a public restroom or trains. Bottled water can be purchased at grocers for considerably less Euro than from local shops.

• If you are bringing a cell phone, contact your cell phone service provider before departing about adding international calling and/or texting features.
• Learn how to make an international call BEFORE you leave. Check out the web site www.HowToCallAbroad.com. 

You may need to purchase a universal adapter which supports a wide variety of sockets/plugs. You should also check your electronic devices for voltage compatibility. Many countries operate on 220V or 230V, which differs from most of North America. Most of today's electronics (laptops, phone chargers etc.) are multi-voltage and will work worldwide automatically, without a transformer. Consult your owner's manual for further details.

Only you can determine the optimum amount of cash to take on tour. When budgeting for out-of-pocket expenses, there are several aspects to consider:  the number of meals you are responsible for, the amount of money you like to have on-hand for snacks and drinks, and your individual shopping interests and habits.

• Notify your credit card issuer that you will be traveling and provide dates of travel.
• Italy’s official currency is the Euro (EUR, €).
• ATMs are typically the best way of obtaining cash; they are found in most towns and cities. Euros can be withdrawn from any ATM. Use a debit card to avoid additional exchange rates.
• For larger purchases, use a credit card, which are widely accepted in most tourist areas. Many banks assess up to 3% transaction fee on all charges incurred abroad. Check with your credit card issuer.

• You are responsible for tipping wait-staff, porters or other individuals who provide a service to you at the hotel or other public locations.
• In Italian restaurants, tips are automatically added to the bill and must be visible on the menu. Normally, just round up the bill a few Euro if you were provided outstanding service. Tipping cab drivers is unusual, but appreciated.
• You may want to tip your WTT Tour Leader for an outstanding job. The amount is entirely a personal preference. If you'd like a guideline, consider $8-$10 per day. 

Travelers are required to have a valid passport. Most countries require your passport to be valid a minimum of six months after your return home date, and have at least two consecutive blank pages.
