For This Trip You May Want—

• Clothing that easily layers
• One warmer sweater or fleece for cool evenings
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Refillable water bottle
• Sunscreen and sunglasses and/or a hat
• Appropriate outerwear for possible inclement weather, like a rain jacket

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 what you need to get a good night's sleep, such as ear plugs, white noise generator, sleeping pills, etc. Unfamiliar noises of all types can disrupt your rest.
• 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 pack only as much as needed for the duration of your tour plus a few extra days as a precaution.

On every WTT tour, our policies regarding luggage restrictions are driven by the physical space limitations of the vehicles we use and the requirement that all travelers be able to manage their own belongings without assistance.

• It is best to travel as lightly as possible.  Most travelers regret when they have packed too much.
• You may bring one suitcase plus small shoulder bag/day pack/purse. Your suitcase should be a size you can manage on your own. Be sure to check your airline luggage policies.
  
• You are responsible for managing your own belongings.  We expect you to take your belongings to and from the coach on days we change hotels. We do not provide luggage pulls; they are not safe and are inconvenient.
• Steps exist at most hotel entrances. On occasion the coach must unload passengers and luggage some distance from the hotel entrance.

• Your US cell phone will work in Canada but some cell providers charge roaming fees. Be sure to check with your cell provider before leaving home to see what plans they may offer to reduce the cost of using your phone outside the US. Some providers offer Canada-only plans at reasonable rates.
• When calling a Canadian number from your US cellphone, you will need to dial +1 before the area code.

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, your individual shopping interests and habits, and money for tipping.

• Canada’s official currency is the Canadian Dollar (CAD).
• ATMs are typically the best way of obtaining cash; they are found in most towns and cities. Canadian dollars can be withdrawn from any ATM. Use a debit card to avoid additional exchange fees.
• Many places accept US dollars, however expect your change to be in CAD. It is better to exchange money at an official money exchange where you get a better rate than what local merchants provide.
• Notify your credit card issuer that you will be traveling and provide dates of travel. Credit cards are widely accepted in Canada.

All tips to local guides during your tour will be paid on your behalf.

• You are responsible for tipping waitstaff, porters, or other individuals who provide a service to you at the hotel, or other public locations.
• Canada has tipping customs similar to those in the US.
• 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.
