• Select "Yes, I want to share a room" and WTT will assign you a roommate when Final Travel Instructions are sent.

• Select "No, I do not wish to share a room" if you want to have your own room. Additional costs apply.

• All shared rooms have 2 beds
• All shared rooms are non-smoking
• No special requests about your roommate can be accommodated
• See "Frequently Asked Questions" TAB for more details

• 50% Easy
• 50% Moderate (many walking tours, long drives, multiple hotel changes)

Each day of the itinerary lists the included meals for that day (B,L,D,O). When a meal is not included, the WTT Tour Leader will have suggestions for where to eat.

You do not have to dine alone unless it is your personal choice. You'll most likely be dining with new acquaintances you've made, or you can join the Tour Leader.

Dietary Restrictions on International Tours: WTT has limited to no control over food selections or variety from meal-to-meal, especially at hotels. While we do our best to accommodate dietary requests and ensure variety of options, we cannot guarantee either.

Daytime temperatures are likely to be in the low to mid-70s but can possibly spike into the 80s at this time of year. Brief rainfall is common year-round. We suggest you monitor weather apps before you depart for the most current information.

For this Tour You May Want—

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Casual clothing that can be layered
• Smart-casual wear if you'd like to dress up a bit for dinners.
• Fleece jacket or sweater for cool mornings or the unusually brisk day
• Rain jacket
• Refillable water bottle
• Hat or visor, sunglasses, sunscreen
• Swimsuit — 2 hotels have saunas
• Eye Mask — Long days at this latitude can impact sleep

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, the requirement that all travelers be able to manage their own belongings without assistance and the restrictions imposed by other forms of transportation such as ferries.

• It is best to travel as lightly as possible.  Most travelers regret when they have packed too much.
• You may bring one suitcase plus a carry-on bag.
• We recommend your suitcase be no larger than 26 inches high as measured from the FLOOR to the top of the retracted handle to make it easy for you to handle yourself.
• You are responsible for managing your own belongings.  We expect you to take your belongings from the coach to your room and to bring them back to 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.

• You should understand what your current cell phone plan includes in terms of data and minutes. Some, like certain T-Mobile plans, include an international package.
• Contact your cell phone service provider before departing about adding an international calling plan. Most carriers have flat daily rates which will allow your US-based phone to be functional upon arrival in a foreign country.
• Managing data while traveling internationally is important. Using WiFi when available and communicating through apps like What's App help you manage data usage while traveling.
• Learn how to make an international call BEFORE you leave. Consult your cell provider and check out the website www.HowtoCallAbroad.com.

• The official currency for all countries on this tour is the Euro (€).
• ATMs are typically the best way of obtaining local currency; they are found in most airports and tourist destinations. ATMS of major banks often give much better exchange rates than currency-exchange kiosks. If using a debit card, it is good practice to limit the amount of cash available in the account and simply transfer money from another account if you need more at any point on tour. Always use caution when withdrawing money.
• Many travelers feel more comfortable having local currency before they depart for the tour. You can order local currency from your bank or AAA.
• Notify your credit card issuer that you will be traveling and provide dates of travel.
• Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted in the major towns, but in smaller towns you may find cash is preferred. Many cards charge a foreign transaction fee, so you will want to investigate your card of choice as there are many that do not impose these fees and are better suited for international travel.
• If a merchant gives you the choice between making your transaction in USD ($) or the local currency, always choose the local currency, to avoid dynamic currency conversion which includes a conversion fee.

• You are responsible for Tipping the English Speaking Guides who travel with the group. (Budget for Baltic + Finnish guides: €100 total)
• We suggest you read up on tipping culture in the various places you will be visiting so you can show your appreciation for any personal service provided with an appropriate gratuity.
• Tipping is not ingrained in the Baltic or Finnish culture but is appreciated nonetheless. For good service at a restaurant, consider leaving no more than 10%.
• 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.
