• All shared rooms have 2 beds
• All shared rooms are non-smoking
• No special requests about your roommate can be accommodated

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.

During August, the weather in Great Britain is usually milder than in most of the U.S.  Based on historical weather data, temperatures may range from the low 50s to the high 70s. Days can shift quickly between sunshine and light rain showers, so please pack accordingly. We suggest you monitor weather apps closer to your tour departure date for the most current information.

For This Trip You May Want—

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Clothing that easily layers for variable conditions
• Lightweight rain jacket
• Smart-casual wear if you'd like to dress up a bit for dinners

Good Packing Habits—

• 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.
• 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 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 trains.

• 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. That means we expect you to take your belongings from the coach to your room and to bring it back to the coach on the day we change hotels. We do not provide luggage pulls; they are not safe and are inconvenient.

Only you can determine your need to stay in contact while traveling.

• 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.

Only you can determine the amount of cash you will need on tour. Be sure to keep cash on hand for sharing restaurant tabs, cabs, tips, and smaller purchases. More and more, restaurants are no longer allowing groups to split the bill. Therefore, you might want to have cash-on-hand for meals on your own when dining with others in the group.

• England's official currency is the Pound (GBP).
• Automatic teller machines (ATMs) are found in most cities and are typically the best way of obtaining cash. You must know your PIN number.
• 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 throughout England, although many cards charge a foreign transaction fee. Be sure to investigate your card of choice as there are many credit cards that impose no foreign transaction fees and are therefore 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.

All tips to local guides who join the tour to lead individual walks, as well as drivers, will be paid on your behalf.

• You are responsible for Tipping the In-Country guide who travels with the group (suggest $35-$50).
  
• 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.
• In London, most restaurants and pubs will include a service charge on the bill. If there is no service charge, you should tip for good service. An appropriate amount would be 10-15 percent of the total. It is polite to round up your taxi fare to the nearest pound. If you receive excellent service at a hotel, a small tip is 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.
