Your Responsibilities as a Solo Traveler
As a solo traveler you are responsible for yourself, your possessions, your physical fitness, and all other aspects related to participation in the WTT tour you have chosen. Be sure to read the itinerary closely to better understand the physical requirements necessary for the tour.

WTT tours are not suitable for anyone whose mobility is challenged or compromised. If you struggle with walking, standing or negotiating stairs or if you are in doubt as to your ability to meet the physical activity requirements, you should not sign up for this trip.

Each day of the itinerary lists the included meals for that day. 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 restrictions and ensure variety of options, we cannot guarantee either.

In general the temperature, rainfall and humidity levels vary based on the time of the year. There is always a chance of rain in London.

For This Trip You May Want—

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Clothing that easily layers for warmth
• 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 no larger than 33 inches on the longest side, plus 1 carry-on, which will make it easier to manage your belongings, plus a smaller bag to use as a carry-on
• The Eurostar train restricts luggage size to 85 cm (33.46 inches) at its widest point. You MUST be able to lift and carry your own luggage on the train.
• 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.
• 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.

• England's official currency is the Pound (GBP). The official currency used in France is the Euro (EU).
• ATMs are found in most cities and are typically the best way of obtaining cash. Be judicious about where you use your debit card to minimize fees on cash withdrawals.  ATMS of major banks will often give much better exchange rates than currency-exchange kiosks.
• Many travelers feel more comfortable obtaining local currency before they depart the US. 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 and France, 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.

• You are responsible for tipping transfer drivers, wait staff, porters, hotel housekeeping and others who provide a service to you.
• 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.
• In Paris, service is already factored into any restaurant price. However, it's customary to leave something small. If you receive assistance translating a menu or have special requests for the kitchen, consider tipping more.
• 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 $9-$12 per day.
