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.

In general the temperature, rainfall and humidity levels vary based on the time of the year. We suggest you monitor weather apps before you depart for the most current information. 

For This Trip You’ll Need—

• As part of this tour, we experience an evening of dinner and a concert where you will want to dress up.
• Comfortable walking shoes

• Lightweight jacket or sweater for cooler mornings and evenings. 
• Swimsuit, sunscreen & cover-up — Budapest has many thermal baths

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.

We will be traveling by train, boat, and coach on this tour. Luggage restrictions are driven by the physical space limitations of the transportation we use and the requirement that all travelers be able to manage their own belongings.

• It is best to travel as lightly as possible. Most travelers regret when they have packed too much.
• You may bring one suitcase plus 1 carry-on. For ease of handling, we recommend your bag be no larger than 26 inches. This is the medium piece of luggage in a three piece set.
• You are responsible for managing your own belongings. You must be able to get on and off trains and boats with your belongings without assistance. You will not have time to search for a porter. Your luggage will most likely be stored overhead on the train to Vienna and on the boat to Bratislava.  Be sure you can lift and manage your luggage without assistance.

• 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 web site www.HowtoCallAbroad.com.

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.
• Prague’s official currency is the Czech Koruna, Austria's official currency is the Euro, and Budapest’s official currency is the Forints. You can access the different currencies thru currency exchange stations and ATMs.
• Debit cards can be useful for cash advances. ATMs are typically the best way of obtaining cash as they are found in most airports and big cities and tourist areas. However, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work overseas. Some foreign countries limit the amount that can be withdrawn daily. You must know your PIN number for your debit card to use ATMs.  Always use caution when withdrawing money.
• Exchange $100 or so into local local currency so you have cash upon arrival.

• 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.
• There are tipping similarities in all cities.  Restaurants typically include a service charge, however if you have great service a 10% tip is appreciated. Hotels typically include a service charge as well, but a tip of EUR1 or 2 (or equivalent) per bag is appreciated and EUR15 (or equivalent) is appropriate if you receive excellent concierge service. If you visit a spa in any of these cities, plan for a 5-10% tip.
• It is typical to tip a taxi driver 10% in Vienna and Budapest but not in Prague. In Prague you would only tip that amount on longer journeys. Instead consider rounding the bill up to the nearest significant amount.
• 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.
