So your driver and the hotel porters can safely lift and transport your suitcase throughout your vacation, we strongly recommend that you test the weight of your baggage prior to travel. You should be able to lift and comfortably transport it for short distances.
What's most important to know is that the "carry-on bag" you plan to bring on the tour coach is not the same as the "carry-on" size you may be used to when flying. When touring, your "carry-on bag" is your go-to day bag and may be a soft-sided daypack, purse, backpack, tote bag, or the like.
Our coaches have large windows — to better enjoy the view, so know ahead of time that there is minimal space to store large items securely overhead or under the seats.
Because we value our guests' safety, small rolling suitcases or bags with telescopic handles are not permitted.
In order to guarantee a smooth trip, guests are not permitted to store an additional "carry-on" bag beneath the coach with the luggage.
Baggage allowances vary from airline to airline, and you should check with your chosen carrier for details prior to travel.
