Know Before You Pack: What a "Carry-On" Bag Means on Guided Tour

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.
