Luggage Guidelines
Travel lightly, as most travelers regret overpacking. You may bring one medium-sized luggage plus one personal item (i.e., backpack or purse). All airlines enforce their own baggage policies. You are responsible for any baggage fees. Be prepared to handle your own luggage everywhere you go. Our main source of transportation will be in a private car, but you will still need to manage your luggage at various stops. There is limited space in the vehicle for large loads of luggage.
Fitness
Suitable for travelers who enjoy light physical activities. This tour involves some walking, but mostly on flat terrain and at a leisurely pace. Approx. Walking Distance: 1-2 miles per day. Examples: City tours with occasional short walks, museum visits, gentle nature walks.
Health Standards
Spain has excellent health and hygiene standards. No specific vaccinations are required, but ensure routine vaccinations are up-to-date.
Staying Connected
The tour guide will have one portable WiFi available for group use. Contact your cell phone provider about international plans, as most carriers offer flat daily rates. Manage data usage by using WiFi and communication apps like WhatsApp. Learn how to make international calls before you leave.
Adapters and Voltage
Purchase a universal adapter that supports various sockets/plugs. Verify your electronic devices' voltage requirements, as Spain operates on 230V. Most modern electronics are multi-voltage; consult your owner's manual for details.
Cash and Cards
Budget for meals, snacks, drinks, shopping, and tips. Carry some cash for splitting bills and smaller purchases. Notify your credit card issuer about your travel dates. Use ATMs for cash, but be cautious as foreign countries may limit daily withdrawals. Know your PIN for both debit and credit cards. Credit cards are widely accepted, but be aware of foreign transaction fees. Choose local currency for transactions to avoid conversion fees.
Currency
Spain uses the Euro (EUR).
Tipping
You are responsible for tipping waitstaff, porters, or other service providers at hotels or public locations. Tipping is not mandatory in Spain, but a tip of around 10% for exceptional service is appreciated. Consider tipping your SueQ Travel Tour Leader $8-$10 per day for outstanding service, but this is entirely a personal preference.
Payment Information:
50% down payment due at the time of booking
Final payment due 90 days before travel.
Monthly payments can be set up.
If you have signed up for the trip and it is confirmed (meaning, we have the minimum number of travelers to go), you will be responsible for the entire tour amount even if you cancel.
This is part of the reason why travel insurance is so highly recommended!
