Travel Documents

Ensure you have a valid passport. Most countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months after your return date and have at least two consecutive blank pages. US and Canadian citizens do not require a visa for short stays in the UK. Detailed information on travel requirements will be provided after final payment.

Air Travel Arrangements

Once the trip is confirmed, we will notify travelers. You will need to book flights for a specific arrival day and time, which we can assist with if needed.

Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is not included in the tour cost. It is your responsibility to choose the amount and type of coverage needed to recoup your travel investment in case of cancellation, inability to complete the tour, or operational issues. Refer to SueQ Travel Terms & Conditions for details on payment procedures if the tour cannot operate. SueQ Travel is not licensed to sell travel insurance. Highly recommended providers include Allianz Travel Insurance and TravelGuard.

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, and you are responsible for any excess baggage fees. Be prepared to handle your own luggage everywhere you go. While our main source of transportation will be a private car, there may be situations where we need to use public transportation, such as the busy London Underground.

Fitness

Suitable for travelers who enjoy moderate physical activities. This tour involves regular walking, possibly including some uneven terrain or stairs. Approx. Walking Distance: 2-4 miles per day. Examples: Walking tours, visits to multiple attractions, short hikes.

Health Standards

The UK 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 a portable WiFi unit available for travelers to connect to. Accommodations will also include WiFi. 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 the UK 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

The UK uses the British Pound (GBP).

Tipping

You are responsible for tipping waitstaff, porters, or other service providers at hotels or public locations. Tipping is not mandatory in the UK, 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.
