  • R

    Richard

    Asked on May 6th, 2026

    Can our carryon bag be 19″long x 13 inches high x6 inches wide? We have a friend who just arrived home from one of your larger shorter tours and said there were no size requirements for their carryon. I read somewhere that we are a group of 12. Does that have different size requirements for carryons?

    Tour Details
    • CIE ToursOperator•Written May 2026

      On guided coach tours, you are permitted one piece of luggage and one carry-on bag per person. Luggage should not exceed 30 x 20 x 10 inches and weight should be under 50 lbs.; carry-on must be soft sided, without wheels, and must be small enough to fit under the coach seat. Porterage between the coach and your hotel room for one piece of luggage per person is included in the cost of all coach tours and these bags will be stored under the coach during transit. Travelers are responsible for transporting their carry-on bag between the coach and hotel each day. Self-drive clients need to consider the limited trunk capacity, and that soft-sided luggage is easier to stow in the car. Airlines have their own regulations, and some carriers charge for checked baggage.
