      Once you meet your Tour Director, you don't have to handle your suitcase for the rest of your journey! At every hotel, your primary suitcase is delivered to your bedroom door and collected before departure and any gratuities for the bell staff are included in the cost of your tour. Remember, on guided tours, you are permitted only one piece of luggage and one carry-on bag per person. You are responsible for transporting your carry-on bag between the vehicle and hotel each day.
