      Many of our accommodations offer laundry facilities for a small fee, including detergent. If you'd like to save, you can bring your own laundry powder. If your accommodation doesn't have laundry service, your Trip Manager will be happy to help you find a local laundrette.

      Regarding walking distances, this tour involves a moderate amount of walking during sightseeing and optional activities, but exact mileage can vary day to day. We recommend bringing comfortable shoes for exploring cities and attractions.
