6 Tour-Like-A-Pro Tips

Follow Instructions
Daily schedules for the next day's activities are posted in the hotel lobby.
TIP: Look for this in the lobby the night before (or morning of) the first tour day, and double-check the time of the 1st meeting, it may have changed.
TIP: Take a picture of this every night and refer to it as needed.

Bring Earbuds
Touring includes a lot of walking tours with remote listening devices with wired ear buds.
​
TIP: Bring wireless earbuds (we used LG Tones) that allow you to connect cord free - and keep your transmitter in a bag and out of sight instead of hanging around your neck.

Become Acquainted
Get to know your tour members. We had so much fun getting to know and spending time with our tour mates.
TIP: We found the diversity of our group made the tour more interesting because we had so many perspectives.
TIP: Be gregarious - you only live once. We made forever friends on this trip.

Make Reservations
If you anticipate eating out for dinner don't forget to make a reservation. It will get you a better table and keep you off long wait lists.
​
TIP: Use Google, Open Table or direct websites to make your reservations. We found we could make same day reservations at most restaurants.

Take Time to Relax
Not every minute of free time needs to be spent sightseeing. Sometimes the best moments of the day are spent just enjoying your surroundings.
TIP: Find a bistro and grab an outside table with sidewalk and street views. Find one that is busy with ongoing passersby and you will find yourself immersed in the ambience.

Share a Ride
Save a few bucks and share a taxi to the airport with tour members that have a similar departure time.
