Travel Advice….
We advise our travelers to:
Be proactive in terms of personal safety -leave the expensive clothes and jewelry at home, always travel in a group, choose well-lit streets and to be aware of their surroundings and other people at all times. 
Be on time -don’t make the group wait on you. Bus departure times are arranged to make tour times and meal resevations. BE ON TIME
Keep all possessions in a safe place Travelers are responsible for their possessions. Valuables should never be left behind in the hotel or on a bus seat. Personal belongings should always be kept within sight. Also, popular tourist areas attract pickpockets. Keep money in travel pouches that can be worn under clothes.

Upon arrival, the Tour Director will give all travelers a wristband with the emergency number printed on it and students should wear it for the duration of the tour.
