Hiya!

Welcome to the board.

The recommended amounts are listed in your Insight brochure ... you should check it out as it offers valuable information on touring.

I stumbled on your question quite by accident. The bulletin board is divided into categories. Anytime you want advice on anything, you'll get a better response if you post in the TRAVEL ADVICE section. Wink

Ciao!

Hi Alex,

further to Morgana's advice, you can also find the topic: Travel Tips behind the button on Insight's websites and this includes advice on:

  • TRIP TERMINOLOGY
  • HOTELS (Check-in, hotel meals, luggage handling)
  • GRATUITIES (Tour Directors, Drivers, Local Guides, Restaurants, Taxis)
  • COACHES
  • PRACTICAL POINTERS (currency, credit cards, passports, phone cards
  • HOTEL HINTS (voltage, single travellers)
  • FOR YOUR TRAVEL COMFORT (umbrellas, packing, clothing, jewellery, alarm clocks, footwear)
  • THE INSIGHT DIFFERENCE
  • LINKS (currency Exchange, Time and Date, Weather around the World)

This Bulletin Board also contains a wealth of archived tour advice and links to much of this are contained in the topic: Travel Advice, Tips & Checklist Collection that sits permanently at the top of the Travel Advice Forum.
