Please review the following before committing to this trip!
You must be able to carry your own luggage. You are responsible for your luggage and buses are not always able to pull right up to our hotels. Keep this in mind when trying to decide how many pairs of shoes to bring!
You should be in good physical shape. We will do a lot of walking, much of it outside. Somedays we may cover two to three miles at a decent pace.
You must be flexible! This is Europe, things may close without notice, a protest could spring up without warning. But, it’s not all negative, great things come up unexpectedly as well. Being flexible is the key for happy travels!
Questions? Please call 404.717.2460 or email mtn@thecatholictraveler.com to discuss!
