PLANNING A TRIP TO CANADA ?

Entry Requirement: To enter Canada (or the U.S. on the tour extension), it is essential for both U.S. and Canadian citizens to hold a valid passport with an expiration date extending at least six months beyond the reentry date. Non-U.S. or Canadian citizens should contact the consulate of their destination country to ascertain specific entry requirements. U.S. citizens are required to have valid government-issued identification for air travel within the United States. Starting May 7, 2025, state-issued IDs or driver's licenses for air travel must meet Real ID requirements. Real ID-compliant versions will display a yellow or black star, a white star inside a yellow or black circle, or a white star inside a bear in the top right-hand corner. Further information can be found at dhs.gov. Similarly, Canadian citizens must have valid government-issued identification for air travel within Canada.

Baggage: It's crucial to note that each traveler is limited to one checked bag and one carry-on bag due to limited storage space on motor coaches and other modes of transportation, including train connections or flights, that are part of the tour. For specific information regarding baggage size and weight restrictions, including details about on-tour flights and round-trip flights to and from the tour, kindly reach out to your airline(s) directly. Please be aware that the baggage limits for the included on-tour flights may be more stringent. Additionally, some airlines may impose extra charges if you opt to check baggage or exceed size and weight limitations. It is your responsibility to cover any baggage fees incurred on all flights. To facilitate smooth travel, it is advisable to label your baggage and keep valuable items, medication, and important documents in your carry-on bag.

Packing Tips: Packing tip: It's recommended to pack lightweight and loose-fitting clothing that can be layered easily to accommodate fluctuating temperatures. Remember to include a light jacket or rainwear for unpredictable weather conditions. For spring and fall departures, enhance your comfort during outdoor sightseeing by bringing along a warm coat, hat, and gloves. Opt for materials other than cotton whenever feasible, as it is not the most effective insulator. When it comes to sightseeing, a sturdy pair of walking shoes or sneakers is advisable. If you intend to dine at upscale restaurants or attend special performances, consider packing dressier attire for such occasions.

Health: Before your departure, it's crucial to consult with your doctor or healthcare provider at least 60 days in advance to stay abreast of the latest updates and entry requirements. Additional information can also be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website at cdc.gov. Exercise caution during the summer months regarding sun exposure and heat, taking necessary precautions to safeguard yourself. If you rely on daily medication, ensure you have an ample supply for the entire duration of the tour, considering potential delays. For those with dietary restrictions or food allergies, please inform Voyages Hub at least 30 days before departure by updating your traveler information in your account. If you need to make updates closer to your departure date, kindly contact our Customer Experience Team..

Cuisine: The culinary landscape in Canada exhibits numerous resemblances to British cuisine, and Americans will recognize several familiar elements as well. While in Canada, it's recommended to explore local favorites like butter tarts, poutine, and dishes infused with maple syrup.

Health and Insurance: Consider acquiring travel insurance to safeguard against unforeseen medical expenses. Ensure you obtain any essential vaccinations as advised by your healthcare provider.

Currency: The official currency in Canada is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). It's recommended to carry some cash, but credit cards are widely acknowledged.
