The Ladies ONLY European Tour✨

U.S. passport holders do not need a visa for tourist visits of up to 90 days in France and Spain (Schengen Area) or up to 6 months in the UK. However, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. If you hold a passport from another country, please check with the respective embassies or consulates for specific visa requirements. We recommend verifying your passport\'s expiration date well in advance and ensuring you have at least two blank pages available for entry stamps.

September is one of the best months to visit all three cities! London typically sees temperatures between 55\u00b0F\u201368\u00b0F (13\u00b0C\u201320\u00b0C) with occasional light rain. Paris enjoys pleasant weather ranging from 55\u00b0F\u201372\u00b0F (13\u00b0C\u201322\u00b0C) with mostly sunny skies and the summer crowds thinning out. Madrid is warm and sunny with temperatures between 60\u00b0F\u201382\u00b0F (16\u00b0C\u201328\u00b0C) and very little rain. Overall, September offers comfortable, mild weather perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities.

We recommend packing layers, as mornings and evenings can be cool while afternoons are warm. Bring a light waterproof jacket or compact umbrella for London and Paris. Comfortable walking shoes are essential\u2014you\'ll be exploring cobblestone streets and historic sites daily. A dressier outfit is nice for group dinners and evening outings. Don\'t forget sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for Madrid\'s sunny days. A small crossbody bag or daypack is ideal for carrying essentials while sightseeing. We\'ll send a detailed packing checklist closer to the departure date.

This tour is designed with an easy, relaxed pace suitable for most fitness levels. While there is daily walking involved\u2014typically 2\u20134 miles per day on mostly flat terrain\u2014the itinerary includes plenty of rest breaks and leisure time. Some sites like Toledo and Versailles involve moderate walking on uneven surfaces. If you can comfortably walk for 30\u201345 minutes at a time, you\'ll enjoy this tour without difficulty. We always ensure there are options to sit and rest during guided tours.

While travel insurance is not mandatory, we strongly recommend purchasing a comprehensive travel insurance policy that covers trip cancellation, medical emergencies, lost luggage, and travel delays. Medical care abroad can be very expensive without insurance, and unexpected events can disrupt even the best-planned trips. We can recommend trusted travel insurance providers upon request. We suggest purchasing your policy shortly after booking to maximize your coverage window.

You\'ll need British Pounds (GBP) for London and Euros (EUR) for Paris and Madrid. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in all three cities, so you won\'t need to carry large amounts of cash. We recommend notifying your bank of your travel dates to avoid card blocks. ATMs are readily available throughout all three cities for cash withdrawals. A small amount of local currency is handy for tips, small purchases, and markets. Contactless payment is very common across Europe.

Yes! Every guest on this tour is guaranteed their own private single room at each hotel throughout the entire 12-day journey.
