- Internal flights/cruise/ferry/yacht cost, all included, as per the itinerary.
- Local food of the destination and Indian food included as per itinerary.
- Don’t leave valuables in the open. Like money, your cellphone, kindle, tablet, and passport should also not be bandied around or left out in the open for everyone to see. Don’t let the false sense of security of traveling in a group get the better of you. Again, pickpockets are tricksters and will use the group for some sort of distraction and go in for the valuables. Let’s look at it like this: you don’t want to be stuck in a foreign country without your passport.
- Don’t act as if you were at home. Another thing to research is the etiquette and customs of the places you are visiting, and while it can be very tempting, don’t act as if you are in your own home when traveling Europe in a big group. What might be normal in India could be offensive in Europe. And please respect spiritual or holy places! Screaming, laughing, and joking with a big group in an underground tomb in Greece is frowned upon. That kind of behavior is frowned upon in most places. Oftentimes when people travel in big groups of friends and family, they forget where they are. Don’t be those people.
- Do use alternatives to cash. There are many alternatives to using cash such as travelers' checks, special travel cards, and even credit cards. A small amount of cash is always recommended for small unexpected expenses but keep the big purchases on plastic.
- Don’t flash money around. Europe is notorious for pickpockets and small acts of opportunistic crimes. While you may not be used to worrying about things like that, avoid flashing money around, or making it super obvious where your money or cell phones are kept — pockets are a no-no. While traveling Europe in a group is generally perceived as being safe, a crowd can also be an obvious target and sometimes makes it easier for someone to hustle past on the way out of a train and grab your wallet without you realizing it because you were all distracted. In general, when dealing with money there should be a level of vigilance — when drawing and exchanging money too, and avoid any ATMs or money exchanges that look suspicious.
