On A Field Trip Tour

Can I use my electrical appliances?
Electrical currents vary in Britain, on the continent of Europe and also in different countries throughout the world. Some newer appliances have dual voltage, but if not, we suggest you carry a converter for your electric shaver, traveling iron and other small appliances to prevent damage. Additionally, plugs/outlets differ everywhere, so you’ll need a universal electrical travel adaptor before you go in order to use your appliance.

Must I know the native languages of the countries I am visiting?
Whilst it is a nice gesture to great local people in their native language, it is not essential as your Tour Director will normally be able to assist you.

Can I have laundry done?
Most hotels do offer laundry service, and in some cities Laundromats are also available. However, it is a good idea to try and pack enough clothing without having to do laundry, as it can sometimes be costly and/or inconvenient.

How can I keep in touch with family and friends?
Almost all hotels will add a service charge to the cost of any phone calls you make from your room. This charge can be high, especially for international calls. It is always cheaper to use public telephones (pay phones) or an international calling service. Calling cards are great for a set amount of phone time - no change required and no big bills.

What if I become ill on tour and am unable to continue?
Your Group Leader and SAT Staff will provide you with assistance in times of emergencies.

What if I arrive late and miss a feature on the tour?
We regret that no refunds can be made for absences from a tour, including but not limited to, missed meals or sightseeing.

Can I drink the water in the countries I will visit on my tour?
In Britain, Western Europe and Scandinavia, the answer is ‘yes’. For other countries visited you will be guided by your Tour Director.

Is smoking allowed on the coach?
There is a no smoking policy whilst on board the coach. However, we make plenty of comfort stops, allowing you ample opportunity to smoke if you wish, stretch your legs, take a scenic snapshot or just time to enjoy a cup of coffee.
