Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and shops in major cities across all three countries. However, we suggest carrying a small amount of local currency for incidental expenses such as refreshments, small purchases, markets and tips. ATMs are readily available in cities and tourist areas, and your tour leader or local guide will be happy to advise on exchanging money or withdrawing cash during the trip.

We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.
