Storage Facilities
For safety reasons, you're limited to 14kg (31lb) of luggage on our UK & Ireland tours and 20kg (44lb) on our tours of Europe.
We recommend you pack light, but we understand you may need more luggage than this when you're travelling.
So, if you arrive in your departure city exceeding these limits, you may either have to deliver your luggage to the finishing point of your tour or store your extra luggage and pick it up once your tour has finished.
These websites list great storage facilities in many of our departure cities.
And below, we've compiled a few of the popular storage solutions our customers choose on our UK & Ireland tours. Your pre-tour accommodation supplier may also be able to store luggage, so it's worth getting in touch with them too.
If you're planning to store your luggage on the morning of your trip, please give yourself plenty of time, so you don't miss your tour.
Our European tours often start and finish in different cities. So if you are travelling with more than 20kg of luggage, your options include storing your excess luggage or a courier service to ship it to a destination of your choice.
