What's In Your Tour Documents?

When you reserve your tour, you will have access to pre-departure documents such as the Day-By-Day Itinerary, General Information, Accommodation List, Luggage Guidelines, and more. If you are looking for specific information, refer to the Tour Documents on your My Odyssey portal; there is a wealth of information within these documents that cover everything from tipping on tour to public holidays at your destinations.

Please note that, in some cases, our pre-departure documents may not be finalized at the time you confirm your reservation.  In these cases, you will receive a confirmation email, but the documents will not yet be visible in the portal.  We will send another email when these documents become available, and will continue to send emails that include airline itineraries, visa information (if applicable), luggage requirements, and other reminders as needed.

Below is a full list of what you may find in your My Odyssey portal, and what each document contains.
