All public Durgan Tours are conducted in English and typically attract an American clientele. Our travelers span all ages, although most are between 50 and 70 years old.

For Durgan Travel European tours, you must have a valid passport, which should remain valid for at least six months beyond your return date. For specific entry requirements by country, consult the U.S. State Department website. Always safeguard your passport. We advise making two photocopies of the information/picture page: leave one at home in the U.S. and pack the other in your luggage.

A Durgan Travel representative will greet you just beyond customs at your destination and will accompany you daily until your return journey home.

On many Durgan trips, you have the option to extend your stay at the trip's conclusion, depending on airline policies. To request an extension, please contact us at least three months before your departure to obtain a deviation form. Note that extensions can only be made at the end of your trip due to operational requirements.

The amount of money you'll need for a Durgan tour depends on the trip’s duration, included features, and your personal spending habits. Most of our tours cover a significant portion of your meals and entrance fees, allowing for a comfortable experience with minimal extra costs. We recommend using credit cards for their convenience, security, and favorable exchange rates. If you require foreign currency, your local bank may handle that for you to avoid the hassle of searching for financial services during your tour. However, most maj r European cities offer ATM’s and local currency can be obtained at the best rates using these while on tour.

Most travels require each person to bring no more than one piece of checked luggage (max 50 pounds) and one carry-on piece. We can advise on your specific situation during the booking process.

Most European Durgan trips take place outside of the warm and humid summer season, meaning temperatures will be pleasant for outdoor sightseeing. You will receive a country information sheet with your final documents, and this will give you a better idea of what to expect. As a general rule of thumb, we suggest people dress in layers to allow for temperaturechanges inside, outside, during the daytime, and at night.

Savvy travelers understand that European hotel rooms often differ in size and style from those in America. While the rooms may be smaller and more modest, rest assured that we exclusively choose properties with private bathrooms. Expect your accommodations to be tidy, clean, and equipped with most of the amenities familiar to American guests.

Durgan Tours involve a fair amount of walking, though it is generally manageable for most people. The tours are designed with minimal climbing and a leisurely pace.

To ensure you receive your miles, bring your frequent flyer card to the airport and present it at check-in.
