Travel Preparation Guide
Make your journey smoother by following this essential guide before and during your trip with Shahin Tour.
Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates. Confirm if a visa is required for your destination and allow sufficient time for processing.
We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your trip from any unforeseen events, including cancellations, medical emergencies, travel delays, or lost luggage.
If you need assistance purchasing a travel protection plan, our team is happy to help guide you through the process. Just contact us at (818) 251-8009 or email shahintourla@yahoo.com.
Travel insurance offers peace of mind — so you can focus on enjoying your journey.
Bring your passport, visa, travel insurance details, flight/cruise tickets, and a printed copy of your itinerary.
Pack according to the weather and planned activities. Bring comfortable walking shoes as many tours involve moderate walking.
Don’t forget phone chargers, power banks, and international adapters (based on destination plug type).
Include personal prescriptions, motion sickness remedies, pain relievers, hand sanitizer, and a basic first aid kit.
Carry a small backpack with sunscreen, reusable water bottle, tissues, lip balm, hat, and a lightweight rain jacket.
Exchange a small amount of local currency before you travel or locate currency exchange centers near your hotel.
Bring a combination of cash, credit/debit cards, and be aware of foreign transaction fees.
Plan for out-of-pocket expenses such as meals not included, tips, optional tours, and souvenirs.
We highly recommend securing both travel protection and medical insurance to ensure peace of mind.
Consult your doctor regarding any required or recommended vaccinations for your destination.
Familiarize yourself with local emergency numbers, cultural customs, and travel advisories. Respect the laws and traditions of the country you’re visiting.
Confirm airport pick-up and drop-off arrangements. Shahin Tour offers transfer services for most destinations—check your itinerary for details.
Check your airline’s rules for carry-on and checked baggage size and weight limits to avoid extra fees.
If you plan to use local transit, consider downloading apps like Moovit, Transit, or Google Maps in advance.
Contact your phone carrier to enable international plans or purchase a local SIM card at your destination.
