  • Camera (unless you plan to use your phone)
  • First aid supplies
  • Gum
  • Hand sanitizer
  • Medication
  • Phone backup battery charger with cord
  • Poncho or small umbrella
  • Snacks
  • Sunglasses

Comfortable Shoes

When planning a sightseeing trip, you may be on your feet for several hours at a time, for several hours per day. It is crucial to have a good pair of comfortable shoes to wear that day.
