    • TrafalgarOperatorWritten May 2025

      When traveling with Trafalgar, many of your expenses are covered, including accommodations, some meals, and transportation. However, you might still need additional cash for out-of-pocket expenses like optional experiences, souvenirs, and meals not included in the tour package. On average, you might want to budget around $30 to $50 per day for these extra expenses. This can vary depending on your personal spending habits and the specific activities you choose to participate in.
