Advice/Support on managing 6 hotels in 13 days
Excited but a little concerned about this itinerary. I think I am pretty good at traveling... as this will be my 4th Tauck tour. Please advise on how to successfully manage these 6 hotels in 13 days. Have made reservations for Oct 2026. Thanks in advance!!

Packing cubes. Unpack only what you will need at each stop. This is a wonderful tour, one of my top 3 (out of 21). Enjoy!
Thanks, MCD. Is there a lot of dressy events that need dressy casual attire? (ex Blue Danube tour had numerous dressy events).
As MCD indicated, packing cubes/envelopes work great. Bundle everything needed for two (2) days and just pull one cube/envelope per hotel stay. Use travel size toiletries.
My husband and I like to unpack SOME items at each hotel. I like to divide my toiletries into separate bags. One bag for everyday essentials (hanging), one bag for all the what if meds and first aid things. One bag for hair supplies. I only unpack the hanging bag for most hotel stops. Leave all the other items in my suitcase, along with shoes and clothes I'm unlikely to wear on a given stop. I try to think ahead as to what I might need for the next few days (knowing that the suitcase is available, if needed). Also recommend packing cubes and/or plastic ziploc bags (use those for socks and underwear).
If there are luggage racks, we'll put our bags on them to access as needed. Admittedly, it's mentally and physically tiresome. We will continue to do land tours while we have the stamina and likely switch to river/small ship cruises when we've had enough. Nice to have options. On our recent Patagonia trip, we were thrilled that we only had 4 hotels in 11 days. A real treat!
No advice on packing and unpacking, but that's a very good tour. You'll enjoy it. (We went in 2019).
I was afraid the area would still show signs of the 1992 war but everything was very nice and modern.
