Question Do Rick Steves Tours Cover the New 2025 ETA?

[TravelGeek77]

I'm curious about the new ETA requirements coming in 2025 and how they impact those of us booking tours. If I'm traveling with a Rick Steves Tour, are we automatically covered, or do we need to apply for it separately? I want to make sure I have everything sorted before my trip. Any insights from fellow travelers would be really helpful!

Great question! While Rick Steves Tours are known for their thorough planning, the ETA (European Travel Authorization) is something you'll likely need to handle personally. It's a new requirement for travelers from visa-exempt countries entering the Schengen Zone, and it’s tied to your passport, not the tour. I’d recommend keeping an eye on official government websites closer to 2025 for the exact application process. Have you started looking into the specifics yet?
