• Your Trip Leader will give you details on the optional tours while you’re on the trip.
But if you’d like to look over descriptions of them earlier, you can do so at any time by
referring to your Day-to-Day Itinerary (available online by signing into My Account at
www.oattravel.com/myaccount).

Optional Tours: Reserve Before You Go

We strongly recommend that you reserve the following optional tours in advance. Unless
otherwise noted, the deadline to do so is 45 days prior to your departure. Occasionally, space
will be available for booking onsite, but this not guaranteed. Optional tours with O.A.T. can
only be purchased with a credit card (Visa or MasterCard) or a debit card with credit card
functionality. Because our headquarters are in Boston, charges may appear to be from Boston
or might be labeled as “OPT Boston” (depending on your credit card company).

Imperial Russia: The Kremlin Armory Tour

On this tour, we’ll see some of Imperial Russia’s treasures in this internationally
acclaimed museum. The former arsenal of the tsars from the 16th to early 20th
centuries, the Armory was later turned into an exhibition hall for the public. Discover
more about the history of Russia through objects such as coronation regalia, ceremonial
weaponry, and the world’s largest collection of Imperial Faberge eggs.

Communications

Cell Phones

If you want to use your cell phone on the trip, check with your phone provider to see if your
phone and service will work outside of the U.S. It may turn out to be cheaper to rent an
international phone or buy a SIM card onsite. If you want to use a local SIM, just make certain
your phone can accept one.

Calling Apps

Another option is to use a smartphone app like Skype or FaceTime. These services are usually
less expensive than making a traditional call, but you’ll need a Wi-Fi connection and the calls
may count towards your phone plan’s data allowance. Many smartphones—and some tablets
or laptops—come with one of these apps pre-installed or you can download them for free
from the appropriate apps store.
