Hi Carol.
Thanks for your email. Excursions can be paid in GBP or local currency, there will be cash machines available for you to use and as you correctly stated, excursions can only be paid for in cash. Your Tour Manager will guide you all the way though.
Most shops will accept cards yes, we advise take a pre charged card such as the post office travel card as you do not get charged for withdrawals, where as with a credit card, the charges can be quite substantial.
Many thanks
Ben 🙂
