Bottled Water Provided on Tours?

Wondering if on the days we are traveling between towns (Villages Italy in May) bottled water is provided as part of the tour or should we bring our own fillable water bottles?

They usually have bottled water and beer for one € each on the RS tour buses.

I don't think, but not 100% certain, our tour did. I think it was with Walk About. We were on a bus with long driving times between some of the points of interests where access to water would not be available. If this is about
Bg control definitely take your own in case they don't or don't have enough.

Definitely call ahead to ask .

All of the busses on the 10 RS tours I have taken so far had a small cooler with an assortment of bottled drinks for €1 each. So, provided at an extra cost.

Ditto what Mark said. On all the RS tours I've taken, the Bus has had a cooler at the front, with chilled bottled water available for €1 each. There was a sheet at the front for tour members to make a note when they took a bottle, and the balance owing was collected by the guide at the end of the tour.

We were told it was a courtesy provided by the driver.

Yes, the driver was responsible for keeping the drinks stocked since it is his/her vehicle. On a couple trips the cost of the drinks may not have been collected by the driver at the end. But I wouldn't depend on not paying.

I meant a convenience offered by the driver, as opposed to provided as part of the tour .
