Our 7th RS tour is May 12 Village Italy and I am trying to decide about advisability of taking our collapsible walking sticks. Did not own any walking sticks when we took our previous 6 tours but now that we have them wondering if worth taking on Village Italy tour. .

I took my trekking poles on my recent Best of Sicily tour, and was glad I did! I only took one of them on the bus, which was enough since we were not "hiking". Mostly I'm a klutz and found it really useful at some sites. Some other tour members told me they were going to get some for future trips.

Only you can decide what’s best for you. The nuisance of packing additional items may be a small price if you gain more confidence and safety while walking. My moving parts are in good working with adequate balance as well. For me, there’s no need for walking sticks, trekking poles or whatever you may call these assistive devices.
