Traveling as safely as possible in this new world will also likely be uppermost in your thoughts.

These include face masks for every day of your tour, social distancing measures, enhanced hygiene protocols and insurance options with COVID-19 cover. Additionally, for your peace of mind, we have reduced the time frame for paying vacation balances from 84 days to 70 days prior to departure, and this can be reduced even further if we feel that there is any chance that the tour will not go ahead as a result of COVID-19 presence or restrictions in your chosen destination. And, if you are forced to cancel your tour as a result of COVID-19 symptoms and cannot make an insurance claim, we pledge to be as understanding as possible in our cancelation fees and charge only what we cannot recover ourselves. What’s more, you can secure your place on tour for only $149!
