COVID-19 SAFETY GUIDELINES

Safety first

The safety and wellbeing of our clients, tour leaders, and suppliers will remain our priority and our operations will be carried in a safe and responsible way.

We will review all aspects of the holiday to check accommodation, transport, and other situations against our Covid-19 Safety Guidelines and seek to verify that they comply with the health & safety requirements.

New Covid-19 Health & Safety Guidelines

We’ve developed new health & safety guidelines so we can be confident your wellbeing is being considered throughout your holiday with us.

We’ll update these as the world’s understanding of the virus improves.

Monitoring of Advice as it Develops

We are continuously monitoring the Portuguese Government’s health guidelines and industry advice as well as information from our destinations on how they’re keeping travellers safe and able to enjoy their holiday.

Small Groups

We’ve assessed the group sizes our hotels, transport companies, and other services providers can cope with in order to maintain safe distancing between guests, and carry out the enhanced new cleaning measures to minimise risks.

Our Tour Leaders

Our clients are very well looked after by our own trained tour leaders.

They always have the clients’ best interests at heart, can monitor local safety and hygiene arrangements, and are able to make on the spot decisions to protect their well-being.
