COVID 19 – Safety Policy

We have put some safety measures in place already and are continuing to follow Government advice regarding the steps we need to take.

At present, the following measures will apply, but please note that the advice is changing on a regular basis and may be different at the time of your holiday. We will issue you with our updated policy with your final pick up details.

Seat Allocation

We will endeavour to keep you as close as possible to your original seating request. We ask that you keep to your designated seat for the duration of your holiday.

Boarding the Coach

Your temperature may be taken at the departure point. Anyone with a raised temperature will not be permitted to travel

Hand sanitiser must be used when entering the vehicle – if you are wearing gloves you will be asked to remove them and sanitise your hands, as gloves are more likely to spread infection.On boarding the coach, passengers may be requested to fill the back seats first, and on disembarking the vehicle. passengers seated at the front will disembark first. Where it is safe and possible the emergency exit may be used for those sitting at the rear of vehicle. We ask that you do not congregate in the aisle and remain in your seat until the exit is clear, unless an emergency evacuation is in progress.

Face Coverings

Passengers will be required to supply and wear their own face coverings while on board the coach. If you are unable to wear a mask for a medical reason, we ask that you advise us prior to travel so that we can advise the coach operator accordingly.Anyone who arrives at their departure point without a mask who has NOT notified us in advance will not be permitted to travel.

Food and Drink

Can no longer be allowed on the coach. So therefore we have adjusted all our running times to allow you extra time and comfort stops on your journey.

Onboard Cleaning

All touch points (e.g. hand rails) will be regularly sanitised and the coach will undergo an enhanced cleaning routine before, during and after each tour. The coach will be disinfected via use of a disinfectant every evening while on tour. Anything left on board will be treated, therefore we accept no liability for any damage or staining to anything left on board the coach. We are unable to clean the coach toilet between individual uses while in transit. As such, we ask that it is only used in an absolute emergency.

Luggage

Anything placed into the overhead luggage racks is likely to come into contact with other peoples’ possessions, Therefore we ask that, where possible, you restrict your in-coach luggage to one bag which will fit underneath your seat and do not place anything on seats which are left empty.

Hotels

Each hotel will have their own policy regarding the safety measures they have put in place, which may include a different way to check-in, changes to restaurant access/meal times, extended meal times and social distancing policy in public areas. Please pay attention and abide by their guidelines.Ensure that you regularly wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds throughout your stay.

Excursions

Where possible we will endeavour to operate our holiday excursions as advertised, however please be aware that some changes may need to be made due to individual venues, limiting capacity or changing access/availability to some or all parts of their property.

Respect for Others and Our Staff

Please be patient with your coach driver and other passengers. These measures are in place for the safety of everyone during your holiday.

Do Not Travel

If you feel unwell, have any symptoms of Covid-19 or have been contacted by the Track and Trace System, please obey the Government guidelines on self-isolating and do not attempt to travel on your holiday.If you begin to feel unwell AT ANY POINT during your holiday, you must notify your driver and the hotel staff IMMEDIATELY and obey all instructions given in accordance with Government advice.Our normal terms & conditions will apply and we will not be liable for any additional cost, losses or cancellation fees incurred by you under these circumstances.
