Below you’ll see the extra precautions we’re taking to help you decide when you’re ready to travel again.

What to Know Before You Go
As destinations around the world begin to welcome travelers once again, local authorities are doing what they can to reopen responsibly. Certain states and countries have instituted new measures like testing requirements or specific restrictions on travel. We're keeping a close eye on regulations that will affect our departures this year, both on domestic trips and abroad. See our page here for more information.

Support and Prepared Trip Leaders
Our offices are staffed for emergencies, and we'll be there to provide support for you and our field team when needed. Our Trip Leaders, will have a protocol to follow in case of any health issues. A new training program for our Trip Leaders will set them up to support you as we travel in these unusual times. They'll be proactive communicators and prepared to manage logistics around any adjustments needed during your trip.

Arriving Healthy
On day one of your Tour of Sicily trip, all guests will have their temperature taken by a our Trip Leader. Please understand that a reading of >100 degrees will mean we are unable to welcome you on the trip.
