Health and Safety Protocols for Trafalgar Tours
Trafalgar has introduced these enhanced hygiene protocols – for you and team members.
You can travel with Trafalgar and be assured that their team has put numerous new measures in place to elevate their hygiene standards and protocols. The well-being of guests and team has always been, and always will be, their primary concern.
In this new, fast changing Covid-19 era, Trafalgar is doing all they can to adapt to new requirements and expectations. Here are some important new steps and procedures that they have implemented to enhance hygiene protocols, to comply with physical distancing requirements by relevant government authorities and to give you the peace of mind when you are traveling during these new times.
Expertly Trained Travel DirectorsTravel Director training equips them with enhanced hygiene and physical distancing procedures. During your trip, they will operate with a duty of care and monitor the hygiene etiquette of the guests, reacting and advising as needed, to ensure high standards are maintained. Before you travel, Trafalgar will also keep you well informed about new protocols required in these areas, and ask that you cooperate with and heed the advice and direction of Travel Directors while on your trip. The Travel Directors have preventative measures in place to try and ensure your well-being and in the event that any unexpected issues arise on trip, they will activate additional protocols.
Stringent On-the-Road ProtocolsThe customized luxury coaches are sanitised before the start of your trip and have always been kept to very high standards. Following the outbreak of COVID-19, Trafalgar have taken additional measures to elevate hygiene and sanitary practices in accordance with guidance from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and as required, applicable government regulations. The Driver training provides them with the latest hygiene protocols. They will clean and disinfect all surfaces including handrails, door handles, tables, seats, air-conditioning filters and overhead lockers on a daily basis. All the guests are asked to follow hygiene practices recommended by the World Health Organisation including the thorough and regular washing of hands and sanitising when required. Hand sanitiser is freely available on board for your use throughout the day. Please bring your own washable face mask and gloves with you, and additional hand sanitiser to make you feel comfortable, as these will be required to be worn in public in some countries. Should an unexpected situation arise, additional face masks, rubber gloves, antiviral sprays and wipes will be available for guest distribution on all trips.
A Full Team of Support 24/7It’s not just your Travel Director and Driver who will be taking care of you. Behind the scenes, the operations and guest support teams are in contact with them and on call 24/7, so you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.
Physical DistancingAdapting to the right size groups, based on government distancing requirements, you can rest assured that you will travel with the comfort of your own personal space. Have peace of mind that all of the experiences, hotels and restaurants you’ll enjoy on your trip have been vetted to ensure they adhere to physical distancing and hygiene guidelines.
Trusted Partners, Exceptional StandardsTrafalgar is very selective in who they work with and choose to only use hotels, restaurants, ground handlers and venues that take the well-being of the guests as seriously as Trafalgar does and agrees to meet expected guidelines and specifications. Trafalgar only works with establishments that they are confident will consistently adhere to their high standards.
Always in the KnowAs part of The Travel Corporation (TTC) , Trafalgar is kept up to date with all government advisories and travel alerts on a daily basis and is continually in touch with all of the partners on the ground in each destination. Also, rest assured that during your trip, the teams work to ensure the supplier partners (hotels, restaurants, museums and other venues) are also applying the same standard to these new hygiene and distancing protocols, to the extent possible.

Question: Are children allowed to come?
Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
We took Spain, Morocco, Portugal trip, 16 days package of Trafalgar, booked through Affordable Tours. We had an exceptionally good tour Director Javier. Entire tour was fun filled, visited historic places and landscapes, good food. We took all the optional tours offered and happy that they were well worth including some special dinners. September is a great month to travel in-these places.
Our traveler director was the absolute best. Nunno is a treasure! Trafalgar is lucky to have someone that is so dedicated to ensuring that everyone on his tour feels special, he is gifted.
Some hotels were below expectations (Corona Sol for example) and felt more like a sparsely appointed college dormitory.
Every trip with gets better and better. A great value for the cost.
Some hotels were not up to standard for this tour. But most hotels were nice.
There were 4 in our family group. We wish we would have been provided with more information on tipping and catching taxis. We had to ask to ask in each country (3 countries). Local guides and primary guide were vague or seem uncomfortable with answering questions on tipping (restaurants, taxis). Also in Morroco, we were told that the markets closed after a certain time, yet when we went there to the market areas after the time we were told would be closed to eat, we found several stores/markets still open as late as 11:00 pm. We made several purchases after dinner. My daughter-in-law had to leave the tour early as she just started a new job and did not have enough vacation days. I asked if we would be able to receive a partially refund for the days she was not there as I provided this info and request at time of tour purchase. I can understand for the hotel as my son would still be using the hotel rooms. However a small refund for the meals would have been nice especially those not at the hotel but at separate restaurants and any site entry fees that needed to to paid on the day of the visit.
Out of the 10 hotels, 2 were definitely outstanding and exceeded expectations, 1 had an older room but beautiful gardens, 2 (Tangier and Granada) were so deficient that complaints were put in writing to the tour director. The balance had some deficiencies and some nice aspects...basically so/so. We wondered why all but 2 only had one luggage rack...with twin beds, would one not expect at least each person would have a suitcase? Older ladies to not appreciate crawling on the floor to get into their suitcase. CostCutter seemed to be going to all the same places as Trafalgar in the same size bus...for the price difference I am not sure their rooms were any worse than ours...ours were not always located near any downtown or scenic spots.
The travel director/local guides and drivers were great, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I was a bit traumatized by going to theMedina in Fes-the foul odors and poop everywhere was not pleasant. I keep an open mind but I feel if we were informed about what to expect then we would have been prepared. Overall Still enjoyed the trip
Too long in Morroco felt trip was designed to push purchases
Just let future buyers know that there are long days of bus time on this tour. Also that the single supplement does not include a single seat on the coach.
Affordable Tours delivered as promised. The price we paid was very good with the discounts provided. Our trip package with the information about our trip arrived about 2 weeks before departure and was complete with everything we needed. Sunny from Affordable Tours was great to work with and she was very professional.
We enjoyed the trip very much. The tour Guide was knowledgeable and explained the places we visited.
Our Travel Director was outstanding, as well as our coach driver. Great!!!!
This was a great trip. The Tour Director on this tour was one of the best, if not the best directors in the business. The driver was great and one of the best. The overall tour, food, lodging, and itinerary I would rate a 9 out of a possible 10.
The tour director was knowledgeable, always on time, answered questions, and always had the agenda for the next day on display in hotel lobby. He did a very good job. A number of the "included tours" were very short and simply poor. With simple changes, they could really have been much better. A little too concerned with selling the optional tours. The hotels were at least 4 star. The welcome reception and farewell dinner were excellent. The coach and driver were top notch.
Too much travel and not enough time to enjoy the best places. Could have skipped Fez and given us more time in Casablanca and Tangiers. Also needed extra day in Marbella
Some comments - 1. Our room at The Golden Tulip Hotel in Rabat had a plumbing issue - The tub didn't drain and dirty water (not from my shower) was feeding back into the tub. Other than this, all other accommodations are great. By the way, I am not the only one who had problem with my room in Golden Tulip.
2. We took all optional tours but the one of the Gypsy Corner. All of them were very well done - with good guides and local flares. Most of them came with dinner of authentic local cousin. I strongly recommend these 'optional experiences', though I think it would be nice for Trafalgar to incorporate some into the regular (included) program (with higher package price, as expected). I normally do not like to take the optional packages, but I am very glad that I accepted these.
3. This trip is an eye-opener for me on the Moorish architecture. I have seen a lot of churches, cathedrals and palaces, but none are like these (seen in Spain, Portugal an Morocco). Please don't get me wrong - The traditional Gothic, Roman, Rococo churches and the temples in the orient are all very great and beautiful, but the Moorish design has a different and unique beauty. It has elegance, precision, and harmony.
I was not pleased with the number of travelers on our coach. We had fifty-one and had to sit five across the back seat for a 6 to 8 hour ride. This was not only uncomfortable but we felt a safety hazard. Our tour guide and bus driver were both excellent but because of the conditions I would not travel with Trafalgar again.
I should of book later in the Spring as the weather was cold & raining. My roommate was a pain with snoring, etc. Other than these 2 issues the trip was very interesting. Thanks
After touring with both Globus and Trafalgar, we feel that Globus offers better value. Trafalgar felt rushed in many places and failed to include tours of important places. No major attractions were included in Madrid and very little time was available to see important sights. Previous experience with Globus had included at least one major sight in each city. The quality of the Tour Directors and Drivers were excellent for both companies.
Some of the hotels were not so good as we thought. The local guides were too fast in their explanations, specially in Lisbon, when she never told us that the bus would change the parking lot and my husband got lost. Impossible to have a kind of lunch; we had 1/2 hr stops and we were 43 people in the tour. Long lines in the restrooms & in the cafeterias.
We had the best tour director he had a really great sense of humor that made us enjoy the trip even more.

Coach trips can get long. After 8 hours, I'd had enough of sitting. Luckily only happened a couple of days, and they stop every two hours of so for restroom breaks. Recommend taking snacks and drinks and something to do on the longer days (tablet, book etc.)
