Costsaver has introduced these enhanced hygiene protocols – for you and team members.
Costsaver asks that you please take personal responsibility for your wellbeing. This begins with packing any personal protective equipment and sanitizers you require. Please adopt physical distancing and hygiene practises throughout your pre-trip travel arrangements and follow all health instruction whether physical signage, or requests from the professional staff once you are vacationing.
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, Costsaver 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, Costsaver 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.

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.

Lucian ia the best tour director I have ever met! He is patient, kind, fun, and sensitive to the needs of the travelers. He made our experience one we will cherish for a life time. I am still trying to process my amazing travel experience through out Portugal, Spain, and Morocco! Sincerely, Tonia
Almost everyday has an optional tour. I wasn't aware of that before the trip, I guess maybe that's the nature of the tour group.
Spain was beautiful and the optional Costa del Sol and El Escorial and Valley of the Fallen real standouts. Morocco was also a highlight...didn't spend a lot of time in Portugal, but it was nice.
Loved the bus tour. Everything taken care of for you. If I had to do all the logistics of allnthe things we did and places we went it would have been impossible. Had Phillip for a guide and he was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and took care of every need anyone had. Our driver Lionel was the best. Both very personable and felt. Like friends by the trips end.
Will be back again next trip
it was an amazing trip except the optional experience to a Berber Village in the Ourika Valley that i felt time was wasted. there's a lot of things to see in Madrid, there should have been more time to explore.
The tour covered a lot of ground. It is fast-paced and may not be suitable for older adults who have mobility problems. The group can be as large as 50 people. It was enjoyable yet can be tiring towards the end of the trip.
