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: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
We save $500 each by using this service. Grant was excellent and answering all of our questions and scheduling us for the trip.
Our tour director was excellent, highly organized and informative.
This was the 3rd Trafalgar tour we have been on. Our tour guide was exceptional and more than met our expectations. We also felt that the bus driver was also exceptional, not only a good and careful driver, but also courteous and helpful each time we got on and off the bus. Some of the hotel rooms had bath tubs instead of stall showers and you had to climb 3 feet into the tub with no hand rails. This created a dangerous situation in which we could have fallen.
Trafalgar was wonderful!
We have taken 2 trips with Trafalgar (Greece last year and Britain this year) and they have been great. A good value.
The only problem was the hotel room not ready when we go to London.
Very organized tour. We tried hard to stay on schedule and did very well. Saw an amazing amount of history in 8 days! Tour director was very informed and knowledgeable about the places we visited. Would highly recommend this tour.
Our Trafalgar Guide did not meet the traveling group prior to the departure morning - and then late. There was no coordination on the part of Trafalgar until the group was to leave, causing a late departure. Many travelers did not receive a wake-up the first morning as there was no confirmation of the hotel room assignments by Trafalgar. The Trafalgar Representative that met the group the first night had no idea what he was doing - seemed completely lost or just did not care about his responsibilities. This was our fourth trip with Trafalgar and our last.
Everything went right with our GB trip w/Trafalgar. Even the weather wwas very agreeable!
Everything was wonderful. We are feeling a little old for such a fast pace, though. Perhaps more two night stays rather than so many one nights would be easier for us. You now offer a young people's option. An option for parents or grandparents and teens would be fun. We were lucky that there were several teenagers on the trip to keep our granddaughter company.
Our tour guide on Amazing Britain with Trafalgar was amazing. He really made the tour. My only complaint is that we really didn't have enough time in London to see much.
all in all my trip was everything I expected and more.
