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.

We had an excellent experience on our trip with Trafalgar.
Thanks to Trafalgar and our guide, the Scandinavia tour was a trip of a lifetime. I would highly recommend
The hotels (except Marriott hotel) are not impressed, no a/c. If I know in advance I will not book it
Too many Optional Packages. Some of these packages could have been included in the tour. Otherwise, the trip was to our expectations.
Should have been warned about lack of A/C at most hotels.
Everything about the tour was terrific.
The Trafalgar tour of Scandinavian countries was probably the best choice to visit three countries - Denmark, Norway and Sweden in less than two weeks and yet be able to travel through the most spectacular sights in the world. We traveled by bus, boat, train and a combination of these modes - bus on a boat! All the hotels offered good breakfast and some of the USA based chains were far superior to the local ones in terms of amenities they offered such as coffee pots in the room or tea/coffee. Otherwise the service was quite good. Trafalgar's tour director and the driver were exceptionally professional, efficient and knowledgeable. All in all, a good trip with lots of memories.
director was a great multi-tasker and certainly had a lot of problems to contend with - great job!
Of the six tours we have taken with Trafalgar, this one scored at the bottom of the list. Everything was very well done and the tour director was excellent, but somehow the Scandinavian trip lacked the excitement of former trips. The fjords and Norwegian mountains were beautiful, but the optional offerings were not as interesting as those in other tours. There was also a second Trafalgar bus that followed about fifteen or twenty minutes behind us which made the stops crowded. It was as though there were 96 people on the tour instead of 48. There were separate tour directors, but I definitely didn't like the second bus. I do believe that Trafalgar is an excellent company...it's just that this tour didn't meet our expectations.
As a retired, single woman, I am so comfortable traveling solo with Trafalgar on their various tours. Absolutely loved last year's tour of England & Scotland with Military Tatoo experience, just finished Scandinavia & Fjords tour with the enjoyment of May 17 Constitution Heritage Days experience, and am looking forward to Grand Italian Experience tour this Sept. 2016. Thanks for great trips & memories.
This was our 5th trip with Trafalgar. We were a bit disappointed with the overall experience. Many of the rooms were not up to the standard we had received in the past. As well as the hotel staff. We didn't think this tour guide was as good as the previous tours. The optional tours were all very excellent. We will probably give Trafalgar another try because of the past positive experiences.
Very little time and very few included sightseeing, most of the time was used for optional excursions.
A new bus without foot rests was not comfortable.
Above and beyond my expectations. The tour guide was informative, courteous, fun, and shared lots of interesting information along the way.
Trafalgar was outstanding and will be my "go to" providers in the future. This was a truly wonderful trip with lasting memories. I've already recommended it to others!
