We have all adapted to this new world, where it’s imperative for us to take additional measures to stay healthy.
That’s why you can travel with us reassured that we have put numerous new measures in place to elevate our hygiene standards and protocols. The health and well-being of our guests and team has always been, and always will be, our primary concern. In this new, fast changing Covid-19 era, we are doing all we can to adapt to new requirements and expectations.
For your peace of mind, we have implemented the following hygiene and distancing measures across our coach tours:
These important new measures have been implemented to enhance hygiene protocols, and to comply with physical distancing requirements by relevant government authorities.
Below you can read through additional steps we are taking to give you the needed peace of mind during your travels in these new times.
Our Guides operate duty of care and monitor the hygiene etiquette of our guests during our tours, reacting and advising as needed to ensure high standards are maintained. Our Guides have preventative measures in place to try and ensure your well-being and in the event that any unexpected issues arise during your tour, they will activate additional protocols.
It’s not just your Guide and Driver who will be taking care of you. Behind the scenes, our operations and guest support team are in contact with them and on call 24/7, so you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.
Our customised luxury coaches are sanitised before the start of your tour and have always been kept to very high standards. Following the outbreak of COVID-19, we have taken additional measures to elevate our hygiene and sanitary practices in accordance with guidance from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and as required, applicable government regulations. Our Drivers are trained with the latest hygiene protocols and will clean and disinfect all surfaces including handrails, door handles, tables, seats, and overhead lockers on a daily basis.
All of our 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 our guests to use throughout the day. Please bring your own additional hand sanitiser to make you feel comfortable, and washable face mask and gloves, as these may be required to be worn in public in some locations. Should an unexpected situation arise, additional face masks, rubber gloves, antiviral sprays and wipes are available for guest distribution on all Evan Evans coach tours.
Adapting 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 inclusions you’ll enjoy on your tour have been vetted to ensure they adhere to physical distancing and hygiene guidelines.
We are very selective in who we work with and choose to only use venues that take the health and well-being of our guests as seriously as we do and agree to meet expected guidelines and specifications. We only work with establishments that we are confident will consistently adhere to our standards.
As part of The Travel Corporation (TTC), Evan Evans is kept up to date with all government advisories and travel alerts on a daily basis and is continually in touch with all of our partners on the ground in each location. Also, rest assured that during your tour, our teams work to ensure our 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.
Evan Evans has been recognised by Visit England as confirming to follow the UK government and industry COVID-19 guidelines, ensuring processes are in place to maintain cleanliness and aid social/physical distancing. Along with our family of brands at TTC, we have also implemented the health & hygiene Safe Travels protocols outlined by the World Travel & Tourism Council for global tour operators.
We have introduced these enhanced hygiene protocols – for you, our other guests and our team members. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. According to Public Health England, senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable. We ask that you please take personal responsibility for your wellbeing. This begins with packing any personal protective equipment and sanitisers 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 our professional staff, once you are traveling with us. In choosing to travel with Evan Evans, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID19.
Let’s help keep each other safe and healthy.
