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.
Evan Evans has been recognised by Visit England as following 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.
For your peace of mind, we have implemented the following enhanced hygiene and distancing measures across our coach tours:
|
|
Physical distancing measures are in place during check-in, boarding and to disembark our vehicles |
|
|
Vehicles are fully sanitised before the start of each tour. All surfaces are cleaned and disinfected daily |
|
|
Hand sanitiser, antiviral sprays and wipes are available on board to use throughout the day |
|
|
The maximum capacity of our vehicles will be limited, and seating is planned so that households/support bubbles are seated separately on the coach |
|
|
Guests are encouraged to bring their own face coverings as these must be worn throughout the tour. A supply of spare disposable masks will also be made available at check-in |
|
|
Guests are provided with personal audio headsets so distancing can be maintained when listening to commentary |
|
|
We encourage guests with e-tickets to bring these on their smart devices, and we recommend contactless payments only |
|
|
All tour inclusions have been vetted to ensure they adhere to physical distancing and hygiene guidelines |
|
|
Our team, including our guides and drivers have been newly trained in our enhanced hygiene and physical distancing procedures |
Please note that we currently cannot accept a booking of more than 6 guests, and we ask that guests stay within their individual group at all times during their tour. Guests from different households are not permitted to mix indoors at venues in high or very high risk areas. All guests must follow the guidelines in place at each attraction.
Below you can read through additional steps we are taking to give you peace of mind during your travels in these new times.
Our guides operate duty of care and monitor guest wellbeing throughout our tours. Our drivers have been newly trained in hygiene and distancing measures, and behind the scenes our operations team are in contact with them and on call, so you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.
We are very selective in who we work with, and 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. Also, rest assured that during your tour, our guides work to ensure our inclusions are also applying the same standard to these new hygiene and distancing protocols, to the extent possible.
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.
