Thank you for visiting my website. If there is anything you would like to ask about travel in 2021, please do get in touch and I’d be delighted to assist you.
Here are some key considerations when thinking about International Travel.
The French Roadmap
President Macron has announced the French roadmap out of the pandemic. On 9th June, foreign visitors will be able to enter France with a 'Health Pass' and hospitality venues will be allowed to open indoors. Later in the month on 30th June, the country's curfew is set to end. There is still some uncertainty around the 'Health Pass', but UK & US authorities are working to make it compatible. It has been said that the NHS app could indeed be the 'Health Pass'.
Traffic Light System
Destinations around the world have been assigned a green, amber or red status based on a range of Covid-19 health metrics, including vaccination numbers, infection rates and variants. If a country is on the green list you don’t have to quarantine when you return home. You will, however, still need to take a pre-departure test before leaving the country to return to the UK. When countries open to UK travellers they may still require you to provide proof of a negative PCR test on arrival or proof of two vaccine doses.
At Sophie's Great War Tours, we are regularly monitoring the situation and will be here to give you guidance as the regulations unfold.
1) Government Guidelines
Sophie’s Great War Tours is always reviewing the Government guidelines to understand how we can operate safely.
In the months leading up to a tour departure, if it becomes obvious that a trip may not go ahead as planned, due to local or national lockdowns, guests will be informed with plenty of time so that plans can be rearranged.
2) Our Covid-19 Guarantee
If we need to move a tour to a later date due to Covid-19, no customer will incur any increases on the cost of that tour: the price you were promised will stay at that rate. Our full terms and conditions apply.
3) Financial Protection for Customers
As a UK Tour Operator, Sophie’s Great War Tours operates in line with the Package Travel Regulations 2018. Your deposit monies and final balance payments for tours are held securely in a Travel Trust Account to ensure enhanced financial protection for all customers.
4) Our Cleaning Regime
Before the outbreak of this pandemic, we at Sophie’s Great War Tours ensured that our vehicles were cleaned regularly throughout the day, to create a comfortable environment for customers to relax and enjoy.
All customers will be issued with their own hand sanitizer bottle and the cleaning programme has stepped up another notch too.
Sophie’s Great War Tours would love to help you with a special trip to the battlefields. The diary for 2022 is also getting very busy, so if you’d like to discuss dates that work for you, please do get in touch.
