Please read our health and safety measures in preparation for your upcoming trip…

The health and safety of our guests is our #1 priority! The worldwide pandemic has changed the landscape of travel and Pack a Fork is following both CDC and local guidelines worldwide.

During small group tours, guests are in close contact on the coaches, in restaurants, at public sites and other settings requiring preventative measures.

For this reason, Pack A Fork will follow these health and safety guidelines on all small group tours:

• All guests must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
• This includes being up-to-date on booster shots. Boosters should be taken more than 14 days prior to departure.
• Proof of vaccination and boosters will be required to complete the registration process. We will ask for a copy of your vaccination card.
• Bring your CDC vaccination card and one hard copy with you on the trip.

We will keep you updated prior to departure regarding any changes to a country’s specific entry and vaccination requirements.

• Many airlines and airports have specific safety protocols. We encourage you to check with your airline for any updated safety measures. For example, you may be asked to arrive early at the airport to add more time for check-in and at security checkpoints.
• Purchase KN95 or N95 surgical face masks for the best protection for airline travel and during the tour. Many airlines do not allow cloth face masks.
• We recommend wearing face masks in all public areas.
• Current social distancing guidelines will be followed.
• Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the trip.
• All staff and coach drivers will be fully vaccinated - including Booster shots - against COVID-19.
• Face masks are required while traveling in tour coaches.
• Coaches will be cleaned and sanitized before use.
• Accommodations have been carefully selected for their safety standards against COVID-19.
• Whenever possible, meals in restaurants will be individually plated and served. The exception to this is breakfast buffets in some hotels. The dining staff will follow best health and hygiene practices to ensure food safety and prevent the spread of illness.

If you test positive for COVID-19 while traveling:

• Staff will assist in arranging the logistics for your quarantine.
• All costs related to quarantine, i.e hotel, meals, medical treatment will be at your own expense or covered according to the travel insurance policy you have purchased. Purchasing travel insurance with COVID-19 protection is highly recommended.
• Rejoining the tour will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may or may not be possible.

We will do all we can to ensure your safety and health while traveling. However, we expect all guests to follow best health and safety measures as directed by staff to prevent the spread of illness.

By working together, we will endeavor to create a safer travel experience for everyone.

If you have questions or concerns, please contact the office.

Refer to the CDC’s Covid-19 requirements: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html
