Country Walkers will schedule that test on your behalf and fit it into your itinerary. The cost of the test would be your responsibility. Most testing sites accept credit cards, but some destinations will require cash. PCR test costs vary from $50-$300 per test, depending on destination. Your guide can advise you whether cash will be required for this test when you arrive on tour so you have time to visit an ATM.

Guests who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 are not required to disclose this to Country Walkers.

Airports and airlines have continually updated their policies and boarding requirements in response to COVID-19 including, but not limited to:

• Wearing a face mask at the airport and onboard is now optional on most airlines. We recommend coming prepared with your own supply of face masks.
• Additional travel document screening during check-in. Be prepared for a longer check-in and security process. We recommend contacting your carrier and/or airport for the most up-to-date requirements and suggested check-in time.

We recommend that you check your flight itinerary on your carrier’s website one week in advance, and again both 24 hours and 6 hours in advance. With the limited number of flights currently in service, you may be rescheduled from your original flights to alternate flights. Last minute cancellations can happen. Routes may be less direct and layover times longer. Seat assignments may change due to itinerary and/or equipment changes. It is always your carrier’s responsibility to rebook you.  Should your flight get canceled, contact your carrier online, via phone, or using the check-in line to confirm new flights.

Guests who develop COVID symptoms will be required to isolate and complete a COVID-19 test. A negative test result requires no further action. Guests who test positive on tour will not be able to continue with the tour and will be asked to isolate per CDC guidelines or destination guidelines, if more restrictive. All guests requiring medical or logistical needs will also receive free access to our 24/7 emergency assistance support hotline.

Country Walkers highly recommends that guests purchase travel protection for potential coverage in these types of situations.

Dinners will remain a highlight during your trip. We are working closely with restaurants and inns to ensure that safety procedures and local regulations are followed.  When possible, we will enjoy meals al fresco and offer take-out options.

Guides are trained on the latest recommendations for safe food handling. There will be a focus on individually packaged snacks and picnic items, and your guides will wear protective gear like gloves and masks when handling and serving food.
