Hygieneprotocol

As of October 1, 2021 G Adventures’ Vaccinated Tours Policy applies:  All travelers must meet the G Adventures requirements for joining their tours.  The majority of tours require travelers to be fully vaccinated and the full/final COVID-19 vaccination must be at least 14 days before the first day of the tour.  There are some tours and departures that are only ‘Travel-Ready’ which means all travelers must be fully vaccinated or have a negative COVID-19 test within 96 hours before the first day of the tour.  Please, double check with the G Adventures Support Team about the requirements of your tour and departure date. ** Updated Vaccine Mandate Changes as of 16 December 2022 below** Travel with Confidence & Vaccinated Tours As we continue to see vaccine mandates shifting and countries evolving COVID-19 policies, we have continued to monitor and adjust our policies in line. Based on this, we will be making some adjustments to our Vaccinated Tours and Travel with Confidence policy in 2023. Tours departing on or after March 31, 2023 we will no longer be requiring all travellers to be vaccinated to travel with G Adventures. However, we still strongly recommend that all travellers are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 prior to travelling. As per our existing policy, it is the travellers responsibility to ensure they are aware of and adhere to the regulations of the country they are visiting. Please remember to ensure that your travellers have adequate travel insurance to protect them should their travel plans change, this should include trip disruption and COVID-19 coverage. Our National Geographic Journeys, National Geographic Family Journeys and G Expedition will remain fully vaccinated for all departures . You can read more about these policies here: https://www.gadventures.com/travel-with-confidence/  Leading up to March 31, 2023 our tours will continue to be Vaccinated Tours and you can look for the Vaccinated Tours icon to indicate which departures are vaccinated and which will not require a vaccination as we move forward with this change. You can find more information on our Travel with Confidence landing page https://www.gadventures.com/travel-with-confidence/  or as well as on Sherpa.  Thank you for your continued support as we navigate these updates. ** Updated Vaccine Mandate Changes as of 16 December 2022 above**

1. CLIMATE Weather in all countries visited is similar in May – October period. Summer is warm but rainy with 8 – 9 hours of sunshine. 2. YOUR CEO It is important to note that in Europe, all guiding is based around local guides all of whom are licensed to work only in a particular city. As such, our leaders are able to provide orientation walks which will show you the layout of each town and city as well as the location of local services such as post offices and laundromats, but are unable to legally share historical facts and figures in public places. Your CEO will be able to help you find a local guided tour in each location if you would like one. 3. LUGGAGE In Europe it is very rare to find elevators in train stations, hotels or other public places. We use public transport on this trip, which means you will need to carry your luggage from platform to platform, in and out of trains and buses etc. and also possibly up several flights of stairs. You will also need to be able to stow your luggage safely on trains and buses. It is therefore essential that you pack light and bring luggage which is compact and lightweight, and which you can easily transport. The carrying of your luggage remains your responsibility at all times. 4. COMBO TRIP Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may have previously been traveling together with G Adventures, prior to Day 1 of your tour. Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes. 5. ACCOMMODATION NOTE: Please be aware that properties we stay in with only two stories may not have elevators installed and climbing the stairs with your luggage will be necessary. 6. OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES NOTE: In Europe all year-round we highly recommend booking reservations for any popular optional activities/museum tickets etc. in advance to avoid encountering sold-out activities on the ground while on tour.Berlin - East Side Gallery Visit Along Berlin Wall (Free) - Judisches Museum Visit (8EUR per person) - Television Tower (Fernsehturm) Visit (13-23EUR per person) - Brandenburg Gate Visit (Free) - The Berlin Wall Memorial (Free) - Checkpoint Charlie Museum Visit (17.50EUR per person) - Pergamon Museum (12EUR per person) - Schloss Charlottenburg Palace (10EUR per person) Krakow - Rynek Underground Museum (19PLN per person) - Old Jewish Quarter (Kazimierz) - Wawel Royal Castle (3PLN per person) - Bar Mleczny (Milk Bar) Meal - Horse and Carriage Ride Wieliczka - Wieliczka Salt Mines Visit Prague - Mucha Museum (240CZK per person) - Old Town Visit - Prague Ghetto (Josefov/Jewish Quarter) Visit (10-20EUR per person) - Petřín Hill Hike (Free-30CZK per person) - Prague Castle (Hradčany) Visit (250-350CZK per person) - Letná Beer Garden Visit (Free-3EUR per person) - Kafka Museum (200CZK per person) - Old Town Hall and Clock Tower (110-440CZK per person) - Charles Bridge Visit (Free) - Museum of Communism (150CZK per person) - Malá Strana Visit Český Krumlov - Jewish Synagogue Český Krumlov Visit (Free) - State Castle and Chateau Český Krumlov Tour (360CZK per person) - Biking (5-10EUR per person) Vienna - Saint Stephen’s Cathedral Visit (Free) - Belvedere Gallery Visit (19EUR per person) - Vienna State Opera House Visit (8EUR per person) - View Lipizzaner Horses at Spanish Riding School of Vienna (14EUR per person) - Hotel Sacher Visit and dessert (30-50EUR per person) - Vienna Boys’ Choir Visit (56-200EUR per person) - Schönbrunn Palace Visit/Tour (11-15EUR per person) Budapest - Buda Castle Visit (1500HUF per person) - Thermal Baths Visit (4200-5000HUF per person) - Budapest Bike Tour (28EUR per person) - Hungarian National Museum (1600HUF per person) - Hungarian State Opera House (2900HUF per person) - Great Market Hall Visit (Free) - Chain Bridge (Free) - Budapest History Walking Tour - Parliament Building Visit (5200HUF per person) - Danube River Cruise
