Please contact us for questions about health and safety measures, as well as travel, entry and exit requirements for Italy and Europe. We will be happy to assist you. What are we doing about safety on tour? We have closely monitored the COVID-19 situation in Italy and wherever we operate in Europe, we have analyzed everything we do, and how we do it, with the aim of creating a safe environment on our tours and with our rentals services, by creating, communicating and maintaining safety measures and protocols. Among other things, our office and field staff (from our Director of Tours down to our Tour Managers, Garage staff and Bike Mechanics and on-the-ground Partners) now follow internal guidelines and safety policies related to Covid-19. Cycle Europe has also been actively involved with leading travel industry associations in this aspect โ for example, co-owner Monica Price was a founding member of Active Italy in 2020, and we continue our decades-long involvement in the Adventure Travel Trade Association, one of the most reputable collection of the leading tour operators throughout the world, where co-owner Maria Elena Price sits on the board of directors. Through both relationships, we have interacted with and mutually learned from a number of leading active travel tour operators in Italy, Europe and around the world. In the light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented the following safety measures for our tours (please note many or most of these measures apply to our Guided Group tours only; where applicable to Self-Guided tours, this is explicitly indicated below). Follow local mask mandates. All travelers and tour leaders must wear an appropriate mask or face covering when required. Wash hands frequently for at lest 20 seconds with water and soap, or in absence of facilities, use sanitizer. Keep a distance of at least 6 feet (2 meters) from people outside of our โtour bubbleโ. Depending on the level of community spread in the destination region, we may request that travelers take a COVID-19 rapid self-test before joining the group. In such cases, we will provide test kits at your tourโs Day 1 or meeting hotel. We implemented this strategy for our European tours in September and October 2021, and having received overwhelmingly positive feedback from travelers, we will continue this strategy based on regional numbers These safety measures are based on and will continue to be based on the guidelines of the government authority where the tour takes place (for example, the Italian Health Ministry), as well as the World Health Organization and the US Center for Disease Control. Doing so allowed us to be informed and to have run a successful 2020 tour season. On tour, you can expect the following safety measures to be in place: We encourage everyone not sharing rooms to observe social distancing standards throughout the tour. We are observing and implementing official national and local COVID-19 prevention regulations throughout the course of the tour. We may require travelers to be masked during our tour briefings and other group gatherings, although that may not be necessary if we are outside. Tour briefings and group gatherings will be held outside or in well-ventilated areas only. When entering towns and cities where it is evident that larger crowds might be encountered, we will follow all local regulations which might mean wearing masks. We will provide hand sanitizer and recommend you also bring your own to take along. In shuttles provided by Cycle Europe, we require that hand sanitizer be used before and that masks be worn throughout the ride. Windows will be left open to allow for ventilation when possible during the ride. When entering sites or establishments, we will comply with local official health and safety recommendations. We will arrange group meals only at restaurants adhering to current COVID-19 regulations. If participants attend restaurants for meals on their own, we encourage that mask, sanitizing and distancing rules be followed. Only accommodations and hotels adhering to current COVID-19 regulations will be used on our tours. We ask that you take your helmet, water bottles and bike rear packs to your room with you In the event that someone on tour gets sick, you can expect the following (* also applies to Self-Guided tours): We will have rapid-antigen tests available on tour, and if your test result is positive we will ask you and your travel companion (roommate) to isolate while we verify the result (on self-guided tours, we will provide telephone and/or in-person assistance). This process may depend on local public health regulations in your destination, and could include further testing with the local public health authorities. We will support you in the necessary steps to manage recovery and isolation. This includes logistics for lodging and transportation. You will be responsible for any extra expenses resulting from needing to isolate or take additional tests. If medical assistance is needed, we will follow our standard medical protocols on tour and support you in seeing a professional and getting a doctor (on self-guided tours, our office staff may need to support you remotely via telephone, or with the assistance of hotel staff). We highly recommend you purchase Travel Insurance as most plans cover medical assistance for Covid and some plans also cover trip delay coverage including quarantine or isolation due to Covid. Please check with us if you have questions or need recommendations for travel insurance. If a tour participant on your trip tests positive, we will monitor anyone who has had close contact with them and provide tests for self-testing or will recommend testing with the local public health authorities. We will ask those who were in close contact with the person who tested positive, to refrain from group activities until we can determine that they are not infected.
