Everyone’s safety is our priority
TWP Tours has modified our policies based on the most recent guidelines issued by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention
Our priority at TWP Tours is the health and well-being of our tour participants, guides, local communities and partners. For the past 6 years, we've worked on improving the health and safety expectations of each trip and taking the local context into account. We will adjust tours according to all the necessary policies and guidelines in response to COVID-19.
Health & Safety Protocols

Have a pre-trip health assessment before travelling. If you need to cancel your trip because of illness or recent exposure, please contact TWP Tours staff immediately.

For everyone's safety, all of our partners, local communities, tour participants, and guides, should follow the CDC recommended guidelines, which will be required during our travels. Fully vaccinated tour participants will still need to wear a face mask.

Rental vehicles will be sanitized frequently during the trip with the help of tour participants and TWP Tours staff.

TWP Tours staff will provide additional cleaning wipes, masks, gloves, and hand sanitisers if needed.

Due to covid-19, we will most likely not be staying with local communities for health reasons. However, we will closely assess all accommodations for appropriate cleaning and sanitation.
