Health Policies for Rick Steves’ Tours
Our goal for our 2024 tours is to ensure the health and safety of our groups — and provide a successful tour for you and each group member. By working together, we hope to lead your group through Europe while minimizing disruptions due to illness.
The good news is that we have one simple requirement to help prevent the spread of illness within your group:
If you're exhibiting symptoms commonly associated with a contagious illness (such as a cold, flu, Covid, etc.) while on tour, you will be required to wear a mask on the bus and in other settings when with your group. Please be prepared by packing along your own N95/KN95 masks.
While we will not ask any tour member showing symptoms to test for covid, if you're sick and decide to leave your tour, you may be entitled to a refund or credit for missed tour days, but you cannot rejoin the tour. RSE will provide a $200 per day refund for you (and your travel partner) if you provide a positive covid test or obtain a doctor’s note.
Before you depart for your tour, please review the following:
Please note as with everything in life, this policy is subject to change. If we need to make updates, we'll do our best to notify you prior to your tour start date.
