Please be assured if you have already booked with us and are insured with Endsleigh, this too offers excellent Covid-19 cover.

Full details of your insurance cover will be available on your client portal once your booking is confirmed. All members of your group are insured from receipt of first deposits.

If you wish to organise your own travel insurance, please let us know so that we can ensure this is not included in your tour cost.

If you are an adult ensemble:

Our band and choir tour packages do not include travel insurance as we understand that many people will have cover for themselves. It is vital that you ensure all your group have adequate travel insurance in place before departure. We would be happy to pass on the details of insurers who offer very good cover. Please contact us for details.
