Times have been strange this past year. People have been hunkered down in their homes, worried about their jobs, anxiously watching the news, and even homeschooling their children. The only thing that has seemed certain in the age of COVID-19 has been the incredible uncertainty of everything.

All this has made it hard to plan for travel. We have many, many clients who want to travel, for whom it is a necessary act, a true pleasure, a way to connect with themselves and the world. And they don’t want to miss out on the chance to travel. But how can one plan a trip in the midst of so much uncertainty?

Find out which countries are currently open to US travelers.

Worry-Free Travel

Worry not! Because of the challenging and unprecedented times in which we’re living, we have asked our partners to work with us to offer Worry Free Trips for 2021 travel.

What is a “Worry free trip”? Simply put, it’s a new booking for one of our eligible trips that you may cancel up to 31 days before the trip start date and get 100% of your deposit back. A 30% deposit is required to book, and balance payment is due 31 days prior to the start date. This means you can book with peace of mind knowing that if world events do not improve you can change your mind.

Here is a list of the trips that are eligible (list is subject to change, please consult Terms & Conditions for up-to-date list):

Special Flexible Trips

If you don’t see the trip you want, don’t worry! We also have many trips in Italy that are eligible for special flexible booking terms with cancelation up to 31 days prior to the trip start date with only a small cancelation fee of $200 per person:
