We share the deep frustration of our clients in wanting to know when it will be considered safe to travel again safely. We are very much “still here” with staff working from home; so sometimes emails can get a faster response for routine enquiries. We know that many clients welcome the chance to discuss ideas or concerns over the phone and we miss the opportunity to talk to them – do call if you wish!
Late last autumn we announced a limited offering of carefully selected tours for 2021 by email and in a new brochure format which was a joint publication with John Whibley Holidays with Music (JWH). We have operated JWH tours for many years and would like to reassure all clients that meticulous observation of health and safety protocols on both is top priority. Sadly we have already had to cancel some of those tours as the pandemic persists, but we will both be adding more offerings shortly as and when “content” is confirmed.
All deposits and payments for TFA and JWH tours are 100% protected by our bonded memberships of ABTA and the CAA/ATOL. Happily, a number of travel insurance policies are emerging that include cover for Covid-related issues – details on request.
As a professional musician myself, now “single vaccinated”, I share the much publicised frustration of my fellow artists in their desire to see venues open again in ways that are both safe and financially viable. There is no substitute for live music-making. I do hope you will feel confident to book a TFA or JWH trip soon; do stay safe meanwhile.
