TRUST OUR BEST-SELLING TOURS TO GET YOU BACK OUT INTO OUR WONDERFUL WORLD
If you’ve been holed up at home, dreaming of heading off to a fascinating destination in search of stories from the ancient world, the time has finally come to turn those dreams back into reality. That’s right, travel is once again on the table and we have been working hard to implement initiatives that will get you back out there safely and confidently.
Choose Andante for your next trip back after the lockdown and you will travel with the reassurance that we’re doing everything to put your health and safety at the absolute heart of your experience with us. How are we doing this? Well, we recently launched an industry-leading 11-step COVID-19 plan for each of our departures along with fully comprehensive travel insurance that includes cover for COVID-19 specifically. So, if you’re wondering whether now is the right time to resume your travels, we hope this information will help encourage you to book your next adventure.
Travelling post-pandemic, at least for the near future, will probably be quite different from what we have all been used to, but it is certainly possible – especially now with the precautions we’ve put in place. To celebrate the fact that the world is finally starting to open up again, we’re presenting here a selection of perennial favourites and new travel adventures to tempt you back. We’ve put 35 years of experience and expertise into these tours, and we think you’ll love them.
Now is a good a time as any to treat yourself to a place on one of our award-winning tours. Sites might be a little quieter, people are likely to be more cautious and tourism just really needs us. So, why not restart your own journey to the ancient world? The time has come – and we’ve missed so much of it already.
Best wishes, Jackie Willis CEO

Keeping you safe
A new world of travel in the time of COVID-19
The past six months have been difficult for us all, and also disappointing for those of us with travel plans that have been disrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our guests have a passion for travel and a desire to appreciate the historic treasures of the world, and we understand that you are reluctant to postpone holiday plans indefinitely. Naturally, many of us are concerned about travelling in the time of COVID-19 and we share these concerns. Whilst the risk of contracting COVID-19 on your adventures cannot be entirely eliminated, here at Andante Travels we have created an industry-leading series of 11 actions designed to minimise your exposure and to help get you back out into the world with confidence.
TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH COVID-19 COVER, STARTING FROM JUST £64pp If you’re concerned about taking a trip following the life-altering events of 2020, we are delighted to reveal that we recently partnered with a provider to ensure that we can now offer you fully comprehensive travel insurance that also includes cover for COVID-19. What’s more, it starts from just £64pp. Some insurers continue to exclude COVID-19 from their cover, as they did from the beginning of the pandemic and others will cover you only if you fall ill during your travels, not if you show symptoms before you depart and need to cancel. While our policy is not the cheapest on the market, it provides you with a ‘peace of mind’ level of cover in these uncertain times.
COVID-19 INSURANCE We can quote for any age of traveller up to 90 (at the time of departure) and any worldwide destination except the USA and Canada. At a glance, your cover includes: • COVID-19 pre-departure cancellation up to £10,000
COVID-19 holiday curtailment up to £10,000
COVID-19 medical and other expenses up to £1,000,000
Standard (i.e. non-COVID-19) cover for cancellation, delay, missed departure, personal accident, personal property, personal liability, loss of passport and legal expenses 11-STEP ACTION PLAN • Free ‘Travel Safe’ kits for every traveller, which include hand sanitiser and masks for every day of the tour in question, and will be sent out ahead of departure • Enhanced health and safety audits • Travel insurance with COVID-19 cover • Distanced seating on our coaches • Self-drive options available • ‘Get me home’ service and private airport transfers available upon request • COVID-19 protocols at our hotels and aboard our cruise ships • Packed lunches and flexible dining options available throughout • Flexible balance payment date and COVID-friendly refund conditions • COVID-19 testing and medical training for tour staff • Constant monitoring and post-tour tracing SMALL GROUPS One of the advantages of choosing our expertled tours is that you’ll be part of a small group. Having fewer guests on our trips allows for an environment that not only fosters new friendships, but enables you to feel very much a part of the group you’re exploring the ancient world with – and there will never be more than 25 people on tour at any one time. What’s more, we now have social distancing measures in place on board our coaches, so you’ll be able to enjoy your personal space while keeping safe, all in the company of likeminded travellers.
