Tour News – 2021 Schedule
Hello Travelers! Welcome to the new year!! 2020 was challenging, but
despite what we’ve been through there is much to be grateful for. This year
Taylor Tours embarks on our 41st year in the travel business. I am pleased
to present your 2021 tour schedule. Many of the 2020 tours are being
repeated, and I have tried to keep pricing as close as possible to the 2020
tour cost despite increases from some vendors. Early booking discounts will
not be offered and credit card use is discontinued for the present time. Your
understanding is very much appreciated.
The 2021 schedule has fewer tours than in the past and the multi-day tours
are shorter and closer-to-home. This is so as to “gently” work our way back
into traveling and spending time together. While the future of our travels
remains somewhat uncertain at the time of this mailing, I will monitor the
tours just as I did in 2020. As a tour date or payment deadline approaches I
will be in touch with you regarding the status of the tour. And of course, you
may feel free to contact me at any time.
Until further notice, here’s what to expect when you travel this year with
Taylor Tours:
• Passengers will be required to wear masks when social distancing is
not possible. This includes standing in line, boarding and moving
about the coach. You will be encouraged to wear your mask
throughout the duration of the tour.
• Tours will be operated at 50% capacity with one passenger per row. If
you wish, you will be permitted to share a row with your travel
companion.
• Please remember that the social distancing on the coach will affect
your choice of seat. You may not be seated in the exact seat you
reserved for the tour. Early reservations will receive priority.
• It is strongly recommended that you bring your own “travel kit” with
you on the tour. This kit should contain your own hand sanitizer,
disinfecting wipes, and any other safety items you feel necessary.Friendly, (but Important) Reminders
