    • Back-Roads TouringOperatorWritten April 2023

      We cannot help you with airfare reservations. This is something you would need to organize separately from us. I still have a twin room (one room two beds) available on this date if you would like to make a booking.

      Nothing that late in the year unfortunately the last departure is the 22nd of September for the wonders of Wales

  • L

    Leslie

    Asked on September 6th, 2022

    Is there some way we could take our meals and eat outdoors. We are very concerned about eating indoors due to Covid. It doesn't have to be formal. We could have our meal on a paper plate and we don't mind sitting on the facility's steps, a nearby bench, wall, etc. to eat our meal. Just don't want to catch Covid.

      If this is something you feel is needed to make yourself more comfortable and safe whilst on the tour, I'm sure that this can be something your Tour Leader and yourself arrange whilst on the tour. Whilst I can't confirm there will always be specific outdoor dining, if you are happy to just be outside to eat, I can't see there being any major problems.
