However, the 21 new autumn departures in Europe that G announced earlier this month to Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Croatia and Iceland will go ahead as planned.

Any travellers booked on a tour departing up to 30 September who do not wish to rebook to a later date will receive a protected refund credit note for 100% of the amount paid, as well as an additional 10% credit.

Travellers can alternatively request a full refund, which G has pledged to pay no later than 31 January 2021, with the money protected via a refund credit note in the intervening period.

Those who have not yet made a final payment will have their lifetime deposit kept on file so they can put it towards a future trip.

Any travellers on a cancelled tour but still wish to travel in September can consider joining one of the 21 European tours departing in September, so long as any travel restrictions in their home country permits them to do so.

All tours departing beyond 30 September are still scheduled to operate. However, owing to the ongoing uncertainty caused by Covid-19, travellers booked on tours due to depart up to 31 December can transfer their booking to a future departure.

Alternatively, they can pay in full and receive a 110% travel credit for a future tour.
