We are now open for travel in Seattle! Under the guidance of Washington State requirements, we are running tours in Phase 2. Portland remains closed. We encourage you to reach out to us to learn more about our tours in 2020!
What does this mean for you? In order to provide a safe experience for our guides and guests, a few things look different. For one, our groups will be smaller, which means more time to connect with your guide and your destination. Please visit our page dedicated to coronavirus travel information for particular details.
We take the safety and health of our travelers and guides seriously and personally; we understand that the uncertainty around COVID-19 is frustrating for travelers and we're here to help. If you’re not sure you’re ready to travel – that’s okay! We are here to talk through all the options with you.
Our team is monitoring the situation closely, relying on experts (World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, US Department of State, and local health organizations) and staying up-to-date with current developments.
If you have any questions, please contact us! As always, our team is here for you, and we're focused on ensuring that your experience with us is fantastic, safe, and stress-free.
