How Covid-19 affects your travel with Sapori & Saperi Adventures
Italian government travel regulations
At the moment there are no Italian government regulations which apply to Covid-19. Should the situation change, you will have to comply with Italian regulations which are in force at the time of your visit.
If you exhibit Covid-19 symptoms while on tour with us
If you exhibit Covid-19 symptoms while you are on tour with us, we will require you to take a self-test. If you are positive for Covid-19, for 5 days after the first test or until you test negative whichever is the shorter period you will not be allowed to attend activities or meals with the group for the safety of other people in the group and our producers and restauranteurs. Subject to agreement of the accommodation, you will be able to stay in your room and order meals to be delivered. The cost of your room and of the meals will be covered by Sapori & Saperi Adventures up to the amount allocated in the budget for the tour. Any extra costs are at your own expense.
Travel insurance
Also required is travel insurance to cover such things as medical treatment, repatriation, loss of property, cancellation charges and cancellation of flights. It must specifically cover you for Covid-19 related events: for example, if you or a close relative tests positive for Covid-19 and you are unable to travel (whether because you are showing symptoms or must quarantine and cannot make your flight or you need to stay near a close relative with Covid) or if you contract Covid while you are in Italy and require medical care. We require you to tell us the name of your insurer and the policy number at the same time as the balance of your fee is due.
