The wellbeing and safety of our passengers, staff and communities visited have always been our utmost priority. While we adjust to this new world, we are committed to ensuring your peace of mind with enhanced health & safety standards and practices on our tours.

As we monitor and comply with the official advice from the UK Foreign Office, World Health Organization and government authorities on a daily basis, we have implemented several policies and precautions on our tours for your wellbeing.

As the world starts travelling again, many countries and the global travel industry are striving to assure the wellbeing of travellers with various initiatives.

We have received the Safe Travels stamp by the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), which allows travellers to recognise companies around the world that have adopted health and hygiene global standardised protocols – so consumers can experience ‘Safe Travels’.

Vaccination Policy
A core principle of Travel Talk is to provide safe travels for everyone engaging with our tours, and to minimise as much as we can, the risk of anyone travelling with, catching, or passing on Covid-19. It is our responsibility to strive for the safest way of travelling to ensure we safeguard our travellers and the communities we touch, especially vulnerable populations with lower vaccination rates.

Furthermore, it is often required by local venues that visitors provide proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test within 48 hours to visit museums, touristic sites and restaurants in the countries we travel to. In order to allow travellers to have the best and the safest experience, and to avoid frequent testing – which can be quite costly for travellers, we have implemented this travel Vaccination Policy.

With these in mind, we have updated our vaccination policy to require all travellers joining any Travel Talk tour departing as of 1 October 2021, to be fully vaccinated. Accordingly, any traveller partaking on our tours should receive their second vaccine dose at least 14 days prior to the starting date of their trip. Proof of vaccination, either printed or digital, must display the traveller’s full name as shown on their travel document. Every traveller must provide a proof of vaccination or medical exemption to the Travel Talk tour guide before joining a tour. In case you are not fully vaccinated and/or unable to get vaccinated in time, our team will work with you to arrange an alternative travel date that is suitable. ....less

Environmental Responsibility

Travel Talk recognizes the impact of travel on climate change. Hence, we strive to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible through efficient vehicles and transportation, sustainability and waste management policies across our destinations and offices.

We practice recycling and energy-use management at our offices. While reusing paper and printer cartridges, we have also significantly reduced any print material. Switching to digital over the last years, we have almost zero collaboration on printed paper, and communicate with all our passengers online or over the phone.

We have taken our environmental responsibilities into consideration on all our tours. In order to maintain a small ecological footprint, we always prefer buses with a lower environmental impact on all our tours, year-round. In India, all our guests are offered to use a personalized refillable water thermos, eliminating any plastic. In Morocco, plastic bags banned to reduce waste, a practice we encourage at all our destinations. In Egypt, we sail the Nile on traditional Feluccas with no engine to preserve the nature. In Greece, we stopped operating the major sailing tours in 2014, and use the public ferries with lower gas emission for island hopping tours instead.

At every sight visited, especially natural sites and parks, all the trash is collected by the guide before you leave the bus, with proper warnings given to preserve the local nature. Travellers are always warned about potentially hazardous acts in certain environments – such as risk of forest fires due to cigarettes during the summer. ....less

Local Tour Guides

Behind every great Travel Talk tour is a great team, who are enthusiastic and excited to share this experience with you. Our carefully selected and professional tour leaders are either licensed local guides or experienced tour managers.

Our team members and tour leaders are consistently rated as a true highlight on all our tours. We are proud to have a highly skilled team that is passionate about the most important things – travel, people and the experience!


Like-Minded Travellers

A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles. We know that the best travel experiences are created together with the people you travel with. Travel Talk tours attract incredible groups of like-minded travellers with a desire to get off the beaten track, experience the authentic culture and tradition while having fun.

Travel Talk brings together cultural explorers, adventurous spirits and all chasing the most unique travel experiences. Our tour leaders still find it hard to say goodbye to everyone at the end of the trip, and so will you. Don’t be surprised to see fresh plans cooking with your new travel mates a day after your tour. ....less

At Travel Talk we do not only provide excellent value for premium adventures, but also continuously strive to exceed expectations. Through our customer-oriented approach and experience, this effort is present in all aspects of our trips.

We believe that our affordable tours, quality accommodation, transportation and sightseeing tours could not achieve this alone. It is only possible together with like-minded people, passionate tour leaders and the overall atmosphere of a Travel Talk tour. However, we never rest on our laurels, instead constantly improve our tours year after year. Our travellers’ satisfaction is our purpose fulfilled. ....less
