Exodus policy on travel advice

Exodus monitors travel advice closely for every country we visit, and we follow their advice to the letter. Should the advice be to avoid non-essential travel to an area of a country we planned to visit, we will ensure itineraries are changed and travelers are contacted.

Should the advice change to recommend against travel to a whole country, we will not operate the tour and will instead offer all travelers the chance to transfer to an alternative tour or request a full refund.

Where the advice may be temporary and we have tours due to operate, we will communicate regularly with travelers who are booked to travel about the options available.

 Before you depart

Act responsibly and be responsible for yourself when abroad.
