Hey guys! It’s WePa, the superhero who makes it safer for all to enjoy their vacation #safetyforall

This is my “Safety News” series where you’ll find safety protocols your favorite travel operators are taking regarding Covid-19, all in one place. 😊

This is my way of helping to make your travel experience safer and easier, enjoy!

I’m very excited to share that Extranomical Tours in San Francisco are working! 🤩

Below you’ll find all safety protocols they’re taking, but first, a word from them:

Our team at Extranomical Tours has doubled down on safety by re-imagining and modifying our tours to protect our associates and guests. Our new procedures meet, and in many cases, exceed guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and World Health Organization. Please note that, until further notice, submitting to temperature checks and wearing a face covering is required while on the tour vehicle (except for children under the age of two). We encourage passengers to bring personal protective equipment and cleaning products. If you leave them behind, we will provide them for your use.

Their “Tour Safe” program includes the following new and revised practices:

Enhanced Cleaning 🧼

  • Nightly deep cleaning and disinfecting fogging by certified crew
  • Installation of high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to capture and remove particles from the air
  • Disinfecting and hand washing by tour guides at stops of greater than 30 minutes

Touchless Touring 😷

  • Elimination of boarding passes
  • No onboard credit card transactions
  • Drivers wear face shields while touring

Social Distancing 🖐️

  • Tour vehicles operating at below their capacity so we can grant passenger requests for empty adjacent seats
  • Staggered on- and off-boarding to permit social distancing
  • New distancing procedures at all tour stops and attractions

Staff Health 🧪

  • Symptom screening for drivers before each tour
  • Mandatory testing with confirmed exposure to COVID19
  • (When available) Weekly anti-body testing of drivers

Another helpful initiative they’re promoting is “Touring Etiquette” that encourages all passengers to take the following precautions:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water prior to boarding
  • Bring a supply of disinfecting wipes for use while away from the tour vehicle
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with your hands
  • Cover any cough or sneeze with a tissue and dispose of it
  • If you have flu-like symptoms, reschedule your tour date

Please let me know if you have any specific questions, so I can address them to the Extranomical Tours team :)

See you next time! Travel safe!
