Dear active travellers, dear AugustusTours customers
even if the corona virus still presents us with great challenges, the currently decreasing number of infections in Germany and the resulting easing of the situation give hope for the tourism industry! In view of current developments, we currently assume that most of our trips will be feasible for foreign travellers again from mid of June 2020.
We are happy to accept new bookings after checking your desired travel date and the current regulations in your country of origin and destination. Please give us 15 working day's notice for new bookings so that we can prepare your trip in the best possible way. Special requests are currently only possible to a limited extent.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone +49 (0) 351 56348-20 or by This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. / contact form. Of course, we will do our best to deal with all requests as quickly as possible and to get back to you as soon as possible. However, we ask for your understanding in case of delays, as all requests are currently being processed due to the enormous demand for urgency. Please give us a necessary lead time of 15 working days for new bookings, so that we can prepare your trip in the best possible way. Special requests are currently possible with some reservations.
We thank you for your loyalty, your words of encouragement and are looking forward to continue to organize trips for you in the future.
Yours Anke Herrmann and the AugustusTours active tours team
What is the current situation in Germany?
Since a couple of weeks, the number of new infections in Germany has been declining. Gradually, restaurants and hotels, shops, museums and parks have reopened again. Of course, all this happens under strict hygiene conditions (restriction of the number of visitors, wearing of mouthguards, distance rules, etc.). We hope that tourism now slowly can recover, even if only within Germany for the moment.
Unfortunately we are not yet able to tell when guests from abroad will be able to visit Germany again. Nevertheless, we are optimistic that a further relaxation will follow in the next few weeks, so that international travel will be possible again step by step from 15/06/2020.
Of course, the safety and health of our guests always has the highest priority for us, which is why we carefully check current innovations regarding travel warnings and, if necessary, react promptly and contact with the guests who have booked. Please trust that we will always act in your interest and find an amicable solution with you.

We currently offer a rebooking option free of charge for all trips with a departure date up to 30/06/2020 (applies to AugustusTours original tours; partner tours may have different arrangements, dates subject to availability).

Information for active guests arriving after 30/06/2020
In case of a persistent travel warning for international travel we must cancel our trips in the regions affected by it. As long as there is no explicit travel warning from official institutions, the trips cannot be cancelled free of charge. In this case the general cancellation conditions apply.
Please understand that we cannot foresee the further development of the situation. We will of course react to changing situations and update this page regularly due to current news. Be assured that we will always keep an eye on the situation in the travel regions and give green light when holidays are possible again.
