Providing a negative COVID test may be a requirement for entering your destination country. For your return journey to the UK, there are no testing requirements, whether you are fully vaccinated or not, and there is no requirement to complete a passenger locator form.
Accessing the appropriate private test for travel is now easy in most countries. If, from the available information it is clear that a test is required, we ask you to choose your test provider in good time. We have put together a Testing Guide for UK Based Travellers, to give you all the information you need in one place:
The full list of testing providers approved by the UK government can be found here; to help you choose we have provided details for 4 large and well-known providers whose services we believe will meet your needs and included their details within the guide.
We update this document regularly so please do check back for the latest information before you depart for your adventure.

The UK government has also provided this guidance for international travel including the latest Coronavirus Restrictions.
Ensure you have checked, understand and can comply with entry requirements for your destinations country, and for returning to the UK. Please note these will be informed by your individual circumstances, and in particular your vaccination status.
The UK government uses a two-tier system to identify countries that are considered high risk in terms of COVID infection rates and/or variants of concern, and those which are not. They are categorised into ‘Red’ list countries, and all other destinations, respectively.
Check the entry requirements for your destination of choice from your country of departure.

For extra peace of mind, Exodus requires all those travelling on group holidays to have had a vaccine or negative COVID test – known as ‘COVID-Clear’ status. Please ensure that you understand this policy and can comply with it before you travel with us.
If you are travelling: to a country where one of these is an entry requirement, you do not need to provide Exodus with proof of your COVID-Clear status prior to travel; you can expect this to be checked by your airline and/or by immigration officials when you arrive in the destination country.
If you are travelling: within the UK, within your home country (outside the UK), or there are no entry requirements of this nature, or the requirements do not meet those outlined below for the destination country, you will need to fulfil one of the below criteria. Please hold documentation proving your vaccination status or confirming your negative test result (as appropriate). Checks may be made by our UK based team prior to travel, or during your trip by your tour leader. If you are unable to provide proof when requested on the trip, you will need to take a COVID test locally, at your own expense.
Exodus’ COVID-Clear requirements - All customers will need to have one of the below in place prior to travel.
1. Be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with the last dose having been administered no less than two weeks prior to travel. The total number of doses must have been given, as required by the vaccine manufacturer (in most cases this is two doses).
2. A negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of travel
The Exodus team, both in the UK and overseas, are on hand to provide you with guidance and support from the moment we first speak to you, right through to after you are back home. Throughout your journey with us, you will have our support.
