Please note: some of our tours, hotels or excursions may require some level of walking and/or mobility. As a general guideline, we recommend that you are comfortable to stroll for 20-30 minutes at a time. Concert, theatre and sporting venues typically have tiered seating with a number of steps to reach your seat. Lifts may be available to some levels and there may be a dedicated accessible area, although this isn’t guaranteed. Please be aware that some clients may find tours visiting older properties challenging due to the nature of the building. On our river cruises, there is no lift between decks on any of the ships, stairways are usually steep and at ports of call there will be some walking into town and city centres.If you are uncertain or would like more details, please call our friendly reservations team for more information on the specific tour you are interested in.
