Tour Code Rating System The Saint Paul Community Education Tour Code Rating below is an approximate guide to help participants judge the activity level of a tour. Codes are based on the level of activity and physical ability rather than age. On the scale, 1 is the least demanding (appropriate for those with limited mobility but able to board buses on their own) and 5 is the most demanding, requiring a high level of physical fitness and mobility. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unsure if a program is right for you, please call Sandy at 651-744-3072.
