Asked on August 24th, 2024Does that mean you don't even stop so one can go inside them?
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written August 2024
They have explained that due to the long driving distances involved with this tour on Day 1, you will not be stopping at the Castles and will indeed be "going by" them. Are you looking for a tour which focuses on visiting castles exclusively, if so I would be happy to check if we have anything more suitable.

Asked on June 24th, 2024can you accommodate us or you have another suggestion? Our party includes two adults on rollators and two with cane
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written June 2024
Our tours are very go go go - we typically have a fair bit of walking on our tours. I don't think this tour would be the right fit for you - I certainly can check.
- On The Go ToursOperator•Written June 2024
Everything is optional so if there is ever a walk or area that feels too difficult for your group, you are more than welcome to stay on or near the bus and wait until the rest of the group returns. Itineraries are also very flexible so, taking into account your lack of mobility, the driver-guide may adapt the itinerary to be more suitable for all passengers.

Traveler•Written June 2024Do you believe we will be able to participate and enjoy this tour or will we miss a lot because we won't be able to keep up? In other words, how much of this tour is walking?
