- PLPetra· August 17th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishThe whole tour was excellently planned and organized. There were breathtaking places to see around the world. Our tour guide, Haydee, did a great deal to ensure that everything went so smoothly. She looked after all our fellow travelers around the clock and was always eager to respond to our wishes. You could come to her with any problem or question. Big praise to her! The performance of our coach driver must also be emphasized, as there were some really difficult routes to cover and we always felt very safe and comfortable. All in all - a very impressive tour. Many thanksShow more

Wendy
Asked on August 28th, 2025I have two parents in their late 70s and they are wanting to go on their first retirement trip on a train. However, they need a tour guide and whereas my dad is very mobile, my mother is not. She can walk but not very far or for very long. My dad has memory problems and my mom needs help figuring things out quickly. So I'm looking for a tour where they have a guide that tells them what they're doing but also has an option for my mom if she's not able to physically do the walking required.
ColletteOperator•Written August 2025All of our tours that include a rail option or as a primary feature are categorized as a Level 2 for expected activity levels which could make any mobility and/or memory concerns an issue for your parents in-destination. Travel with an average of 37 people (maximum of 44). If you require any special assistance while on tour, please make us aware at time of reservation so the necessary request form can be sent to your attention.
