Is it possible to rent a scooter for someone unable to walk long distances? Can the scooter be met at the airport?

We do not get involved with personal mobility scooter rental. The scooter would need to be foldable to fit under the bus. The passenger is responsible for loading/unloading the scooter, as drivers cannot handle them due to injury risks.

I am interested in the tour from 7 to 15 October. Can we have a twin bedded room throughout the tour? Do you allow for special dietary requirements? We both have gluten intolerance, and have cut down on carbs because of this.

Yes, you would be booked with 2 beds in the room. And yes, we do advise the restaurants of any dietary restrictions. But please also make sure that when you book, there is a place to mention that in the booking process.

Very disappointed. From the beginning, things were unorganized and changing. We were never provided with luggage tags or name tags. I carried my own luggage in and out of all but 3 of the hotels because porters were not available as they should have been when we arrived or in mornings before we left as tour guide had indicated. The hotel in Boston was changed, and the new hotel did not provide breakfast on the first and last day as itinerary described. We were told they couldn't accommodate our large group; but the hotel itself had a buffet breakfast available every morning to purchase for $33.00 apiece with a large breakfast room??? What a nice surprise to be told as we were dropped off the first night that by the way, be ready to go at 7:30AM but you're on your own for breakfast. There might be a bakery across the street the guide said. Also, that first day in Boston our tour turned into a walking tour because the traffic was so congested. It's Boston during rush hour, what did they expect? Local tour guide was not prepared as she was expecting to have a microphone in the bus. It was hard to hear, and some people were older and not expecting to walk that much. We did not get to Qunicy Market at all where we were supposed to spend some time, it the Boston Harbour. The second day for some reason our Maine Lobster lunch was pushed back so that we didn't finish eating until 3PM but our evening buffet was served at 6:30PM. No one was hungry even. The third day when we went to Flume Gorge, our tour guide was asked if there were a lot of stairs on the hike as we had several people who couldn't handle them well. She indicated there were a few; but it was more like 100+ stairs. Another day we visited a Franscican
