    This was a great tour, mostly made great by our tour guide, Gabrielle, and the group. There were a few things that could have been improved upon, such as hotel situations. But overall it was a great experience.

    Asked on January 5th, 2025

    Would you be able to handle this tour considering my mother is 76 and I have some problems with balance

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • CosmosOperatorWritten January 2025

      All of our tours involve a fair amount of walking. On-foot sightseeing typically lasts 1-3 hours with at least one stop per hour. Should you feel the need to sit out for a strech of sightseeing, our Tour Directors can accommodate that. For our Europe tours, we do have some baseline mobility requirements that all guests are ambulatory and can use stairs.
