Our tours are a combination of train and luxury coach and include a moderate level of physical activity, such as short walks to meeting points etc. Unfortunately even the most modern luxury coaches (buses) are not wheelchair friendly, thus our tours are not suitable for those with mobility issues, and regretfully walkers, wheelchairs and mobility scooters cannot be accommodated on our tours.
Traveler reviews
Would look forward to doing it again.
Fantastic tour, moves quickly but our guide Paul O'Neil was terrific moving us ahead in all transportation and ticketing situations. He had great recommendations for food and drink and was meticulous accounting for people, seeing all the sights, and explaining things. All the transfers among rail and coach were taken care of. We didn't have to spend time figuring out the administration of our trip.
