Are there any guided tours that can include wheelchair users?

I would like to know if you can join when you want to but go off and do your own thing when you want to. Would you always have to have meals with the group?

Can you recommend a mini taster tour eg no more than a couple of days which covers a city's main historical landmarks on a tour that has mixed ages?

So you get lots of rest stops?

I'd love to visit the great Buddha in Hong Kong but I know one has to climb lots of steps to get to it. Don't they have lifts, HK being such a modern part of the world ?

Do you have to do all the excursions offered or can you do your own thing sometimes?

I would love to go on a guided trip on my own but don't have any experience as a solo traveller, any tips??

Is it possible to self-cater on a guided tour? Is there ever any flexibility in price if no meals were taken? My travelling companion has a rather restricted diet (including allergies) and from what we can see food is an integral part of most escorted tours so we have always discounted them.

I'd love to go on a safari holiday to South Africa. It's my lifelong dream to cuddle a big cat cub & there's a place called Cango Wildlife Ranch where you can cuddle a lion or cheetah cub but, as I have severe mobility problems I would need a specialised tour that caters for people like me. Are you aware of any that do this sort of thing or anywhere else where I could do this sort of thing

I am looking at going on my very first tour, How would I go about researching what escorted Tours are available and ensure they meet our requirements ?

We went on a great tour while in Iceland where the tour guide was Icelandic and therefore could tell us cultural details from a native point of view.
Can you find out about who will be your tour guide and how experienced they are before you book a trip?

Are there tours designed for people with chronic health problems who are no longer able to walk long distances or hike up steep gradients?

Which parts of the world would you recommend that caters best for vegetarians and vegans, or are guided tours in general, quite good at making sure different diets will be catered for wherever it is located?

I've always fancied Antarctica - is this possible?

I'd like to know whether any guided tours are specifically for people who are older and less mobile? My mother in law would love to do something like this, but she can't walk very fast and feels like if she was part of a tour she may let the group down and become a burden. I just wondered how it works, is there a minimum fitness requirement in order to travel? Thanks

Is there any shorter tours round Europe you would recommend ?

Can you customise the trips you want to do or is is always a set itinerary.

Are there tours to a number of countries in one guided tour... i.e. Far East, Thailand, Vietnam & Cambodia? If so how long is the duration(s)? Thanks!

I am a dyed-in-the-wool introvert and need decompression time alone. I'm certain that I'd offend people I was in a group with if they didn't know the syndrome - do you do tours for introverts with alone-time built in?

My biggest issue is how limiting the tours can be - is it ever possible to have any free, unscheduled time on a travel tour?

I’m not brilliant in coaches. Can I pre-book my seats on any coaches in advance as I need to be forward facing and at the front,

I would like to go New Zealand and definitely want to visit the film set of Hobbiton. Which is the best tour group to go with? I would travel as a single person so don't want to be with just couples and I want decent accommodation and some meals included and not to be shoved in some single box room!

Are there any travel agents providing the flexibility to attend some parts of a tour and not others, like dropping in and out of the itinerary? There are some places I would love to go to (Machu Pichu, India's Golden Triangle, Antarctica to name but a few) but I 'm not sure I would want to be tied to a group the entire time as I like to discover new experiences on my own also!

Would love to go on an escorted tour but with some mobility problems I worry that I will be left behind

I've looked at several trips on your web site. I like the additional information provided: e.g. pre and post night stays, meals, activity level, optional excursions, traveller reviews etc. No mention though of maximum group size?
