The Best Group Tours for Travellers with Reduced Mobility

There’s no need to skip the beach because of limited mobility if you choose this tour of beautiful Southern Thailand. Even the included kayaking adventure through the mangroves is a gentle paddle with no currents, while other treats include a Thai barbecue on a boat cruise, paddling in the bath-warm waters of Hong Island, or taking it easy by the hotel pool in Koh Yao Yai. It’s the perfect trip to do as much or as little as you can manage. The point of this tour is simply to take in the tropical majesty of this dreamy coastal paradise.

Trains are a brilliant form of accessible travel, as well as eco-travel, not to mention the fact they’re just so much fun! That’s the idea behind our Rail Trips, which use trains to explore some of the most beautiful parts of planet Earth. Our city-hopping Central Europe tour is the ultimate version of Euro train exploration, starting in Berlin and calling at Prague, Vienna and Bratislava en route to our final destination, Budapest. That’s five stunning capital cities, plus one detour along the Danube in Austria’s Wachau Valley, in just 10 scenic days with Culture Trip. You in?

Another Rail Trip of ours takes advantage of Japan’s ultra-modern – and ultra accessible – train networks to cover vast swathes of this amazing nation in just 12 days. We’ll start with a locally guided tour of Osaka, before hopping on the Bullet Train to Hiroshima. We’ll detour to Miyajima Island and Arashiyama bamboo forest en route to Kyoto, perhaps the most picturesque city in all of Japan. From there it’s up to the Japanese Alps and over to Hakone, where we’ll stay at a traditional ryokan inn and cruise on Lake Ashi, before finally reaching our final stop, Tokyo. We’ll watch sumo wrestlers train, learn how to make sushi and sing our hearts out at a neon-lit karaoke bar in the capital.
