The Best Group Tours for Travellers with Reduced Mobility
Our hand-picked selection of trips enables travellers whose priority is accessibility to explore destinations around the globe.
Nothing should stop you from seeing the world. Whether you have limited mobility or are looking for vacations for people with disabilities, travelling comes with extra challenges, but can still be just as adventurous and inspiring. Head to the postcard-perfect beaches of Thailand, the pyramids of Egypt, or the unforgettable Galapagos islands with these Culture Trip adventures.
Southern Thailand, for river cruises and kayak adventures
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.
Egypt, for guided Giza Pyramid tours and a Nile cruise
It’s possible to make the most of Egypt’s most awe-inspiring sights even with limited mobility. On this Culture Trip tour, you’ll tick off the Sphinx and Giza Pyramids, plus travel by overnight sleeper train to the temples of Luxor and board a cruise ship to journey down the Nile in comfort. That’s in-between visits to the big-ticket sights like Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings.
Japan, for culture, cuisine and neon-lit cities
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.
