  • G

    Graham

    Asked on June 26th, 2026

    I walk with a rollator. Is the Classic South America tour fully accessible? I don't mind missing minor sights.

    Tour Details
    • Luxury GoldOperator•Written June 2026

      This tour is not fully accessible, as some excursions involve uneven terrain and stairs. However, since you don't mind missing minor sights, you may still join and enjoy the core experiences. Once you have a booking, you will be asked to complete a form that will be submitted to our relevant department. This allows us to gather further details and specifications of your mobility aid, so we can advise our Operations team to ensure space is allocated under the coach for your equipment, along with any additional requirements you might have. Our goal is to ensure a safe and enjoyable vacation experience with us. We will also need the collapsed measurements of the aid device to ensure there is adequate space on the coach.

      Graham

      Traveler•Written June 2026

      What about luggage transfers from/to bus & plane?

    • Luxury GoldOperator•Written June 2026

      On this tour, luggage transfers are handled for you both at hotels and during internal flights. That means porterage is included, and your bags are taken care of when moving from the coach to hotels, and when checking in/out for internal flights. You won't need to manage your own baggage, as the Travel Concierge and staff coordinate these logistics to ensure a seamless experience.
