      Amelia

      Traveler•Written January 2023

      I was starting to book this tour for myself and mum but it says it is up to 80 year old. She is a very active 85 year old (goes to the gym twice a week and walks everywhere). Is there a possibility for her to go on this trip?

    • Blue-Roads TouringOperator•Written January 2023

      Yes she would be fine to go if she is fit enough that is not a problem just make sure to make a booking for that date for the two of you to hold the space in.
