how many stars are the hotels on this trip? what category are?

We use hotels that have an average star rating of 3-4, but tend to be unique to the region.

What is the solo traveler rate? Will they be matched with another traveler or have their own room?

For the tour, passengers booked under a single passenger rate would be assigned their own double bed private room.

What difference would there be in booking one rather than the other?

Back-Roads and Blue-Roads are actually the same company, we just go by Blue-Roads in North America due to there being another company called Backroad.

How do I find out the level of activity and accommodations available? I have a senior client with mobility issues and can't do a lot of rigorous walking.

Our mobility requirements are as below: You need to be fit enough to get on and off the vehicle on a regular basis, and to walk both to attractions and around towns and villages. You also need to able to walk up and down stairs in the hotels and use a shower over the bath. We frequently use traditional style hotels and the majority will not have lifts or ground floor rooms. Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate mobility scooter or wheelchair users. If you have any medical issues, please declare them to us in advance of your tour. If you are in any doubt as to whether our tours are suitable for you, please check with us. We do require passengers to be able to walk at least a mile without stopping. If they do have high mobility requirements, unfortunately our tours may not be suitable for your client.

Is this tour suitable for mobility-restricted traveller? How much walking an a daily basis?

All passengers will need to be fit enough to get on and off the vehicle on a regular basis, and to walk both to attractions and around towns and villages (Ability to walk up to 4 hours on a walking tour). You also need to able to walk up and down stairs in the hotels and use a shower over the bath. Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate mobility scooter or wheelchair users.

We were a party of Australians attending the Dawn Service at Villers-Bretonneux and touring the battlefields. The tour was strenuous because of all the events and places however we expected this. Steve was a great guide, hugely well informed, cheerful and considerate. Accommodation problems were difficult however there was a great influx of tourists - particularly Aus - for this week and everyone did their best and we had a wonderful experience.Show more
