    We asked about taking an electric wheelchair on this tour to go in luggage compartment for parts of the trip they sent an email to my husband but only a partial response. The email cuts off. I generally walk and only use the wheelchair for long distances will we able to do the tour

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • WingbuddyOperator•Written August 2026

      Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate passengers who require the use of a wheelchair, including electric wheelchairs, on our organized tours. While we understand that you are generally able to walk and only use the wheelchair for longer distances, the nature of this particular tour involves considerable walking, exploration, and movement over uneven and sometimes challenging terrain. Because of these conditions, we cannot safely accommodate a wheelchair or guarantee that a passenger who requires one for portions of the tour will be able to participate comfortably and safely. This policy applies to all of our organized tours of this type. If you are able to walk and travel without the wheelchair and be able to follow the group throughout the day (full day excursions), then we would be able to accommodate.

  • P

    Peter

    Asked on August 27th, 2026

    Could you please advise if wheelchairs can be accommodated on this tour? The travellers mainly want to ensure that the wheelchair can be stored in the coach.

    Tour Details
    • WingbuddyOperator•Written August 2026

      This is a fully organized tour that includes a significant amount of walking, sightseeing, and exploration. Some activities may take place on uneven terrain, as well as involve uphill or downhill walking. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the itinerary and the accessibility limitations at certain locations, we are unable to accommodate passengers who use a wheelchair.

      Peter

      Traveler•Written August 2026

      Is it possible to join with a walker instead?

    • WingbuddyOperator•Written August 2026

      Unfortunately, even with a walker, this tour can be extremely challenging due to the uneven terrain and walking conditions. Passengers joining this trip should not have any mobility issues, as the terrain can make the experience difficult and may prevent them from fully enjoying the tour. For your comfort and safety, we would not recommend this tour if you require a walker or have mobility limitations.

      1: Are there still openings for this trip? 2: Is this trip included in your Black Friday sale? Is there any discount for a 'group' that books together? 3: Is the Deposit refundable if she cannot travel? 4: Is the Travel Insurance highly recommended? 5: Do you allow for a 3 person room? If so, is there an additional cost?

    • WingbuddyOperator•Written November 2025

      1. There are still openings for this tour, but it tends to sell out quickly. 2. Black Friday promo may provide a discount. 3. We give a discount to groups of 10+ passengers. 4. We strongly recommend trip cancellation insurance. 5. Triple occupancy is available on request with potential additional cost.

      Angela

      Traveler•Written November 2025

      Is the 'lead person' responsible for paying the deposits or can each person pay their own deposit directly? How does the split payment work? Under room selection, this would be 4 rooms at double occupancy, correct? What is the average cost of XCover travel Insurance per person?

    • WingbuddyOperator•Written November 2025

      For a large group of eight travelers, the initial deposit must be made on one card. Later, you can invite other travelers to pay their portions of the remaining balance. Rooms will be booked as 4 rooms with double occupancy. Insurance details will be available during checkout.
