      TravelerWritten February 2026

      I'm a healthy 78 but walk slowly in comparison to most younger people. I need to know if the guides walk briskly always because they are always "on a schedule". I am considering the "Shades of Ireland" tour.

    • ColletteOperatorWritten February 2026

      The overall activity level of this tour is a level 2. This means you like a balanced approach to travel. Walking two to three miles over the course of a day is no problem for you. You can handle a variety of terrains, from cobblestone streets to moderate hills with relative ease and without assistance. You can climb two flights of stairs with ease. Expect some full days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. You can handle altitudes up to 6,000 feet. While this level is appropriate for travelers that require mobility assistance devices, there could be times when you may have to sit out on some of the included activities. To kiss the Blarney Stone, you will have to walk up 128 narrow steps to the top, and back down again.
