    Is there an age limit on this trip? We would be traveling with my Mother who is 86. Are wheelchairs available? She can get off and on the bus etc., but may need a wheelchair or walker for places that require lots of walking. Can she bring her own walker? Is there a discount at all for single occupancy? Is it possible to have her near our room in the hotels and seat on the bus? What is included/not included in the stated price? Is transportation to and from the airport included or do we have to make our own arrangements?
