  • L

    Leanne

    Asked on November 19th, 2023

    I am looking to travel to Italy in June 2024 with my girlfriend. I have a few questions about personalizing this tour. 1. What is the price of this tour if it's private for 2 adults? 2. I'm not sure how to organize flying from the US to Palermo, it seems many US airlines do not offer flights straight to Palermo. I'm wondering if there's any way to organize this tour so it starts and ends in Rome.

    Daniela

    My husband has bad knees and can not walk long distance. Any opportunity to have a wheel chair available for his bad days. How much walking in any given day?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • TrafalgarOperator•Written June 2023

      We cannot provide your husband with a wheelchair. Hence, he can always bring his own; there is only one wheelchair per trip or tour. He needs to have a companion who will assist him with pushing the wheelchair and ascending or descending the coach steps. Wheelchairs and walkers both need to be fully collapsible and non-motorized.

    • D

      Daniela

      Traveler•Written June 2023

      Wow, that all sounds pretty strenous. If someone isnt feeling up to all the walking. Is there a meeting point, where they could sit and wait until we return to the coach?

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written June 2023

      The Travel Director is the only one who will be able to provide you with information on the tour itinerary, including designated meeting points and potential resting areas where you can sit and wait until the group returns to the coach.

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written May 2023

      As your preferred departure date is not until 19th September 2024, the hotel list is not yet finalised and we are therefore unable to provide you yet the final list of hotels and the number of nights you'll be staying on each hotel.
