Your enjoyment while on holiday is our top priority, and as such, Great Rail Journeys strives to provide tour packages suitable for a wide range of travellers. Our mobility ratings can help you choose the itinerary that best meets your needs by considering factors like a tour's pace and the types of excursions included during the adventure.
Because each location has its own unique terrain, historical sites and walking requirements, it is essential to consult your chosen itinerary and alert a Tour Advisor about any concerns you may have about suitability. Please note all forms of travel used during your journey, as coaches do have stairs, and trains may not always be accessible for mobility aids. Further, to preserve the historical integrity of landmark sites, original features often remain intact, including walkways, staircases and other passages that may be unlevel or otherwise difficult to navigate for some guests. Our Tour Advisors are here to help, and in conjunction with the mobility ratings below, we can help you book the trip of a lifetime with Great Rail Journeys.
Our tours utilise various transportation methods, including Eurostar, local railways, scenic trains, coaches, ferries and boats. While reasonable accommodations are available during many transfers, exclusions may apply, so be sure to contact our Tour Advisors with any concerns.
At the time of booking, please make your Tour Advisor aware of any accessibility concerns you may have, as our handpicked hotels present a variety of accommodation options. If the facility cannot cater to your needs, we will work with you to find a more suitable holiday option.
Europe's river cruise ships are accessed by stairs and narrow gangways. Before booking your river cruise, consider if your mobility allows you to board independently, and then speak to a Tour Advisor about your holiday's ship to see if its rooms are accessible for your needs.
Consult your itinerary and its mobility rating to see how much walking is included on your holiday. While you are free to relax instead of explore, many destinations bring the opportunity to walk around and sightsee. These excursions could include uneven walkways, narrow paths, crowded streets or long distances that should be considered prior to booking. Further, mobility ratings account for the walk to and from your hotel, which could include a distance of up to half a mile while toting your own luggage.
From walking tours and sightseeing by coach to heritage train rides, cruises and landmark visits, each of Great Rail Journeys' holidays features excursions to enhance your journey. View your tour's online page before booking and your travel documents ahead of departure to learn what is included, and contact a Tour Advisor with any questions about suitability.
