Reply To: Advice about travelling with some mobility issues in Japan
May I trouble you with one more question?
I saw a post from a tour operator organising tours for wheelchair users that they may not be appropriate for people with mobility issues who can walk.Do you have recommendations of tour operators who, though not specialised in accessible travel, would be more sympathetic to my mum’s situation (i.e. she can walk short distances with a cane and happy to skip excursions that she cannot do)?
We realise that temples and shrines involve lots of walking and climbing. Since we do not view these as tourist attractions, we are quite happy to exclude these from our itinerary but unfortunately all tours seem to include them 🙁
Any advice as to what type of tour operators to turn to?
