EXPLORE THE WORLD AT A RELAXED PACE
GUIDED TOURS
We focus our travel expertise on organizing guided small group tours, being attentive to individuals with mobility concerns and the relaxed pace traveler. We evaluate and personally visit locations and come up with the very best options for your tour, including considerations of the geographical terrain. We provide accessible hotels, attractions, transportation and restaurants, whenever possible. A professional tour supervisor always accompanies the group, ensuring a smooth, stress free experience.

We keep our groups small, approximately 8-16 people, to allow for a more intimate experience. Smaller group size also equals less waiting, especially during sightseeing and attractions. Each of our tours incorporates ample free time, so you can relax, shop, and explore at your own pace.
