The Best Group Tours for Travellers with Reduced Mobility
Our hand-picked selection of trips enables travellers whose priority is accessibility to explore destinations around the globe.
Nothing should stop you from seeing the world. Whether you have limited mobility or are looking for vacations for people with disabilities, travelling comes with extra challenges, but can still be just as adventurous and inspiring. Head to the postcard-perfect beaches of Thailand, the pyramids of Egypt, or the unforgettable Galapagos islands with these Culture Trip adventures.
Southern Thailand, for river cruises and kayak adventures
There’s no need to skip the beach because of limited mobility if you choose this tour of beautiful Southern Thailand. Even the included kayaking adventure through the mangroves is a gentle paddle with no currents, while other treats include a Thai barbecue on a boat cruise, paddling in the bath-warm waters of Hong Island, or taking it easy by the hotel pool in Koh Yao Yai. It’s the perfect trip to do as much or as little as you can manage. The point of this tour is simply to take in the tropical majesty of this dreamy coastal paradise.

The Galápagos, for island safaris and incredible wildlife
Just five days long and with only light physical demands, this exotic Culture Trip tour of Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands might be the stuff of bucket-list daydreams, but it’s also suitable for any traveller. If kayaking and snorkelling is out of the question, then a boat ride and beach walks should help you encounter penguins, iguanas and sea lions, while the lava trails of San Cristóbal are surprisingly easy to traverse, depite the remote nature of the island. The best part of this trip is our stay in a glamping site that also homes over a hundred giant tortoises, so you can hang out with the archipelago’s most famous residents while cosying up around the campfire.

Central Europe, for the ultimate train travel experience
Trains are a brilliant form of accessible travel, as well as eco-travel, not to mention the fact they’re just so much fun! That’s the idea behind our Rail Trips, which use trains to explore some of the most beautiful parts of planet Earth. Our city-hopping Central Europe tour is the ultimate version of Euro train exploration, starting in Berlin and calling at Prague, Vienna and Bratislava en route to our final destination, Budapest. That’s five stunning capital cities, plus one detour along the Danube in Austria’s Wachau Valley, in just 10 scenic days with Culture Trip. You in?

Japan, for culture, cuisine and neon-lit cities
Another Rail Trip of ours takes advantage of Japan’s ultra-modern – and ultra accessible – train networks to cover vast swathes of this amazing nation in just 12 days. We’ll start with a locally guided tour of Osaka, before hopping on the Bullet Train to Hiroshima. We’ll detour to Miyajima Island and Arashiyama bamboo forest en route to Kyoto, perhaps the most picturesque city in all of Japan. From there it’s up to the Japanese Alps and over to Hakone, where we’ll stay at a traditional ryokan inn and cruise on Lake Ashi, before finally reaching our final stop, Tokyo. We’ll watch sumo wrestlers train, learn how to make sushi and sing our hearts out at a neon-lit karaoke bar in the capital.
