A Note for Our Senior Travelers<\/b><\/h3>\r\n

We want everyone to have a great time, so it is helpful to know a few details about the day:<\/p>\r\n

Getting on and off boats:<\/b> During the day, we will use a few different boats. Some are larger, but the small rowing sampans<\/b> (the ones that go through the narrow canals) can be a bit wobbly. If you have trouble with balance or find it hard to step into a small boat, it might be a little challenging.<\/p>\r\n

The Pace of the Day:<\/b> Group tours move at a set speed to stay on schedule. If you prefer to take your time or need extra help with the steps and boat docks, it can sometimes feel a bit rushed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Why we recommend a Private Tour for Seniors ?<\/b><\/h3>\r\n
