A Note for Our Senior Travelers
We want everyone to have a great time, so it is helpful to know a few details about the day:
Getting on and off boats: During the day, we will use a few different boats. Some are larger, but the small rowing sampans (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.
The Pace of the Day: 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.
Why we recommend a Private Tour for Seniors ?
If you are traveling with elderly family members, we highly suggest booking a Private Tour. Here is why:
Extra Care: Our guide will be right there to give you a hand and focus only on your safety and comfort.
Your Own Speed: You can take as many breaks as you need. Relax and explore without feeling rushed by the group.
Maximum Comfort: We can adjust the itinerary to make the walking distances shorter and the boat transitions easier.
