Please note that whilst we have a fleet of modern, comfortable vehicles (ranging from 13 to 21 seats) these are not modified to be wheelchair accessible. There are a number of steps leading to the main cabin which you will need to be able to manage these unassisted. For safety reasons we are only able to store fully collapsible wheelchairs on board. Please advise if you are bringing a collapsible wheelchair along, as we would need to book an additional seat and ensure we have the correct equipment with us on the day to secure it, so it does not pose a safety issue for you or any of your fellow passengers. Not all attractions visited on tour are wheelchair accessible. Please contact our customer service team prior to booking so we can assist you.

Children are welcome on all of the day tours and we recommend that people travelling with children consider whether the itinerary is suitable, in particular, the activities involved and the duration of the tour to ensure the comfort of small children. For all tour types, children under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. We offer children’s rates for 0 – 15 years, and they are entitled to travel at the child rate (some restrictions apply).

Booster seats can be provided, however, these must be pre-booked at least 72 hours prior to the tour departure date.  No prams are permitted inside the vehicle as we don’t have storage space.
