Are our tours accessible?

All of our tours require some walking, some stairs and are not always disabled-friendly. Please email us to enquire about anything specific. We are happy to provide advice and information.

Do your tours take disabled passengers or passengers in a wheelchair?

We can take you on the coach, but there are walking parts of some tours and also steps, so we would advise that disabled passengers either wait in the coach and listen to music on that particular part of the tour or they wait inside the venue – we will make you comfortable.  If passenger is in a wheelchair they can place it in the coach luggage hold and we will assist, but they need to be able to walk up onto the coach to take part.  The nature of the tours does mean they are less suitable for disabled passengers, but we will always try out best to accommodate you.

When booking your tour please choose carefully which castle you wish to visit. Either Cawdor, Urquhart or Dunrobin. You can visit one on your tour but when doing the Cawdor visit you will see Urquhart beside Loch Ness in the background, but you do not visit both.  Time does not allow.
