Europe is not always for someone with disabilities and we encourage you to assess your abilities frankly. With our tour, there is a good amount of walking. Our hotels are located in the "old town" which makes getting in with a bus challenging. We often need to load and unload the bus and walk to our hotel, with our things, up to 1/4 mile. Some of our hotels do not have an elevator and the most interesting parts of any of our destinations are located in pedestrian only areas, usually paved with cobble stones. As a guideline we recommend you be able to sustain a pace of 3 mph for up to 20 minutes. 

Many of our group meals have a pre-planned menu and we offer the very best in common German cuisine. We can accommodate many dietary restrictions including common ones like Vegetarian and various allergies. However, we asked that you inform us up front. And, I am afraid that the traditional restaurants we commonly use will almost never offer Vegan selections. 

This being Germany & Austria, alcohol is abundant and many of your fellow travelers will be enjoying beer and wine during the meals. In the markets, the alcohol drinks are a beloved part of the the Christmas Market experience.
