Activity Levels
To help evaluate if a tour is right for you, Holiday Vacations has designed a rating system that identifies a tour’s average activity level.
Holiday Vacations guests must be able to navigate airports with their own luggage. Airport personnel can provide wheelchair assistance upon request. Guests must also be able to handle their own carry-on bags on airplanes, on and off motorcoaches, and to and from hotel rooms. Checked luggage will be delivered to and from guests’ hotel rooms on their behalf. If a guest requires mobility assistance, they must be accompanied by an able companion who is totally responsible for providing the guest’s necessary assistance. Holiday Vacations does not provide personal attendant services.
All activity level ratings are relative to each guest’s individual levels of fitness and mobility. Holiday Vacations is unable to determine your travel health and fitness level. Please consult your doctor when evaluating your ability to travel.
